線上藝廊:【“?” Drawing Installation art】
2024-11-27|撰文者:Teng jing ping
構思此系列作品原意為擷取時代精華,探索人類生存的意義。每個問題與方向都是當下重要的風景,生存意識對外界的慾望與擴張,形成每個生命體的動力來源,隨著掌握更多知識的演進,人類開創絢麗燦爛的文明,知識演進與擴張慾望交織出人類世界的面貌,最終會導向哪一種結局?
貫穿繪畫作品的文本——蘋果與蛇跟人的關係,藉著藝術時代象徵探討人類各時代思維。人類如何運用智慧與渴望發展出絢麗的時代?為何會演變成為如此絢麗的形式與色彩?每個時代的人們是否迷失在智慧發展的思潮?

這問題應該會是一個開放性問題,也是自我前進的動能。人類「生存」本質意義就是跟外界交互運作的過程,生命的目的或許是讓人類體驗宇宙創造的歷程。藝術創作即是從中擷取其奧義?每幅作品擷取代表性藝術風格,透過典故挪移與跨時代對話的創新,提出存在與發展的問題。借古喻今,思索未來的可能性。
實體裝置作品被螢幕吸入的人體,隱含著這一大哉問吞噬人心的狀態,人類就像是貪吃蛇被自己創造物所吞噬。
The intention behind this series of works is to capture the essence of the times and explore the meaning of human existence. Each question and direction represents an important landscape of the present, where the consciousness of survival, driven by desires and expansions toward the external world, serves as the source of motivation for each life form. As humanity evolves and gains more knowledge, we create a vibrant and splendid civilization. The interplay between the evolution of knowledge and the desire for expansion shapes the landscape of human existence, ultimately leading to what kind of conclusion?
The text that runs through the paintings—exploring the relationship between the apple, the serpent, and humanity—delves into the thinking of different eras through the symbolism of art. How do humans harness wisdom and desire to develop vibrant epochs? Why does it evolve into such dazzling forms and colors? Have people in each era become lost in the currents of intellectual development?
These questions are open-ended, serving as a driving force for self-advancement. The essence of human "survival" lies in the process of interaction with the external world; perhaps the purpose of life is to allow humanity to experience the journey of cosmic creation. Artistic creation seeks to extract its profound meanings from this experience. Each piece of work captures representative artistic styles, innovatively engaging in inter-temporal dialogue through allusions, raising questions about existence and development. By drawing from the past to reflect on the present, we contemplate the possibilities of the future.
The physical installation, depicting a human figure being absorbed by a screen, subtly conveys the grand question of a state that consumes the human heart. Humanity, like a gluttonous serpent, risks being devoured by its own creations.
