摘要 《雲之彼端》Drifting Clouds系列，是人生風景線上內心風景（Inner Landscapes）的觀察及孤獨旅程以「雲」為廣泛概念所畫下來的作品，這也是一連串自我創作探索與研究的開端。其創作的目的，包括發展屬於牧雲人的創作語言。找出與觀者的連結點並藉點景人物的安置，延滯觀者停留畫面的時間，進入超越表現並與《雲之彼端》作連結與呼應。同時以非具象性繪畫方式尋找另一種可表達內心情境風景的可能性。 而《雲之彼端》的繪畫語境的研究架構與學理基礎，也以筆者攝影美學基礎連結嫁接繪畫而摩擦產生的自我生命意識的創作語言作精進研究的基礎。研究對象除了筆者本身創作之外，也包括現代東方水墨高行健、賈又福、荷蘭古典風景畫家Jacob Isaacksz van Ruisdael、趙無極及朱德群。研究範圍則包括個人攝影作品與繪畫創作的視覺摩擦、觀看雲的方式與視覺呈現的研究、《雲之彼端》的情感作用、《凌晨半點藍》的連結隱喻作用、虛構與延伸的抒情抽象空間及符號作用等。 最後，從端詳畫中觀看自由如風移動的雲，有氣度、寬度、高度、溫度之療癒性雲系作品，表達主體價值的爽朗存在及悠悠千載入人間的情感，並以回映社會緊張疏離與測量臨界負荷，而能重新轉化與蛻變再出發。

Abstract The “Drifting Clouds” series presents the inner landscapes of life through the solitary journey of observing the clouds. Each piece of finished work also marks the beginning of self-discovery and exploration. The intention of the series’ creation is to develop the creative expression of the Cloud Herder. By studying the object throughout various pieces, the audience will be drawn to connect with it and explore the “Drifting Clouds” through the eyes of the object. At the same time, the nonfigurative style of painting is used to help reveal the complexity of the inner landscapes. The foundation of the creative expression through “Drifting Clouds” is based on the pursuit to refine innovative communication that gives rise to self-realization, which is birthed from the collision between the author’s passions for fine-art photography and painting. Other artists behind the inspiration of the series include ink and wash painters Gao Xingjian and Jia Youfu, Dutch Golden Age landscape painter Jacob Isaacksz van Ruisdael, and other renowned abstract expressionists Zhao Wuji and Zhu Dequn. Topics explored include the difference in visual presentation between photos and paintings, studying the clouds and presenting the findings visually, the emotional impact of observing the “Drifting Clouds” , the metaphor of the “slightly blue at dawn” , the sentimental effects of imaginary extension of abstract space and symbols. Finally, through observing the free roaming clouds within each piece, one sees stateliness, breadth, height and warmth that bring about spiritual healing and introduce a carefree existence that humans have longed for. This shall help alleviate the stress caused by alienation which is pushing society to the breaking point and help bring about a chance of renewal and rebirth.
