标题取自博尔赫斯《棋》。诗里讲：棋子不知自身的命运，因为是棋手在摆布，而棋手的命运亦另有主宰。那么，主宰的主宰呢？——可怜的诗人直直追问。对于画家，作品原初的基底就仿佛是待落子的棋盘，只不过，当作品宣告完成，观者其实不知那黑夜与白天之间进行的棋局是怎样的自我博弈，甚至无法了解最终时刻的投子、平手或者胜利是依着什么规则而判定的。于是，画面与观者、画家与观者之间的博弈势在必行。
本次展览而言，会看见草木生长、人影幢幢，这些是室内外独处和群居的侧写；还将见识天象星际、蜃楼异境，这些偏离了日常，但或许抒发了情绪，得以一窥隐秘的心理。如此，整个展览更是一局莫测的棋，在展览与作品、作品与作品之间。然而，没有博弈的棋并不成立，正如没有读者的诗不会流传，给成为观者的你，带来另一番黑夜与白天。
The title of this exhibition stole from Jorge Luis Borges’Chess, in which it concerned about the fate of chesses since they didn’t know actually they were ruled by the players, however, the fate of players also were ruled by God. Then, what about the fate of God?-- the pitiful poet kept on questioning. For a painter, the original base of a work is a board to be played chesses upon. Nevertheless, when being claimed that the work is finished, the spectator in fact doesn’t know whatever game has been played within the painter’s mind and soul during those nights and days, let alone the very moments being judged as a losing, a draw, or a winning. Therefore, the game among the painting and the spectator, the painter and the spectator seems to be imperative to start also.
In the exhibition, people will see potted plants growing and imageries of men appearing here and there in the works, which might be the profiles of human lives either staying alone or getting together in company; likewise, people shall notice the celestial phenomena and the novel, bizzare and even perverted images are presented within those frames, the expression of which deviate from the surface of daily life, yet maybe alluding the hidden psyche as a cathartic experience. From the perspective stated above, now this exhibition looks like a chess game more, which is being played among the exhibition and the works, one work and another. But, a chess game won’t start without rules to be complied with, just as a piece of poem won’t last without a reader passing it down, and you are invited to become a spectator of this show bringing with your nights and days, your own rules of seeing.
