作品敘述
2022 年,帕斯卡・凡德葛瑞夫這位戴著荷蘭皇家藝 術獎光環的藝術家,決定突破傳統的繪畫形式,直接將畫 布摺起來,以環氧樹脂定型;他選用現代科技的變色龍漆 為塗料,卻運用古典的繪畫技法細膩地鋪陳色彩,讓顏色 隨著自然的光影而改變。觀看的時候,隨著角度切換,畫 作的顏色也隨之變動,畫作不再停留於平面,而是立體的 空間,形成一種無限的觀覽。
〈真宰〉高 216 公分,寬 162 公分,巨大的畫布構 築成跌宕的山勢,或高或低,或陡或緩,山巒間平緩之處 或寬或狹,有如蜿蜒於內的道路。
帕斯卡掙脫了具象的枷鎖,將顏色落於崎嶇彎轉的 立體畫布中。有意思的是,畫布自然的摺起,宛若 15 世 紀末米開朗基羅〈聖殤〉中聖母厚重的衣褶。那些山巒般 的立體面折射出彩虹般的光澤,你若閒情,可以漫步其中 小道,但對更多浮沈於世的人們而言,中央銀色的天際映 照出朝聖之路的嚮往,鏡射了漫漫人間世裡無論如何走 過、繞過,最終都能看見的純粹自我。
In 2022, Pascal van der Graaf, the Dutch Royal Art Award winner, decided to break through the traditional painting form by folding the canvas directly and shaping it with epoxy. He chose modern chameleon paint, but used classical skills to put on the colors delicately, so the colors change with the natural light. As the angle of watching is switched, the color of the painting also changes accordingly. The painting is no longer a plane, but a three-dimensional space, contributing to an infinite viewing.
"True Governor" is 216 cm high and 162 cm wide. The huge canvas is constructed into undulating mountains, which may be high or low, steep or slow. The gentle places between the mountains are wide or narrow, like winding roads.
Pascal broke free from the shackles of representation, and put the colors on the rugged and curved canvas. What's interesting is that the natural folding of the canvas is like the thick folds in Michelangelo's "Pieta" at the end of the 15th century. Those mountain-like surfaces reflect rainbow-like luster. If you are free, you can stroll along the trails; but for most people, the central silver sky mirrows the pure self that can be seen in the end no matter how you pass by or go around in the earthy world.
