摘要: | 「身在哪一個時代,就應關心這個時代的事情。」筆者就是這樣的人,在筆者的創作研究中,把自身的經歷、時代的背景、未來的期待,都深切反應在作品之中,以「幻化‧重生」為主軸,發展出生命軌跡、女人心事、原民智慧、鄉土情懷四個系列。系列探討從生命與女性角色出發,進而推及到關懷周遭族群生態、培養珍惜本土文化之情感。 在創作的過程中,也閱讀不少相關書籍、資料,對筆者創作影響較深的理論主要有:東方的道家哲學、禪學;西方的解構主義、後現代主義、藝術社會學……。以畫家或繪畫流派來說,東方的水墨畫家吳冠中等人,對筆者的創作研究啟發甚多;西方的超現實主義、立體主義、表現主義、後印象派、維也納分離派等,也深深影響筆者的創作發展。各種不同的藝術流派、畫家作品、思想精神,皆是藝術創作的養分,珍惜與融合各家之長,才能創作出更有深度的作品。 筆者在進行創作研究時,除了對傳統的水墨技法做探討、詮釋外,也進行不少技法實驗,如噴灑、加入不同排水物質、拓印、浮水印……,這些技法實驗,都成了創作的寶貴元素。另外,創作的靈感多來自生活之中,時事、新聞也都是創作的題材,筆者深信以真實的生活為基礎編織出來的作品,才能打動人心! 這三年的學習,筆者從創作技法到心靈成長,皆收穫豐盈。也期許未來的日子,能以目前的所學,讓更多的學子受惠。願自己繼續吸收各種藝術思潮,持續精進技法,創作出具有時代特色的作品,悠遊在筆墨間的寬闊天地之中。 "A person should participate and get involved with the happenings of his/her era." This is the belief of the author. In the author's creative research, she uses her own experience, background of the era, and expectations for the future are fully reflected in the work among her creations. By using “Illusional Rebirth Through Eternal Reformation” as the main theme, the author brings out four main subjects. Tracks of Life, A Women’s Mind, Wisdom of The Aboriginals, and Passion for The Home Land are the four main subjects inspired from the main theme. The discussion of the four subjects begins from searching the meaning of life. Through the meaning of life the second subject brings out the discussion of the role of a female in the modern society. From that perspective of view leads to the third discussion of how could the wisdom of aboriginals help us and what we can do for the diminishing culture. The last subject talks about cherishing and protecting one’s very own culture and environment. During the creative process, the narrator had a chance to read related books and articles of the four subjects. Many theories and philosophy had a great impact on the writer’s thoughts. Examples are: Eastern Taoism, Zen; Western deconstruction, postmodernism, sociology of art and etc. The painter Wu, Guanzhong and similar genre has also inspired the author and her works. Western surrealism, cubism, expressionism, post impressionism, Vienna Secession, etc., have also deeply affected the narrator’s creative development. Various art schools, artist works, spiritual thoughts are the nutrient of all art creations. In order for an artist to create an art piece with more depth, one must integrate, cherish, and respect all different fields of art. During writer’s study and research, apart from using the traditional techniques of ink and wash painting technique, many other methods are also used. For example, spraying with different drainage material, rubbing, watermarks, and etc, these experimental techniques, have become valuable creative elements. In addition, more than inspiration can from one’s surroundings, current events, news are all raw materials for creating art work. Writer believe the most touching creation of art often comes from the elements that can be found in our everyday life. This three-year study, the author has grown either from art technique or spiritual growth. It is a bountiful harvest in both areas. The writer wishes to put these new skills into practice in near future in educating our new generation. One will also keep learning new elements about art in order to create unique art work to represent the era. Therefore, knowing how art work can take such an effect in our lives, we should embrace and cherish art to complete our life’s journey. |
