「動物喜宴」- 上層社會婚禮暨圖像創作研究

Abstract

本文探討台灣上層社會婚禮現象，因上層階層的門當戶的喜宴為人人稱羨之美事，從婚禮的場地規模和到場的賓客數量，可以顯示這對新人名望地位與經濟能力。從歷史故事之中找出過往有趣及大家族的婚禮案例畫作紀錄，再從婚禮背後的故事，用動物擬人化暗喻或象徵物詮釋畫作風貌。

在今天的台灣，有一群屬於上層階級的人們擁有相似出生背景、生活環境、 經濟條件，讓家族聯姻逐漸形成上層社群規則。當門當戶對束縛了台灣階層，也使社會階級流動率低走向必然，相對讓整體社會走向裙帶資本主義。這些種種社會現象看似與藝術無關，卻有著息息相關的牽絆，追溯自古代歐洲，將藝術家職業視為服侍貴族生活也不為過，舉凡人生、婚姻、死亡等重要記錄無所不畫。而歷史背景未如歐洲重視世襲傳承文化與藝術精神的亞洲背景，將貴族取而代之的是依經濟地位區分的家族企業財團。本文探討的重點是如何透過視覺畫面，以喜宴創作故事為主軸，從中分析上層社群當下的社會現況。
