2024年台北國際藝術博覽會阿波羅畫廊的展位將以「大家族」的概念，結合九位不同世代及不同文化面孔的成員，時而互相影響，時而各自表現，呈現世代同堂，但不同表象的微型世界。其中包括七位臺灣，一位德國及一位斯洛伐克藝術家。作品透過不同的媒材，來闡述自我認知、文化差異，表現時代及世代的面貌。運用媒材包括油彩、壓克⼒顏料、天然漆、油性粉彩、水墨、螢光漆等，以及木雕。
臺灣現代繪畫先驅江漢東(1929-2009)是這個「大家族」的祖先。他以出生地方傳說及傳統節慶為主題，藉用細膩線條切割出人體及建築體，加上鮮豔色彩及飽滿豐富的構圖，烘托出具現代感的民俗風味，獨樹一格，影響後世。
劉耿一(1938-)的大型油彩及粉彩作品張力十足，是他對現實無以妥協的回應，色彩及主題照徹自已渴望平靜、愛與自由的同時，散發出的憂愁及孤獨感。寫實派畫家和教育家冉茂芹(1942-)深受列賓學派的影響，筆觸純熟精練，作品展現出鮮活生動的寫實功力。尤其是肖像畫作，容貌入微、神情逼真，是許多繪畫學習者的資深典範。戴壁吟(1946-)在西班牙擁有多年的學習及生活經驗。回台後，他學習傳統製紙，並在手製紙上呈現抽象表現風格的畫面，創造出超越平面繪畫技巧的特殊肌理效果。戴壁吟的作品深受黃秋月的青睞。黃秋月(1965-)同樣以抽象表現風格來創作，並在傳統與現代、東方與西方、理性與感性之間，彰顯獨特的個人風格。
林祐如(1985-)屬於這「大家族」的新生代，她透過漆藝的特殊質感及熟練的技法，來呈現微觀及宏觀的世界。黃至正(1988-)藉由嶄新的AI技術，產生主題、編列出構圖，並熟練的在壯紙表面鋪上金屬箔材，手工上色及線條勾勒，完成一幅幅獨具特色的平面創作。
德國藝術家Uwe Mertsch(1962-)是這個「大家族」的第一位外籍成員。他秉著「極簡、單純即是美」的理念，創作出一系列普普藝術風格的平面繪畫及手感十足的立體木雕作品。第二位外籍成員則是出生於斯洛伐克的女藝術家加布里埃拉 · 梅德韋多瓦Gabriela Medvedova (1965-)。她的創作掌握了透明性、光線、形狀、材料和顏色，透過線條及色彩的構圖，呈現出光的現象。
以上九位不同世代及文化背景的藝術家們，在阿波羅畫廊的展區中，以創意表現、多元媒材呈現出「世代表象」。

At the 2024 Taipei International Art Fair, Apollo Art Gallery’s booth will revolve around the concept of a “Big Family,” blending members from nine different generations and cultural backgrounds. These artists, sometimes interacting with one another and sometimes standing apart, present a miniature world where multiple generations coexist with distinct expressions. The lineup includes seven artists from Taiwan, one from Germany, and one from Slovakia. Through diverse mediums, the works reflect self-awareness, cultural differences, and the faces of the times and generations. The materials used include oil paint, acrylic, natural lacquer, oil pastels, ink, fluorescent paint, and wood carving. Han-Tung CHIANG (1929–2009), a pioneer of modern Taiwanese painting, serves as the “ancestor” of this big family. His works depict local folklore and traditional festivals, with delicate lines dividing human figures and architectural structures. Bold colors and vibrant compositions evoke a modern sense of folklore, leaving a lasting influence on future generations.
Keng-I LIU (1938–) delivers tension-filled large-scale oil and pastel works, embodying his uncompromising response to reality. His pieces reflect his yearning for peace, love, and freedom, while also conveying sorrow and loneliness. YIM Mau-Kun (1942–), a realist painter and educator influenced by the Russian Repin School, displays masterful brushwork and vibrant realism. His portrait paintings, with their lifelike appearances and authentic emotions, serve as a model for many art learners. Bih-In DAI (1946–) studied and lived in Spain for years. After returning to Taiwan, he explored traditional papermaking, incorporating abstract expressionism into handmade paper to create unique textures that transcend conventional painting techniques. His work has drawn the admiration of Chiou-Yue HUANG (1965–), who also works in abstract expressionism. Huang's art bridges tradition and modernity, East and West, rationality and emotion, forming a distinctive personal style.
Yu-Ju LIN (1985–), a new-generation artist in this family, uses the unique textures of lacquer art and skilled craftsmanship to depict both microscopic and macroscopic worlds. Chih-Cheng HUANG (1988–) employs cutting-edge AI technology to generate themes and compositions. He then skillfully applies metal foil and hand-paints on rice paper, creating distinctive flat works. Uwe Mertsch (1962–), the first foreign member of the family from Germany, embraces the philosophy of “simplicity is beauty.” His work includes Pop Art-inspired paintings and tactile wooden sculptures.
The second foreign member, Gabriela Medvedova (1965–) from Slovakia, explores transparency, light, shape, material, and color. Through lines and colors, she captures the phenomenon of light in her compositions. These nine artists, representing various generations and cultural backgrounds, use creative expression and diverse media to present Generational Manifestations at Apollo Art Gallery’s booth.
