| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 美術創作碩士班 === 97 === Abstract
My artwork derives from photographic images. I document dribs and drabs of the quotidian by taking pictures of everyday settings and using them as painting materials. When I painted the Narrative and Life Goes On as Usual series between 2004 and 2008, I created a great many fluid traces on these paintings by applying large amounts of low chroma oil paint, then juxtaposed different moments of life on the same picture plane by simultaneously using daubs of paint and scraping techniques. This in turn produced a backlight silhouette effect, imparting a sense of alienation and instability. These works primarily focus on exploring how images influence the life of the younger generation, and seek to achieve a visual balance between photography and painting.
Chapter One begins with a detailed introduction of my research motivation and aim, field of research, and methodology. Chapter Two focuses on the discussion of images. In addition to investigating the charm of an image-saturated society and its influence on cultural, historical, and psychological conditions, I also briefly review how the development of photography has changed people’s everyday lives, and further analyze the dialectical relationship between photography and painting. Chapter Three describes how, by observing the elusive transitions of everyday lives and exploring memories and time, I did a series of paintings between 2007 and 2008 on the theme of “life.”
Chapter Four examines how “photographic images” are present and function in my Life Goes On as Usual Series, and analyzes various expressive painting techniques employed in my work, as well as how my impression of images is reflected in the paintings. This chapter also includes a discussion of the storyline contained in my work, and its connection to contemporary art. Finally, Chapter Five compares and contrasts my work and the work of three painters – Gerhard Richter, Michel Majerus and Corinne Wasmuht – in terms of temporal background, form, style and content.
