愛、時間與記憶–高以樂創作論述

Abstract

「愛、時間與記憶」創作論述與作品，以自身家庭結構為核心，在日常生活場域中，透過感知觀看貓、犬之真實存在，無論是瞬間一瞥，或是持續的時間經驗，在彼此共處的過程中，產生的情感依附關係，堆疊出深刻雋永的生命感悟。以攝影作為蒐集貓、犬圖像的工具，在按下快門拍攝的瞬間，同時儲存當下所存在的時間，照片也累積成可數之記憶檔案。透過照片、影片與文字作為媒介，上傳至社群媒體與他人進行對話，並透過實際訪談之方式，記錄雙方完整對話內容，將語言、文字、圖像分門別類存檔，建構成為專屬之繪畫創作資料庫。因此，藉由網際網路的資訊流通，創作思維不再只侷限於自我狹隘的見識，賦予本創作探索生命本質，具有更多元的面向與意涵。經過縝密的構思，使用油彩與彩色鉛筆媒材，以繪畫的表現形式，將日常景象中的貓、犬真實樣貌，再現於畫布與紙張之上。詮釋目前所處的社會現況中，人類與動物之間依附的情感，理解在生命中所經歷的愛的形式、刻劃時間的存在以及儲存美好的記憶，讓系列作品之間產生關連性與和諧感，完成繪畫研究創作實踐。本創作論文共分為五個章節，第一章：包括緒論、創作研究動機與目的、創作研究方法與架構以及名詞釋義。第二章：創作學理與文獻探討，包括：人類與動物的關係、動物圖像表現形式、貓與犬的繪畫象徵以及庫爾貝的寫實視界。第三章：貓、犬繪畫創作論述，包括：家的現象與意象、日常景象的感知、創作與科技融合、繪畫創作應用之媒材與實踐。第四章：愛、時間與記憶創作詮釋，針對「愛的總和」、「刻畫時間」、「儲存記憶」三個系列作品，進行創作分析與詮釋。第五章：研究結論與未來展望，對本研究論文進行總結並說明未來創作之方向與展望。This thesis primarily presents the creative statements behind the author's artworks in the "Love, Time, and Memory" series. Centered around own family structure, the author habitually observes and captures images of cats and dogs through visual perception in the context of daily life. Whether it is a fleeting glimpse or a prolonged experience, the emotional bonds formed between humans and animals during coexistence consistently inspire profound insights into life. These insights form the foundation of the author's artistic creation of animal portraits. During the creative process, the author initially uses photography as a medium to capture images of cats and dogs. Each press of the shutter preserves a specific moment, and these photos are accumulated into an archive of memories. The media—photos, videos, and text—are then uploaded to social media, inviting others to engage in conversations. Through interviews, the dialogues between the author and interviewees are fully recorded, then categorized into verbal elements, text, and images within dedicated archives, thereby constructing a unique database for painting creation. In this way, the flow of information on the Internet expands the author's otherwise limited perspective and provides the artwork discussed in this research with a broader range of dimensions and meanings. After a prolonged period of conceptualization and design, the author selected oil paint and colored pencils as mediums to vividly recreate the appearance of cats and dogs on canvas and paper. These artworks aim to express the unique and intricate emotions of love between humans and pets in modern society, while also interpreting the inner self and the psychological transitions experienced throughout life. Guided by the concepts of"understanding forms of love," "depicting the passage of time," and "preserving beautiful memories," the paintings convey a sense of harmony and interconnectedness, which form the central focus and core values of this research. This creative thesis is divided into five chapters. The chapter 1 serves as the intr-oduction, outlining the motivation and purpose of the creative research, the research methods and framework, as well as the definitions of key terms. The chapter 2 focuses on the theoretical foundation and literature review, exploring the relationship between humans and animals, the representational forms of animal imagery, the symbolic mea-nings of cats and dogs in painting, and Courbet's perspective on realism. The chapter 3 delves into the creative discourse surrounding cat and dog paintings, discussing the-mes such as the phenomena and imagery of home, the perception of everyday scenes, the integration of virtual and reality, and the application of various materials and pra-ctices in painting. The chapter 4 interprets the creative themes of love, time, and me-mory, providing an analysis and interpretation of three series of works: The Sum of Love, Depicting Time, and Storing Memories. Finally, the chapter 5 presents the con-clusions and future outlook of this study, summarizing the research findings and pro-viding an overview of the directions and prospects for future creative endeavors.
