「分心的種類 Mind the Mindless」是專注力被收斂的一刻,著魔的火團在清晨燃燒,無心/留心/分心/走心的種類全都望向彼此。
試想當代生活四景:當你沉浸其中,不自覺地跟著YouTube廣告音樂搖擺;覺得此人露腹肌的自拍真吸引人,卻發現此人是以武力參與政治運動的防暴警察;受畫作吸引,卻被空間中錯誤的音樂打擾;看著朋友躺在大海中的自由景象,卻發現海浪聲是版權音樂。精神作嘔的瞬間,感覺自己靈性盡失。
溫金金沒辦法直接討論靈性,但她觀察生活和電影,擷取並畫出受網路圖像啟發的「無身體人物」,並對著畫外的些許人——令人刺眼的怒視,輕笑。
在溫金金的繪畫中,色彩是敘事與物質張力的核心。明亮的螢光綠與深黑色構成了畫面的強烈對比結構,綠色以潑灑的方式流動於畫面,或以乾刷技法呈現出輕薄而透光的層次。在人物的雙足周圍,從暗苔綠、煙霧綠到霧灰、煤黑的多重色階被擦拭進畫布,留下具手感的痕跡。散落的紙屑顆粒緊貼畫面,如同被抽去空氣的薄膜,引發一種直觀、具觸感的臨場感。未上色的雙腿保持裸露,引導視線遊走於色塊與空白之間的邊界。在這裡,色彩不只是顏色本身,而是姿態、殘留,以及視覺上的對抗力量。
她的繪畫試著讓我們彷彿從很遠的地方審視我們的時代。畫中的主角不會看著你,而是完全專注在自己的事情上。
"Mind the Mindless" attempts to capture a moment, like an enchanted fire burning at dawn. Different states of mind—unaware, attentive, distracted, or devoted—gaze at each other.
Imagine four scenes of contemporary life: you find yourself swaying to the music of a YouTube ad; you're captivated by a selfie showing abs, only to discover the person is a riot police officer known for abusing power with violence in political movements; you're drawn to a painting but disturbed by the wrong music in the exhibition space; you watch a friend float in the ocean, only to realize the sound of waves is copyrighted music. In that nauseating moment, you feel spiritually drained.
Wen Gum Gum cannot discuss spirituality, but she observes life and film, creating ‘bodiless figures’ inspired by internet images, casting a wry smile at those outside the canvas.
Her paintings invite us to review our time from a distance. The subjects in the paintings do not look at you; they are entirely absorbed in their own world.
