集聚．等待 — 蔡維玲都市群像彩墨探討

Abstract

本研究從圖像之社會意涵出發，探討社會中人類群聚現象，試圖將人類群聚之特性與論點，與繪畫圖像發生關聯，並跨越純藝術領域，以群眾心理學、都市學切入，探討群眾之好奇心、盲從、仿同、慾望的傳染行為，尋求更多元性的方向，輔佐畫面人物心理狀態之表現。 描寫庶民的風俗畫《清明上河圖》當中可略見早在宋朝時人群的集聚狀況，這些發生於800多年前的都市景象、人類喜好圍聚的狀態在現今的街頭也同樣不斷地重複發生，故本文對於這些恆常的人性，或都市繁榮、擁擠等狀態作分析，從中探討人類的習性與社會狀態，再運用於人物繪畫上的組織結構。 以社會批判為目的的《流民圖》題材，是對於社會狀態的體悟與評判，從《流民圖》探討社會關懷，以顯繪畫關心社會之必要。此外，《流民圖》更是中國繪畫中以人物題材表現山水中散點式構圖的最佳代表，以散點式構圖來表現人物，可使排隊的隊伍無限地延伸，觀盡千萬里之景象，納須彌於芥子,觀宇宙於沙粒，遨遊於無限時空。 ”經營位置”影響整體畫面的氣氛感受，布白的考量更是帶動氣體流動的重要因素，本文從布白的兩種觀點作探討，一是虛中有實、實中有虛的觀念，二為疏可走馬，密不通風的觀點，試圖在留白與密實間取得平衡。 皴法與肌理的探討則是另一項要點，山水運用皴法形成面，此研究嘗試把這個理念運用於人物衣紋的表現上，以類似樹葉的表現手法作出衣服皺摺的效果，在人物畫科中較著重線條的審美觀外尋找另一種拓展皴法肌理的可能。

This research has its starting point focused on the social meanings of images in paintings, discussing the gathering phenomenon human beings and trying to draw out the linkage between the theories of human gathering’s features and the images and paintings. Also, beyond mere art’s point of views, the research is also conducted from the perspective of group psychology and city study to explore the infectious behavior of the curiosity, blindly obedience, imitation, and desire among people, seeking for more versatile directions to help adjust the mental performance of characters in a painting image.

The folklore painting Spring Festival on the River depicting ordinary people displays some gatherings of people in early Song Dynasty. These phenomena happening more than 800 years ago in cities and how human are prone to gather still happen repeatedly on a streets in today’s world. Thus, the dissertation focuses on the eternity parts in humanity, the prosperity and crowds of cities for analyses, discussing the habitual sides of human beings and social conditions, then applying them to the organization of the structure in figure paintings.

The emphasis of social criticism can be found in Beggars and Street Characters, which displays the reflection and criticism aiming at social conditions. Through the discussion of social care based on Beggars and Street Characters, paintings are apparently a society’s necessities when it comes to caring about the society. Besides, Beggars and Street Characters is the most appropriate work that stands for Chinese figure paintings which displays the perspective of multiple vanishing points seen in landscapes. Displaying figures in a perspective of multiple vanishing points helps people’s lining up extend beyond limit; it helps construct a broad horizon for far-reaching scenery; it encapsulate the whole universe in small units to facilitate us in our traveling between different spaces.

“The spatial management” is a key factor in the establishment of the atmosphere in the whole image; the unpainted spatial management even carries the importance of the air flow in an image. In the dissertation, two points of view are given for the discussion of unpainted spatial management: 1. The concepts of the visible in the invisible and the invisible in the visible. 2. The great capacity in sparse space and the intensely dense space constructed in images and. The dissertation will discuss how a balance can be reached between unpainted space and density.

The method of showing the shades and the textures by light or dry ink strokes is also the focus in discussion. Landscapes contains the skills of&& to create a surface. The dissertation discusses the possibility of applying the same idea into the surface of clothes in figures with the same effect of the possible wrinkles seen in leaves in a painting. The dissertation contains the possibility of another road to take to develop && skin texture into figure paintings, which have emphasis more on the sense of beauty for lines and curves.
