靜思
靜觀的思維,簡單的題材呈現單純的形式之美,與東方的老莊返樸歸真、平易恬淡、生死遞嬗不謀而合,利用單純題材作為創作,契合後現代的藝術思想中的解構、顛覆至高無上的人種及物質化的精神生活。
從自然原有造型出發,細細觀察,除了欣賞美麗的線條和顏色外,更能體悟背後的內涵。自然中的景物原來沒有特別的意義,到了藝術家的手中,強化了象徵的內涵,因而引發今日的我再現景物的風華,意欲將研究的領域拓展「靜」與「思」的複合面向組合,因為我認為藝術本就是生活中的呈現美並非如此遙不可及,在這紛擾忙碌的社會中需要靜觀的思維,簡單的題材呈現單純的形式之美。
Silent Contemplation
Silent Contemplation is a simple title portraying beauty in the purest form. It is a return to the rustic simplicity, plainness and approachability and detachment from life and death advocated by the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zi. A minimalist title was used for the work to match the definition of modern art and to reverse the materialist and human-first philosophies and mental belief.
The work was based on natural forms that already exist. Careful observations would allow us to not only admire the aesthetically pleasing lines and colors. We would also get in touch with the deeper meaning hidden within. Natural sceneries held no special meaning until an artist processes the sight to strengthen any analogies and metaphors. With this, I was inspired to reproduce the essence of sceneries I’ve seen, hopefully to expand a composite integration of “silence” and “contemplation” that I’ve researched on. I believe that art is to portray the beauties in life, and should not be untouchable. We all need to contemplate in silence during our busy social schedules. A work with a simple title should therefore portray a simplistic beauty.
