狂 草 施 彥 君 個 展
2 0 1 6 . 1 . 1 1 (mon.) ~ 2 0 1 6 . 4 . 2 3 (sat.)
書法是一門富有深厚底蘊的視覺藝術,數千年來演化出一套完整的筆法,更延伸出多種形態變化和組合,順著筆勢的表現、墨色的深淺,體現了文字之美,假若今天抽離掉既有的字體架構,我們ㄧ定需要經由「讀」文字才能「欣賞」書法嗎?
此次展覽藝術家施彥君跳脫傳統的表現技法,以編織的手法轉化書法的風貌,選擇植物藤蔓作為創作媒材,枝幹的挺拔力道,宛如行筆的蒼勁、枝梢的纖細結構,猶如寫意的揮灑,在流暢的線條中彷彿能感受生命力的奔放,藉由光影的交錯將片刻一瞬倒映於紙面上,錯落出層疊的陰影之美。透過光,細細勾勒出筆尖下的奔騰及澎湃,讓觀者感受生命體的柔美和暫留,也將原本平面的書寫表現轉換為立體與空間。抽離掉對文字既有的框架,當字形轉為物形,似字又非字;將形體之外的抽象結構,回歸到書法純粹的「線條」表現,詮釋另ㄧ種文字的閱讀方式。
微觀紙張,回歸到纖維的本身,紙代表的即是一場植物生命的循環,樹火紀念紙博物館今年關注於植物藝術的創作,無論是取自大自然的生命靈感,或是以植物的媒材結合紙張的嚐新詮釋,都反映出我們接受大自然韻律的安排,在各式現代浪潮的快速淘汰中,選擇最古老、最普及而永久性的變化生命體,以藝術手法展現自然的極致與循環,一同恆念萬物逝去的過程。
「狂草」嘗試了字的另一種可能,從具象到抽象、從轉瞬到無限,無論是把文字之框架付諸於生命載體、或是將字義抽離於書法本身,兩種不同面向的思考,開啟觀者用自身的生活經驗去感受,傳遞人與自然界的連結及超越。
Wild Cursive _ Shih Yen-Chun Solo Exhibition
2 0 1 6 . 1 . 1 1 (mon.) ~ 2 0 1 6 . 4 . 2 3 (sat.)
Calligraphy is a visual art that has a rich and deep history. It has evolved for over a thousand years into a complete set of strokes, and extends into a variety of morphological variations and combinations. They include the different shades of ink that express the beauty of characters, even more, gestures in dance performances inherit this idea too.
The exhibition of the artist, Shih Yen-Chun avoids the traditional techniques of calligraphy art and instead uses weaving to present calligraphy in a totally different way. By selecting plant vines and light as a creative medium Shih Yen-Chun converted a writing plane into a three dimensional space. This whole new interpretation gives viewers a new experience of “reading”.
Paper defines the cycle of life. Therefore Suho Paper Memorial Museum focuses on the creation of botanical art. We believe these all reflect the rhythm of nature.
“Cursive” is another way of expressing characters, from figurative to abstract. This new experience guide viewers to interpret Chinese characters in a sensible way.
