從有我之鏡到有她之境－王婷《閨密系列》繪畫創作研究

Abstract

人對自己的認識常是透過與他人的互動，在他人的觀點、評價中形成自我的意念與價值。閨密就像是對應的鏡子，透過語言、相處模式、彼此投射和同化，相互映照，進而認識自己，如同雅各‧拉岡（Jacques Lacan，1901~1981）的鏡像理論（Mirror Stage）和他者（Other）所闡述的論點，而閨密關係正符合建構主體與他者的要素。女性友誼不僅意味著溫暖，更是藝術創作上的靈感源泉，女性之間無可替代的情感，形成一種獨特的力量，可成為藝術工作者的創作能量。這種關係中的情感深度、精神交流、相互支持足以作為繪畫創作探討的主題。 閨密的普遍性和社會脈動有密不可分的關係，這和女性意識的覺醒有很大的關聯，女性主義是後現代主義的一環，後現代主義認為人與人之間的關係不僅是由社會規範和期望形成的，也是由個人和集體對這些規範和期望的詮釋和重新建構形成的；強調個體的獨特性，支持並尊重各種形式的人際關係，包括跨性別、跨族群、跨文化等各種多元和非傳統的關係。而現今的閨密之間正好切合後現代主義的多元性和跨性別精神，也是筆者將閨密視角提升至創作力驅動的關鍵。本研究從閨密的角度發想，藉由女性間友誼的鏡像反射探索自我，並透過閨密關係開啟藝術另一片天地。在繪畫創作上，以表現主義內涵建構繪畫的形式與內容，試圖從閨密與主體關係探索藝術，結合個人情感與朋友共有的情感經驗，豐富自己藝術創作的風格和題材。People often understand themselves through interactions with others, and form their own ideas and values based on other people's opinions and evaluations. Best friends are like corresponding mirrors, reflecting each other through language, interaction patterns, mutual projection and assimilation, and then understanding themselves, just like Jacques Lacan's (1901~1981) Mirror Stage theory and The argument elaborated by the Other, and the close relationship is in line with the elements of constructing the subject and the Other. Female friendship not only means warmth, but also a source of inspiration for artistic creation. The irreplaceable emotions between women form a unique force that can become the creative energy of art workers. The emotional depth, spiritual communication, and mutual support in this relationship are enough topics to explore in painting creation. The universality of besties is inseparable from the pulse of society, which is closely related to the awakening of female consciousness. Feminism is a part of postmodernism. Postmodernism believes that the relationship between people is not only caused by Social norms and expectations are formed by individuals and collectives’ interpretation and reconstruction of these norms and expectations; emphasizing the uniqueness of individuals, supporting and respecting various forms of interpersonal relationships, including cross-gender, cross-ethnic, and cross-cultural relationships and a variety of diverse and non-traditional relationships. Today's best friends are in line with the diversity and transgender spirit of postmodernism, which is also the key for the author to elevate the perspective of best friends to one driven by creativity. This study starts from the perspective of best friends, explores the self through the mirror reflection of friendship between women, and opens up another world of art through the relationship between best friends. In terms of painting creation, I construct the form and content of paintings with expressionist connotations, try to explore art from the relationship between close friends and subjects, combine personal emotions and emotional experiences shared by friends, and enrich the style and subject matter of my own artistic creation.
