作品敘述
自古文人墨客多寄情於山水，如：山、川、湖、海，即是對現狀的隱喻、亦是寄望未來的載體、容器，使人得以抒發情感、舒解思緒。曹植途經洛水，憶起與甄氏相遇之情景，文思激盪便寫下了《洛神賦》；黃公望看盡仕途虛渺，斷然返璞歸真，畫出了《富春山居圖》。而當代藝壇巨擘葉子奇旅居紐約十九年，經歷遊子異鄉千迴百轉的生命錘鍛，苦嚐離別家園千絲萬縷的鄉愁，為他的作品增添了離散之美。自二〇〇六年從紐約返鄉定居，至今已又過了十七個寒暑，他仍勤勤筆耕，以他特有的視角、生命經驗、離散美學，形構故土山水的千姿百態，映照出藝術家的幽秘心境。
《合歡山之霧》以山霧為主角，繚繞在氣勢磅礡的合歡山岳，朦朧的霧氣由上而下悄然無息地漫過，滲透山林每一吋土地，濃霧之時，將翠綠的山頭染白，一道由白至綠的漸層油然而生。當你獨行徘徊山間，眼前的迷霧迎面而來，前方煙雲飄渺，剎那間你以為已到了山的盡頭，壯膽踏步前行，驚覺又一座山峰矗立前頭。林中的樹被風吹動，鐵杉與冷杉相互唱和，別過頭才看見合歡山的一陣雲瀑，片刻乍現、轉瞬即逝。
堅若磐石的山，在此刻、在此畫，成為映襯蒼茫雲霧的舞台，霧幻化成深不可測的樣貌，雲遊於此，待水氣散去，山景依舊。葉子奇老師畫筆下的山與霧，景象壯麗、神秘，總能將人帶入無盡的思緒中。
Since ancient times, literati and scholars have often poured their emotions into landscapes— mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. These natural elements serve as metaphors for the present, vessels of hope for the future, and containers for expressing emotions and soothing thoughts. When Cao Zhi 1 passed by the Luo River, memories of his encounter with Lady Zhen stirred his poetic inspiration, and he penned the famous "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River." Similarly, Huang Gong-Wang, disillusioned with the uncertainties of officialdom, returned to simplicity and painted the renowned "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." In contemporary art, the virtuoso Tzu-Chi Yeh, who lived in New York for 19 years and experienced the twists and turns of a wanderer in a foreign land, tasted the intricate nostalgia of leaving home, adding a touch of dispersion to his works. Since his return to Taiwan from New York in 2006, seventeen years have passed, yet he diligently cultivates his art, weaving the myriad facets of his homeland's landscapes with his unique perspective, life experiences, and aesthetics of dispersion, reflecting the artist's mysterious state of mind.
"In the Mist of Mount Hehuan" revolves around the theme of mountains and mist. Enveloping the majestic Mount Hehuans, the ethereal mist descends quietly, permeating every inch of the land, painting the verdant mountaintops white, as a gradual gradient from white to green emerges. As you wander alone amidst the mountains, the mist before you approaches, concealing the path with its hazy allure. For a moment, you may think you've reached the end of the mountain, but as you bravely move forward, you discover another peak standing tall ahead. The trees in the forest sway with the wind, and fir and spruce harmoniously sing their song. When you turn around, you catch a glimpse of a cloud waterfall at Mount Hehuan - a fleeting moment, gone in an instant.
The resolute and unwavering mountains become a stage against the vast expanse of clouds and mist. The mist transforms into an unfathomable spectacle, and the clouds roam freely, waiting for the moisture to disperse, leaving the mountain scenery unchanged. Under Tzu-Chi Yeh's brush, mountains and mist take on a magnificent and mysterious aspect, leading viewers into endless contemplation.
