《無題》，為薛保瑕1991年石版畫作品，金屬平版，版次3/10。作品是作者長期關切抽象藝術的思維轉折與美學落點，也是心中一塊淨土。認為抽象藝術並不與當代的語言系統脫離，歷史建構的認知體系應與現實的情境相互對照，再產生出延展的新意。1980年代晚期的「無題」繪畫系列，屏棄形象的再現，使觀者透過凝視畫面擴散出的空間感受，映照時間和身體性所創造的場域，穿梭之間，探究當代抽象藝術與當下的更多可能。版次、名稱、簽名、年代：3/10。無題Untitled。Ava Hsueh。1991。
Untitled is a lithograph created by Ava Hsueh in 1991 (metal plate, edition 3/10). The work reflects a pivotal shift in her ongoing investigation of abstract art and aesthetics, serving as a sanctuary of inner quietude. Hsueh contends that abstract art is never detached from contemporary discourse; rather, historically constructed knowledge systems must continually intersect with real-world contexts to generate expanding meanings. Originating in the late 1980s, her “Untitled” series rejects representational imagery, inviting viewers to engage with the expansive space emanating from the canvas. This spatial field mirrors the intersections of temporality and embodiment, encouraging viewers to traverse these painterly realms and explore new possibilities for contemporary abstraction within the present moment.
