Gerry Welch 夢幻袖珍娃娃屋展
本展呈現英國藝術家杰瑞·韋奇（Gerry Welch）的微型建築實踐。杰瑞成長於英格蘭西南部，其創作起點深受當地數百年歷史的橡木都鐸式建築與鄉間小屋所啟發。他將記憶中的英倫地景與空間敘事，精準濃縮於 1:12 的微觀尺度中，每一座微型房屋與精緻家具皆是無法複製、獻給無拘想像力的獨立紀念碑。
相較於強調理性客觀的傳統建築模型，杰瑞的作品打破了既定設計的藍圖框架，使微縮空間更像是一種情感與時間的容器，讓歷史、創意與想像力在此和諧共存。他將理性思維、雙手技藝與心靈感知融為一體，使每個微小細節都傾注了個人的靈魂與熱情。其作品跨越了地域與階級的觀看界線，體現了純粹的藝術創作自由，在西方已獲得從大眾到頂級收藏家的廣泛共鳴。繼首次於中原大學藝術中心展出後，杰瑞帶著對中壢這片土地的深厚熱愛與連結再次回歸，在東西方美學之間鋪陳出一場跨文化的私密對話，邀請觀者透過視角的極致轉換，凝視指尖之上的匠心本質與微縮世界的驚奇力量。
Fantasy Dolls House by British artist, Gerry Welch
This exhibition presents the miniature architectural practices of British artist Gerry Welch. Growing up in the West Country of England, Gerry draws his core inspiration from the centuries-old, oak-framed Tudor houses and rural cottages that surrounded his childhood. Translating the living memory of the British landscape into a precise 1:12 scale, he shapes miniature structures and furniture that stand as entirely unique, non-replicable monuments to unconstrained imagination.
Rather than adhering to the rigid blueprints of conventional design, Gerry’s miniature spaces function as intimate vessels where history, creativity, and emotion coexist. By seamlessly blending hands, mind, and heart, he infuses every intricate detail with a fragment of his own creative soul. His work transcends boundaries of class and geography, celebrating ultimate artistic freedom and inspiring a deep sense of wonder in collectors ranging from modest enthusiasts to millionaires. Following his first showcase at the CYCU Art Center, Gerry returns out of a profound affection for Zhongli, establishing a cross-cultural dialogue that invites viewers to shift their perspectives and contemplate the pure essence of craftsmanship and the poetic power of miniature worlds.
