本次個展「日子像灰塵」(Granular Days) 聚焦於陳肇彤對當代雕塑物質性的系統化研究。在技術追求效能與無痕生成的環境中，陳肇彤選擇回歸「物質堆疊」的本質討論。他將「灰塵」視為時間積累的物理證明，透過白水泥、不鏽鋼與矽膠等材質的交互實驗，將隱形的時間跨度轉譯為具備厚度與質量的空間實體。
陳肇彤的創作體系建立於嚴謹的空間邏輯，承襲拓樸學觀點，將形體視為本質，並透過異質材質的對比測試知覺反應。其運用「畫素化」技法提取建築縫隙為空間單位，在翻製過程中保留微小位移與手作痕跡，使工業規格產生不可複製的物質性。其作品具備「連貫的句法性」，雕塑並非孤立物件，而是參與現地環境的連續元素，透過與場域的交互對位構成知覺空間，使觀者的身體經驗介入物質結構的閱讀，在精確的轉譯中顯影存在的質感。
陳肇彤近年相繼獲得高雄獎優選、台南新藝獎，並於2025年獲得台新藝術獎提名。本次個展不僅標誌著其從「空間投影」轉向「微觀質地」的論述深化，亦展現了他在異材質掌控與句法建構上的成熟度。在當代雕塑語彙中，其精確的物質處理能力與完整的學術脈絡，使其創作發展具備了清晰且穩定的觀察價值。

In an era where technology prioritizes seamless efficiency and algorithmic generation, Chen Chao-Tung returns to the fundamental weight of material accumulation. Granular Days presents a systematic investigation into the materiality of contemporary sculpture, treating physical matter as a ledger of time. Using "dust" as a metaphor for temporal accretion, Chen orchestrates an experimental interplay between white cement, stainless steel, and silicone, translating invisible spans of time into spatial entities defined by thickness, mass, and presence.
Chen’s creative system is rooted in a rigorous spatial logic, adopting a topological perspective that views the "surface" as an essential frontier. He employs a "pixelation" technique to extract and reinterpret architectural crevices, preserving the raw traces of labor and handcraft within the casting process. In doing so, he imbues rigid industrial specifications with unique, non-reproducible human characteristics.
These works are not isolated objects; they function as continuous elements that engage deeply with their site-specific environments. Together, they construct a perceptual field where the viewer’s presence intervenes in the reading of the material. Through this precise pixelation, Chen reveals the hidden "texture of existence."
In recent years, Chen Chao-Tung’s practice has gained significant critical acclaim, including an Honorable Mention at the Kaohsiung Awards, winning the Next Art Tainan award, and receiving a nomination for the Taishin Arts Award in 2025. This solo exhibition marks a profound shift in his discourse—a pivot from spatial projection toward a focused study of surface pixelation. Within the landscape of contemporary sculpture, Chen’s masterful material handling and comprehensive academic framework offer a clear, stable vantage point from which to observe the evolution of form.
