ADVANCED NOMADS - EXHIBITION IN TAIPEI

ADVANCED NOMADS - 義遊未竟

BENI CHU - STEFANO MISESTI - PAOLO RUI

October 17 – November 29, 2026

​

Through the paths of life and artistic practice, three artists (Beni Chu, Stefano Misesti, and Paolo Rui) move between Taiwan and Italy, traveling, staying, living, and continuing to create along the way.

Like migratory birds following the changing seasons, they cross more than geographical boundaries. Moving between different cultures, languages, and lived experiences, they continuously shift and reshape the ways in which they see and interpret the world.

This “nomadic life” is not simply about coming and going. Rather, it is an evolving state of being. Each departure, each stay, and each return brings new landscapes, memories, and cultural encounters into their creative practice, while allowing familiar places to be seen again from new perspectives.

三位藝術家 Beni Chu 朱耀紅、Stefano Misesti 與 Paolo Rui，因生活與創作的軌跡，在台灣與義大利之間往返、停留、生活，也持續創作。

如同候鳥隨著季節遷徙，他們跨越的不只是地理上的距離，更是在不同文化、語言與生活經驗之間，不斷轉換觀看世界的方式。

而這樣的「候鳥生活」並非單純的來去，而是一種持續進化的生命狀態——每一次出發、停留與返回，都將新的風景、記憶與文化帶進創作，也讓原本熟悉的地方產生新的觀看方式。

「義遊」，既是一段與義大利相關的旅程，也是一場遊走於台灣與義大利之間的文化漫遊；「未竟」，則意味著旅程尚未抵達終點。

因為仍在路上，所以故事還在發生；
因為意猶未盡，所以總讓人想一去再去。

義遊未竟，未完待續。

TWO SOULS, ONE LANGUAGE

Italian comics between popular serial storytelling and authorial vision

Italian comics are a rich and surprising language, capable of combining wide popular appeal with personal artistic research. 

The audience is guided on a journey through fifty years of Italian comics, highlighting the dialogue between two fundamental souls: popular serial storytelling and author-driven creation.

Through iconic characters and visually powerful works, the talk explores how Italian comics have addressed themes such as adventure, fear, identity, memory, and imagination, creating collective myths on the one hand and deeply personal visions on the other. 

These two paths, seemingly distant, have in fact influenced each other over time, giving rise to a complex, vibrant, and constantly evolving narrative language.

DUE ANIME, UN LINGUAGGIO

Il fumetto italiano tra serialità popolare e visione d’autore

Il fumetto italiano è un linguaggio ricco e sorprendente, capace di coniugare grande successo popolare e ricerca artistica personale.

Il pubblico viene accompagnato in un viaggio attraverso cinquant’anni di fumetto italiano, mettendo in luce il dialogo tra due anime fondamentali: quella della serialità popolare e quella del fumetto d’autore.

Attraverso personaggi iconici e opere di forte impatto visivo, l’incontro mostra come il fumetto italiano abbia saputo raccontare avventura, paura, identità, memoria e immaginazione, costruendo da un lato miti collettivi e dall’altro visioni profondamente personali. 

Due percorsi apparentemente distanti che, nel tempo, si sono influenzati a vicenda, dando vita a un linguaggio narrativo complesso, vivo e in continua evoluzione.

參展藝術家

朱耀紅 Beni Chu

朱米傑 Stefano Misesti

朱韋恩 Ivan Misesti

本展覽由三位風格各異、卻同屬一個家庭的藝術家共同呈現。他們以自然為核心，融合生態意識、個人經驗與想像力交織出的世界觀，構築跨世代共享的生活哲學：叢林裡的荒廢遊樂園、生物與物件混合組成的幽默想像、或是森林裡紅綠交錯的婚禮意象，皆指向對自然的深刻體悟與再詮釋。

森林的異境 既是一個家庭生活信念的延伸，也是一種對世界的溫柔思考。在虛擬與記憶、荒誕與真實、自然與創造之間，他們以藝術回應自然，並以生活實踐理想—— 簡約、尊重自然，相信創造與修復的力量。

誠摯邀請您走入這片由一家人共同築起的異境，在想像力與自然感知交織的旅程中，看見自然的更多可能，並找到屬於自己的自然敘事。

This exhibition brings together three artists from the same family, each with a distinct style yet a shared grounding in nature. Blending ecological awareness, personal experience, and imagination, their works range from abandoned playgrounds to hybrid creatures and forest-like wedding scenes.

The exhibition reflects their family philosophy—simplicity, respect for nature, and a belief in the power of creation. We sincerely invite you to step into this crafted realm, where imagination meets ecological sensibility.

GEORGE HOUSE

No. 3, Lane 75, Yongkang St, Da’an District, Taipei City, 106

Opening day:

SAT 6 DEC - 3.00 PM

This exhibition is presented by three artists—remarkably, they are not only family but also co-creators.

Each artist has a distinct style, yet they share a common creative foundation: nature, ecological awareness, and a worldview woven from imagination and personal experience. 

Their familial bond adds a sense of intergenerational connection and continuity of life philosophy to the exhibition. 

Forest Wonderland is a journey of natural imagination across two generations: from the ruins of playgrounds, to humorous hybrids of objects and species, to the role-playing of modern women beneath the red-and-green imagery of the forest. 

Their creations arise from a profound understanding and reinterpretation of “nature,” which they believe to be both a way of life and a mode of thought. 

This exhibition reveals how a family constructs worlds and characters in their own artistic languages, weaving together fiction, playful transformations, and poetic memory to form a deep response to nature. It is not merely an art exhibition, but an extension of a family’s life philosophy—a gentle reflection offered to the world. 

Through art, they respond to nature; through family life, they practice ideals of simplicity, respect for nature, and faith in the power of creation and restoration.

TRACES OF LIGHT AND SHADOW- EXHIBITION AT REGENT GALLERIA (TAIPEI)

 STEFANO MISESTI & BENI CHU AT REGENT GALLERIA (TAIPEI)

TRACES OF LIGHT AND SHADOW

12 NOV - 30 DEC 2024

 No. 3號, B2,Lane 39, Section 2, Zhongshan N Rd, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan

「光與影的痕跡 」探索了光與影的相互影響，隱喻了生命中的對比力量，如喜悅與悲傷、清晰與神秘、存在與不存在。 光影本質上是交織在一起的，一個定義了另一個。 繪畫展示了光線如何揭示或遮蔽細節，引導觀者探索被照亮和被隱藏的事物。 光和影扭曲、強化，甚至重新定義物體的形狀和本質。 陰影確實可以製造幻象，投射出的形狀會變成與實際物體完全不同的東西。 現實與感知可能會出現偏差，我們所看到的可能暗示著某些隱藏的東西，甚至是另一種身份。 "Traces of Light and Shadow," explores the interplay of light and shadow as metaphors for contrasting forces in life—such as joy and sorrow, clarity and mystery, presence and absence. Shadow and light are inherently intertwined, one defining the other. The paintings show how light unveils or obscures details, guiding the viewer to explore both what's illuminated and what's concealed. Light and shadow distort, enhance, or even redefine the shapes and essence of objects. Shadows can indeed create illusions, where the cast shape becomes something entirely different from the actual object. Reality and perception can diverge—that what we see may hint at something hidden, or even at an alternate identity.

潛義式夢境是一個充滿象徵意義的夢境世界，每個元素都代表著特定的情感、概念或故事情節。
夢境裡有似曾相識的光譜，不合邏輯的敘事，與參雜著五顏六色的氣味。
義式型態是經過文藝洗禮下，呈現出由時間淬鍊出的文化厚度與人文精髓，是一種折服於自然的謙卑理念。奠定在這些基礎上，漫不經心的義式詼諧，看似隨性卻又嚴謹，說穿了就是一種面對生活的態度，在簡樸實在的價值觀下，醞釀出精湛獨特的藝文風格。
潛義式夢境是將潛藏在內心深處的這種簡單與純粹浮現於夢境般的創作中，創作的內容可以是生活經驗裡的感知、情感、想法和圖像的記錄，有時候是與時間和現實扭曲後轉變成的不合常理邏輯的內容。
這是處於現實和夢境之間的模糊邊界，因此具有慵懶的力度和漂浮不定的重力，分不清是清醒時的潛意識表露，抑或是甦醒後的夢境延續，如此神秘奇幻，卻又洞悉碰觸自己的內心，在你我心裡激盪起依稀彷彿的漣漪，與回味無窮的興味。

漫画-義大利製造 (MANGA MADE IN ITALY) 展覽 - TIBE, TAIWAN

漫画-義大利製造 (MANGA MADE IN ITALY) 展覽

義大利拿坡里國際漫畫展（COMICON）跨海來台展出，就在2021年

台北國際書展

！

「義大利漫画 (Manga)」 登陸亞洲！

70年代開始，日本漫畫大量傳播，其強烈風格對於義大利出版社的影響與日俱增。『漫画 - 義大利製造』展覽於2020年10月拿坡里基金會的藝術廣場首次亮相，展示深受日本漫畫啟發而誕生的義大利在地漫畫。由義大利拿坡里國際漫畫展(COMICON)、義大利經濟貿易文化推廣辦事處共同策劃，本次台北展出共精選十件代表作，突顯東西方漫畫交流的趣味內涵。

千禧世代所帶來的世代交替、以及日本漫畫在全球市場的影響力，日漫視覺力造就近十年來「義大利MANGA」前所未有的成長。八○年代初，某些義大利創作者重新詮釋知名的《小甜甜》、《無敵鐵金剛》和其他英雄題材的動畫作品，義大利也在「歐洲漫画」（Euromanga，以日本漫畫風格創作的歐洲漫畫）中逐漸建立品牌，與法國和德國並列。

『漫画 - 義大利製造』展覽可一窺「歐洲漫画」中原汁原味的義大利繪畫語言。展覽作品從克萊迪歐·阿恰里（Claudio Acciari）、賈科莫．貝維拉夸（Giacomo Bevilacqua）、琳達·卡瓦利尼（Linda Cavallini）、艾瑪努埃雷·塔德里尼（Emanuele Tenderini）、洛倫索·倫茲·切科蒂（Lorenzo ‘LRNZ’ Ceccotti）、潔西卡·羅普汀·喬菲（Jessica 'Loputyn' Cioffi）、維琴佐·菲洛薩（Vincenzo Filosa）、尼古拉·祖羅（Nicola Zurlo）、菲奧雷·曼尼（Fiore Manni）、米開雷·蒙特蕾歐內（Michele Monteleone）、菈里雅·卡踏蘭妮（Ilaria Catalani）、亞麗山德菈·帕塔內 (Alessandra Patané) 、阿隆索·羅哈斯（Alonso Rojas）、辛·達露斗（Shin Darudo）、法布里佐·弗朗卡托（Fabrizio Francato）到丹妮爾·魯多尼（Daniele Rudoni），漫畫家們都自由混搭義式創意和日本文化，展現義大利次文化一路反向邁向國際舞台的軌跡。

MANGA MADE IN ITALY

la mostra di COMICON vola a Taipei per il TIBE 2021

Il manga italiano sbarca in Asia! In occasione del TIBE Taipei International Book Exhibition di Taiwan - tra le quattro fiere del libro più vaste al mondo, in programma dal 26 al 31 gennaio 2021 - COMICON e l’Ufficio di rappresentanza italiana a Taipei, presentano la mostra Manga Made in Italy. La mostra, esposta per la prima volta a ottobre presso la Corte dell’Arte della Fondazione Foqus di Napoli, presenta per la prima volta una fotografia della vivace produzione made in Italy di fumetti fortemente ispirati ai manga, una presenza crescente nel nostro panorama editoriale a partire dagli anni Settanta, stimolata dall’invasione dei cartoni animati giapponesi.

Dieci le opere selezionate che rappresentano alcune fra le più iconiche esperienze manga italiane pubblicate negli anni Duemiladieci: Golem, Lumina, Gotho Namite e Greedy Flower; affascinanti o energetici manga d’autore quali Cosma & Mito, Cotton Tales, Meka Chan; le visioni tra presente e futuro di Attica; oltre alle più recenti novità come Mask'd e King of Balls.

Manga made in Italy è un’occasione per esplorare la ricchezza di linguaggi del disegno che gli autori di manga italiani stanno offrendo al panorama euromanga. Claudio Acciari, Giacomo ‘Keison’ Bevilacqua, Linda Cavallini e Emanuele Tenderini, Lorenzo ‘LRNZ’ Ceccotti, Jessica ‘Loputyn’ Cioffi, Vincenzo Filosa e Nicola Zurlo, Fiore Manni, Michele Monteleone e Ilaria Catalani, Alessandra ‘Alyah’ Patanè, Alonso Rojas, ‘Shin Darudo’ (Fabrizio Francato e Daniele Rudoni): autrici e autori il cui tratto oscilla tra libertà “fusion” e adesione agli stilemi nipponici, seguendo le più diverse inclinazioni e sensibilità sia italiane che nippofile.

Figli di un ricambio generazionale portato da autori ‘millennials’, dell’influenza pervasiva della cultura visiva nipponica, e della costante leadership dei manga nel mercato globale del fumetto, negli ultimi dieci anni i manga italiani sono aumentati come mai era accaduto in passato. Dopo gli anni pionieristici degli “spaghetti manga” - talvolta apocrifi – con cui alcuni autori italiani, nei primi anni Ottanta, avevano re-interpretato le storie di Candy Candy, Mazinga o altri eroi delle serie animate, anche l’Italia ha sviluppato un ruolo all’interno del più ampio fenomeno “euromanga” (parola che indica i fumetti creati in Europa nello stile dei manga giapponesi), accanto a Francia e Germania.

Il manga made in Italy si affaccia così al nuovo decennio con l’energia di una sottile rivoluzione culturale. E promette di traghettare la tradizione del fumetto italiano verso nuove traiettorie del fumetto internazionale, seguendo all’inverso le piste della fortuna dei manga nel mondo occidentale.
