Back to Originality and Simplicity:  Japanese contemporary Ink exhibition Part2 / 日本當代水墨展 Part2

台北では、日本當代水墨展 Part2が始まっています!
岡西の墨書、ぜひご覧ください。


水墨畫源於中國,千年來發展成亞洲文化符碼,更是東方美學的象徵。日本水墨畫始於鐮倉時代(1185-1333年),受中國繪畫的影響很深。此次以「返璞歸真」為題,介紹日本戰後至今的當代水墨發展,他們的共同特點是打破水墨傳統、摒棄金碧重彩、或具象山水,以單純墨色變化,創造抽象空間,以簡約線條和筆觸,表達精神內涵。

Part2展出的藝術家包括:白髮一雄是日本具體派代表人物之一,他以腳踩壓顏料滑行作畫,成為日本行動繪畫之先驅;鷲見康夫將物質與精神的融合,回到人類原本初心;嶋本昭三也是日本具體派代表人物之一,他捨棄傳統用筆的水墨創作方式,強調對偶發之必然性的探索;藤原志保的造型,受到自然中大樹扎根力量啟發,充滿自然純真的抽象表現;上原木呂的擦印,建構出反映空間、物體浮游與意識反覆的畫面;海老原露巖對水墨和書法的強烈執著,使他的墨彩與想像交融時,綻放出清新而柔美的詩意;岡西佑奈的心靈,真實地反映在作品中,藉由水墨書畫,為世界和平的祈願;川島優以簡約的黑白色調描繪出精緻線條空間,其纖細且大膽的手法,呈現一種現代感。

延續Part1的主軸,我們從多元的藝術家作品中,看到融合純粹性、當代性和國際性的日本當代水墨藝術新脈絡。

Originated in China, ink art has become not only the cultural code of Asia but also the symbol of Eastern aesthetics. Deeply influenced by Chinese painting, Japanese ink art began in the Kamakura Era (1185-1333). From postwar to contemporary, “Back to Originality and Simplicity” introduces the development of Japanese contemporary ink art. The common characteristics of works from these periods are the abandonment of heavy colour and figurative landscape. Breaking the tradition by its ombré effect, the simple line and brushstroke of ink create an abstract space to express Japanese spirituality.

PART 2 of the exhibition includes: as one of the representatives of Japanese GUTAI group, Kazuo SHIRAGA spread paints with his feet and became the pioneer of action painting in Japan. Combining materiality and spirituality, Yasuo SUMI returned to the original aspiration of humanity; Shozo SHIMAMOTO was another key figure of Japanese GUTAI group who had given up the technique of traditional ink painting to explore the necessity of spontaneity. Inspired by the vitality of nature, the pure abstractions are fully expressed in the arts of Shiho FUJIWARA. The technique of erasing-print by Kiro UEHARA has constructed composition of space, flowing objects and repetitive consciousness. The dedication Rogen EBIHARA has for ink and calligraphy allows him to blend his imagination with ink, creating a sense of refreshingly soft poetry. In search of world peace, the soul of Yuuna OKANISHI is sincerely reflected in her ink works. The silver lines in her new series “Blue Song” act as a representation of shark which swims gracefully in the ocean, expressing the importance of animal and environmental protection. Detailed yet bold, the black and white works of Yu KAWASHIMA have built a sense of modernity through his exquisite use of line and space.

Further developed from the core of Part 1, what we see within these diverse artworks is the combination of purity, contemporaneity and internationality in the sequence of ideas in Japanese contemporary Ink art.
