疊層之間
2015
壓克力、養生膠帶

我對繪畫裡的色彩疊層、組合、編輯感興趣。繪畫內容從個人的記憶去尋找形體,大多是由第一筆帶動下一筆至結束。作品《Between layers to layers 1-6》是一系列探討繪畫上的空間,藉由媒材的特性和繪畫上疊層(layers)的方式,探討平面繪畫上由形、色及筆觸展現空間感的可能性。使用防塵膠帶此種具有透明性及輕薄的特性來實驗繪畫,將原本於一張畫布裡由一層層顏料的疊加及削減可完成的繪畫,將此動作抽出來一層層剖析。
以帶有透明性質料的疊合來進行物質及繪畫上的疊層,此疊層分為三種:一、顏料和顏料之間的疊層,二、疊層錯位(透明性材質的疊層及移位),三、疊層的兩面性(透明性材質的正、反面)。目的是實驗顏料和顏料之間附著在多層透明膠帶之間的重疊和錯位,並試著在畫面中找到和諧。如《Between layers to layers -5》,使用兩種不同的遮蔽膠帶(綠色布料遮蔽膠帶及黃色牛皮紙遮蔽膠帶)之外,並思考在繪畫裡兩面性的方式,即在平面繪畫上使用透明性材質,出現正面及背面兩種不同的繪畫結果。
2015年以後的創作,除了繼續使用畫布之外,另外使用養生膠帶(maskqol)做為材料,創作《疊層之間》(Between layers to layers)的一系列繪畫作品。疊層之間的空間展開是經由「疊」到「層」的創作過程,由此,我開始正式地意識到「疊層」在繪畫上的空間問題。「疊」作為筆觸;「層」為間距。換句話說,「疊」是作為顏料堆疊的手部動作,而「層」則疊層之結果所展開的間距。由此,研究者開始關注藉由層疊的方式,以養生膠帶所具有半透明材質的特性,經由一層一層的疊加,累積到一定的厚度之後(大約5至6層的膠帶),類似於油畫顏料的白色顏料,產生出類似霧白色的質地。養生膠帶的原來功能原是便於阻隔、屏蔽與保護,常被使用於裝潢整修工程之防護;此時卻變成了最便利、立即性的平面大幅畫布。養生膠帶使用時如同拉開一卷膠帶般,具有比描圖紙更加輕薄(約15-20磅)、透明性更甚的特性,而膠帶以下摺藏好的塑膠膜,在拉開的瞬間產生的靜電會將塑膠膜如同一股引力般吸附至牆上。因此,每一筆刷落在養生膠帶上的筆觸帶有一種斷裂、不連續的力,而每一層膠帶之間也形成許多不可計算的空間。另外,塑膠膜上有著細細的褶痕及紋路,形成塑膠膜上具有同一方向並襯著一條一條的透明直線痕跡,於材質上形成其特殊的質地。
在經由此繪畫實驗後提問,以養生膠帶取代畫布為顏料載體的創作,畫面中的疊層空間與古典油畫的疊層空間差別是什麼?當承載顏料的平面(畫布)替換成半透明性的養生膠帶時,繪畫空間發生了什麼變化?其中思考的關鍵問題是:若將平面繪畫上的層疊技巧,轉變為實際具有半透明感之物質之疊層,這一材料性與物質性的突出,以及從繪畫之基底入手,解決過去繪畫之技法問題,那麼,這一提問方式對於繪畫的虛空間和實空間、平面性與透明性問題,以及疊層關係呈現出的邊界特質,透過輕薄透明的塑料材質,在這一從材質語彙的置入的手段,是否能重新探索過去在繪畫中因相互重疊所產生的空間問題,以及因疊層動作的物質積累而來的間隙、皺褶和時間向度,與過去由透視法所形成的繪畫空間,當中關於物性的和間性的對辯關係,或許能夠開啟更多繪畫的可能性。​​​​​​​


Between Layers to Layers
2015, mixed media

The layers, composition and arrangement of colors exercised in painting fascinate me immensely. The content of a painting resides in personal memories. Most of the time, it is the first stroke that inspires the next to the end when the motif finally forms.
The art series, Between Layers to Layers 1-6, is to explore the space of painting. Via the distinctive nature of mixed mediums and the layer method practiced in painting, the possibilities of illustrating the sense of space presented by shapes, colors and lines on 2D paintings can be investigated. 
Dust prevention tape is utilized as a masker in this painting experiment for its light and translucent qualities. The increase and reduction of layers of paint on a canvas form a painting. This very action, adding or ridding colors by applying paint, is being scrutinized with each layer. 
Translucent mediums were painted and overlaid to exemplify the series. The layers can be classified into the following three: layers of colors, layers of mediums (the layers and relocating of the translucent mediums) and layers of the duel sides (the front and the back sides of the translucent mediums). The purpose of this experiment is to explore the relationships between colors and the mediums when the paint-attached translucent mediums are overlaid and then flipped over while attempting to create the congruity with the presented colors and composition in the painting. As two different kinds of tape maskers were employed in Between Layers to Layers – 5, green fabric tape and yellow Kraft paper tape. In addition, the duel-sided painting style is being tested by applying the paint to the translucent medium to demonstrate various results on the front and the back sides.
