作品賞析 Artwork Appreciation
繪畫中「簡」的概念是畫面最後所呈現的結果是一種抽象美學概念，同時將「象外之情、象外之意」傳達出心中之象為主要目的。以虛實論來說，「實」代表著視覺可看到的、觸及的「有」；「虛」則是「實」所帶來看不到、觸及不到，卻能使隱藏其中的情感表現提升至另一個層次的「無」。如同「山因隱而高大，江因藏而長遠」，留白的意義就是減去畫面局部畫面、要素，帶出更豐富的內容以及更高層次的感知體驗，畫面中所流出來的空白能夠帶給觀者無限的想像空間，而不被實際的形象所限制，讓情思不被畫面所限制，以畫外之話的形式傳達出去。
作品「存與失的延續」試圖探討虛實之間拉扯，透過膠彩顏料的特性反覆進行堆疊與刪減，將畫面過多的要素、敘事性去除，一方面提升畫面層次的豐富度，一方面，純粹保留客體的局部特徵，通過「指事性」的運用，配合以白為主調的畫面所帶來的空靈感可擴大觀者的想像空間，達到以最簡的形式創造最大的可能性，並找出隱藏於自身最深沉的「真」。
In painting, simplicity is an abstract aesthetic concept aimed at conveying the underlying sentiment or meaning beyond the visible image. Through the lens of reality and illusion, reality encompasses the visible and tangible, whereas illusion refers to the concealed elements that elevate emotional expression. As the saying goes, "Mountains appear lofty because of their hidden parts; rivers seem long because of their winding course." Embracing "blank" space in art means minimizing elements and details to unveil a richer narrative and a more profound perceptual experience. Such empty spaces invite boundless imaginative possibilities, freeing viewers from literal interpretations and allowing emotions to transcend the visual confines.
Continuity of Existence and Loss navigates the interplay between reality and illusion. By layering and subsequently stripping away elements using the nature of gouache paint, the artwork strips back to the essentials, avoiding excessive narrative details. This enriches the visual texture while retaining only the core attributes of the subject. Employing indicative techniques and a predominance of white tones fosters an ethereal ambiance, broadening the viewer's imaginative scope. The aim is to maximize expressive potential with the simplest form, revealing the deepest truths within oneself.
