虛空立形：葉修英石水創作論述

Abstract

筆者在科技文明社會中感到疏離空虛，偏離了與自己、他人及自然的關係，加上父親往生，似乎覺得內心更加空虛；目睹東北角海邊的岩石，在海浪拍擊下，鑿出許多孔洞，水才可以自由流動穿梭，讓人領悟到空虛可以轉變成「虛空」的容納跟流動；海邊有些奇石怪岩堆疊著，形成各種人或物的造形，似乎訴說著各種故事，於是開啟了虛空立形：石水創作論述為主題的研究。本虛空立形是以石跟水為創作的符號，組構及擬形為創作模式；擬形山水比起傳統山水有更開闊的表達空間，是以想像力為基礎，從現存自然物中感受到人類的形象與情感，是「物我合一」的觀念，是故以道家哲學、後現代二元對立消融哲學、西方精神分析心理學及藝術情感符號做為探討。研究的方法上，採用「觀察法」、「文獻分析法」、「圖像分析法」、「創作實踐法」等。透過此創作研究達到（一）找到自己的情感符號（二）確立自己藝術的主體性（三）體現當代形貌與精神（四）創立當代水墨的多樣性。本論文共分為六個章節：第一章緒論，說明研究動機與目的、研究內容與範圍、研究方法與限制。第二章研究「虛空」及石、水涵意。第三章探討虛空立形構成之藝術思考。第四章說明創作理念與實踐。第五章是創作分析與說明。第六章結論。I often felt isolated in this modern and technological society, deviated the bond between the nature, self, and others. More than this, I even experienced the inner emptiness after my loving father passed away. Thankfully, by seeing the rocky coast in the Northeast Taiwan which have been cut and carved by the pounding waves for millions years, touched by thousands of notches on rocky reefs which have been drilled out by the flowing seawater, the freedom of water and marvelous shape of rocks lighted up my mind, helped me to discover that the emptiness can also be converted to a form of motion content in the immaterial universe. There, different rocks stacked, shaping out multiple figures and objects. They seem to tell me stories which inspired my study of “Originating forms inthe immaterial Universe: Ink art creation of rock and aqua”.The theme “Originating forms in the immaterial Universe” uses rock and aqua as symbols. The creative mode combines “images composed” and “personification”. Comparing to the traditional landscape painting, personified landscape painting has a much wider space to express personal emotions. With the imagination as the foundation, sensing human bodies and emotion from the nature, and uniting self and objects, which lead my research focus from the combination of Chinese “Taoist”, “deconstructing binary opposition” of postmodernism, psychoanalysis, and art semiotics of emotion.“Observational method”, “Citation checking”, “Image analysis”, and “Practice research” are used in the research. The objects are: 1. Finding my own semiotics of emotion. 2. Establishing art subjectivity. 3. Embodying contemporary appearance and spirit. 4. Creating diversity of contemporary ink painting.The essay is divided into six chapters: Chapter I, introduction: explaining the motivation and purpose of the research, the content and study area, and research methods and limitations; Chapter II, Research the meaning of “Immaterial Universe” and “rock and aqua”; Chapter III, Discuss the artistic thinking of the composition of “ Originating Forms in the Immaterial Universe”; Chapter IV, The concept of creation and practice; Chapter V, analysis and description of works; Chapter VI, Conclusion.
