展覽介紹
人類文明的進化,來自於「想像力」的開拓,「神話」、「傳統」就是老祖宗們留給我們最好的借鑑。
《山海經》這部先秦古籍,充滿對宇宙萬物奇幻瑰麗的記述,內容涵蓋了地理、動物、植物、宗教、巫術、醫藥、民俗、歷史…。《山海經》最早的圖畫已失傳,直到明、清才又出現《山海經》珍奇異獸的圖繪,數千年來,這部奇書一直引人入勝。
林志勳選擇了《山海經》的內容作為在繪畫上重新詮釋的創作題材,用中國傳統的筆、墨、紙、色,以最現代的自我思維,開創21世紀《山海經》的新貌。既傳統,又新穎;既古典,又當代;既奇絕,又真趣;林志勳將藝術創作的純度,與亙古的渾沌時期對話。
在林志勳的心裡,正醞釀著一部《新山海經》的迸發。
Legendary creatures – Lin Jhih-syun’s Artistic World of Imagination
The evolution of human civilization stems from the expansion of “imagination.” “Myths” and “traditions” are the best references left to us by our ancestors.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, an ancient text from the pre-Qin period, is arguably one of the most imaginatively rich books in the history of Chinese civilization. It is filled with fantastical and magnificent descriptions of the universe and covers a wide range of topics including geography, animals, plants, religion, witchcraft, medicine, folklore, and history.
The earliest illustrations of the Classic of Mountains and Seas have been lost to time, and it wasn’t until the Ming and Qing dynasties that images of the rare and exotic creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas reappeared. Over the millennia, this remarkable book has continued to captivate readers.
Lin Jhih-syun has chosen the content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas as the subject for reinterpretation in his artwork. Using traditional Chinese brushes, ink, paper, and colors, he brings a modern perspective to create a new vision of the Classic of Mountains and Seas for the 21st century. His work is both traditional and novel, classical and contemporary, extraordinarily unique and genuinely intriguing. Lin Jhih-syun’s art dialogues with the purity of creation and the chaotic ancient times.
In Lin Jhih-syun’s mind, a new Classic of Mountains and Seas is in the making.
