摘 要 接觸版畫近十個年頭,從開始以來,除了媒材本身技術的多樣性與實驗性吸引我之外,在撰寫論述時,思考的問題除了個人作品的內容,也涉及所選擇的媒材究竟與作品有何必要關聯。在電腦繪圖及印刷科技發達的今日,版畫的定義廣泛來說,它的可複製特質除了可增加原作數量、降低單價的商業性格外,在平面創作範疇內還有什麼其他可能性。將這些想法配合因主題而選擇的版畫表現技法,構成本系列作品:以色層堆疊為主要方向的抽象版畫。 本篇創作論述分為五個章節: 第一章:序論。說明本系列作品的創作動機,包括創作風格的演進過程、符號象徵意義如何由具像轉為抽象、模版概念與表現技法對作品的關聯,及整個論述的範圍及內容。 第二章:圖像與軌跡。談的是作品內容,包括造形分析、選擇圖像的意義及造形的轉變過程、作品呈現的觀點,另外在第三小節與其他藝術家的類似作品做比較分析。 第三章:重疊與重覆之間。敘述的是作品形式,在創作過程中的想法與實驗,根據主題的設定如何安排構圖、色彩及空間營造。 第四章:媒材與創作過程。針對媒材本身及工作狀態做論述,個人於本系列作品所使用的版畫概念、創作中的嘗試以及在工作的過程中,身體的狀態與作品的關聯,在生活環境與工作環境間的體認與連結。 第五章:結論。在於說明自己長時間接觸版畫以來,對於版畫概念的定義、創作上的使用、到目前這個階段的反省與沉澱以及對未來創作發展的一些想法。 版畫的表現形式眾多,在歷史的演進中,技術性已不再是為了印刷目的而存在。以版畫作為一創作媒介,除了沉醉於技法的鑽研與效果的表現,作品自身內涵與表現媒介的關聯,更是個人在此論述中所關注的重點,並以此作為經驗分享。
Abstract I have always been fascinated by the diversity and experimental aspects of printmaking media since I started working with this genre some ten years ago. In this discussion, I have also included the issue of association between the selected medium and the finished work itself, in addition to the substance of the artwork. In today’s world of computerized drawing and advanced printing techniques, what make prints stand out, based on the definition of this genre, include its reproducibility which allows the production of a number of original copies and lower costs, as well as other possibilities of two-dimensional creations. This series of works takes into consideration these concepts, blended with the printmaking techniques chosen to match the theme: abstract prints mainly oriented towards overlapping of color layers. This paper consists of five chapters, as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction: This chapter deals with the motive behind this series of works, including evolution of creative style, how symbolism turns into abstract forms, the association of template concept and method of expression with the art piece, as well as the scope and contents of the discussion. Chapter 2: Images and Tracks: This chapter discusses the substance of the art works, including analysis of forms, the significance of chosen images and the transformation process of forms, as well as viewpoints on presentation. In the three sections, comparative analysis with similar works by other artists is carried out. Chapter 3: Between Overlapping and Repetition: This tackles the art works’ forms, how concepts and experimentation play their roles in the creative process, and how lay outs, colors and spatial structures are decided based on the themes. Chapter 4: Medium and the Creative Process: This chapter deals with the media and work conditions, the printmaking concepts I used in this series, the creative trials and the relationship between my physical condition and the art works during the creative process, as well as perceptions on my living and working environments, and the linkages between the two. Chapter 5: Conclusions: In this chapter, I have explained my views on the definition of printmaking, how they applied in my creative process, my introspections and thoughts, as well as some of my ideas on future creative work. Printmaking expressions come in countless styles. In the evolution of this art, technicality is no longer just an issue considered for the purpose of printing. As a creative genre, printmaking is not merely dabbling in techniques and effects but likewise emphasizes association between the substance of the art works and the medium of expression. This issue is the focal point of my discussion and experience-sharing in this paper.
