虛・白・出新－陳美吟水墨創作論述

Abstract

此研究是以「虛」、「白」、「出新」為主題，探討筆者自進入研究所階段2016年到2019年間，經過學習檢視過往的脈絡以及創作歷程，透過繪畫的自省與創造再次面對生命課題，本研究第一章從一開始不能理解何時是生命的終點？到接受生命也有起承轉合，書畫是陪伴筆者也是心情抒發與轉化的窗口，藉創作過程觸及生活中所有情緒色彩的潛在層次，從而由我們現存的狀態釋放情緒的能量。第二章從莊子人間世篇「心齋」中，「虛室生白」，人間之道觀念談起；及「虛」－空、無、陰柔之美；和「白」－純淨、道的力量。經由研究傳統觀念的築基過程中，思想的改變再連結當代思維產生質變，第三章是創作理念與實踐，作品創作內容以生長土地上的白花作為串連元素，及創作與名家作品對應。經過直觀的寫生寫實的「直觀系列」；到打開心門連接室內、室外的寫心寫情，到打開心內的門窗的「窗系列」；最後是經過不同方式的想法、紙材、抽離物象的寫生、經過不同方法的嘗試、思想的融合，重新思考轉化運用到水墨創作。 以老莊、太極、佛學、美學觀念、前人的智慧作為創作思想的根基，以水墨創作方式重新架構新的畫面空間，回歸內在的探索，再進一步連接人與人、人與自然間哪種和諧共處的關係，並藉由畫面傳達對美的追求。
