藝術家自述

在當代藝術的世界裡，我追求「塗畫」(Drawing) 般開放自由的狀態，並以此為核心投入視覺藝術創作。在漫長歷史的技術革新演化下，人類日益依賴語言與文字，也因此產生了感知的「自我限制」。我感興趣的是在語言與文字出現之前，人類如何使用全感官來感知世界。

在台灣，「Drawing」常被翻譯成「素描」，而我將其定義為「塗畫」。這裡的「塗」是動詞，指涉塗寫、塗畫或塗鴉，它對我而言不是指一種藝術媒材或形式，而是對世界開展自由感知的媒介。藉由「塗畫」的精神，我得以自由發展視覺藝術的各種想像，在作品中打造出與萬物相連的詩意情境。

我近年一系列的水墨對話作品融合了無名作者的水墨紙本、鉛筆塗畫、流行織品與裝裱工藝，為當代水墨創作開展出全新的路徑。另一結合攝影與暗房影像及卷曲相紙創作的紙張雕塑系列，也在當代攝影中開展出新的風貌。這些皆是為了達到上述的「自由」，驅使我像拓荒者般不斷開拓視覺藝術的新領域。這之中也包括重新認識並反思藝術史及視覺藝術文化，但我的目的不在歷史性的考掘，而是試圖在其中提煉出新的文化價值。

ARTISTS STATEMENT

In the realm of contemporary art, I pursue a state of open freedom akin to “Drawing", which serves as the core of my engagement in visual artistry. Amidst the ongoing technological advancements throughout history, humanity has increasingly relied on language and text, resulting in a perceptual “self-limitation." My interest lies inunderstanding how humans perceived the world using all senses before the emergence of language and text.

In Taiwan, “Drawing" is often translated as “素描(sù miáo)," yet I define it as “塗畫(tú huà)." Here, “塗(tú)" serves as a verb encompassing writing, painting, or doodling. It’s not merely an artistic medium or form for me but a means to freely perceive the world. Through the spirit of “塗畫(tú huà)," I have the liberty to explore various visual art imaginaries, creating poetic scenarios interlinked with all things.

My recent series of dialogues in ink painting merge anonymous ink paintings, pencil drawings, contemporary textiles, and mounting techniques, opening up new paths in contemporary ink art. Another series involves paper sculpture created through the combination of photography, darkroom images, and curled photo paper, presenting a fresh facet within contemporary photography. These endeavors are all driven by the pursuit of “freedom" as I continuously explore new frontiers in visual artistry akin to an explorer. This includes a reexamination and reflection on art history and visual art culture. However, my aim isn’t historical excavation but rather the extraction of new cultural values from within.
