The Winsing Art Place recently exhibited the "Green, Yellow and Pink" and "Untitled" series by British artist Ann Veronica Janssens, both of which are part of RC's art collection. Below, the host of RC Venture Philanthropy shares his experience and thoughts on collecting these works.
What was the opportunity or occasion that led to encountering the works of Ann Veronica Janssens (hereafter referred to as AVJ)?
RC: "The first time I encountered AVJ's work was at the 2019 FIAC (Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain, Whatz Art Fair) in Paris. I saw a water tank displayed like a jewelry box and wondered why it was empty, just like Pierre Huyghe's aquarium. What is it? What concept does it try to represent? So I wanted to do more research and figure it out."
"I am interested in things that will disappear but not to capture them. On the contrary, it is to experiment with those things that can not be captured." - AJV.
Why did you want to collect the work "Green, Yellow and Pink" at that time? Can you share with us the feelings you experienced when encountering the work?
RC: "I became interested in the concept of this work, so I learned about the artist through the gallery. When I first entered, there seemed to be no direction. Her work is not something that you need a professional background in art to appreciate, and it's interactive. Moreover, as you grow up or gain experience, your feelings when you enter will be different. This kind of interaction is impressive."

What was the reason for deciding to collect the "Untitled" work?
RC: "This thing is strange and interesting. However, if you look closely, you will see its relationship with the outside and reflect on the relationship outside, then it becomes interesting, and that's very AVJ-like."
What do you think is different about AVJ compared to other artists, and what prompted you to collect her work?
RC: "I think it's about time and space...from three-dimensional to four-dimensional, everyone's feeling is different, and her works interact with the soul, with the perception, which is something other works cannot achieve."

How is AVJ's artwork related to your life?
RC: "When I reflect on it, I think about how the 'real world' is different from the 'world you enter.' Of course, it depends on each person's mood or current situation, and your perception may differ. But you will feel that they are completely two different worlds."
On the path of art collecting, could you share with us your experience and advise young collectors?
RC: "I believe that good artworks should be experienced by more people. Collecting art is like the path we walk in life. On the path of collecting, you hope that the environment and scenery are different, so you have to explore many possibilities. I hope this concept can bring more Taiwanese collectors or stimulate new ideas and concepts."
