Description
Summary:碩士 === 台南應用科技大學 === 美術研究所 === 99 === Procreation is the essential process of life continuation and the theme of the painter’s early period creations. With the progression and experience accumulation of the painter’s artistic creation, such simple thought becomes the catalyst and various thinking/reception are also developed. The discourse can be summarized as follows: A. The motive of creation: express the affection and ideas toward life procreation from the point of view as a mother. B. Theoretical basis: to explore and analyse animals/plants morphology as the painter has added these elements into her artistic creation under the influence of symbols, formations and sub-consciousness. The implication of the artistic creations is also the extension of these animals and plants’ symbolic meanings. For example, pomegranates’ seeds, the thriving harvest of melons and tadpoles’ proliferation all carry symbolic metaphors in the painter’s works. C. The forms of creations: express the idea on life reproduction through media such as sculptures, embossment and paintings. For example, the earthly mother’s cultivation on God’s creations shows a mother’s admiration on the greatness of the nature and the delight on the traditional values such as perpetual inheritance and good fortune of plenty of sons/grandsons. Such comprehensions further transform to the spirit of Buddhism and the painter experiences the state of mind such as the awakening in a flash of insight, no hindrance and detached from the restraint of the world. D. The analysis of representative works: an ordinary mother expresses the idea about life reproduction with her artistic creation. The painter shows her works in four series followed by the order of works’ completion. Except for showing the thoughts on life reproduction, the transition of the painter’s mental state of mind can also be seen through her artistic creation career. E. Conclusion and future prospect: come to the understanding that only love is perfect and true through creation. Lives thriving and continuous reproduction can only exist with love which helps the painter confirm the direction of her future prospect on creation. With such understandings, the creations deliver the conviction of no love, no lives; only love could draw people’s attentions and allow them to see the world full of love, happiness and goodness.
