摘要: | 有鑑於當今藥師佛圖像創作與現代人間佛教思想的轉化之間失去連結,也與佛法落實人間漸漸疏遠的現況,因此本研究以「觀∙修-現代藥師佛相藝術創作論述」為題,試圖利用東西方繪畫技法的融合,在內心尋找藥師佛的過程中,並對自我生命的存在探索,回歸自身處在物質世界的身體和精神世界的心靈,從自身觀照與生命轉化的體悟中,結合實踐藥師法門止觀的修持,配合視覺藝術觀看的理論省思,以達到藥師佛相藝術與現代人間佛教思想的契合,貼近人心並落實人間,進而呈現此階段藝術創作的實踐與論述。 本創作研究以理論綜合法,圖像研究分析法,品質思考法,行動研究法等四種的研究方法延伸到創作的理念上,再透過禪觀方式與內心觀照生命的構成模式,以及如何自我調節轉化的狀態,藉由圖像創作實驗與操作,以形式、造形、意境、色彩的改變,到現代藝術技法表現的詮釋,從外在的觀看轉化為內在的觀照,來自我療癒獲得身心的喜樂自在,並說明萬物組成的七大元素在繪畫中所表現的意涵與樣貌,協助觀賞者易於理解創作思維及內涵。 以自我「觀∙修」的實踐歷程,經自我內心轉化後所呈現在現代藥師佛相的創作整體探討結果,研究者讓觀賞者重新用一種新的思維角度觀看佛相,跳脫現代人疏離感的框架來感知佛相,進而省思回歸對自我生命的觀照淨化和調節身心,落實自利利他的目的,與現代人間佛教思想的轉化之間相連結。而這種現代藥師佛相貼近人心的呈現方式,將為佛像藝術帶入新的視野,更帶給傳統佛像繪畫新的省思和啟發。 Due to the lost of connection between the modern artistic creation of Medicine Buddha and the transformation of Humanistic Buddhism beliefs, along with the current situation in which Buddhism is getting more irrelevant in nowadays society. My essay "Observation Practice: Creating modern day art work depicting the Medicine Buddha" would like to combine the painting techniques with East and West, by the process of finding Medicine Buddha in mind, exploring the existence of self life, returning to physical world and psychological world. Through the understanding of meditation and transformation, along with the practice of fixative meditation of Medicine Buddha and the theory of visual art. I would like to make the combination of art creation of Medicine Buddha and Humanistic Buddhism beliefs. Let the creation to close to people's mind and modern society, and showing the practice and depiction so far. I use integrated theory, iconographic analysis, quality consideration, and action research as methodology in my essay, extending to the idea of creation. Then I visualize the construction of inner me by meditation and the situation of self regulation. By creation and experimentation of images, changing forms, structures, atmospheres and colors, and interpretation of modern artistic techniques, the outside visualization transfers into inner insight. People who have the physical joyful and liberation cure themselves. I will also explain the meanings and forms of seven elements of world creation in my paintings, to help viewers understand the idea of my creations easier. My process of practicing Observation Practice becomes the creation of modern images of Medicine Buddha during my inner transformation. I use a new way making audiences to watch the images of Buddha. They can feel the images of Buddha away from alienation, and back to self purify and modulation. In order to establish one's own and others' purposes, and to connect Humanistic Buddhism beliefs, I chose this kind of way of expressing the images of Medicine Buddha. Not only I bring a new vision of Buddhist art, but also can rethink even discover the paintings of traditional Buddhist art. |
