"Shen Ning" is derived from "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou", which says that on Gushe Mountain, "the skin is like ice and snow, and the body is like a virgin. It does not eat grains, but breathes wind and drinks dew. It rides on the clouds, rides on flying dragons, and swims beyond the four seas." The divine being, "whose divine concentration makes things unblemished and ripe."

The works on display this time all involve the concept of "sacred geometry". "Sacred geometry" is a concept that combines geometry, religion or mysticism, believing that certain geometric shapes have special sacred or spiritual meanings, including circles, squares, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, etc. Sacred geometry is considered to reflect the order and structure of the universe and is widely used in architecture, religious rituals, art and spiritual practices. It is a medium that leads to the sacred or spiritual realm and is used to explore the mysteries and inner meaning of the universe.

Suzan Drummen (1963) grew up in a devout Catholic family. Her father was also a visual artist who produced many religious images for churches. There are always beautiful stained glass windows with bright colors in the church, which left a deep impression on the young Drummen and even inspired her later artistic creation.

Although Drummen never considered her works to be religious art, they do have a deeper spiritual meaning beyond their beauty. Since ancient times, many cultures have invariably made patterns and organized colors in various ways. Just like a child arranging a team of colored pencils in the order of the rainbow, Drummen sometimes consciously makes something that makes no sense, only to later discover that it actually connects with the greatest thing of all - even though she sometimes couldn't understand it herself, she became increasingly convinced that there was a deeper meaning - life itself.

Susan Drummen creates large-scale installations with shiny materials. They are carefully placed on the floor with precision. After an exhibition, the installation is usually dismantled and a completely new work constructed elsewhere, so that all that remains are the documents. Therefore, she always takes a lot of photos, which are very photogenic. However, Drummen was sometimes frustrated that the photographs never fully captured the work's true appearance. These installations are dazzling, and photographs can only show one dimension. To enhance the photos, she digitally manipulated some of them, placing part of the photo eight times in a circle in a kaleidoscopic manner, then adding stained glass and lenses to the kaleidoscopic images for an added touch. The glass and lenses interact with the light, shimmering as the viewing angle changes, sparkling like the original installation, beautiful even in the dark, and the gleaming stones appearing brilliant as the morning light turns brighter.

Drummen has a diverse art education background and studied at well-known universities such as Rijksacademie van Beeldende kunsten and Kunstacademie Maastricht in Amsterdam. Her works have been exhibited in important exhibitions around the world, including the Rotterdam Art Fair, Chengdu Biennale, Japan Mori Art Museum, etc. She has also participated in many public art commissions and designed commemorative coins, medals, museum merchandise, and more. In addition to her creative work, Drummen is a passionate educator and promoter of the arts and has served as a lecturer at several art colleges and institutions. She is actively involved in various artistic activities and community work, and has served as a member of several art committees, including the Royal Art Award and BKVB. Her work is in the collections of many important institutions, including the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Bonnyfontein Museum in Maastricht, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Central Museum in Utrecht, Europe The Brussels Office of the Parliament and more other institutions.

Pascal van der Graaf (1979) has been practicing origami since he was four years old. This was the starting point for his creation of deformed canvases. Basing on sacred geometry, "tessellation" is a popular theme in origami, which is why he created this series.

Folded tessellation patterns are made on rectangular, circular and pentagonal frames. The surface of the rectangular painting is divided into 12 units, each of which is folded in a cross, the basic shape in origami. The paintings of circles and pentagons begin with lines based on sacred geometry, forming patterns that van der Graaf uses to fold the canvas. None of these works has a completely symmetrical pattern, as the folds are not exactly the same; moreover, the canvas has its own personality. Van der Graaf playfully directs the folds of the canvas until an emotional harmony is achieved.

In this series of works, van der Graaf named the rectangular painting "Incense Pouches", which comes from the song "Incense Pouches" by the late Taiwanese singer Yan Yongneng. The lyrics combine Taiwanese traditional temple culture and historical sentiments, with a strong "Taiwanese flavor". van der Graaf shows his tribute to Taiwanese culture after settling in Taiwan for 8 years.
