Description
Summary:碩士 === 東方設計學院 === 文化創意設計研究所 === 99 === The statement of the study explores the theories and ideas of body painting, based on my own experiences of creation, the feminine awakening and introspection of gender awareness ideology, the art theories and the understanding of body aesthetic practice. Meanwhile, by the insight of creative practice and theories including discerning, clearness, understanding and realization, it suggests the meaning and values of creative action. The general and theoretical study of beauty of artistic works and the exploration of its methods and contents have been changing with the current of time. It also has the different interpretations because of races, beliefs and cultural differences, especially applied on design fields widely and blending into life art. The author, combining body lines with painting skills, creates the multi-style work of body painting. Furthermore, the thinking characteristics of being a female, the awakening of sexual consciousness and the realization of the inner-minded conversation to past life provide the important factors for my works. For a long time, the author has been spontaneously applying the theories of abstract on drawing lines in order to capture the spirit of my life. It has similar process with expressionism which seeks to express emotional experience and the search of spiritual reality. Therefore, it not only constructs the drawing space of creation, but also represents the realistic appearance. In terms of the subject of body painting, the author adopts feminine interpretations of sexes, physiological meaning and unconsciousness in surrealistic painting style to sketch the totems and symbols. At the same time, body painting on female body curves taking on prolific space differs from plat drawing. The existence and interlocking of reality and illusion show the reality of creation. That also expresses the reality of the author’s emotional illusive mind and manifests the beauty of body and feminine spirits. It forms my own creative style and IV thoughtfulness of the body style aesthetics. In the study, the author can realize the creative energy that originates my own penetration of inner sensation and the expression of my life emotions. The reative sequence of ideas contains the spiritually real philosophy of expressionism and the illusive world of surrealism. By the creative practice, the author brings up the self-contemplation to clarify the reality and illusion of my own existence and judges the creative meaning and values as well. In the future, the author expects to break through the life energy and to review my own introspection and action.
