張翠容畫作的現代性
到兩年的時間,感受到她對繪畫的執著與不安的悸動:執著在於多年來執畫筆的心未被歲月 的流逝而磨蝕;不安的悸動在於那份想用畫傳心的意念一直旋繞、與時間競逐。
撰文/張淑英 臺灣大學外文系教授兼文學院副院長
翠容於1990-1993在馬德里大學攻讀繪畫碩士時期,恰為我攻讀文學博士學位的中段時間, 22年來,回溯她從國內國畫的薰陶養成,繼而轉攻西畫(油畫)的訓練和琢磨,其中有一段 艱辛但充實的淬鍊。西班牙繪畫的成就與藝術氛圍讓人生活其境,自然濡染其中。文學和繪 畫的研究閱讀中,文字和視覺藝術的關係原本密切相連,也因此,在翠容這次文學況味頗濃 的畫展中,我從繪畫和文學的角度切入,看待翠容從國畫/化到西畫/化,又從西畫/化融合國 畫/化的追尋與成長,探討這段文/藝的薰陶過程,試圖凝視觀看她的作品中的現代性。
西元前六世紀希臘詩人賽莫尼德斯(Simónides de Ceos)提出「畫是無言詩,詩是有言畫」, 將文學和藝術的關係銜接起來。希臘文的“Ekphrasis / Ecfrasis”(讀畫詩),是「外面」和 「言說」兩個字的結合,一言以蔽之,便是用文字再現視覺藝術。義大利哲學家兼作家艾可 (Umberto
Eco)在《大鼠還是小鼠?翻譯即協商》書中說「當文字文本描寫一部視覺藝術
作品時,傳統經典的詮釋就是“écfrasis”」。這是西方藝術詮釋「詩與畫」的文字文本和視覺 藝術的連結。中國的詩/畫傳統也是不遑多讓,較著名的從東晉謝靈運(385-433)的山水詩 (以山水為背景)到蘇軾(1037-1101)的題畫詩《書摩詰藍田煙雨圖》中稱王維(701-761)

的「詩中有畫,畫中有詩」(以山水為意境),期間已歷經五、六百年時光,更遑論明朝以 降水墨畫中詩畫相互烘托的傳統與盛世了。這當中,蘇軾的〈惠崇春江晚景〉和杜甫的 〈奉 先劉少府新畫山水障歌〉常被視為讀畫詩的經典。因此,不難看出翠容試圖結合中國題畫詩 的經典,佐以西畫的技巧與現代感的冀望。
讀畫詩的意圖或情境在於面對在場或不在場的實物或想像物,諸如圖畫、物件、符號系統, 以文字/詩詞為媒介,詠嘆、書懷、釋情,替視覺接收之物說話,或敘述勾勒其空間,或替繽 紛色彩的畫面增添文學意涵。此次翠容個展的54幅畫,其靈感無疑來自中國詩詞,每一幅畫 均是唯美的詩詞為題,乍看彷彿是逆向操作讀畫詩的路徑,從詩意中布局畫境,從修辭中捕 捉景物,讓它們浮現成形,是從虛到實、從寫意到繪景的脈絡。我們如果以拉丁詩人賀拉西 (Horace)的說詞:「詩就是畫」(“ut pictura poesis”),那麼以文字為基底的這系列畫作也 可以反看做是從實到虛,從詩的「漸進性」到畫的「同時性」,從文字的「可聽」到視覺的 「可看」。因此,欣賞翠容這系列的山水、花草或百鳥珍禽等大地生靈萬物,我們要跳脫 「詩/畫」靈感來源先後的議題,或是先人好辯的好詩好畫能否同步共軌的論述,而直接訴諸 藝術家和畫作的互動與溝通,透過詩畫的情境讓觀者產生什麼樣的共鳴和觸動。更何況,這 些畫作融入了畫家(翠容)的留學逆旅(以異鄉為客棧),生活歷練,旅行見聞,修畫、繪 畫的操作訓練。且從諸多表層的粉白覆蓋油彩的畫面上,彷彿給觀者傳遞了知天命的豁達。 又如,「清風映月」,它不是任何一幅畫的題名,卻又可涵蓋任何一幅畫。清風是景的寫實,

清風映月是虛幻,月是寫意,而清風中有輕風,月影舞輕風,那當下,畫布一番風情入眼 簾,別有一番滋味在心頭,賞畫除了「悟實」,也變成一種心靈釋放和解脫。如同翠容的自 述「筆放心情」—這也是她致力繪出這麼多地景畫作的職志和心願。
這54幅畫作中,簡單可以分為兩組:例如山水風景有《雲氣隨飛龍》、《嵯峨俯瞰漓江 水》、《秋山明淨》、《水路風光氣象龐》、《多少樓臺煙雨中》、《浮煙翠且重》、《渾 同萬馬直奔騰》…等等,蒼嶺山水,靉靆白雲,詩/畫的動/靜彼此交替。另一組花草鳥禽則 有《窗含西嶺千秋雪》,《花潭竹嶼傍幽蹊》,《紅蠟枝頭雙燕小》,《白頭已上枝》, 《高節禪枝宿眾鳥》,《江深竹靜兩三家》,《前溪後嶺萬蒼松》…等等,尤其《曾為梅花 醉似泥》,《白頭已上枝》,整幅看來,具象景物飄渺迷幻,悠然輕盈,但局部切割細分, 則可以看出當中一筆一畫色彩濃度厚實,各種繪畫材混合使用,細部畫工豐盈。這些畫中有 許多不同色彩的鳥禽家族,小則富貴,大則大度,豐富了畫作的題材和變化。山水花鳥在中 國繪畫裡恆常象徵高風亮節、品格情操,翠容在這些象徵雅緻的符號系統中,透過現代繪畫 的素材和技法,試圖傳遞恬靜和閑適的氛圍,活潑中見優雅。
從現代西畫的角度看,翠容這系列的畫作類似十九世紀西語文學運動裡「現代主義」的些許 風潮,當時文人(畫)師法法國的象徵主義和高蹈派詩學,吟詩如作畫譜曲,需有音樂性, 西班牙的馬奴葉‧馬恰多(Manuel Machado)就是典型的例子。現代主義詩畫中,受到日本

Breeze Dancing in the Moonlight The Modernity of Tsui-Jung Chang’s Solo Exhibition
It is a pleasure to see Tsui-Jung Chang’s second solo exhibition be held in Taiwan. Since her first solo exhibition Mirror of the Heart in the January of 2011, her persistent but yet disturbed passion for arts has been felt in the past two years: she has been persistent for that she never puts down the brush regardless of the passing of time, while she has been disturbed for that she never gives up the idea to paint her thoughts as if she is trying to stop the time.
Article / Luisa Shu-Ying Chang Professor in the Department of Foreign Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures / Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at National Taiwan University
From 1990 to 1993, Tsui-Jung Chang had studied at University of Complutense Madrid to pursue her Master degree in Fine Arts, while I was also in the middle of my Ph.D studies in Literature. For 22 years, she has suffered difficulties and challenges while experiencing the transition from Chinese painting, where she started her artistic practice in Taiwan, to Western painting (oil painting). The development of Spanish painting can never be separate from its way of living, through which artists naturally become part of it. Furthermore, there is a closely connected relationship between the studies of literature and the studies of painting – a visual art practice. Therefore, I attempt to discuss Tsui-Jung Chang’s solo exhibition, which is full of literary aesthetics, from the perspectives of both literature and painting, exploring the transformation from the traditional Chinese painting to the Westernized painting. Through the combination of both, I further discuss how she has developed a new style which embraces both literature and visual art. Eventually, my gaze leads me to the modernity of her works.
The Greek lyric poet Simónides de Ceos, who lived during the 6th-5th centuries BC, has once described painting as “silent poetry” and poetry as “painting that speaks.” As how Simónides de Ceos bridged literature and visual art, the Greek word “Ekphrasis/Ecfrasis,” combines the words
6
Breeze under the Moonlight
“out (ek)” and “phrasis (speak),” referring to the written description of a visual work of art. The Italian philosopher, essayist, and novelist Umberto Eco has also described that “when written words describe a visual work of art, the interpretation of the classical tradition can be regarded as ”écfrasis” in the book Mouse or Rat?: Translation as negotiation. It is how Western art explains the connection between poetry and painting – the written words and the visual works of art. One can find similar example in the Chinese tradition of “poetry-painting:” the famous ones include the East Jin Dynasty poet Xie Ling-yun's (385-433) “landscape poetry” (featuring landscape as its background) and Su Shi’s (1037-1101) poem inscribed on the painting Mojie's Picture of Misty Rain at Lantian, which describes Wang Wei’s works as that “there is painting in his poetry, and poetry in his painting” (featuring landscape as its spirit). From Xie Ling-yun to Su Shi, nearly six hundred years have passed.
Lost in the Plum Blossom 2011 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 40F
Eventually, the Chinese tradition of
“poetry-painting” in ink wash painting reached its climax in the Ming Dynasty. Among these works, Su Shi’s An Evening Scene on a Spring River and Du Fu’s The Newly Painted Landscape Screen by District Defender Liu of Feng Xian are often regarded as the classics of “Ekphrasis poetry.” Therefore, one might easily notice how Tsui-Jung Chang intends to combine the classics of Chinese poems inscribed on paintings with the technique and the modernity in Western painting.
The motif or the situation of “ekphrasis poetry” depends on how one deals with the existing or the imagined regardless of its presence of absence. These mentioned above – including images, objects, or symbols – are re-visualized, expressed, depicted, and felt through written words/poetry. The colorful images are thus added some literary touch while the words speak for the visual images or attempt to depict the real spaces. Undoubtedly, we can clearly identify the inspiration from Chinese poetry in the 54 paintings in Tsui-Jung Chang’s solo exhibition. The title of each painting seems to be a beautifully written phrase culled from a poem as if the artist is trying to reverse the poetry-painting relationship in “ekphrasis poetry” – Chang visualizes the scene from the poetic expression and captures the images from the literary description, through which a visual world has emerged. It is a journey from the imagined to the existing, from the impression to the representation. “As is painting so is poetry (ut pictura poesis),” as how the
The Two Small Swallows on the Branch 2012 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 40F
Latin poet Horace states it. Similarly, this series of paintings with written words as the base can also be taken as the transition from the existing to the imagined, from the “progressive” poetry to the “simultaneous” painting, and finally from the “audible” words to the “visible” images. Therefore, when we look at the landscape, the flowers, the birds, and the creatures in Tsui-Jung Chang’s paintings, we have to free ourselves from the discussion of whether it is poetry
7
ESSAY Breeze Dancing in the Moonlight
influences painting or the other way around. It is also not our concern to continue the ancient philosophers’ argument of whether it is possible for poetry and painting to follow the same pace and to co-exist with each other.
Instead, we should focus on the interaction and the
communication between the artist and the artworks, exploring how viewers are moved by the scenes in the poetry-paintings. Furthermore, the artist’s life experiences in a foreign country as a stranger (while she studied abroad) are also included in these paintings, in which Chang sincerely shares with us what she has seen, what she has experienced, where she has traveled, and how she continued her artistic practice in the area of painting. Topped with layers of pink white, the oil paints on the canvas seem to deliver a divine message, telling viewers to follow the natural rules without worries. “Breeze under the Moonlight” is not a title of any painting, but it captures the spirit of every painting. The breeze exists in the reality, but the breeze under the moonlight is merely the reflection, soft and clear, while the shadow of the moon dances with it. At this moment, the image in our gaze seems to be alive, inviting viewers to open up all five senses to Clouds of Water Vapor 2011 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 12P
taste it. When we look into a painting, we are not looking at the “representation” but a way to set out hearts free. As mentioned in Tsui-Jung Chang’s artistic statement, what she keeps pursuing is that “the artistic beauty which reveals the poetic essence” – it is why she devotes her life to landscape painting.
These 54 paintings can be categorized into two sections: the landscape paintings such as Clouds of Water Vapor, Water Vapor above the River, Mountains with
Autumn Colors, Beautiful
Landscape of Flowing Water, Water Vapor Bring Rain, Water Vapor above the Mountain, Waterfall Scenery, and several others, feature misty mountains and heavy clouds as emphasized by the juxtaposition between poetry and painting – the co-existence between the moving and the still; the bird-and-flower paintings, including Xiling Snow Mountain Outside the Window, Bamboo Forest on Island, The Two Small Swallows on the Branch, Chinese Bulbul Perched on a Branch, The Branch Sheltering the Birds, Household in Quiet Bamboo Forest, Pine Trees on Hill, and many others, feature the contrast between the misty visualized scenes which seem to be seen from the clouds and the realistic touch in the details which are meticulously painted with various colors and strokes – with Lost in the Plum Blossom and Chinese Bulbul Perched on a Branch as two particular examples.

honest. They all together enrich the subjects and the artistic expressions of the paintings. In traditional Chinese paintings, landscape paintings and bird-and-flower paintings always represent elegance, honor, and integrity. Adopting these symbols of merits, Tsui-Jung Chang
Breeze under the Moonlight
captures the peaceful and yet pleasant atmosphere through the techniques and the materials in modern painting, creating a world both elegant and lively.
From the perspective of modern Western painting, Tsui-Jung Chang’s series paintings share certain resemblance of the modernist movement in Spanish literature happened in the 19th Century. Following the Symbolist movement and the Parnassianism in France, the Spanish artists and intellects during that period of time emphasized the musicality of poetry. The poems they wrote were treated like music pieces or paintings. The Spanish artist Manuel Machado was one of the examples. Meanwhile, the modernist poetry-painting was under the influence of Japanese culture. With the “oriental fever” sweeping through Europe, the blurry boundary between the Japanese culture and the Chinese culture stirred the imagination of an exotic land. Therefore, while the landscape and the bird-and-flower became the major themes in poetry-painting, “ekphrasis poetry” again reached its climax. In Tsui-Jung Chang’s 54 paintings, the black-and-white which is greatly used in ink-wash painting has been replaced by various oil paints. The different textures and qualities of oil paintings help create a brand new visual effect to the same landscape or the same bird-and-flower – “to fix the gaze.” This exhibition is different from Chang’s previous solo exhibition which was included several surrealistic paintings. Surrealism always provides writers/painters and readers/viewers with an emotion combining surprise and anxiety, no matter it is a literary work or a painting, and regardless of its theme and
Xiling Snow Mountain Outside the Window 2012 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 100M
spirit. Take the famous 20th-Century Spanish poets Federico García Lorca and Rafael Alberti from 1927 for examples; they painted, and they also wrote poems, though they seldom painted and wrote at the same time. Nevertheless, in their surrealistic poetry-painting works, one could never separate painting from poetry or the other way around – it seems that they were created together. They both liked painting birds – the disturbed and anxious birds represented the desire for freedom. The two sections in Tsui-Jung Chang’s solo exhibition include the wild unrestrained landscape and the delicately depicted bird – which might be regarded as the main theme of the paintings. These joyful and innocent birds show their great aspirations, as if they are suggesting that Tsui-Jung Chang, who is reaching her prime as an artist with the inheritance of both Chinese painting and Western painting, will indeed lead us toward a new horizon.

國立藝專畢業後,張翠容與同窗郭江宋結褵,並且一前一後遠赴西班牙馬德里大學藝術學院 繼續研讀藝術創作,郭江宋成為台灣首位獲得繪畫修復與保存學位的專業修復師,而在那裡 幾年的訓練下來,讓張翠容最為受用的莫過於繪畫材料學一門,從顏料製作、畫布打底、內 框製作、裝裱等事宜,全都可以不假他人一手包辦。1993年張翠容返台之後,選擇了夫唱婦 隨的生活,暫時將創作放下,全心投入畫作修復的工作,讓受到不同程度損壞的畫作得以 「妙手回春」。也是如此,讓她有機會在這些年遍賞眾多中外名家的創作,而且還是從最內 裡開始看起,因而更能揣摩不同藝術家的創作技法與美學思惟。

夫婿郭江宋遂支持張翠容重拾畫筆,而這段特殊的體驗也讓她在創作上平添了更多自信與把 握。為了追求畫面的肌理與厚度,同時利於作品長久保存,張翠容易水墨為油彩、壓克力顏 料,在2011年舉辦了首次油畫創作個展,並獲得了來自各方面的諸多鼓勵。

誠然,乍看之下觀者或許會覺得不少作品的畫面構成似乎與傳統工筆花鳥繪畫頗見雷同之 處,但實則張翠容筆下所描繪者,幾乎無一不是取材自生活所見,而非單純挪用援引既定的 模式或套路。舉例來說,她畫室有著經常有八哥鳥飛來停駐啼叫,久而久之就留下了一個清 晰的形象,自然地出現在她的畫面中。為了描繪風竹,她特別跑到新竹的海邊去觀看那隨風 飄動的竹韻,藉以描繪出生命所經歷的滄桑與面對困境時的堅韌,又如春日到來,只見稚鳥 羽翼漸豐卻仍不敢離巢過遠,或只能等候母鳥餵食,或輕移腳步深怕墜跌等等之情狀,都是

經過她反覆深刻的觀察之後所感知,進而抓住某一個時間點的感動,藉以表達其內在的審美 旨趣與文化情感。
遍觀張翠容此次展覽,不難發現所有作品的名稱都來從傳統詩詞中摘句而得,所欲追求的不 外乎是「畫中有詩」的境界,亦即所謂的託物以寄情言志。觀者在欣賞畫作的同時咀嚼前人 詩句,或許對於傳統文化所謂「意在言外」的概念會有更深一步的理解和體悟。由於竹子象 徵著文人清雅脫俗、胸懷坦蕩的情操與氣質,再加上她對竹的百般姿態了然於胸,遂成為不 同作品中點題的不可或缺的最佳主角。如《洗來疏淨見前峰》一作,採取竹枝憑空橫伸而 出,貫透整個畫面的作法看來雖然大膽,卻是她家中庭院所種沙勒綠竹(又稱之為藤竹,杆 纖細而多成攀援狀)自然生長成如是形貌的真實紀錄,不免讓人讚嘆造化可師之處固然多 矣,然而藝術家注重物態的形神特徵,嚴謹生動地將之轉化到作品之中,方能把生活情趣與 思想境界加以延伸傳播。而在背景的處理上,張翠容則刻意先用自動技法任顏料揮灑流動, 營造出猶如水墨暈染的抽象效果,隱然一座座遠山聳立眼前,與一絲不苟的物象描繪形成動 靜之間的強烈對比,使得作品充滿更多的躍動與層次。
《江深竹靜兩三家》一作以傳統書畫聯屏的方式展開,每幅既可視為獨立的創作,相互之間 又可見些微的關連,在此,張翠容將不同種類、身形的鳥類並置在作品之中,或直立站在竹 幹,或從花間俯首下看,均饒富多姿;雖未開口啼叫,卻已巧妙地組成大自然的多重合奏樂

One Fine Day Article / Chang Li-Hao Independent Curator and Art Critic
The topic of this essay borrows from the title of Dong Qiao’s book, One Fine Day. In it, the author writes about his collection of a Feng Zi-Kai work: a fan with a painting on it that featured a family sweeping the floor and preparing tea in front of their house. On it, the words, “one fine day, or perhaps it will be disturbed by others,” are inscribed, fully revealing the desires of a simple life. In fact, the pursuit of relaxation in daily life has been the topic of choice for expressing feelings of self worth throughout history. With the popularization of education and a substantial increase in intellectual elites during the Ming and Qing Dynasty, those who had successful careers and saw through the political distress of their times not only wanted to achieve secular wealth and fame, but also wanted to find interests, values, and meaning in life. Later, this became the most important pursuit. The notion, “avoid secularism and embrace elegance” became the new definition of success for this generation of elites. With that said, what exactly is secular and what is elegant? The Zunsheng Bajian (Eight Discourses on the Art of Living), an encyclopedia compiled by Gao Lian (1573 to 1620) during the Wanli period, provides a better glimpse at the culture and spirit of that era.
The Zunsheng Bajian’s first volume of Yan Xian Qing Shang Jian (Leisurely Appreciation Commentary) states the following:
16
Breeze under the Moonlight
Confucius said that, Those not wanting to hunt or not endowed with strong physique can escape secularism and fame to live an idle life. Those who are idle can live off the scraps of others to live a life of complacency.
Then what is leisure and gaming
according to a noble one? Those who know how to leisure can cultivate and enlighten themselves, as well as lead a salubrious life, making them true free men. I am addicted to free time, and to finding elegance in ancient arts. Engage in ancient studies and Tang Yu disciplines. Pursue all things ancient and live a life of stateliness. Embrace, respect, and pursue an arched shoe or a Qiyang drum. Put away the sword, armor, and bow to rise to the top. Embrace the law of nature and a king’s stage of mind will come
The Peak Looming up after Rains 2012 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 120F
naturally. Find what is different and interesting. What else can leisure be than to please the senses? During free time, I drink wine, practice calligraphy, collect jade antique, use the study, and cultivate myself. Referencing what is lacking today and in the past, I learn to leisure. From what one sees and hears; from what one knows. Every detail requires insight. It is like the incense of a guqin or the cultivation of flowers or bamboo. Luxury is not only for the privileged. The old gardener has his ways for finding joy. Sit by the ancient bell, practice some music, and hang some calligraphy in the villa. From the study, one can enjoy wafts of aroma flowing through the window, feast one’s eyes on beautiful flowers, and drink water and eat the clouds. This is enough to make a person forget the days of being hungry.
Crisp jade washes away all
announces in life. What can beat such joys? 1
This foreword consciously and intimately combines creations with incense, lute, inscriptions on bronze and stone tablets, and the planting of flowers and bamboo. In this manner, the specific content referred to by the term, “leisure,” is effectively fleshed out, opening up a style and attitude of life that is both intellectual and aesthetic in nature and becoming a sign of mutual recognition amongst literati. Even in light of the rapid pace of scientific development today, a similar pursuit can actually still be observed in many various activities, such as in currently popular experiences as “one day as a farmer” or “work exchange” programs. Tsui-Jung Chang has chosen to invoke this pursuit in her works, enabling viewers to feel the gentle breezes and bright moons within her paintings along with a sense of tranquility and well-being from bamboo images.

ESSAY One Fine Day
Returning to the Brush ∙ Regaining a Sense of Confidence Born into a family of farmers, Tsui-Jung Chang grew up in Nantou Jhusan, an area surrounded by mountains and wondrous scenery. As a result, she doodled her vast knowledge of birds, insects, and plants onto paper during her childhood.
Much like others who choose to pursue art
professionally, she was fortunate enough to receive the support of her family. She entered Jhushan High School Art Classes to receive a formal art education, and was later admitted to National Taiwan Academy of Art with excellent grades. The Beauty of Branches and Leafs 2012 Mixed Media on Linen 40F
Her mentor, Huang Kuang-Nan,
specialized in traditional flower and bird painting and calligraphy. However, she did not find the resources she needed from the school. As a result, she took it upon herself to search for examples from which she could learn in compilations and albums of paintings. With a deep respect for nature and an increased focus on sketching, she utilizes a combination of fine and freehand brushwork to create poetic realms reminiscent of those by bird painting masters of the Southern Song dynasty. Additionally, she integrates the precision of Western realism techniques into Chinese painting to pursue objects of interest. Qing Dynasty painters and the Western missionary-painter, Giueseppe Castiglione (1688-1766) all became more meaningful mentors to guide in her artistic pursuits.
After graduating from National Taiwan Academy of Art, Chang married her classmate, Chiang-Sung Kuo. One after the other, they enrolled in the school of art at The Complutense University of Madrid to continue their study of art. Kuo later became the first professional restorer in Taiwan to have received a degree in painting restoration and preservation. In the training she received those years, Chang was able to benefit the most from classes on painting materials, such as those involving pigment production, canvas preparation, inner frame construction, mounting, and other topics, which she all tackled without the help of others. After returning to Taiwan in 1993, Chang settled down and focused on her marriage life.
She
temporarily stopped creating art, and devoted herself completely to the work of restoring paintings. Paintings suffering from all sorts of damage were able to be “brought back to life through the magic of her hands.” And, from her experiences during these years, she was able to admire and work with a number of paintings by both Chinese and foreign artists. Even more, she took an innermost perspective to try to better identify the creative techniques and aesthetic pondering of various artists.

Breeze under the Moonlight
The couple’s home and studio in Xindian features a large floor-to-ceiling window that provides a view to a garden of bamboo that she carefully planted over the years. In addition to helping relieve feelings of homesickness, this expansive scenery continuously changes along with the seasons, providing them with an excellent form of entertainment during times of leisure. Perhaps, this embodies the non-secular pursuits of the Ming and Qing literati mentioned above to avoid vulgarity and seek refinement within life. Now, after more than decades of hard work, the couple’s painting restoration business has finally stabilized. Kuo, her husband, now supports Chang’s return to working with the brush. This special experience has also provided her with more confidence and a deeper understanding of creating art. To achieve the desired texture and thickness to her images, she draws upon her substantial experience in preserving paintings.
Purification 2012 Mixed Media on Linen 64.2×86.8cm
Chang often uses ink paint in place of oil and acrylic paint materials. In 2011, she held her first solo exhibition of oil paintings, and garnered much encouragement from various levels of the art community.
Sketching Nature ‧ Tracing Objects of Interest Perhaps her creative desires had been hidden away for too long of a time. After finally receiving a chance to invoke her talent, Chang focused her entire energy on creating art over the last two years, accumulating a significant number of works. Many of her friends have expressed deep admiration for her exuberant creative energy.
In “Breeze under the Moonlight - A Solo
Exhibition by Tsui-Jung Chang”, a total of fifty-four works were on display whose themes transcend those of birds and flowers to places where she has traveled over the years, such as Huangshan of China, Hehuan Shan and Hsueh Shan of Taiwan, and other various high peaked mountains. Following the “seek wondrous mountain peaks to sketch” spirit of predecessors, she opens and presents vast scenes through painstakingly careful brush strokes.
Without a doubt, viewers, at first glance, may find resemblances to traditional bird and flower paintings within the composition of many of her images. However, the objects depicted by Chang’s brush, almost without exception, are taken from things that she sees in her own life. They are not simply appropriated and referred to to establish a pattern or routine. For example, mynah birds frequently fly into her studio to perch and sing. Over a period of time, they left behind a clear image that naturally appeared in her paintings. To depict bamboos drifting in the
19
ESSAY One Fine Day
wind, she specially went to the beach in Hsinchu to observe the movement of sails waving in the wind. This helped her portray the vicissitudes she experienced in life and the tenacity she invoked during times of hardship. Yet, with the arrival of spring, one only sees young birds who do not dare leave the nest too far, or wait for their mother to come feed them, or carefully inch forward afraid to fall down.
By repeatedly conducting observations and reflecting on her
perceptions, she seizes the sense to a particular moment in time to express an intrinsic aesthetic Yellow Birds Singing
experience and cultural sentiment.
2012 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 30M
Viewing this exhibition by Chang, it is it not hard to notice that most of the works are named after ancient sayings, and that the works themselves pursue a realm of “poetic imagery.” They express the aspirations of the artist. When viewing their images, one is also pleasantly confronted with ancient poetry. It can be said that by looking at these works, one can gain a better understanding of the notion, “the meaning is implied,” which is inherent to traditional culture. Since bamboo is a symbol of a literati elegance devoid of secularism, it holds the temperament of a magnanimous mind. In addition, the various guises of bamboo in her paintings are an expression of the soul, making them an indispensable focus of her works. For example, in the work, The Peak Looming up after Rains, bamboo extends into the image from all sides. Although such an approach to the depiction of bamboo might seem bold, it is, in fact, an accurate depiction of the schaller bamboo that grows in the artist’s yard. One cannot help but stand in awe of nature’s many guises when seeing these images. Yet, the artist focuses on capturing the natural essence of a particular state or object, endowing the images with rigor and vividness. Only by doing so are interests in life and the realm of thought propagated. In handling the background, Chang intentionally uses automatic techniques to let paint drizzle and flow over the canvas, creating abstract effects with ink smudges. Looming ahead, a mountain forms a strong contrast between motion and static states when placed alongside meticulously painted details. This adds an extra layer of dynamism to the work.
The work, Household in Quiet Bamboo Forest, is composed of a series of paintings, which can also stand alone by themselves. Yet, it is their subtle associations that make the connection between them apparent.
Chang paints many species of birds in various guises that appear
throughout the works. Some are standing on a bamboo branch, while some are looking down from amidst flowers. These make for a memorable scene. Although the birds are just images on
20
Breeze under the Moonlight
The Drizzling Rain 2011 Acrylic and Oil on Linen 107.3x176cm
a canvas, one can almost hear their chirping in a symphony of nature. One cannot help but imagine the leisurely lives enjoyed by the households that once resided in this scene. Within the work, The Beauty of Branches and Leafs, the artist includes her favorite garden furnishing - an eroded piece of exquisite limestone. Placed amidst egrets and a dense bamboo forest, it forms an interesting composition that evokes the literati imagery of “Mi Fu honors the stone.” Furthermore, we can notice how Chang does not impose restrictions on herself. She cleverly transforms symbolic or conventional icons of traditional culture by imbuing them with a modern meaning. Purification features a vase holding a fiery red crown vetch. The artist painted them as an impressionistic depiction of a cockscomb. Furthermore, Chang adds glitter to the painting to enhance its visuals. A traditional symbol of festivity springs to life on the paper. The Drizzling Rain is simply a portrayal of modern life. For Chang, the windows of her home are like a stage on which nature performs. Sounds of wind and rain provide musical effects. The birds shuttling amidst the greenery make for the best actors on this stage. Think about it... For most of us living amidst the hubbub of city life, why wouldn’t we want to try to experience “one fine day, or perhaps it will be disturbed by others”?
