| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 藝術與設計學系所 === 107 === This thesis will be a study of my series paintings in graduate school from 2016 to 2018. It will be an interpretation of the visual expression on mechanical structures of animal motions as well as the consciousness of the subject. Furthermore, it will be a visual and psychological analysis on the transformation of personal subject.
In Chapter One, “Preface”, I will derive from Franz Kafka’s (1883-1924) Die Verwandlung (1915), explore the main motive of illusions. The authentic emotions beneath the objects will be discovered through the supernatural mechanisms in the form of animals and expressed through the segmentation of Cubism painting.
In Chapter Two, “Subject Consciousness in Transformation” , I will utilize animal images and mechanical forms as painting objects and the subject of illusions. By examining the modelling structures of my paintings in the past two years, I aim to make a search for my earlier paintings. I tend to use subjects of imaginative consciousness to project my own self-consciousness. On the other hand, these subjects also manipulated my ideology. I discovered the meaning and logic of these illusions so as to explore their relationship with my life experiences.
In Chapter Three, “Illusion World”, I’ll apply the concepts of the imaginary Cyborg and human- manipulated Avatar to explain the rules of the illusion world with regard to the structural mechanism, and how the rules were created and developed. The “structure” becomes a symbol to show the extended consciousness of the subject that is related to my childhood dreams. It demonstrates an attached relationship between the illusion world and my oppressed self in the past.
In Chapter Four, “Analysis”, I’ll present the result and descriptions of my research through the “Monologue of Conscious Escape” series, the “Inside-the-Brain Illusion” series, the “Transform” series, the “Face” series, and the “Artificial Stories” series.
In Chapter Five, “Conclusion”, I’ll make a conclusion of this study about the outcome of self-discovery through illusions.
