動勢與靜觀 ─ 水彩繪畫空間動勢之表現

Abstract

當前社會科技高度發展，物質文明超級進步，宗教力量削弱，社會階層化加深，大眾文化、媒體、娛樂及商品過度入侵生活使文化景觀破碎和失序。人類的生活充滿競爭壓力與慾望，自我意識與反省批判能力被壓抑，心靈也失去自由。人是無法跳脫時代限制的思考，做為一位創作者也身處於社會一份子中，以自我的觀點來看世界、反應社會，同時也深受整體環境及社會變動的影響，心靈與思想陷入困頓的苦惱中，而藝術正可以展現人類精神理想的追尋與昇華。藝術的內涵本質不在於任何具有誇張性的風格或是一些誇張形式的技巧上，而是在於生命或人性的關鍵上，創作之路是以自然、現實與人生為憑藉來展開。 本論文探討的主題「動勢與靜觀─水彩繪畫空間動勢之表現」，是筆者個人理想化精神層面的探索，不是真實世界的描述，以水彩繪畫的創作，作空間動勢表現形式的探討與研究，透過主觀思維創造出個人獨特的視覺語言，用韻律與節奏構築畫面，營造一種「動態中的平衡感」，與大自然宇宙運行的律動和諧共鳴，彰顯出一種自我內在平靜、安詳的境地。 一切運動在本質上都有空間，運動在空間裏的持續就是節奏與韻律，就是生命在空間裏的表現，是生命力的彰顯及生生不息的生命循環。「動勢」的觀感予人不同的感受和內在深層意識的啟發，透過動勢生命意涵的思想歸整，探討當代藝術思潮與中國繪畫思想觀念中，動的生命光彩之萬象表現，提供個人更深刻的分析與研究，進而追求生命真實與物象本質涵融合一的創作形式。筆者面對自己的生命課題開始，回復到自我本身最平凡狀態。從中國傳統哲學思想中，汲取超越的精神並涵養個人的思想與人生觀，追求自己心靈精神的絕對自由，自在地和大自然交相應答。追求單純寧靜的心靈，欣賞整個世界、大自然及觀照整個人生。In our current society, scientific technology is highly developed; material comforts are greatly advanced; the influence of religion has been diminished; class distinctions have been reinforced; and the effects of the media, entertainment, popular culture and commercial products have intruded so far into our lives as to induce the breakdown and derailment of cultural sense. Man lives in the shadow of competitive pressure and desire, his consciousness and introspective abilities deadened, his spirit fettered. It is hard to escape the limitations of thought fostered by circumstance, and as an artist constantly in contact with society, looking at the world through subjective eyes, the changes and upheavals in the general environment are keenly felt, and the mind and soul sink gradually into deep frustration, but art signifies the pursuit and sublimation of the spirit and ideals of mankind. The essence of art lies not in elaborate styles or techniques, but rests on the cornerstone of life and humanity, and the road of artistic creation is solidly paved with nature, practicality, and life. The theme of this thesis, ‘Movement and tranquility ─ the expression of spatial movement in watercolor art’, is an exploration of the ideal spiritual level of the author, and is not meant to be a depiction of the real world. The chief aim is to research and explore the expression of spatial movement in watercolor painting, and through subjective thinking, create a unique visual language using rhyme and rhythm, striving to achieve a ‘balance of movement’, in order to be at one with the harmony and rhythm of nature and the universe, reflecting a peace and calm within. All movement fundamentally involves space, and continuous movement in space is rhythm, the expression of life in space, the symbol of the power of life and the never ending cycle of life. ‘Movement’ is appreciated differently by all, and certainly stirs different levels of consciousness. Through the arrangement of ideas concerning the meaning of life within movement, the author explores the many aspects of life and movement in the philosophy of contemporary art and Chinese paintings, Thus providing ample opportunities for deeper research and analysis, and furthering the quest for a mode of creation that incorporates the truth of life and the essence of the object. The author begins by approaching personal issues about life, endeavoring to return to the simplest form of self. The author also draws on the concepts of improvement and personal development of ideas and outlook, elements present in traditional Chinese philosophy, in order to seek absolute freedom of the soul to freely communicate with nature. The quest for a pure, simple soul to better appreciate the world, nature and life continues.
