視覺藝術中金魚形象之研究——林君芳繪畫創作論述

Abstract

金魚，天生的表象優勢於集體豢養且透過人工培育後，成為流傳千古的觀賞玩物。長久與之共處之下，人類逐漸對其產生不同面向的期待與精神寄託：審美期待和象徵寓意。金魚本是作為觸動視覺官能的娛樂，但經由視覺將其形象滯留於潛意識裡，並對於生活環境的冀望抑或是對未來產生的未知感到不安，因此將心理的意識念想投向金魚，而逐漸形成文化社會中無需文字語言的象徵形象；而至今的科技社會中，因人對科技的展現與視覺官能刺激需求愈趨膨脹，可見金魚的體態逐漸朝向精緻化甚至極端的方向呈現，此現象的發展也讓金魚產生新的意義詮釋；因此時間流逝下，金魚給予人的信息或意義呈現亦不斷的變動與增加。在千年的歷程中，金魚不斷地因人的意識欲求，由內而外的產生不同內涵的體現或直觀解釋，在此載體成形的過程中，是基於何種因素而形成一隻隻嬌小卻海納眾多意識形態的金魚，即是於此次研究探討之方向。第一章闡述筆者與金魚間的連結而產生研究的動機，並梳理出完整的研究目的與方向；第二章針對各式金魚形象的功能探討，藉由符號、圖像和影像等視覺形象，分為物質視覺性、象徵性及意指性三個部份，分析金魚形象的源起和影響；第三章則陳述筆者的創作歷程及文本根據的影響，何以朝向金魚創作中的元素與理念的建構；第四章介紹筆者於〈金魚索麻〉作品的細節內容與思維；最後，總結則將前述的理學文本、社會環境經驗，結合筆者自身對金魚的省思與藝術的踐履，將內容統整歸論並導向於此論文研究之目的。
