現代水墨動向觀察－以北美館「水墨變相－現代水墨在台灣」及國父紀念館「時尚水墨－第一屆台北當代水墨雙年展」爲例

台灣兩個重要的展覽場地－市立美術館和國父紀念館在2006年年底同時舉辦了現代水墨大展，不僅時間非常接近，且都企圖對水墨發展動向做一個整理與註解，讓時人對現代水墨有進一步瞭解，起到了倡導與教育的作用。此文除了比較兩展在策展動機、展出畫家、作品呈現的不同外，也提出自己對策展的看法。按著，試圖在所有作品中，找到同質與異質的部分，歸納出現代水墨發展的幾個面向。其中表現最多的當屬抽象水墨或實驗水墨。雖然水墨的現代化，並不等於水墨的抽象化，但抽象形式在兩個展覽中確是一個重要型態。現代水墨的表現風格源於對傳統不同的解讀及取捨，無論發展面向為何，肯定的是，從事水墨創作的藝術家都在爲現代水墨的出路做大膽的嘗試。水墨畫的新舊之爭從五○年代末持續至今，經過幾番激烈的論辯與多年時間的推衍，藝評家或藝術家都已漸漸的找到立足的觀點，本文希望提供創作者一個融合與生發的思考點，並提出自己對現代水墨的一些看法。

Both of ”Taipei Fine Arts Museum” and ”Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall” are important galleries in Taiwan. They held exhibitions of ink painting at almost the same time in 2006, and attempted to arrange and annotate the developing of ink painting and let people understand more about modern ink painting, and also tried to achieve the objectives of promotion and education. This article wants to compare the differences between these two exhibitions on the purposes, artists, and works and to express some of my thinking about that. Besides, I attempt to find out the same and the different characteristics of those works exhibited and also try to generalize some dimensions of ink painting works. I found that most of the works belong to abstract ink painting or experiment ink painting. Although, modernization is not necessarily same as abstract, the abstract is an important style in these two exhibitions. Because of different understanding and choices of the ink painting traditions, the style of the works of modern ink painting will be different. However, all artists do their best to try. The arguments of ink painting have been proceeding since l950s. After the debate again and again, many years later, the critics and artists find their footholds at last. In the last paragraph of my article, I hope to provide a point for creators to think about how to integrate and innovate. I'll give my opinions as well.
