從一而終．轉念生變 關於鄧卜君的創作 文 / 李依依
Focus 雜誌總編輯
當代水墨在近幾年來受到
來
多的關注，無論是兩岸三地或華人
藝術家，在在展現出各異其趣的特色與風格。出生於花蓮，目前亦 居住在花蓮的藝術家鄧卜君，便是一位將現代與傳統文化融合至極 的水墨藝術家，作品經常富含深意，以奇幻的構圖、非凡的用色， 散發獨特的水墨魅力。鄧卜君表示：「我常想，水墨現代是什麼？ 是把傳統唾棄、破壞或改革？但我都沒做，卻選擇和傳統共存對 話，而後轉念轉換。」 在
層深意的背後，其基礎觀念來自於《易
經》，「易有太極，是生兩儀。兩儀生四象，四象生八卦」， 從
樣的基礎出發，擴展至千變萬化。鄧卜君基於
樣的概念，以
「加法」作畫， 與傳統中國畫是完全相反的觀念，至於，加什麼？ 如何加？也成為鄧卜君創作的重要課題。 在鄧卜君的作品中，常可看到特殊的山水石景，
點無疑與藝術家
的創作環境有極大關係。花蓮不但是適合居住的好地方，其自然景 致更是獨具特色。比如有石灰岩沖刷出世界地理奇觀的太魯閣， 也有世界最大的潭—七星潭，即太平洋在花蓮海邊形成的月
灣海
岸。鄧卜君說：「雖然太魯閣雄偉壯觀，但我卻注意到七星潭的岸 邊有很多大大小小的石頭—硬砂岩，它沒有石頭紋理，表面有砂的 質感，硬度很高。在我的作品中經常出現，形成獨特的符號， 畫法，姑且稱『搓點皴』，花蓮是借我的手，孕育出
種
種皴法的原
因。」比如作品〈紅石青雲（彼岸系列）〉中，無論是用色或構圖， 截然不同於傳統水墨，雅致的赤青兩色交錯，在墨色背景中延伸向 畫外，簡練結構中，體現一份當代社會的世外桃源寄寓。 畫面構圖或用色雖與傳統水墨大相逕庭，但仍不難看出鄧卜君深厚 的傳統根柢，宛如是在傳統國畫的花園中所長出的奇花異草。他 說：「三十幾年前，一些現代水墨先驅們大喊國畫已死，改革、破
八
壞、丟棄聲浪不斷，我卻在唐、宋、元、明、清的古畫裡，優遊、 耕耘，尋找其本質的特色，再加上新觀念的思想與想像，種下了 顆種子。」如此積累了三十年的功力，一方面繼續鑽研傳統筆墨之 趣，另一方面讓想像力持續奔馳，在畫面中加強了現代的強度與美 感，並每每產生新的花
、新的果實。
曾經有十年的時間，鄧卜君封筆不作畫。至 1996 年開始，才重拾 畫筆，成立莫名堂，並發表「空間山水—石情畫意」。2008 年退 休後，他的創作能量反而更為活躍，展覽接續不綴，2014 年 3 月， 成為紐約蘇富比精選的十六位畫家之一，參與「水墨：夢幻仙境」 特展，足以證明其作品不
在學術上已樹立地位，亦在市場上引發
迴響。 曾有藝評以「現代魔幻水墨」來概括鄧卜君的創作風格，追根究底 「魔幻」二字，其實還是回歸到現實生活的種種靈感。該如何捕 捉生命中閃光一逝的靈感
？鄧卜君說：「當我 2010 年進入專業
畫家領域（職業）後，靈感成為負擔，不可信任。所以我改變了思 維方式與作法，用不斷的充電、搜尋和永無止盡的想像，隨時記錄 和畫草稿，作品就源源不
而來。」藝術必須源自於生活，而又必
須跳脫於生活，觀者才足以感到既親切卻又意想不到，藝術才能真 正達到啟發人心。 目前，鄧卜君說他正以「插頭」哲學過著自在的創作生活，「插頭 插上，不管時間多寡，就進入創作狀態。插頭一拔，該吃飯、睡覺、 休閒玩樂一樣都不少。」近期作品畫面中，透露出他從容不迫而得 心應手的筆法，正如他所言：「從一而終，轉念生變」，讓我們看 到傳統筆墨下，轉念生變的無窮可能，正是
種種之「變」，讓鄧
卜君的創作更為開闊，如此的當代水墨魅力，無疑是相當迷人的。

Faithful to the End. Reflection Gives Rise to Change The Work of Teng Pu-Chun Text / Li Yiyi Editor in Chief, Focus Megazine
Contemporary ink painting has been receiving more and more attention in the last few years. Chinese artists whether those from both sides of the Strait and the Hong Kong or other Asian countries, are presenting extraordinarily interesting characteristics and styles. The artist Teng Pu-Chun, who was born in Hualien and still lives there, works in ink and fuses contemporary and traditional culture to the utmost. His work contains considerable depth, its fantastic composition and extraordinary use of colour exuding a unique ink water charm. Teng says: “I often think, what is the contemporary ink painting? Is it spurning, breaking or reforming tradition? But I've never done that, rather, I've chosen to live with tradition and initiate a dialogue, and then reflected on things and changed.” This basic concept comes from the I Ching: “In the system of Change there is the Great Ultimate. It generates the Two Modes (yin and yang). The Two Modes generate the Four Forms (major and minor yin and yang). The Four Forms generate the Eight Trigrams.”
Beginning from such a foundation, this extends to all changes. Based on such concepts, Teng uses “additive” painting, a concept completely contrary to traditional Chinese painting: add what? How? These have become key issues in Teng's work.
Unique landscapes can often ⁄ seen in Teng's work, and this is undoubtedly related to the artist's working environment. As well as being a great place to live, Hualien's natural scenery is also quite unique. For example, there is Taroko Gorge, where limestone has scoured out a geographic spectacle unlike anything else in the world, and also the world's largest beach, Qixingtan Beach, in the crescent moon-shaped bay where Hualien meets the Pacific Ocean. Teng says: “Although Taroko Gorge is majestic, I noticed
一〇
that Qixingtan Beach has many stones of all sizes which don't have vein lines, have a granular texture, and are very hard. They often appear in my work, forming unique symbols. Such calligraphy is temporarily called 'rolled wrinkle texturing stroke ', Hualien uses my hands to bring forth this type of texturing.” For example, Red Stone and Turquoise Clouds (Far Shore
Series) , clearly diverges from traditional ink painting in both its use of color and its composition. The elegant interplay between red and turquoise extends beyond the painting from the sepia background, the work's simplified structure embodying a contemporary social paradise.
Although there are considerable differences in composition and use of colour between traditional painting and Teng's work, his firm traditional roots are readily apparent in, for example, the exotic plants which spring from the ground in gardens depicted in traditional Chinese paintings. He says, “Thirty years ago, some avant-garde modern ink painters proclaimed that Chinese painting was already dead, reformed, broken, and this clamor never ceased, but I lost myself in paintings from the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, cultivating and searching for their fundamental characteristics, and then added new concepts of thought and imagination, planting this seed.” After thirty years of such labor, continuing to delve into traditional ink painting while simultaneously allowing his imagination to keep expanding has bolstered the contemporary emphasis and ⁄auty of his work, while often ⁄aring new flowers and new fruit.
Teng once stopped working for ten years. It was only in 1996 that he once again took up his brush, founded the Moming Hall, and issued “Space Landscape – Painting for the Love of Rocks”. After retiring in 2008, his capacity for work was revitalized, and expanded relentlessly. In March 2014,
一一
he became one of the sixteen artists selected by Sotheby's in New York to participate in the Shuimo / Water Ink: Enchanted Landscapes special exhibition, which proves that his work had met with a response in the market, rather than having ⁄come established exclusively in academia.
An art critic once summarized Teng's working style as “modern fantasy water ink”, which boils down to the word “fantasy”, which is actually all kinds of inspiration returning to real life. And how should the feeling of life's fleetingness ⁄ captured? Teng says, “After I entered professional painting in 2010, inspiration became a burden, and unreliable. So I changed my way of thinking and acting, constantly recharged and sought endless imagination, taking notes and drawing drafts constantly, and work poured forth.” An artist must ⁄gin from their own life yet must also escape their own life - only an observer can feel that what they see is both familiar and unexpected, and it is only then that an artist can truly enlighten the human heart.
Presently, Teng says that he is living a carefree working life by using the“plug” philosophy: “when you're plugged in you enter a creative state, no matter how long you work. As soon as the plug is removed, eating, sleeping, resting or playing is necessary in the same way.” His unforced, inspired calligraphy is evident in his recent work, as he says: “Faithful to the end, reflection gives rise to change”, allowing us to see the endless possibilities for reflection and change within traditional ink painting. Truly, such “change” has broadened Teng's work, and such contemporary water ink is undeniably enchanting.
