“Spirit”有著靈魂與烈酒之意,畫家們將自己的靈魂灌注在畫布上,如同那一杯杯看似平凡卻蘊含了創作者無限想像的調酒。或許每個人來酒吧的目的不盡相同,不過我們的初衷卻很明確,就是希望所有來過Gallery 20.5的人,離開時能帶走那一份屬於你的「Spirit」!
Light & Dark 為我們本期酒單的主軸,雖然看似兩種極端不同的展現,但在Gallery 20.5 中我們將跳脫世俗的框架,用調酒呈現不同於你想像中的二元論。如同顏色深邃,由馬丁尼杯所盛之酒就一定烈嗎? 唯有身在當下的你才能明白其中的滋味。
或許當你剛踏入Gallery 20.5時會瞬間以為自己置身在畫廊中而非酒吧,然而在Gallery 20.5呈現的每幅藝術品其背後的精神卻與酒有著微妙的共鳴。世界上名留青史的藝術家、文學家背後都有杯激發出他們靈感的酒。他們在不同的情境中創作出來的作品,可能在無意間便成為你我生活中精神上的糧食,時時刻刻的灌溉著我們。
我們也精選了幾幅1920年後的現代畫作以及海報,每一幅都有著不同含意;其中Nighthawks 是我們最喜歡的一幅,反映了一個大城市中的寧靜、孤寂。不論生活中遇到好事或壞事,這裡就是大家一個小小的避風港,在需要我們的時候隨時能為大家的生活加滿燃料!
歡迎大家來到Gallery 20.5
“Spirits” can refer to an eclectic mix of terms – a human soul, a disposition, or even a distilled alcoholic beverage. Like the way artist’s passions are unveiled through paint, the cocktails are bartender’s refection of their own personal expression, inspiration and their stories. Everyone goes to the bar for different purposes. However, we hope that you can leave with a spirit that resonates with you.
For this season, our menu centers around Black-and-white dualism, representing good vs evil and light vs dark. Although light and dark seem to be strikingly opposite, let’s break free from the herd mentality. Do the external appearances and the internal qualities always coincide? Does dark spirit in Martini glass always strong and heavy? The dichotomy between dark vs light, good vs evil is not absolute. Only you can grasp the internal qualities of a spirit.
Gallery and bar are seemingly unrelated. However, both art and spirits have the power to speak to us across time, across cultural moments, and in different moments of crisis and joy and fear and love – in other words, in all that makes us human—and bring us together, which might be the reason why many renowned artists were inspired by spirits.
We are pleased to present a selection of 1920s contemporary paintings and posters. Among all the artworks, Nighthawks is our favorite. It reflects the bitter alienation and silence of living in a large city. Whatever kind of darkness we find ourselves in, whether external or internal, the painting and spirits here may offer the shining beacon of light and hope that we all need at this time.
