超驗與象徵-台灣新造形藝術展

興起於一九六○年代的現代繪畫運動,受到美國抽象繪畫 的影響,透過解構形象、追求造形及對幾何內涵的持續探 索,建立深具前衛及實驗精神的藝術形式,為台灣戰後美 術的現代化跨出最重要的一步。抽象觀念影響甚鉅,非僅 及於油畫,如水墨、版畫、陶瓷、雕塑或建築等,亦對其 產生不同程度的回應。隨著媒材、技法及觀念的擴充,迄 於八○年代,此種新興藝術已成為台灣現代藝壇主流,以 及最足與國際社會接軌的代表。 去除形象,探索造形、材質、構成等的獨立美學價值與超 越感官的精神性,已成為抽象藝術最重要的目標。同時, 象徵其對學院、傳統、官方勢力批判的心靈奮鬥結果。形 式取代內容、意念超越言說,絕對而自由、自主而不孤立,

Introduction

American abstract painting had a profound impact upon the modern art movement that reached its height in the 1960s. The movement continued to explore the shape and geometry by deconstructing images. It was the most important step in the modernization of fine arts in the post-war Taiwan that resulted in the appearance of avant-garde and other experimental art forms. Abstraction had a huge influence not only on oil painting, but also on ink painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, and even architecture. Neoplastic art became the mainstream of modern art in Taiwan and prevailed in the art scene until the 1980s. It supported the expansion of mediums, techniques and ideas, and also benefited the integration into international community. Eliminating an image and exploring the shape, materials, structure and other independent aesthetic values was the most important goal of abstract art. Simultaneously it struggled with critical views from academics, traditionalists and officials. In modern abstract art the form replaced the content, the thoughts and ideas exceeded the descriptions; absolute and unrestrained, independent and un-isolated, tangible yet intangible, physical and mental became the main qualities. The five artists, Chao Chung-Hsiang (1910-1991), Chu Ko (1931-2011), Richard Lin (1933-2011), Lee Chung-Chung (b. 1942) and Tsong Pu (b. 1947), whose works are on display in this exhibition, represent three different generations of the development of abstract art in post-war Taiwan. Despite very different backgrounds, their creative motivations and artistic achievements were the same. In terms of painting style, pre-war Fauvism gave up its positions to expressionism, surrealism, geometric abstractionism, absolutism, minimalism, neoplasticism, structuralism, and other -isms. The use of mediums has also expanded to semi-automatic techniques, ready-made objects, collage, rubbing, mixed media, and installations. These artists jointly constructed diverse appearances of neoplastic art in post-war Taiwan.

維繫於一念與 一線之間 趙春翔的藝術如是觀

評論

在西潮東漸的衝擊震撼下,中國藝術家始終未能逃避兩項 關鍵課題:一則是處於社會丕變、時局動盪的更迭中,徘 徊搖擺於傳統守成與革命創新兩條殊途之問,另一則是掙 扎平衡於本土與國際認同間的嚴重落差。 第一批立命海外的中國現代藝術家當中,有別於趙無極、 朱德群主採油畫形式表現以及常玉、丁雄泉鍾情描寫西方

謝佩霓

高雄市立美術館前館長

題材,一樣長年在歐美現代藝壇主戰場上;嘗試以「中體 西用」力爭一席之地的趙春翔,以「具象與抽象結合、內 容與形式並重的獨特風格」,綜合創建出獨樹一幟的兼容 藝術,從而贏得了「不古不今,亦古亦今。不中不西,亦 中亦西」的盛譽肯定。 根據趙春翔本人在 1975 年於紐約發表的創作自述得悉, 他終生奉行不渝的思想圭臬,係得自國學大師張默生真傳 的「儒、釋、道的哲學精要,尤其是老子、莊子的哲學」, 甚而堅信「支配中國四千六百年人文思想發展的唯一主要 動力,是易經」。基於這樣的理念出發,影響所及不唯僅 在其倫理觀、道德觀和宇宙觀而已,具體呈現於畫作上時, 則是貫徹「去甚、去奢、去泰」的作法,講求均衡相對的 「中庸之道」,並視「仁」當為藝術的最終目的與最高境 界。因此德國苟柏 (R. Goepper) 教授以「中學為體,西學 為用」總結趙春翔:「雖然趙先生早已成為現代國際繪畫 藝 壇 中 的 一 員, 但 由 於 他 具 有 強 烈 的 中 國 社 會 的 傳 統 觀 念,他本質上是一個中國畫家。」 視以上綜合的中國人文思想為前導,趙春翔「以東方藝術 為經,以西方藝術為緯」,標榜透過比較剖析、研習判斷 所得的菁華從事水墨繪畫,與西方現代藝術互為砥礪、表 裡。儘管趙春翔頗能領略西方藝術精髓。有論者甚至以為 他 與 眾 不 同 之 處, 在 於「 學 到 不 折 不 扣 的 西 方 藝 術 的 精 神 」, 不 過 他 雖 然 主 張 不 「 胸 有 成 竹 」、 放 棄「 意 在 筆 先」,但顯然同時師法自然無為,追求「不以形似,但求 神似」的形而上意境,落筆於當下,而「潑墨」的格調則 渾然自成。 在諸多探究趙春翔在藝術形式上的特徵之論述中,筆者認 為當以莊申教授於 1992 年發表的〈德沛宇宙〉一文最見 雄圖。莊教授按梅瑟( T. M. Messer )所著之《理代大師繪 畫精選》一書所輯錄的圖片判定,早在 1963 年便在畫中

04


出現同心圓的趙春翔,比史底拉 (F. Stella) 、凱利 (E. Kelly) 足足早了三、四年。筆者同意莊申的觀察:「趙春翔的同 心圓的表現不像史底拉所畫的同心圓那麼富幾何性」,因 此寧可傾向於將之與諾蘭德 (K . Noland) 畫中「寫意式」 的彩色同圓類比。莊申又認為,「特別值得注意的,他(趙 春翔)所選擇的顏色,大致不外紅、黃、綠、藍、白等五 種」,乃受自凱利「五色光譜」的影響。筆者則希望在此 提出,這個特徵應與諾蘭德的色彩同心圓相較更為適當。 不過與其如此順應西方文脈爬梳,倒不妨視此五色為傳統 國畫設色使用的基本原色。 就趙春翔在畫面構成,線條的表現而論,固然可以與馬諦 斯 (H. Matisse) 、畢卡索 (P. Picasso) 、米羅 ( J. Miro) 、達比 埃斯 (A. Tapies) 、蘇拉吉 (P. Soulages) 、克萊因 (F. Kline) 、 德 庫 寧 (W. de Kooning) 、 史 底 拉、 紐 曼 (B. Newman) 、 羅 斯柯 (M. Rothko) 等人的藝術形式相呼應,對照出趙氏置 身 於 立 體 主 義、 野 獸 派、 超 現 實 主 義、 非 形 象 藝 術、 抽 象 表 現 主 義、 行 動 繪 畫、 色 域 繪 畫 及 硬 邊 繪 畫 一 連 串 的 衝 擊 下, 所 陶 冶 出 的 實 際 回 應。 至 於 趙 春 翔 廣 為 人 知 的 點彩 (Tachist) 畫風,溯及米羅、陸易斯 (M. Louis) 、阿雷 欽 斯 基 (P. Alechinsky) 、 法 蘭 西 斯 (S. Francis) 、 波 洛 克 ( J.

Pollock) 的啟發,自然也無可厚非。 至今有關趙春翔的評述,泰半停留在探討其水墨技法的階 段。相對地,筆者則遺憾地發現,吾人在檢視兼容東西的 趙氏風格的流變之時,往往過度側重指陳來自西方大師的 影 響, 反 倒 輕 忽 了 他 畫 中 已 賦 與 了 時 代 性 的 中 國 東 方 成 份,更遑論趙春翔與中國當代藝術家相交遊而交互影響留 下的痕跡。 美國學者魏赫斯勒 (J. Wechsler) 在評趙氏專文中,剴陳西方 藝術家,如何對於闖入西方古抽象表現主義的藝術家謁力否 定,「認為他們只是西方創意的拙劣模仿者。這實際上是對 自已無知的一種諷刺」。這般直指盲點的諍言,的確發人深 省。是否因為執著而視而不見,致使我們寧可向現代的西方 追本溯源,而失去了本身固有菁華對話的能力?譬如以上提 及的形式特徵,與其光是以西方現代大師為象度,牽引出趙 春翔藝術表現的相位,我們何不逕行肯定東方抽象藝術的經 典代表一特別是講究行雲流水的行書和筆墨酣暢淋漓的草 書,無疑也是潤澤趙氏滴線,點彩作風之所由出?

評論

回溯前提色彩繽紛的同心圓,晚期經常出現的彩色漩渦,

1966 年 偏 愛 的 填 色 渾 園 球 體 等 造 型, 的 確 可 引 發 與 諾 蘭 德、封塔那 (L. Fontana) 《鑽孔》系列中的厚塗大漩渦, 苟特里伯 (A. Gottlieb) 《爆炸》系列的當然聯想。但是若 以趙春翔承襲的中國象徵性思想觀點思之,則不如直接回 溯至趙氏嚮往自然的道家信仰。如此一來,與西方似曾相 識、如影隨形的從屬關係迎刃而解;大漩渦可以作大爆炸

(Big Bang) 後的渾沌初開觀,同心圓成可直喻為天體運行 的軌跡、磁場,而球型則不啻是言簡筆賅地再現「天圓地 方」的古老信念。 始於擬象式的思考,付諸寓言式的形態,趙春翔之所以能 夠同獲東、西方人士的青睞,可以歸功於其掌握宇宙原型、 人類共相,嫻熟併用以實相、具象入畫,激起觀者主、客 觀記憶,情感投射的共嗚。不論是花鳥蟲魚、風林山水、 乃至於人面、紅燭、均是寓意深長、無分古今中西的象徵 符號。誠然,趙春翔的型符,之於中國人,更具備了「文 化圖騰」的認同吸引力:蓮、竹、瓜、籐、鳥、燭、莫不 均是蘊藏無限生命力與節慶意味的恆久象徵。 他 的 畫 因 借 物、 比 喻 抒 發, 因 此 愈 看 愈 有 趣, 處 處 皆 藏 意 義, 端 視 觀 者 執 何 一 端。 譬 如 他 酷 愛 畫 的 鳥、 既 有 畢 卡 索、 馬 諦 斯、 米 羅、 布 拉 克 (G. Braque) 的 自 在 歡 愉, 也有石濤、八大山人、林風眠的寫意抒情。他的鳥是「天 命 玄 鳥 」, 是 莊 子 的 大 鵬, 是 感 恩 的 慈 鳥, 也 可 能 是 男 體 的 象 徵。 悠 遊 於 中 西 共 通 的 具 象 符 號 之 中 全 無 阻 隔 趙 春 翔 即 興 恣 意 而 為, 卻 能 跳 脫 刻 板 而 逸 趣 橫 生, 可 謂 現 代中國藝術家中僅見。 趙春翔中西互見的藝術裡,蘊含的不只是現代的西方和古 典的東方而已。或因師承或因相交遊或因置身異域的共同 命運使然,在他一生中不同階段與之過從甚密的當代中國 現代藝術家彼此互動的成份,也在其個人藝術成型的過程 中,留下或多或少的遺跡。他滿盈著地一生遊走三大洲間 的藝術行旅所得,「海納百川成其大」,因而成就了廣闊 的藝術格局。在一筆力透紙背之際,彙結出縱貫古今東西、 穿越時空而自成天地。在他成就了他個人「自我完美的宇 宙」之餘,趙春翔也為我們營造出了一座人間「玄妙的精 神天堂」。

With the impact of the spread of Western and Eastern culture, Chinese artists have been unable to escape two key issues. One was the alternation between civil unrest and a changing society, hovering between the two different paths: traditionalism and revolutionary innovation. The other was the struggle with balancing the serious gap between local and international recognition. Among the first group of Chinese modern artists that went overseas was Chao Chung-Hsiang. Chao’s style differed from that of Chao Wou-Ki and Chu TehChun, who mainly depicted in the form of oil painting, and Sanyu and Walasse Ting, who was in favor of illustrating Western themes. Like them, Chao has held his place in the European and American modern art scene for many years. Striving to make a name for himself by using “Eastern Foundation with Western Thinking”, Chao had a unique style that “combined the figurative and abstract in both content and form.” He won the honored recognition of “It is neither ancient nor modern, yet both ancient and modern. It is neither Eastern nor Western, yet both Eastern and Western.” According to Chao’s statement proclaimed in 1975, his unwavering lifelong model of thought came from Chinese studies of Master Zhang Mo-Sheng’s “essentials of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism philosophy, especially the philosophy of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu”. Chao even believed that “the only major power that dominated China’s humanistic thought development over the last four thousand six hundred years is I Ching”. Based on this concept, its impact does not only lie in its ethics, morals, or worldview. When it is depicted figuratively in paintings, it implements the method of “shunning excess, shunning grandiosity, and shunning arrogance”, emphasizing a balanced and relative “moderation” while regarding “ren” as the ultimate goal of art and the highest realm. German professor R. Goepper summarized Chao as “Chinese knowledge as the foundation, and Western knowledge for application”. Goepper noted, “Although Mr. Chao has already become a member of the modern international painting scene, Chao has a strong mindset of the Chinese community. He is essentially a Chinese painter.” Chao used “Eastern art as the longitude, and Western art as the latitude” to boast ink wash painting through the essence obtained from comparative analysis, research, and judgment, which served as mutual encouragement and influence for Western modern art. Some critics thought that what distinguished him from others was that he “learned the authentic spirit of Western art”. Even though he advocated not “planning in advance” and disregarded “having an idea in mind before painting”, at the same time, he evidently assumed naturalness, pursuing the metaphysical conception of “not demanding shape, but a similarity in spirit”. He paints in the moment, ultimately forming the style of “splash-ink”. In many discourses on the characteristics of Chao’s art forms, the author 08


believes that Cosmos, published by Professor Chuang Shen in 1992, was the most assertive. Through the pictures in the book, Selection of Paintings, by T. M. Messer, professor Chuang determined that Chao had concentric circles in his paintings in 1963, which was earlier than F. Stella and E. Kelly by a good three to four years. The author agrees with the observations of Chuang, “The manifestation of Chao Chung-Hsiang’s concentric circles is not like Stella’s concentric circles which are very much geometric.” Thus, the author prefers to lean towards the analogy of the colored circles of “freehand style” in K. Noland’s paintings. Zhuang also believed that, “Particularly noteworthy is his (Chao’s) choice of colors, which are generally red, yellow, green, blue, and white.” Chao was influenced by Kelly’s “five colors spectrum”. The author points out that it would be more appropriate to compare this feature to Noland’s colored concentric circles. However, if we conform to combing out the Western context, we might as well view these five colors as the basic colors of traditional Chinese painting. The lines in the composition of Chao’s paintings echo the art forms of H. Matisse, P. Picasso, J. Miro, A. Tapies, P. Soulages, F. Kline, W. de Kooning, F. Stella, B. Newman, and M. Rothko. It contrasts Chao’s exposure to the actual response shaped by a series of impact by Cubism, Fauvism, Surrealism, Nonfigurative Art, Abstract Expressionism, Action Painting, Color-Field Painting, and Hard-Edge Painting. As for Chao’s widely known Tachist painting style, it can be traced to the inspirations of J. Miro, M. Louis, P. Alechinsky, S. Francis, and J. Pollock. Until recent, most of the commentaries on Chao focused on his ink techniques. In comparison, discovered that when people examine the flow and change of Chao’s integrated style of East and West, they often excessively focus on his influences from Western masters. As a matter of fact, Chao’s paintings have been endowed with Chinese and Eastern components representative of the era, not to mention the traces made by Chao’s interaction and mutual influence with Chinese contemporary artists. American scholar J. Wechsler wondered, how Western artists can deny the endeavors of the artists that broke into Western ancient abstract expressionism, and “believe that they are just parody creators of Western creativity? This is actually a satire of our ignorance.” This statement that points out the blind spot is very thought-provoking because of the persistence that they turn a blind eye, causing us to prefer to trace the origin of the modern West, thereby losing our inherent ability of the essence of dialogue. For example, in the characteristics of form mentioned above, if we just use modern Western masters as the model to draw out Chao’s phase of artistic expression, then why do we not affirm the classic representative of Eastern abstract art – especially the natural and flowing semi-cursive script and the smooth, graceful, cursive script, which Chao’s drip line and Tachist style were undoubtedly based on?

Looking back upon the colorful concentric circles mentioned earlier, shapes like perfectly rounded colored spheres favored in 1996 can indeed lead to an association with the thick whirlpools of K. Noland and L. Fontana’s Buchi series, and A. Gottlieb’s Burst series. However, in terms of Chao’s Chinese symbolic ideas and views, it is better to go back to Chao’s Taoist belief that yearns for nature. As a result, this can be explained by the affiliation that is similar and closely related to Western notions. The large whirlpools can serve as the chaotic perspective after the Big Bang, while the concentric circles can be described as the trajectories and magnetic fields of celestial bodies. The spheres are nothing more than a reproduction of the ancient belief of “Heaven is round, Earth is square.” Starting with the thoughts of simulation that are put into allegorical forms, the reason that Chao is favored by Eastern and Western people is because he masters the universe prototype and the presence of humans. He skillfully incorporates reality and figurativism in his paintings, evoking the resonance of the projection of subjective and objective memories and emotions. Whether they are flowers and birds, mountains and rivers, or even human faces or candles, they are symbols with deep meaning that are not defined by being ancient, modern, Chinese, and Western. Admittedly, to Chinese people, Chao’s symbols even more so contain the identified attraction of "cultural totems”. Lotuses, bamboo, melons, vines, birds, and candles all embody eternal symbols of infinite vitality and festivity. His paintings are expressed through analogies and metaphors, so they get increasingly more interesting with each view. Hidden meanings can be found in every corner. For example, the birds that he loves to paint embody the ease and joy of H. Matisse, P. Picasso, J. Miro, G. Braque, and also contain the impressionistic styles of Shi Tao, Bada Shanren, and Lin Feng-Mian. His birds are the “mysterious birds of destiny”. They are the rocs of Chuang Tzu, the birds of gratitude, and possibly a symbol of the male body. Full of wit and humor, the symbols are far from the stereotypes. Chao’s art of Chinese and Western fusion does not just contain the modern West and the classical East. The different phases among his lifetime contain components of closely related contemporary Chinese modern artists interacting with each other, which also left remains from the process in forming his artworks. From his artistic travels across three continents, we can gain that “the massive sea can hold the water from thousands of rivers”, thereby resulting in a broad art structure. His competent painting skills form a world that runs through the ancient, modern, East, and West, interweaving between time and space. In addition to achieving his personal “self-perfect universe”, Chao has created a “mysterious spiritual paradise” for us.

窮途或新徑?─楚戈有關「現代中國畫」之論述與意義建構

式變革依據的「現代繪畫運動」,對戰後台灣藝壇所造成 3

的衝擊與影響甚為深遠, 然而,卻急速引來傳統藝術的 擁護者極大的攻訐與反撲。 新、舊水墨「正統性」或「文化主權」之論爭,較之於稍 早的「正統國畫論爭」之激烈程度,實難分軒輊。傳統擁 護者對新興「現代水墨畫」對已進入「壽終正寢」的西方 抽象藝術囫圇吞棗之迷失、對「中西並用」的一廂情願不 4

予苟同之激烈立場。 不論孰是孰非,新、舊水墨畫之間 所形成之壁壘分明,說明了戰後台灣外在文化環境上的矛 盾與糾葛,而此種有關「正統性」或「文化主權」爭奪之 戰的展開,更可以說是來自閉塞的政治現況與國族主義思 想箝制之直接結果。此種現代文化建構上之衝突,透過「中 國畫往何處去?」─亦即中國畫「現代化」的議題論爭, 已遠遠超過民初時期的西化改革論或一九五○年代以來 「正統國畫論爭」之知識規模與論述框架,而徹底被解構, 逐漸走向文化主體認同探索的巨大轉變。 楚戈對「現代中國畫」論爭之參與,自初期的定義探討, 逐漸轉向有關「現代中國畫」前途的擘劃,最後並形成其 深具宏觀歷史視野的文化論述。一九六三年,他說: 近年來我們台灣的國畫最大的危機便是因襲成風,自相囿 限,以「上追宋元」或「自某家入手」並相標榜,沾沾自 喜。殊不知這不過是自欺欺人的行徑………我稱此類國畫 為偽國畫,因其以他人的看法為看法,竊取他人的感情為 自己的感情也。

5

除了反對國畫的因襲之外,呈現濃烈的追求藝術家自主意 志與保有自我的「現代性」之意圖。不過,楚戈此種深具 時代前瞻意義的觀念,並非完全抹煞傳統藝術的價值,他 認為中國畫具有自身獨特的文化特質,透過對古代藝術特 性進行現代意義之演繹與串聯,古與今之矛盾自可消失於 16


無形。在其理論架構中,古、今、中、外與畫家之「自我」 成為相互協調之一體,藝術應該超越有形物體,不再具有 抽象與具象之形式界限,故而可以獲得永恆之「真性」─ 純粹之藝術特質,而「現代中國畫」則應該是具備超越地 域、時間、種族、文化藩籬的的跨界文化載體。

6

一九七三年,亦即在回應國畫「現代化」之議題已然渡過 第十年之際,楚戈開始進行總結式的回顧,顯示其對此問 題未來發展的宏圖大願。他除了一再回顧戰後台灣現代繪 畫興起的來龍去脈並建構其「歷史」之外,並引用劉國松 的言論:「六十年代,抽象的旗幟已普遍的樹立於每一自 由國家之藝壇上。其本身所代表的強有力的象徵:就是自 7

由」 ,對劉氏等人在「新傳統之塑造」問題上的努力表 示贊同。另一方面,也對畫壇上「具有創造性的水墨畫家 愈來愈多」的現象表示欣喜,並希望當時的年輕畫家能創 造出屬於這一代的「現代中國畫」,以完成「重建中國繪 8

畫史的歷史使命」。 此種說法,象徵其將「現代中國畫」 視為中國畫史的一部分,或者換句話說,「現代中國畫」 才是中國傳統繪畫在「現代」的正統,藉以凸顯「中國畫」 的現代身分價值與歷史化建構性之意義。 透過對楚戈有關戰後台灣藝術界在「國畫現代化」等問題 上的論辯回應,可以知道,自一九六三年起,在反對「因 襲成風,自相囿限」的傳統守舊作風之立場上,開啟其對 「何謂現代中國畫」定義詮釋的最初關心。其次,透過對 中、西藝術歷史及本質異同之釐清,他提出的「中、西無 差別論」之說法,開啟其朝向更具包容性、超越性思維之 序幕,同時,藉由此種過程,他發現中國畫現代化藝術創 作必須迎向世界─亦即必須具有「世界性」─的重要,顯 示其將現代中國畫納入世界版圖、逃脫傳統歷史桎梏之束 縛,為中國畫迎向國際鋪陳出一條可能發展之新徑。

A Dead End or a New Path? ─ Chu Ko’s Discourse on the “Modern Chinese Painting” and Its Construction

A Dead End or a New Path? Chu Ko’s Discourse on the “Modern Chinese Painting” and Its Construction Text by

Pai Shih-Ming

Professor of the Department of the Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University

Article

Following the war in the 1950s and 1960s, Taiwanese culture found itself at a turning point from a state of crisis during a critical period where dialogue was being sought from a period of conflict.1 Bombarded by ideological trends of Western modern art, traditional Chinese Painting started to confront concepts of “modernization” in a positive light, and began searching for the future of traditional Chinese painting within the dialectical relationships of “Chinese/ Western” and “Traditional/Modern”. And lastly, such a process developed the so-called “Modern Ink Painting” 2 , which could be said is a result from the accumulation of local Taiwanese experiences and a unique Taiwanese cultural identity. “Modern Ink Painting” was fabricated from European and American abstract impressionism as a main form, which then transformed into the “Movement for Modern Painting”. Its impact and influence on the postwar art scene in Taiwan has been very profound and long lasting.3 However, such movement rapidly attracted massive amounts of criticisms from supporters of traditional art. Compared to the intensity of the earlier “debate over the orthodoxy of national painting”, the debate between “orthodoxy” and “cultural sovereignty” of new and old ink painting shared little distinction. Regarding the emergence of “modern ink painting”, advocates of tradition have become lost due to the devouring of Western abstract art. They were in intense disagreement with the concept of “juxtaposing East and West.4 Regardless of its merits, the barriers formed between new and old ink painting clearly illustrates the contradictions and disputes in the external cultural environment of post-war Taiwan. And, the start of the contention between “orthodoxy” and “cultural sovereignty” can be said to be a direct result of the current state of political occlusion and nationalist suppression. Through the question of “Where is traditional Chinese painting going?” – that is the debate regarding the “modernization” of traditional Chinese painting, such conflicts on the construction of modern culture have far exceeded the scale of knowledge and framework of discourse from the Western reformation of the early Republic period or the “debate over the orthodoxy of national painting” from the 1950s. Thoroughly deconstructed, it has gradually shifted to vast transformations in the search for a main cultural identity. Regarding participation in the debate over “Modern Chinese painting”, Chu Ko’s exploration for an initial definition gradually shifted towards a plan for the future of “ modern Chinese painting.” In the end, he formed a cultural discourse with an in-depth, macro-historical vision. In 1963, he said: In recent years, the greatest danger to Taiwan’s national painting lies in its constraints and inability to reinvent itself. It has become complacent with the concepts of “pursuing Song and Yuan Dynasty elements” or “learning from certain schools”. Little is it known that this is nothing but a path of self-deception… I call this type of

20


national painting as a “pseudo national painting.” Due to using the perspectives of others as their own, they steal the feelings of others for their own. 5

In addition to opposing Chinese painting’s practice of following conventions, this manifests the intention of the fierce pursuit of the artist’s autonomy and retention of self-"modernity". However, Chu’s concept that had prescient significance to an era did not totally obliterate the value of traditional art. He believed that Chinese painting has its own unique cultural characteristics. Through the deducting and connecting of modern meaning in characteristics of ancient art, the contradiction between ancient and present may disappear. In that theoretical framework, the ancient, present, Chinese, and foreign have become one of mutual coordination with the “selves” of artists. Art should go beyond the tangible objects, and not be limited by abstract and figurative boundaries. Therefore, art can obtain eternal "authenticity” – a pure artistic quality. “Modern Chinese painting” should be a cross-cultural carrier that transcends the barriers of region, time, ethnicity, and culture. 6 1973 marked the tenth year of response to the issue of the “modernization” of Chinese painting. Chu began to conduct a summative retrospection, exhibiting his great desire for the future development of this issue. In addition to recalling again the circumstances surrounding the rise of modern painting in postwar Taiwan, and constructing its “history”, Chu cited Liu Kuo-Sung's comment, “In the 60s, the flags of abstract were prevalently set on the art scenes of every free country. The strong symbol it represented was freedom.” 7 This is an approval of the efforts that Liu and others put on the issues of “shaping of new traditions”. On the other hand, this is also an expression of joy at the phenomenon of “more and more ink wash painters with creativity” in the painting scene, as well as a hope that young painters can create “modern Chinese paintings” that belong to this era to complete “the historical mission of reconstructing the history of Chinese painting”. 8 Such an interpretation alludes to the notion that modern Chinese painting is part of Chinese art history. In other words, modern Chinese painting is the true heir of modernism in Chinese art, thus emphasizing a modern identity and historical lineage of Chinese painting. From Chu Ko’s response to the debate revolving around “the modernization of Traditional Chinese Painting” in postwar Taiwan, we can deduce that, since 1963, Ko began to question the conservative approach to art and started to define what modern Traditional Chinese Painting should be. By gaining a better understanding of the historical and intrinsic differences between Chinese and Western art, Ko was able to propose the theory that stated “Chinese and Western art are inherently the same.” This was a much more inclusive perspective. At the same time, he realized that worldliness was pivotal to the modernization of Traditional Chinese painting. By doing so, Traditional Chinese painting

白色的魅力與震撼—林壽宇藝術之美

評論

白色的魅力 與震撼

看了林壽宇的畫,自內心激起一股莫名的感動與震憾,是

林壽宇藝術之美

林壽宇的排斥一切自然形象,而以純粹幾何造形譜成的畫

年來國內難得見到的具國際水準的畫展。不過我也很擔心 他的畫在國內很不容易被瞭解,因為他的繪畫不屬於自然 形象的表現,在國內看慣了自然再現的藝術觀眾,當面對 面,使人無從連想起日常生活的視覺經驗,進而對畫面產 生感情與幻覺。不過,我可以肯定地說,林壽宇的繪畫比

自然再現的藝術更來得真實,簡直把色彩與造形的美,在 其固有的特性裏發揮得淋漓盡致,令人純粹地體會那律動

國立台灣師範大學美術系暨美術研究所名譽教授

與白色所蘊含的純粹美。

自然界的真實不同於藝術世界的真實 自然再現的藝術是一種假像,是藉自然的形象在畫面造成 一種似真而假的幻覺( Illusion ),使人在他的心裏依畫意 組織起日常生活的視覺經驗,然後進行種種感情的活動。 故, 這 一 種 自 然 再 現 的 藝 術 是 全 部 依 靠 自 然 形 象 來 成 立 的,它本身非獨立完善的世界。與此較之,那一切排斥自 然再現的抽象藝術,是純粹的以形體和白色固有的性質來 抒發它的真音,不必依靠外界的種種要素。因此它在藝術 世界裏,是獨立完善的小宇宙,是比自然再現的藝術來得 更真實。 欲了解抽象藝術之美,筆者想以一則比喻來說明。當兩個 中國人聽到法國人在講法文時,甲是能聽懂法文,所以他 的注意力往往被其語言所含蘊的意義所吸引,想了解這一 位法國人所講的內容。相反的,不了解法語的乙,則不會 注 意 其 意 涵, 此 時 反 而 可 以 充 分 體 念 出 其 語 調 和 聲 音 之 美。 同 理, 繪 畫 的 形 和 色 彩, 若 依 賴 自 然 形 象 而 成 立 的 話,則觀眾的注意力就立刻被熟悉的自然形象所奪走,在 那兒想尋找出自然形象所象徵的內涵,哪裏能體會到純粹 造形和色彩之美?惟有排斥自然形象等一切外來的他律性 要素,也捨棄作者主觀的筆觸,此時那純粹幾何抽象和色 彩之美才能淋 漓 盡 致 的 被 發 揮 出 來 。 猶 如 色 面 畫 家 紐 曼 (B. Newman) 所云:「繪畫是像一個人一樣的,有它獨 特的性格。當我要聽它的真音時,我必須不干擾它,也必 須除去外界的影響要素,此時它才能吐露其真音。」

28


以最簡單的要素表現最大的效果 一個富於創造的藝術家,是善於吸取前人的養料,把它消 化殆盡,從中創造出獨特的藝術風貌。如文藝復興的大師 拉 斐 爾( Raphael ), 把 達 文 西( L. da Vinci ) 的 叡 智 美、 米 開 蘭 基 羅( Michelangelo ) 的 素 描、 威 尼 斯 畫 派 的 色 彩 溶 為 一 爐, 開 創 了 理 想 化 的 優 雅 美。 林 壽 宇 以 前 是 從 事 具 象 藝 術 創 作 的, 然 而 在 一 九 五 ○ 年 代 接 觸 了 行 動 繪 畫 ( Action-Painting )以後,毅然地放棄熟稔的具象繪畫,而 向抽象藝術裏鑽研。他從行動繪畫學習到了純粹色彩的力 動美應用,與那讓繪畫自身決定其發展的連鎖反應成作畫 態度;更從蒙德里安( P. Mondrian )的新造形藝術裏,領 會到虛與實的對立和維持均衡、和諧的空間處理法;也從 最低限藝術( Minimal Art )裏探討出,把造形還原於最簡 要素,以此最簡要素來做反複安排的手法。然而,林壽宇 的藝術却比最低限藝術更來得精簡,簡直把自己限定於長 方形和白色的最簡要素內,譜出最大的律動和最豐富的白 色層次。這一種豐富的白色層次和長方形的反複,所構成 的內涵是如此的緊湊和多樣,在世上實很難再尋找得出像 林壽宇似的,以最簡的要素來追求最大效果的畫家了。這 就是他獨特之風格,也使得他獲得國際名聲的所在。少就 是多( Less is more )的奧妙就在此,同時也是把羅勃.摩 利斯( R. Morris )的「要素的單純,並不意味着內涵的貧 乏,相反地它也能譜出極豐富的內涵。」的藝術理念,實 踐得最成功的畫家了。

白色的魅力與震撼 依 據 康 丁 斯 基 的《 藝 術 的 精 神 性 》( Concerning the

Spiritual in Art )所云:「無彩色的黑與白是無,然而黑是 死的無,白是生的無,而一切的有彩色,如紅、黃、藍、 綠 等 就 位 於 此 生 與 死 的 二 極 中 間, 各 散 發 出 其 獨 自 的 生 命……。」由此可見,康丁斯基是把白色看成即將誕生生 命之前的,那一種「無」和「虛」吧!不過,在林壽宇的 白色,是如此充滿了生命與律動,絕不像西方人似的視成 「虛無」的存在。這或許是中國繪畫裏的留白,一貫把它 看成畫面的重要要素,含蘊着無盡生機的這一種中國人的 繪畫觀,他把它繼承而加予發揚光大。 林壽宇的那一塵不染且層次豐富的白色,是藉厚薄凹凸的


白色的魅力與震撼—林壽宇藝術之美

評論

纖細浮雕畫面效果所譜成的。在此,高低不同的白色,就 做前後運動的方向;並且那層次豐富的白色長方形之反覆 就釀造出,時而急驟,時而緩慢的時間性旋律,令人深覺 白色不可思議的韻律美。如此,物質化的白色,就超越其 物質性,而往抽象性、音樂性發展了。白色是純潔的。水 平的長方形是和平中帶有一些剛毅的性格。虛和實的空間 反覆,是律動生命的泉源。因而有些觀眾,就從這些書面 連想到少女純潔的風貌,有些觀眾更體味到宗教似的神聖 感覺,更有些觀眾從裏面發掘出人生的奧祕等,各自往內 心裏探索自己之內涵。本來,抽象藝術是感覺性的,它給 觀眾是在此刺激內,各尋自己之內涵,而往自己之思索沈 潛下去。因而,它的內涵比自然再現的藝術,來得更廣與 更深。 林壽宇的白色畫面,偶爾也會出現紅、黃、藍等線條。例 如以《繪畫浮雕—雙聯作》來說,他在白色主調畫面依次 的放進從黃到淡黃的三條細線。然而這些有色線條是,為 了提昇白色豐富的律動層次而存在的,有了它白色更顯得 活潑與生氣,絕不會喧賓奪主地使白色失去光彩。所以, 那有色線條的長度與面積,是經過長期思考的產物,跟白 色之主調始終維持着均衡與和諧之狀態。 由於上述的獨特風格,林壽宇的藝術曾在歐美各地的主要 畫廊和美術館裏舉辦過無數次的個展,並且其作品已廣為 歐美的著名美術館(如英國泰德美術館、美國赫胥宏美術 館、巴西聖保羅美術館、羅馬國立現代畫廊等二十六所美 術館)所收藏。雖然如此,他却並未在國內舉辦過個展, 所以相信無論就作者或觀眾來說,這將成為一次頗富意義 與價值的美展。

The Fascinating and Breathtaking White – Art of Richard Lin

The Fascinating and Breathtaking White Art of Richard Lin Text by

Wang Hsiu-Hsiung

Honorary Professor of the Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University

Article

Viewing Richard Lin’s painting is a fascinating and breathtaking experience in a spontaneous way. His exhibition appeals to the whole world, and an attempt like this is hardly seen elsewhere in Taiwan. It has always been my concern that his paintings may stand in a distance from the public’s understanding since they are rarely naturalistic or figurative. For viewers more familiar with art being representation of Nature, Lin’s total rejection of any natural images and his embrace of pure geometric patterns make it difficult, if not impossible, to reconnect it with our daily visual experience and to further establish an emotional or illusionary attachment to the images. However, I am certain that Lin’s paintings better visualize Truth than Naturalistic art. The beauty of colors and shapes are perfectly rendered with their substantial uniqueness, overwhelming us with the purity imbedded in the movement of white.

The Truth in Nature Is Different from the Truth in Art Naturalistic art is an illusion. The representation of Nature evokes one’s emotions when one attempts to construct a visual experience of daily life in one’s mind. Therefore, the art as representation of nature no longer creates a self-validating world but is validated by the naturalistic visualization. As a comparison, abstract art, rejecting any representation of Nature, expresses itself through pure shapes and the intrinsic property of white instead of external forces. It thus makes itself a self-sufficient universe in the world of art which is closer to the Truth than Naturalistic art. I would like to use a story to explain the beauty of abstract art. A French is speaking to two Chinese. One understands French, so he is paying more attention to the meaning of the words; while the other who does not understand French is attracted by the sound and rhythm of the language. Similarly, when the colors and shapes in a painting are to serve the representation of Nature, viewers will soon be captivated by the familiar natural scenes and begin to wonder the meaning of the images. How can they thus feel the beauty of pure shapes and colors? Only when all external forces, like the naturalistic representation and artists’ subjective styles, are excluded can a painting utterly reveal the beauty of abstract geometric shapes and colors. “A painting is like a person with its unique personality; when I want to hear its true voice, I have to keep it from any interference and external influence for it to express the true voice,” says color field painter Barnett Newman.

The Simplest Element Create the Biggest Effect An artist with creativity and originality is good at absorbing what the predecessors have achieved and digest them to create a unique artistic style. One of the examples is the Renaissance artist Raphael who perfectly blended the rational beauty of da Vinci, drawings of Michelangelo, and Venetian School’s 32


use of color together to establish the idealistic sense of beauty. Richard Lin used to be a figurative artist in the early stage of his practice. He first encountered action painting in the 1950s and decided to walk away from figurative painting to further explore abstract art. One thing he has learned from action painting is the application of pure colors to create energy, movement, and beauty as well as an artistic attitude allowing a painting to decide its own development through a series of spontaneous reaction. He has also been inspired by Piet Mondrian’s neo-plasticism for his balanced, harmonious composition based on positivenegative conflict and by minimal art for a repetitive pattern consisting of the most basic elements reduced from shapes. However, Lin’s art is even more minimalistic than minimal art and he almost limits himself to the simplest elements such as white or rectangles to create the most powerful movement and the richest shades of white. The repetition of rectangles and shades of white realize an intensive and diverse vocabulary. Lin indeed is one of the rare examples who pursue the biggest effect with the simplest elements. Less is more – it is what is unique to him and what he is known for in the world. We can even say that he is the best artist to realize Robert Morris’s idea that “simplicity of shape does not necessarily equate with simplicity of experience.”

The Fascinating and Breathtaking White According to Vasily Kandinsky in his Concerning the Spiritual in Art, black and white, with color excluded, respectively represents “something burnt out, like the ashes of a funeral pyre, something motionless like a corpse” and “the nothingness that is before birth, of the world in the ice age,” while other colors like red, yellow, blue, and green stay in “a circle between two poles.” In Kandinsky’s words, white is the void before birth. However, Lin’s white is full of life and energy, rather than the state of “nothingness” as described by Westerners. We might attribute it to the technique of liubai (blankness) in traditional Chinese painting, which plays a vital role in composition for that it reveals the endless possibilities covered by the appearance. Lin not only bases his practice on the traditional Chinese aesthetics but also elaborates it. Lin’s flawless white is rendered in rich layers, highlighted by a delicate relief effect with sharp contours. The shades of white seem to have their own movements as the multiple-layered white rectangle, chants the melody of time, rapidly or slowly, revealing the incredibly fascinating movement of white. Therefore, the materialized white transcends its materiality to embrace abstraction and musicality. White signifies purity, while the horizontal rectangle demonstrates the persistence of peace. The repetitive space between reality and illusion thus becomes the fountain of life’s movement. Some viewers associate it with virgins, girls who are pure and chaste; some have an experience of religious sacredness; and some even dig into it to unearth the mystery of life and to explore the true self. Indeed, abstract art is for us to feel. It provides a stimulus to viewers to search

for the self and to delve into one’s inner thoughts. As a consequence, what it contains is more thorough and profound than naturalistic art. Occasionally, Lin’s white is accompanied by lines in red, yellow, blue, and other colors. Take Painting Relief – A Diptych for example, he successively places three thin lines from yellow to light yellow in a white-based image. These lines of colors are to improve the rich movements of white, making it energetic and fullof-life while avoiding outshining the white. The lengths and sizes of the yellow lines are carefully managed to maintain the balance and harmony with the main tone of white. Richard Lin’s artworks, with such an unique style, have been presented in numerous solo exhibitions at major art galleries and museums around Europe and the Unites States of America, including Tate Gallery in Britain, Hirshhorn Museum in the USA, Museu de Arte de São Paulo in Brazil, Galleria Nazionale Moderna in Rome, and 22 other museums where Lin’s artworks are held in the collection. Nonetheless, he had never held a solo exhibition in Taiwan before this one, which will definitely offer a significant and valuable experience for viewers and the artist.

born in Wufeng, Taichung, Taiwan, 1933~2011

林壽宇,台灣光復後畢業於台灣省立台北建國中學(今台北市

Richard Lin graduated from Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School. During 1952-

Millfield School and Regent Street Polytechnic (now University of Westminster).

70 年 代, 在 英 國 發 展 極 限 繪 畫 過 程 中, 早 期 以 東 方 老 莊 的 哲 學思考為基礎,以中國的潑墨山水概念並結合中國文人畫中的 「留白」空間,揮灑自如的墨色及律動的筆觸,使畫面蘊含無 限的能量;後期作品更強調理性、幾何與純粹媒材的創構成, 深具現代主義的意涵,讓他被後人稱為極簡主義大師、台灣藝 術現代主義巨匠。 1961 年榮獲英國當代藝術學會勉勵獎、 1964

During the early years, Lin's creation was based on Eastern philosophical thoughts of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu. He applied concepts of Chinese splash-ink landscape painting, and combined them with the liubai (blankness), a key feature of traditional Chinese painting. Therefore, the freely swaying ink and the rhythmical strokes brought an infinite energy into his paintings. During his later years, Lin put more emphasis on rationality, geometry and pure mediums, thus strongly implicating modernism. Very soon he became known as the master of minimalism

評論

現代水墨當年盛大的風潮中,李重重 (1942-) 是少數的女 性水墨藝術家,且表現突出。出身書香人家的李重重,誕 生於安徽省屯溪縣,父親也是一位學習藝術的近代知識份

蕭瓊瑞

國立成功大學歷史系教授

子,早年畢業於北平美術學院,專習傳統水墨。 1947 年, 李重重五歲,跟隨父母來到臺灣;父親任職臺鹽七股鹽場, 李重重便在臺南鄉下,安靜而幸福地度過了她的童年。

1965 年,李重重自復興崗政戰學校藝術系畢業; 1968 年, 便加入了「中國水墨畫學會」,開始現代水墨畫的實驗與 開拓。從家學淵源的傳統水墨,到學院教育的油畫訓練, 同時也透過國內外豐富的參展經歷,李重重接受並投身現 代水墨的洗禮與歷練,是源自一種創作實驗的內在思維與 反省。她對水墨媒材所潛藏的無限可能性,以及傳統表現 手法的狹隘拘限,具有深刻的自覺與反省。 初期,她從技巧的更新和媒材的實驗著手,嘗試了許多以 拓墨和自動技法為主體的創作。之後,她逐漸從自己既有 的 傳 統 筆 墨 中 去 發 掘 新 意, 用 筆 用 墨 重 新 成 為 畫 面 的 主 體,但造形已經是一種全新的語彙;各種技法退位成只是 從旁輔助的工具,不再是主體。正是這種被文學研究者兼 藝評家的尉天驄稱美為「有根的現代」的風格,使李重重 成為臺灣現代抽象水墨在 70 年代之後,備受矚目與肯定 的一位重要藝術家。 李重重的作品,在完全拋棄傳統形式語彙的過程中,卻傳 承了中國傳統水墨中最動人的墨韻和精神。因此,她的作 品不僅擁有現代的形式,也呈現深刻、動人的傳統文人內 涵。她的創作,從佈局入手,自墨韻收尾;因此,她的繪 畫,不僅有縱橫蒼潤的筆觸線條,也有塊面渲染的空間意 境,但更重要的,是她在層層營造的墨韻層次中,創造了 作品蒼潤婉約的動人氣質,與深厚渾成的紮實質感。為了 達成這種效果,李重重作畫的過程,表面上看,似乎恣意 揮洒、逸筆草草,實際上則是舉重若輕,墨色堆疊往往幾 達數十次,進行得相當緩慢。李重重說:我希望作品要有 大象重重跺腳時那樣的震動。

42


2000 年以後的作品,李重重運用焦墨與淡墨的對比、細線 與色塊的對映,傳達出中國傳統哲學中,亦動亦靜、動靜 相參、物我合一的種種聯想與共鳴。有時是一種墨彩相容、 連綿不絕的滾動造型,有時則如某一斷面中突然湧現的色 彩精靈,給人一種斷、續,存、滅的衝擊與並置的感受。 而物情、物象、物緣的層層敷衍,引人進入一種生命思索 的深沈境域。 李重重在臺灣現代水墨發展史上,最為突顯且重要的成就 與貢獻,是她在現代的水墨形式中,掌握及呈顯了中國傳 統獨特的空靈、氣韻與意境,正是所謂「筆墨相濡、意超 象外」的筆勢與墨韻,蒼勁與婉約並存,物性與人性輝映, 是這個時代最值得珍惜的一種水墨姿態與聲音。

Vigorous and Restrained – Lee Chung-Chung

Vigorous and Restrained Lee Chung-Chung Text by

Hsiao Chong-Ray

Professor of the Department of History, National Cheng Kung University

Article

Amongst a flourishing trend in modern ink in recent years, Lee Chung-Chung (1942-) is a rare example of a female ink artist who exhibits an outstanding level of performance. Lee was born into a family of scholars in Tunxi of Anhui County. Her father was also a modern day intellectual who studied at Peking Fine Arts College and graduated with a major in traditional ink painting. In 1947, when Lee was 4 years old, she came to Taiwan with her parents. Her father worked at Taiyen’s Cigu Salt Mountain. Lee lived in the countryside of Tainan where she spent a quiet and happy childhood. In 1965, Lee graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Fu Hsing Kang College. In 1968, she joined the Chinese Ink Painting Study Association, where she began experimenting with modern ink painting and developing her talent in it. Having learned traditional ink painting at home and received training in oil painting at the college, Lee has a vast of experience participating in both local and overseas exhibitions. Lee accepted and threw herself headlong into the training of modern ink painting, inspired by inner contemplations and reflections on creative experimentation. The endless possibilities she hides within her approach to ink media while also straddling the tight constraints of traditional methods reveal a deep sense of consciousness and introspection. Initially, she began by practicing her techniques and experimenting with media, while attempting many ink rubbing and automatic techniques. Afterwards, she gradually developed some new ideas from traditional ink painting, using brush and ink as the main subject of the image again. However, shapes were already a completely new type of language. The abdication of various techniques was simply an auxiliary tool from the sidelines, and no longer the main subject. The literary scholar and art critic, Wei Tian-Cong, praised this as a beautiful modern style with deep roots. This enabled Lee to gain much attention and recognition as an important artist in Taiwan’s modern abstract ink scene after the 1970s. In the process of completely abandoning the language of traditional forms, the works of Lee Chung-Chung managed to inherit the most moving ink rhyme and spirit of traditional Chinese ink painting. As a result, her works not only present modern forms, but also reveal the profound and touching connotation of traditional literati. Her works begin from layout and end with ink rhyme. As a result, her paintings not only feature vertical and horizontal brush strokes, but also blocks of space for mood. More importantly, however, in the ink rhyme created by layers, she generates a graceful and moving temperament as well as a deep, solid texture in her works. To achieve this effect, Lee’s painting process on the surface seems almost arbitrary and swaying. In fact, this more follows the principle of using a light touch. Ink is often stacked more than dozens of times, which is quite a slow process. Lee once said: I hope that my works feature the 46


same vibration as an elephant stomping its feet. Since 2000, Lee Chung-Chung’s works featured a contrast of dry and light brush strokes to express a notion of motion and motionlessness, a common theme explored in ancient Chinese philosophy. Sometimes, these strokes are like continuous morphing shapes or ink flowing into each other. Sometimes, they are dashes of color that interrupt one another. They were a juxtaposition of discontinuity and continuity, and existence and vanishing. These layers of events, objects, and material evoke deep thoughts about life. Lee Chung-Chung’s most significant contribution to the development of modern ink in Taiwan is the infusion of traditional Chinese essence, imagery, and mood into modern ink painting. The works echo the notion: “Pen and ink mixing with each other to transcend imagination.” It is a union of vigor and grace, a celebration of material and human nature. Lee’s ink works are the most worthy of collection among modern ink of this era.

in her works. Bright colors, according to the artist, are meant to vibrate in the ink just like the ground shakes as "an elephant heavily puts down its foot."

長寬比例較有隨性的自由傾向。 莊普的作品展現了一種具有重量和層次性的編織感。他引 進異質性的媒材,甚至使畫布回歸作為織品的物性,以針 織或車縫的方式,讓縫線作為譜構畫面的線條。如此,畫 布不再只是作畫的平面,同時也成了物的載體。現代主義 所強調的去實體的純粹性,來到莊普的畫作中,變成了一 種混雜與異化,既不純粹也不單純。 有別於嚴謹而自律的水平和垂直結構,莊普對於四十五度 角的斜向線條情有獨鍾,而且,時常可以見到刻意營造的 率性或偶然的不規則線性書寫。莊普以往也經常將幾何的 畫面視為載體,讓縫線、金屬線或其他異性材質浮現或突 出於畫面之上與之外,形成了一種介於繪畫與立體裝置之 間的效果,同時,也讓幾何的畫面與不規則的線性書寫, 形成一種看似對立卻又相互襯托的視覺構成。 莊普形塑了一種既冷又溫,既理性又感性,既幾何又表現, 既構成又即興的畫面風格。這種折衷是混合而不是融合, 也帶著既東方(或中國?)又西方的揉雜。以平面繪畫的 形式作為基底,莊普於其上衍生並顯現了點、線、面的物 性,不但將點連結成線與面,更讓線在空間中迭宕,使其 綿延為現實世界中的量體。 在創作上,莊普的不安於純粹,也明顯見於他持續為自己 的藝術引進各種異質性的媒介。他甚至有意從「手繪性」 逃開,摒棄「直接性」,跳脫「藝術」作為直證個人心印 ( mindscape )的刻板形象。他也從「物性」的層面著手, 重新聯繫抽象和現實的關係。 1990 年之後,莊普時常利用 現實世界的物件,甚至現成物,嘗試觀念性的裝置。 莊 普 甚 至 捨 棄 畫 筆, 改 以 公 分 見 方 為 單 位 的 印 章 作 為 畫 具,發展成一套「印觸」技法。受中國印拓的傳統啟發, 莊普將「繪

畫」異化為一種「轉印」的概念。因為印章

取代了畫筆,所以,當印章附著了顏料,在畫布上印壓之 54


後,反而留下凹凸相對鮮明的觸感與痕跡。每一次的轉印 動作,只以公分見方為單位;每一次的印壓,也因為顏料 的厚薄不同,以及每一次手感的差異,而形成不同的印觸 痕跡。如此一來,印跡的增生、疊壓與交互覆蓋,譜出了 一種深具觸感的密實厚度。與其說這是繪畫,還不如說是 一種量塊的編織。 數以百計或千計的印觸痕跡,以其抽象的構成,形塑為一 種集合的量體。每一塊以公分見方作為疆界的微型色塊和 斜線,彼此同中有異,相互更加和而不同。每一筆印記的 心感與手觸,雖然都不盡相同,但是,平行的印蓋,以及 反覆的疊壓,最後完成的作品形成了一種渾沌難名的意識 混合體。 印壓的時間雖有先後,最後卻失去了歷史的線性。轉印的 過程當中,有千百個印觸,就有千百個轉念;念頭來來去 去,才生即滅,才滅又生。而心手之間,也未必一定相印, 手可能離心,心也未必常駐,儘管印壓的動作仍舊進行著。 因此,莊普的畫作呈現了一種意識的懸宕。將畫布作為意 識的載體,莊普在畫面上反諷地留下念頭在時空中流動的 印跡──不但形塑為多重的色彩與色調變化,更形成厚實 的重量感。就此而言,莊普透過繪畫似乎也流露了他個人 對於佛教哲學的自覺。 在晚近的畫作中,莊普的印記更拓展出不同的形式意味。 有別於先前的冥想意識,「印記」如今更具體地演變為一 種視覺性的「訊號」。就以他 2008 年的幾件以「光」為 題的新作為例,印記除了作為表現「光跡」的基本造形位 元之外,莊普的印記也轉化──或突變?──為仿數位馬 賽克效果的造形。如此,他為畫面賦予了更具視覺指涉性 的符號聯想。馬賽克效果直指數位影樣畫面的掉格現象, 於是,莊普的畫布又成為模擬影像的載體,回應著當代影 像的觀視課題。 馬賽克效果破壞了原來畫面形象的完整性。就符號的能指 而言,數位馬賽克的出現,也暗示觀者在畫面中所見的一 道道明亮之光,很可能是經過電子訊號的傳輸處理,而後 顯影在螢幕載體上的一種人造的「偽光」。


意識的懸宕─試論莊普的繪畫

評論

以畫布模擬螢幕,莊普畫面所見的印記不再是意識流動的 物性痕跡,而變成一種方格化的數位畫素( pixel ),或是 類 比 式 的 視 覺 噪 訊。 馬 賽 克 效 果 若 是 破 壞 畫 面 的 視 覺 因 子,但也因為實在突出,所以激盪了藝術的真實之光究竟 為何的哲學議題。 類比訊號也罷,數位訊號也罷,在當代的傳媒世界當中, 畫 素 取 代 了 現 實。 螢 幕 光 束 所 投 射 的 影 像, 餵 給 並 掌 握 了觀者的慾望。數據化的時間── 2008 ──不但提示了 現 實 的 座 標, 更 不 帶 情 感 地 強 化 了 當 下 的 此 時。 過 度 真 實 的 現 實, 也 使 人 時 而 萌 生 逃 逸 意 識。 有 時, 即 便 只 是 面 對 一 片 由 光 點 閃 爍 所 構 成 的 噪 訊 畫 面, 或 許 都 能 使 人 暫時放空。 科技影像的年代降臨,放射性的光固然提供了觀者對希望 的想像與期待,卻也可能只是偽光,純粹只是製造投影的 假象。面對消費主義時代一切商品化的過度宣傳與包裝, 藝術的「靈光」( aura )何在?藝術家能夠作什麼?莊普 從不言明,但意識與知覺卻持續轉念……。 (節錄自莊普 2008 年「我討厭村上隆」個展專文)

Conscious Cliff-Hanging – An Essay on Tsong Pu’s Paintings

Conscious Cliff-Hanging An Essay on Tsong Pu’s Paintings Text by Art Critic and Curator

Chia Chi Jason Wang

Article

Since Tsong Pu’s artworks return from Spain in the early 1980s, there has consistently been a minimal and post-minimal modular and serial structure. Furthermore, with a simple theme of serial repetition, a complicated yet unified whole is formed. He likes to model the image with a serial grid structure, while not strictly adhering to a square frame, resulting in proportions that tend to be more liberal. Tsong Pu’s works show a type of weaving that is heavy and layered. He introduces heterogeneous media, with even the canvas possessing woven properties, employing knitting or machine sewing to allow the seams to compose the contours of the image. In this way, the canvas is no longer just the surface, it is also a part of the medium. Whereas modernism emphasizes the purity after removal of the physical, Tsong Pu’s paintings become more mixed and alienated, being neither pure nor simple. Unlike a rigorous and disciplined horizontal and vertical structure, Tsong Pu has a passion for using 45-degree angles. Moreover, you can often see meticulously constructed rational and accidentally irregular linear compositions. Tsong Pu used to also often regard the geometrical image as the medium, allowing the seams, wire, or other material emerge or protrude from the image or outside it. This had the effect of being artwork that fell somewhere between a painting and a three-dimensional installation. Simultaneously, it also allowed the geometrical image and the irregular linear composition to form a type of seemingly contrasting yet mutually complimenting visual whole. Tsong Pu shapes a style that is cold yet warm, rational yet emotional, geometrical yet expressive, and structural yet improvised. This kind of compromise is a hybrid rather than a fusion, but it also brings forth a mix of the East (or China?) and the West. Tsong Pu derives and presents dots, lines, and the physical properties of the surface. He not only connects the dots to form lines with the surface, he freely allows the lines to roam in space, extending as a real world structure. Creatively, Tsong Pu does not settle for purity, which is also apparent in his continuous introduction of various heterogeneous mediums in his art. He even deliberately departed from “hand painting”, gave up “directness”, and went beyond “art” as a personal mindscape stereotype. He also proceeded from the level of “substance” to re-link the abstract with the real. After 1990, Tsong Pu often used worldly objects, even ready-made objects, and tried his hand at conceptual installation art. Tsong Pu even abandoned the brush and has changed to a square seal of a centimeter as a painting tool, developing a “stamping” technique. Inspired by traditional Chinese seal printing, Tsong Pu turned the concept of “painting” 58


into a kind of “printing.” Since a seal has now taken the place of a brush, when the seal is dipped in paint, and after it has been printed onto the canvas, it leaves uneven, relatively distinct impressions and traces. Each print is only a centimeter in size; and each time it is pressed with different thickness of the paint, leaving a different texture, different stamp traces are formed. Thus, the multiple prints accumulate and cover each other, recording a kind of deep impression of a dense thickness. This is not so much a painting, as it is more a kind of weaving. Hundreds or thousands of stamp traces and their abstract structure form an assembled whole. Each centimeter-big square constitutes a border, a miniature block of color and slanted lines. Each has diversity in similarity, and is different in resemblance. The feeling of each seal print, while all different yet of the same importance, and the repeated layering finally manifests itself in the completed work as a kind of chaotic aggregation of consciousness. Although there is a time sequence to the actual printing, it eventually loses its linear history. During the process of printing, there are numerous actions and numerous reconsiderations. Thoughts come and go. They are only just born, then extinguished; only just extinguished, then born. Heart and action do not necessarily resonate with each other. Action can distance itself from the heart. The action of the printing continues, with the heart not present. Therefore, Tsong Pu’s paintings present a kind of conscious cliff-hanging. The canvas becomes the conscious medium. Tsong Pu ironically left the idea in the traces flowing through time and space. Not only shaping the change of the many colors and tones but also shaping an abundant sense of weight. In this regard, Tsong Pu, through his paintings, seemingly reveals his personal Buddhist philosophy consciousness. In recent paintings, Tsong Pu’s mark shows a more diverse array of forms. Unlike his previous meditative conscious, “mark” has now more specifically evolved into a kind of visual “signal”. Take a few of his “light” themed works from 2008 as an example. Apart from the basic form of the “light traces”, Tsong Pu’s mark also changed – or mutated? – into what resembles a digital mosaic shape. In this way, he has given the image a more visual and referential symbolic association. The mosaic effect refers directly to a digital video frame, and, therefore, Tsong Pu’s canvas has become an imitation image medium in response to the topic of contemporary viewing. The mosaic effect shatters the completeness of the original image. In symbolic terms, the digital mosaic appearance also suggests that the channels of bright light the viewer sees in the image have very likely been transmitted through an electronic signal, with a kind of artificial “pseudo-light” manifesting itself on the screen.


Conscious Cliff-Hanging – An Essay on Tsong Pu’s Paintings

Article

On the canvas’ simulated screen, Tsong Pu’s prints are no longer substance traces of flowing consciousness, but rather grid-like digital pixels or analog digital noise. The mosaic effect makes the visual aspect of the image seem broken, but it also projects that the true artistic light of the philosophical theme surges forward. Whether it is an analog signal or a digital signal, in the world of contemporary mediums, pixels replace reality. Images projected on a screen feed and grip the viewers’ desires. The data age – 2008 – not only prompts actual coordination, but also emotionlessly emphasizes the now. Excessive actual reality now and then causes people to escape consciousness, sometimes even only by facing the signal noise generated by flashing lights, or it allows people to empty their minds. The age of technological imaging is here. Although radioactive light provides viewers with imagination and expectation, it is yet most likely only a pseudolight, a purely manufactured, projected illusion. In the age of consumerism, with all this commercialized, excessive propaganda and packaging, what is the “aura” of art? What can artists do? Tsong Pu never elucidates, but constantly reconsiders consciousness and perception … . (From Tsong Pu’s 2008 I Hate Takashi Murakami exhibition monograph)
