Panel Discussion：2009.11.21(Sat) 4:00 pm,
Panelist: Prof. Huang Hai-Ming, Critic Su Yu-An, and Wang Sean Opening：2009.11.07(Sat) 3:00pm Text/ Wang Sean The blank is the trigger of imagination, such as the canvas or foundations for the action of painting (also drawing), which explains the name of exhibition “Vision’s Ground Zero”; starting from zero, when a work had completed, another meaning has restarted. From zero to some value (number of measurable things or not, so does the language could be,) Vision’s Ground Zero reveals the action of looking at the painting on the instant. My works have different façade, I don’t want to reiterate the subject matters or modes I had done; each work is unique and independent, but they do link among some pieces. I regard painting as a process of research, so the trace of processing the experience is more important than having the painting done. I spent some times to think and experiment on those works, and I questioned myself: “how should those small but yet complete works to be done?” It’s not merely to fable a story or to fill out the canvas with colors, it’s a self dialectical process. Those themes on my works are from my daily life, the relationships in between and how to include them into my creations are my concern in visual art composition. The action of painting is like the linguistics which is about how to express a something. The process of completing a painting is to describe the meaning of some figures, images or form and it belongs to vision. To understand the expression through vision is what I am interested in. We can get some satisfaction from a painting is because we recognize it from the visual description, and sometimes we cannot tell anything from it. The shapes painted on the canvas are abstract which for example, we cannot draw or paint an actual star in the sky. This is the moment when imagination appears on the painting which is my major concern in my creations. Those blanks on my paintings are the key for viewers to open a different and yet wider space of imagination. It’s the conclusion of both imagination and process of creation. 文╱王璽安 空白之處總是引起某些想像，於是繪畫或是作品的開始是令人期待的。這也是展覽取名為〈視線的零度〉的原因：繪畫實體上（空白之處）從零開始，完成畫面後又是另外意義上的重啟：從零到有，視線的零度是透過繪畫的揭露。 我並不要自己只是在一種題材或是方式上重複，所以我的作品有幾種不同的樣貌； 每件個別作品可以是獨立的，或是兩、三件作品之間有所謂的關係存在。因為我將繪畫視為一種研究，所以對我來說，作品當中透過體驗留下的痕跡是重要的，創作的過程中並不僅是完稿。 這些作品我花了一些時間在思考以及實驗，並且有時我試圖問自己：“這些具體而微的工作，該怎麼繼續進行“。這些作品並不只是完成寓言的故事，或是把畫面滿滿的填完，所以常常在過程中我不斷自我辯證。 作品裡有些具體的題材，它其實來自於我生活當中的事物，這些事物彼此的關係以及它與成為一件如畫作品的可能，是我在視覺藝術構成中所關心的。 繪畫像是語言一般的事物，去描繪形象，也就像去說某件事情，而要說些什麼、或是如何去說往往也是我們日常生活中常常遇到的表達問題。但終究來說，即使繪畫的完成過程是為了表達些什麼形象意義，這並非語言。繪畫意義上則如同眾人所知道的：她直接屬於視覺。在視覺感官中去體會這種表達過程，是我感興趣的，這就好比我們能從畫面得到的某些滿足，是因為我們從表達當中認得了些什麼，當然也有可能並不認得些什麼。 這些作品，透露的是從零到有的觀看過程，好比說去描繪一棵樹的樣子，畫面上的樹並不是一棵真正的樹；或是去描繪星星，但我們了解，星星是無法真正被描繪的，畫面上所組成的圖像也就都是所謂抽象性的。或許這就是想像力在具體而微的畫面中出現的時刻，我將那些熟悉的經驗歸零而試圖追尋可能有的意義。 透過想像過程中去體會外在事物（如風景等等的題材）便是我創作所關心的問題，這其中或許會帶給看得人一些感受關於品味或是其他藝術的想像，於是這時候作品又開啟了歸零後的其他空間，這些作品的內容都為了一種更開闊的空間而生，它或許關於那些想像與創造過程的歸結。 |
