柯驎晏的山水作品以「遊」為概念，結合古人的「遊歷」和今人的「遊玩」於一體，辦證古人的休閒娛樂多在自然中遊山玩水、而反觀現代人的娛樂則是沉浸在虛擬世界中，體驗電子遊戲裡世界觀，因此其「山水畫」與「遊戲」扮演著相同的媒介，引領著觀者結合自身的想像力通往異度空間；此外他更關注了許多社會現象如：淨灘、洋流發電等環保議題，露營、觀光等集體意識行為等，柯驎晏善於擷取流行卡漫、電視電影等流行符號於畫作中，鋪陳出另類的當代山水風景面貌。

丹之寶作為喜馬拉雅當代藝術的開拓者，秉持著透過藝術反映出時代的面貌，進而探索並銜接喜馬拉雅當代美學與全球藝術史的脈絡。丹之寶由喜馬拉雅當代藝術的歷史切面中，挖掘出數位不丹當代藝術家：Asha Kama, Gyempo Wangchuk, Zimbiri以及Passang TOBGAY，並與尼泊爾藝術家Hit Man Gurung 、台裔美籍藝術家董承濂等以喜馬拉雅藝術為發想概念的創作者，在世界亞洲藝術的洪流中探求屬於當下深刻且動人的東方章節，藉以孕育喜馬拉雅當代藝術的美學思維。開啟丹之寶以「喜馬拉雅當代」為思考核心，進一步拓展亞洲當代藝術的版圖，同時和多位以「新東方美學」為創作主軸的華人藝術家如李君毅、沈翰、蕭博駿、柯驎晏、羅婕合作，期望透過藝術史的書寫，觀照藝術於時間流變下的願景，建立富含文化底蘊之國際視野。
藝術無法與社會文化脫節，此刻的當下永遠是最好的時代。丹之寶參照時間向度，在傳統與當代之間梳理出獨到的藝術品味與美學觀點，以此做為藝術收藏、推廣之核心，一步步地形塑著喜馬拉雅當代藝術的歷程及面貌。作為形塑喜馬拉雅當代藝術的開拓者之一，如何從傳統文化中汲取養分，開拓出當代藝術的面貌，是丹之寶秉持的理想與堅持，更是對「新東方美學」的責任與使命。
As a pioneer in unveiling Himalaya Contemporary Art, Tansbao Gallery is devoted to reflecting the era through art by exploring and connecting the contemporary aesthetics of the Himalayas with the context of global art history. Tansbao Gallery has come to discover several talented Bhutan contemporary artists such as Asha Kama, Gyempo Wangchuk, Zimbiri and Passang TOBGAY who draw inspiration from Himalayan culture , and we cooperate with Nepalese artist Hit Man Gurung and Taiwanese-American artist Nick Dong as well. Tansbao Gallery seeks to unearth profound philosophies of the East onto the global Asian art scene and aims to nurture such aesthetic concept along the way. With “Himalaya Contemporary Art” as our core focus, Tansbao Gallery also opens up new horizons for contemporary art in Asia by working with several Asian artists who represent the “Neo Oriental Aesthetics” as their core essence of creation such as artists Lee Chun-Yi, Shen Han, Hsiao Po-Chun, Ke Lin-Yen, Lo Chieh. It is our hope that through these remarkable pieces of artwork, we not only capture the fine moments of our time, but also get a glimpse of how the history of art has cultivated under rich cultural influence until this day.
Art is always strongly connected to society and culture. The present moment is always the best epoch. With its unique artistic taste and aesthetic perspective from the tradition to the contemporary, Tansbao Gallery has gradually shaped the silhouette of Himalayan Contemporary Art along this journey. As one of the pioneer galleries introducing Himalayan Contemporary Art to the world, Tansbao Gallery is committed to bring forth aesthetic creations that derive from traditional culture into different representations of contemporary art. Bearing such responsibility and mission in mind, Tansbao Gallery continues our journey to discover more possibilities of the “Neo Oriental Aesthetics”.
