共生--人與自然的未來之繪畫創作研究

Abstract

高山、大地、海洋、森林、河流、土壤、微風，還有漫山遍野的植物以及在其中奔跑翱翔的動物們，這些是大自然最美麗的樣貌，早在人類出現在地球上的好久以前便已經存在。而人類剛剛開始出現的時期，也還是跟其他的所有生物一樣，依循著本能在大地上漫步。然而隨著「文明」的出現與發展，人類漸漸形成一種觀點，認為人為萬物之靈。工業革命之後，更是堅定了「人定勝天」的思維，開始肆無忌憚地掠奪大自然中的資源。 隨著環境破壞危及到其他物種的生存—更重要的是同時也危及到人類自身的生存—許多人開始思考我們與大自然共存的方式，該如何才能達到永續？ 許多環保生活的方法被提出，許多環境關懷的觀點引發思考，而筆者以創作者的角度，將自身的觀點化作圖像，帶領觀者共同思考我們對待其他物種的倫理、我們使用資源的方式以及人與自然的未來。 本研究探討人與自然的共生關係，以油畫創作的方式呈現出個人的觀點。藝術實踐過程以生態倫理學為基礎、生物的共生分類為比喻，探究人與自然在不同的共生模式下可能呈現的狀態，並進一步省思人類的未來。 本論文第壹章緒論說明了研究動機、方法與目的；第貳章探討生物學中的共生關係、生態倫理學，並從藝術作品分析不同藝術家的生態倫理觀及藝術表現形式；第參章呈現個人的生態倫理觀點及思想脈絡，並以四種不同的共生關係作為假設探討人與自然的未來；第肆章針對本系列油畫創作做內容、形式與技法的分析；第伍章就單件作品個別分析其內涵；第陸章則對本次系列創作研究做總結並給出未來期許。Mountain, land, sea, forest, river, soil, wind, and plants and animals living in this planet, these are the most beautiful things in nature that have existed long before humans. When humankind first appeared on this planet, they lived through their instincts just like all the other creatures. But, as civilized society had been built, people started to come up with the concept that humans are masters of the world. This concept led people to believe that man can dominate nature, and so, in the period following the Industrial Revolution, we began to harvest nature’s resources greedily.

As long as the environmental damage has threatened creatures’ lives — including humans as well — people started to think of a way of living together with nature. How can this relationship between us be sustainable?

There are a lot of eco-friendly ways to live that have been talked about, and a lot of eco-friendly concepts have been proposed. I try to transfer my views into painting, letting people discuss the way we treat our world and our future.

I tried to research the relationship between human and nature, and presented my views through oil painting. I used biology’s “symbiosis classification” to describe different situations of human and nature based on ecological ethics.

Chapter one includes the motivation, methods and purposes of this research. Chapter two is about symbiosis, ecological ethics and different perspectives from artworks. Chapter three shows my own personal perspective. Chapter four includes contents, forms and techniques of this series. Chapter five analyzes every work individually. In the last chapter I made a conclusion of this research and art practice.
