王楚丹

Dorji Wangchuk

1980年出生於不丹‧孟加爾，自學藝術；虔誠的佛教信仰培養出我們獨特的處世哲學：「佛學即哲學、哲學即藝術、藝術即生活！」有別於傳統唐卡藝術，我的作品多以油彩、丙烯顏料和複合媒材創作，探討著自然元素與心靈之間的對話，希望藉由畫作傳遞不丹文化和分享善知識的淨心力量。

不丹沙棘薰衣草茶
尺寸：40＊60cm
年代;2025
材質;A

《漂浮的茶境》是我以畫筆捕捉茶香的創作計畫。我不畫茶具，而是讓香氣幻化為顏色的流動，在畫布上浮動、盤旋，成為看不見卻能感受的氣息。

我以茶代酒，以畫會友。邀請你們走進這片寧靜的畫境，感受我和茶與心靈之間的香韻共振。

Floating Tea Realms is my attempt to capture the essence of tea through painting. I do not depict teapots or leaves, but rather allow the fragrance to transform into flowing color—drifting, circling on the canvas, forming a presence that is unseen yet deeply felt.

With tea instead of wine, and painting instead of words, I offer friendship. I invite you to step into this quiet realm of painted fragrance, and feel the resonance that exists between tea and the soul.

善與惡
Kind and Evil

尺寸：40 x 60公分年份：2019
複合媒材composite media 作品說明：畫作中的黑帽舞（black hat dance）是不丹和喜馬拉雅藏金剛乘佛教信仰中最重要的藏族跳神儀式（Cham dance）之一，是一種具有深刻宗教意涵的儀式，源起與西藏八世紀末代贊普朗達瑪滅佛的故事。每一個旋轉都代表善與惡之間的循環，就像我們在善和惡之間的選擇，一念天堂，一念地獄。

The black hat dance in the painting is one of the most important Tibetan Cham dances in Vajrayana Buddhism in Bhutan and the Himalayas. It is a ritual with profound religious meanings and originated in Tibet. The story of Zampulang Dama’s extermination of the Buddha in the late eighth century.

Each rotation represents a cycle between good and evil, just like our choice between good and evil, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

能量旋律 (Energy Symphony ) 233x91cm (2panels)/2024/Acrylic on Canvas

能量旋律 我的靈感來自NASA的太空探索影片，NASA開發了一種工具可以捕捉宇宙的聲音，這些聲音我們平常無法聽到，透過特殊的音頻可以調整成可聽見的頻率，於是我將宇宙之音化為視覺化，創作了這個系列作品《能量交響曲》。結合傳統的不丹祈禱文和宇宙的原始聲音“OM”。
OM是佛教中許多咒語的一部分，象徵著完整、完美和無限。這個強大的佛教咒語，被認為能將負能量轉化為正能量，畫作中的珍珠象徵著OM咒語，我作為藝術家將其獻給宇宙，畫中的三顆水晶象徵著身、語、意。希望每位觀眾看見這作品時能與宇宙能量連接，治癒自己。

Energy Symphony My inspiration comes from NASA’s space exploration videos. NASA has developed a tool that can capture the sounds of the universe, sounds that we usually cannot hear. Through special audio adjustments, these sounds can be converted to audible frequencies. Thus, I transformed the sounds of the universe into visual form, creating this series of works titled “Energy Symphony."

Combining traditional Bhutanese prayers with the primordial sound of the universe, OM, which is a part of many mantras in Buddhism, symbolizing wholeness, perfection, and infinity. This powerful Buddhist mantra is believed to transform negative energy into positive. The pearl in the painting symbolizes the OM mantra, which I, as an artist, offer to the universe. The three crystals in the painting represent body, speech, and mind. I hope that every viewer who sees this work can connect with the energy of the universe and heal themselves.

I was born in Mongar, Bhutan and learn art by myself. Buddhism raised our unique philosophy for life: Buddhism is philosophy; philosophy is art; art is life. Different from traditional Thangka, I use mainly oil paints, acrylics and mixed media for my works, exploring the dialogue between natural elements and mind. Through paintings, I hope to convey Bhutanese culture and the power of pure heart to share Kindness.

自2010年起陸續於歐洲、亞洲等十餘國參展，作品幸運的獲聯合國教科文組織巴黎總部、南亞聯盟和多國藏家典藏。2012年首度來台灣台南舉辦個展結下與台灣的緣份，透過到各地的藝術駐村計畫，讓自己與當地做連結，找尋創作靈感，並在各地的駐村生活中豐富我的靈魂；希望透過藝術的表現，創造出藝術的無限可能。

Since 2010, My art works have been exhibited in many countries in Europe and Asia and luckily many of them been collected in the headquarter of UNESCO in Paris, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and also by many art collectors worldwide.

In 2012, for the first time, I came to Tainan, Taiwan to have my Solo exhibition, and from that moment started my deep relation with Taiwan. Through art residence projects, I tried to find my relation with each place and search for inspiration. Through life in different places of art residency, I found my soul was enriched. Through the presentation of art, I want to explore and create the unlimited possibilities.

感謝佛菩薩的祝福與支持我的親友們，讓我盡情在對於藝術的探索，讓我踏上無畏的旅程，在藝術中與您相遇！

I feel grateful that with both the blessings from Buddha and support from my family and friends, I can devote myself in art exploration and step on the journey unafraid. Looking forward to meeting you in art world.
