源於愛—祝家媛版畫創作論述

Abstract

本創作研究《源於愛》在闡述筆者自身的生命情感經驗於語言表達限制及文字解讀差異下，通過圖像作為一種非語言表達與抒情。藉由漢字與圖像在漫長文明相輔相成的符號關係中，將愛字追本溯源出人物形象，並將其延伸為有機圖像的創作內容，串連起生命情感經驗的產生與連結，重新定義、了解愛的情感本質：是人從出生開始，透過與世界的交互關係下不斷學習與成長下所產生的情緒感知，即是生命與世界的能量創造。本創作研究通過探討符號學、存在主義及分析詮釋東西方藝術家的創作思想和背景，建立藝術創作的學理基礎。筆者以版畫凸版單版覆刻為創作主軸，並在創作實踐的進程中，不斷探尋版畫作品形式的情感展現與連結。《慾》系列作品以版畫的複數型態，拼接串連起圖像，傳達情感的綿延與龐大。《肉身》系列作品探討版畫中版與圖像之間的存在關係，版的消磨成就了圖像的構成，如同世界與肉身般，能量相互流動、共存共榮的狀態。透過版畫媒材的繁複操作過程以及堆疊語彙，版與紙張之間的能量循環與圖像繁衍，呼應人複雜的情感呈現，是肉身在與世界的層層關係中能量的相通並不斷累積建構著，體現了生命的規律。

筆者藉由繪畫語言的表達及版畫媒材的操作，揉合內容與形式，將所感所想轉換成實體的圖像。在理性與感性之間，體驗和變異的過程中，更誠實地面對自己的生命歷程，找尋真實的自我，發掘出個人獨特的藝術語言，作為往後創作的根基養分，以及對未來進一步研究和創作的展望。

This creative research" Living Love " elucidates the author's personal experiences of life and emotions, transcending the limitations of language and textual interpretation. Through the symbiotic relationship between Chinese characters and imagery, the character for "love" is traced back to its pictorial origins and expanded into organic visual creations. This work redefines and understands the essence of love as the emotional perception generated through continuous learning and growth in our interaction with the world from birth.

This creative discourse builds upon the study of semiotics, existentialism, and analyzing the creative ideas of artists from East and West, this research establishes a theoretical foundation for artistic creation. Focusing on reduction printmaking, the author explores emotional expression and connections. The "Desire" series conveys the enormity of emotions through plural forms of printmaking, while the "Flesh" series examines the existence relationship between plate and image,symbolizing the flow and coexistence of energy. Through complex processes and reduction printmaking techniques, the energy circulation and image reproduction parallel the complex presentation of human emotions, reflecting the intricate connections between body, self, others, society, and the world.By blending content and form through painting and printmaking, personal feelings are transformed into tangible images. This process facilitates a deeper understanding of oneself, a discovery of a unique artistic language, and lays the foundation for future creations and further exploration.
