Rich Art Gallery will present Layered Memories, a two-person exhibition running from September 27 to November 2, 2025, featuring emerging Taiwanese artists Yan Jheng-Hao and Yen Tzu-Yun. Through a “dual perspective,” the exhibition unfolds a dialogue on emotion, memory, and time, exploring how the two artists respond to the fluidity of life—between self and other, the everyday and remembrance, intimacy and distance.

The title Layered Memories points to the core of the exhibition: memory is never singular or static, but rather a dynamic process in which emotions, experiences, time, and the body are constantly layered, reassembled, and reimagined. This idea resonates with the practices of both artists—Yan Jheng-Hao constructs dynamic narratives through ambiguous landscapes and youthful figures, while Yen Tzu-Yun captures intimate echoes with tender brushwork. Their works intersect between the “macro extension of memory” and the “micro touch of emotion,” generating a tension of intensity and softness, movement and stillness, to create a dialogue space of depth and resonance.

Viewers are invited to navigate between these two emotional registers: on one hand, immersing in the fluid energy of youth and desire, and on the other, sensing the warm light and shadows of intimate relationships. In doing so, they reflect not only on the intertwined narratives of time, memory, and the body, but also on inner attachments. Layered Memories highlights the distinct practices of both artists while guiding audiences to reconsider the reverberations and extensions of the self, the other, and fleeting moments of life.
