距離上一次公開展出,已有四年;這期間我在民間企業職場裡摸爬打滾混口飯吃,感覺最回魂、最貼近自我的時刻,僅僅是工作疲憊之餘,那一小冊拚貼塗畫簿。那本簿子裝載了幾年來,運用大量廢棄雜誌、廣告宣傳單、網路搜尋引擎圖庫上揀選的現成圖像,斷斷續續、細細瑣瑣的拼貼集合,或者塗抹;它們長得奇形異狀,雖然明明每個元件都是具象的現成圖像,然而將之組合在一個圖面上時,卻形成難以被明確指稱為某具體形象,或者故事的奇怪畫面,我彷彿是依著本能般地做了出來,我甚至無可向別人解釋,自己為甚麼創造「說不太出來它是甚麼」的東西。那些圖面,一直保持著被我緩慢間續繕改變化的狀態,直至今日,簿子裡仍有未被完成的版頁及空白之處。
此次展覽,我把這個概念放進海馬迴,在尺幅比拚貼簿要大上許多的空間裡,嘗試某種能盡量不依循一定的路徑或常規、慣性的創作──不論是製造它的過程,抑或是它被觀眾閱讀的時候;我期待它是不太能被辨識為「某種甚麼」的作品,無法輕易被描述或歸納出它是某個具體而大家已知的東西,並且在展期間,它會一直持續在生長變化中。
所以當你來到展場,很可能會一頭霧水地問說「這到底是在做甚麼」;而我認為,這也就是你可以恣意妄膽地說「它是甚麼」的時刻……。
It’s been four years since my last public presence in art world. During those years, I submerge myself within white collar battle field struggling for living. The very moment I felt alive after exhausted daily routine was when I am playing with my collage sketch book. It loaded with lots and lots of scrapes from out dated magazine, flyers and images from google search. They were continuous collaged, pasted and smudged into a weird but organic components. If you inspect them individually, they are all tangible graphics. When collaged together they are unidentified and refuse to be linked to any narrative stories. They just come out of my instinct. There are no words come out of me why I create those unexplainable images. They always keep in the condition of continuous patched and reformed. Even now, there are still unfinished and blank pages left to be filled.
In this exhibition, I adapt this concept into real space which is quite magnified one. Try not to follow any routine or familiar ways of my past art works, no matter how they are produced or how they will be digested by the audience. I expect they become something unidentified and can not be categorized or to be described to something we could name it. And they will keep changing during the exhibition.
Maybe you will ask ‘what the hell it is?’ when you show up in the gallery and, in my opinion, it is also the moment you could shout boldly ‘what the hell it is!’.
