Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 美術學系 === 100 === Abstract
I have studied arts since I was a senior high school student. At that time, I was enthusiastic about revealing my painting skill. After studying in the college, I realized that creation is not only to show the forms of beauty, but to question why we paint and why we create. In the graduate school, I looked back on my course of composition and discovered that “self” is the main element in my artwork. Life experiences are always my creating motive. I combine them with my external perception and internal thinking, trying to record and analyze myself. Like “the Eight Consciousnesses” in Buddhism, it deconstructs our reception and perception, also explains our purpose of existence.
The theory inspired me to explore myself in my artwork, and to generalize a conclusion from my context. Firstly, I express the feelings toward my hometown with the five consciousnesses from Buddhism (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). Secondly, I presented the mood from being in love, to marriage and childbirth. Thirdly, as a teacher, I tried to relocate myself from the interaction with my students, in order to prove my existence and influence. Finally, to explore the real me and return to the subject of life, also to form myself with the minimal substance; then I can regenerate myself in the circulation.
