Click Ten Gallery is pleased to present the second installment of\u00a0Enactivism\u00a0<\/i><\/em>, titled\u00a0Layer Study: Sampling and Mediation. The exhibition opens on\u00a0August 27\u00a0and runs through\u00a0October 26.<\/p>\n

Enactivism\u00a0emphasizes the\u00a0process of artistic creation, resisting the reductive “objectification” of art into a singular finished product. Instead, the exhibition foregrounds the\u00a0time and labor\u00a0invested by artists in their working methods. Centering on the core concept of the\u00a0“layer,”\u00a0the show investigates how contemporary artists combine emotion, experience with inspiration and rational processes\u00a0within this fundamental framework of painting\/image-making\u2014a synthesis that does not constrain creativity but rather activates\u00a0serendipity and unpredictability\u00a0in the act of making.<\/p>\n

The layer is both a basic technical logic and a procedural step in artistic practice. Process and habit profoundly shape an artist\u2019s conception and final outcome. Classical painting\u2019s glazing techniques follow strict sequences, while modernist mixed-media approaches equally prioritize material properties and operational logic. With the rise of digital art\u2014especially the widespread adoption of graphical software interfaces\u2014the “layer” has become\u00a0increasingly visible and systematized\u00a0in broader visual culture, reshaping artists\u2019 understanding of materiality, technology, and the act of painting itself.<\/p>\n

The works on view exemplify\u00a0multi-layered labor: the artist\u2019s thought and toil accumulate like geological strata. On the canvas surface,\u00a0diachronic and synchronic traces\u00a0flicker in dialogue, weaving a vision of existence. Painting thus reveals the\u00a0fragility of being\u2014a struggle to reclaim unity amid contradiction and fragmentation.<\/p>\n

Artists working with\u00a0multi-layered processes\u00a0begin by extensively\u00a0sampling\u00a0from the visual world, drawing from wildly diverse sources: natural phenomena, ancient texts, engravings, mass media, art historical images, street graffiti, smartphone snapshots, and more. They patiently construct\u00a0bridges\u00a0between images, styles, and personal experience, while allowing private narratives to resonate universally\u2014as both provocation and critique.<\/p>\n

To achieve\u00a0embodied effects\u00a0with these heterogeneous materials, artists must\u00a0mediate\u00a0along two key axes:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Negotiating between new technologies and historical art, ensuring that painting remains\u00a0open yet perceptually stable, forging new languages through technical synthesis.<\/li>\n
  2. Reconciling technology with artistic agency, metabolizing external tools like bees transforming nectar into honey\u2014continually internalizing and reinventing techniques to expand their expressive toolkit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thus,\u00a0mediation\u00a0becomes an act of\u00a0self-orientation within history, a necessary coupling of the artist\u2019s complexity with technological systems.<\/p>\n

    Layer Study<\/i><\/em>\u00a0offers a framework for analyzing the\u00a0impulse to enactive. Through actions\u2014covering, revealing, quoting, distorting, brushing, outlining, engraving, interrupting, splashing, modeling, collaging, burning\u2014the creator\u2019s instinct sparks flashes of insight in the fog of time.<\/p>\n
