科技的發展反而造就人們生活的痛苦指數增高,面對變遷中的世界所帶來層出不窮的問題及無限的惡性循環,使現代人產生對生命意義的疑惑與不肯定。「生命實踐」的學問在中國古代哲學早已盛行,而道家思想是以「自然」、「無為」為主要內涵,講述人的生命順應著自然,不可揠苗助長,任何強制的規矩限制都是造成苦痛紛擾的來源。故興起筆者以自然為題之創作來闡述人的生命價值。 本創作以《逍遙自在》為題,嘗試透過莊子悟得之自然觀生命哲學,轉化為視覺語言,重新詮釋人類的生命價值,首先蒐集相關文獻,透過「自然」的觀點闡述出生命價值之意義,並運用設計美學的基礎,一方面強化意境之營造,並建立個人獨特的風格,以現代電腦繪製手法表現,使現代人更能親近,來傳達自然的生命教育。 本創作分為兩大系列,皆以大自然為畫面主角,以半具象和抽象兩個系列表現。半具象系列以山、島、林、崖為表現,描繪大自然景象,順應自然的變化規律,使事物保持其天然的本性而不人為做作,達到平樸而自然的生活。抽象系列將大自然簡化,分為「一日」和「山島林崖」兩件作品與半具象系列呼應,使用純粹之造型呈現。以莊子的生命哲理出發,期望觀者能進入畫面中,如同悠遊於自然裡,並且從中體悟出逍遙之道。
Instead, the technological development has caused the increase of people’s daily living’s misery index. Facing all the problems that the world transitions bring and the unlimited vicious cycle cause modern people to have doubts and uncertainty towards the meaning of life. The discipline of “life practice” had prevailed in the Chinese ancient philosophy, while “nature” and “inaction” are the main content of Taoism. It states that life should conform what is natural rather than forcing what is unnatural. Any mandatory restrictions and rules would be the cause of the pain. This thinking brings the author to create the work based on the theme of nature as to narrate people’s meaning of life. This creation is named “Free and Easy Wandering” tries to convert Chuang-Tzu’s realization of the natural view of life philosophy into visual languages, which is a re-interpretation of people’s meaning of life. First, all the related literature was collected as to explain the significance of the value of life through “nature.” By using the basis of design aesthetics, it can fortify the creation of the artistic conception and create a unique personal style. By using computer drawing techniques, modern people can be closer to convey the natural life education. This creation is divided into two series. Both have nature as the central character using semi-figurative and abstract representations. The semi-figurative series use mountains, islands, woods and cliffs as to depict the natural view. By adapting to the regular rhythm of nature, everything can keep its inherent nature rather than artificial affectation. It reaches to a simple and natural ways of living. The abstract series has simplified the nature. Both pieces, “Day” and “Mountain, island, wood and cliff” echo with the semi-figurative series. They are presented in a pure modeling. Departing from Chuang-Tzu’s life philosophy, it is expected that the audience can enter into the pictures like being in the nature and realize the concept of unfettering.
