創作自述 Artist Statement

此系列展出作品主要是以「景」為題材。大概都是在我無聊時騎車到處亂晃的取景。因為我住在南部,騎車所到的範圍就落在嘉義台南之間,有時候是在兩個城市之間的省道,也有是往山區或海邊的小徑或村落。我總是看到農田’雜草、鐵皮屋、柏油路、也看到廟宇、節慶車隊水洩不通,當然更多時候是空蕩蕩什麼人也沒有的不起眼景色。這些景色在不同的時間或不同的心情上讓我決定將它們成為「題材」,成為可以下筆的動力。畫圖對我來說或許是逃離現實世界的一種方式,但這種逃離,其實是像個浪蕩者跟現實保持距離,冷眼觀察,避免一窩蜂地沉浸在當代之中。

This series focuses on the theme of "Scenery". Most of them are moments that I capture from driving around out of boredom. I live in the south, the range of "Scenery" sets is between Chiayi and Tainan, sometimes it’s on the provincial highway between the two cities, and sometimes on the trails or villages to the mountains or the sea. I always see farms, weeds, tin houses, roads, temples, traffic jams, and of course more often they are empty and unremarkable scenery with no one around. This scenery let me decide to add them as "subjects" and become the motivation for me to paint. Drawing may be a way for me to escape from reality, but this kind of escape is actually more like an outsider keeping a distance from the real, observing coldly, and avoiding being swarmed and immersed into the contemporary.
