王興道,1963出生於南臺灣屏東,他長期生活在島嶼南方卻不斷去挖掘這塊土地之美,自2000年後,王興道在親手打造的鄉間工作室中沉潛,從造景工作和園藝植栽中省思自己未來繪畫的方向,在捨與得之間修行悟道。
其作品的構圖運用細膩纏山筆法與奔放的色彩,從特殊視覺的空間佈局,架構出寬廣遼闊的效果,讓觀者得以鳥瞰的方式延伸視覺的宏觀感,同時運用細密的點、線交織出遠可觀景近可玩味的感性結構;畫面中的香蕉、高松、矮凳或是近幾年假想的虛擬空間等,彷彿將時間停佇在畫面中形成寧靜的場域,有敘事情節的趣味性,也有從台灣島嶼環境中觀察入微的真實情境。
王興道以文人般的思維將其所過訪且流連不已的私密景點,幻化成一個又一個彷彿桃花源般的美好境地,在台灣這塊有感情的土地上,試著重組我們對台灣型態的記憶,也讓記憶滲透於空間中,一步一筆的引人對這塊島嶼的省思與期待,建構出獨特且形而上的新人文抒情。
Wang Sing-Dao 1963 was born in Pingtung, Taiwan, and has been active in the art circle of south Taiwan. He is engaged in traveling in Taiwan's mountains, rivers and forests. With a background of working on horticultural landscape design and after ten years of cultivation and observation, he again picked up the brush. Inspired by nature, he integrates Taiwan's geographical, human and inner meditation landscape, and between reality and imagination, hides the little Peach Blossom Land in the mind of artists in seemingly familiar scenery of Taiwan yet in the turning points of steep mountains, depicting the human landscape with canvas as the practice contemplation.
