Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 美術學系 === 101 === Abstract
The thesis is a study of Tan Kent-keong’s“Toys”series; it starts with the accumulation of signs in the life experiences, and exams some particular object or image that appears in the memory repeatedly. Take toy for example, the author returned to the childhood experiences to have a second thought of the symbolization for the traces remaining on the toys, and transform the original meaning of the sign to his own art language. Consciousness would be like fall into a swirl of disappearance but can be seeing repeatedly when imaginary spaces expanded unlimitedly. When facing those memories that can be seen but cannot return, the author creates “An elapsing phenomenon of peace land” by the speed of painting, the flash of emotional calling and the decrease of saturation.
The structure of the thesis contains four chapters: Creative motivation, Creative thinking and Art practice. First of all, introduce the portrayed contents of “Toys” series by “sign”, and explain the working progress by “Substitute formation” and “Kunstwollen”. Secondly, analyzing the effect of passing phenomenon on the creative thing of “Toys” series byciting different perspectives, such as “dream” in La Poétique de l'Espaceby Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962), “Kunstwollen” inAbstraktion und Einfühlung by Wilhelm Worringer (1881-1965)and “retentissement” mentioned by EugèneMinkowski (1885-1972). At last, explore the reasons of using toy as object in art and the expressive form by studying artists like Expressionist E. L. Kirchner (1880-1938) and C.Soutine from Ecole de Paris (1894-1943), and correspond toTan Kent-keong’sformal analysis of his art practice.
