摘 要 本研究基於筆者本人生命經驗與創作風格,長年研究於寫實技法與油畫材料,故以敘事寓意的靜物畫為表現題材,從西方繪畫史的脈絡梳理,定位出自身創作核心價值。小說家透過文字寫出自己的內心奇幻故事,真實的意象轉化美感經驗,筆者則透過畫筆一筆一筆地呈現,由內心探尋轉畫出靜物描繪,繪出生命的凝結狀態。 第一章研究目的與動機,從生命歷程及成長背景去帶出對西洋棋的符號動機,並在第二章西方靜物繪畫題材及寓意進行文獻梳理,從17世紀尼德蘭地區靜物畫去釐清藝術史定位,再從靜物畫中的欺眼法、畫家在場等議題,逐漸帶出筆者在創作實踐的研究價值。第三章分析「發光研究」系列的理念,從每件作品的視覺感受與學理思維去尋找自我精神皈依。對筆者來說藝術就是創造的根源,生命短暫與時間永恆的矛盾,讓繪畫繼而變成了一種強大的自我昇華動力,在生命磨練中發光。 第四章深入研究油畫材料,並詳細整理創作實踐的細節,透過此研究論文發表,共享筆者研究油畫材料之技術。第五章總結前四章的學理基礎、文獻分析、定位創作理念、油畫材料的技法解析,並總結本研究論文。 藝術是畫家自我表現、創造活動或對現實的模仿,也是遊戲的本能與內在生命的反映。真誠的自我的凝視、審視、沉思、省思,期盼未來創作中,能更加豐富創作語彙,挖掘人類普遍的人生價值,在藝術承繼脈絡和概念系譜中找到自己的貢獻。 關鍵字: 發光、靜物畫、西洋棋、欺眼法
Abstract This study is based on my personal life experience, creative style and year-long study of oil painting materials and techniques of realism.Using expressive still lifes as the subject matter of expression, I attempt to find my work’s standing in the sequence of Western art history. A novelist recreates his inner fantastic stories through words and turns real life scenarios into an experience of beauty. I, on the other hand, lure viewers into my inner world through strokes from my brushes and preserve life as stills in my painting. In Chapter 1: Purpose of Study and Motivation, the reasoning behind using chess pieces as symbols is explored through personal life experiences and my background growing up. The review of literature is the focus of Chapter 2: The Subject Matter and Signification of Western Still Lifes. The role of still life in the history of art is clarified through still lifes from the Netherlands in the 17th century. The value of this study of the creative process slowly manifests as the topics of trompe l'oeil and “painter presence” in still-life paintings are discussed. Chapter 3 explains the ideal behind the “study of illumination” series and seeks to find mental belongingness through the visual sensation evoked and scholarly thinking involved in every individual work.For me, art is the source of creation, and the contradiction between the fleetingness of life and eternity of time turns painting into a power force that motivates self-elevation and shines through the hardships of life. Chapter 4 delves into the study of oil painting materials and thoroughly depicts details of the creative process, sharing my techniques to study oil painting materials through publication of this thesis. Chapter 5 summarizes the academic basis, analysis of literature, ideals of finding one’s standing through one’s work and breaking down techniques of utilizing oil painting materials in the aforementioned 4 chapters, and concludes the whole thesis. Art is a means for painters to express themselves, create or imitate reality, but it alsoreflects the instinct to play and is a reflection of inner life. Through sincere self-examination, observation, meditation and reflection, I hope that my future works will expand its creative diversity and discover the common life value of human beings.Then perhaps one day,I could establish myself as a contributor to the still-life genre and leave a mark in the long vast history of art.
