曲德義 作品清冊 CHU TEH-I ARTWORK LIST
猶如頑童般瀟灑恣意地挑戰自我,曲德義對色彩的掌握及材質間衝突的美感呈現,總是有獨到的見解,在畫面的色彩與空間感的塑造層面,不斷提出別於既往的大膽嘗試。畫作多表現出正負空間不斷交錯的平面,創造出視覺空間的跳躍性,色彩間的融合及使用層層乳膠堆疊產生的曖昧地帶,加上藝術家在法國學習到的特殊打磨技法,平和地讓不同圖層在二維空間交錯並置、相互印證,在視覺上掀起一股莫名的騷動。藝術家更試圖在畫布平面中探索空間之外的空間,或許是長時間對形色的研究,看似感性天真的顏色加上嚴謹節制的形式,融合東西文化由內在經驗所激盪出的抽象作品,一次又一次超越色彩與形式的界線。
Chu Teh-I constantly challenges himself with a kidult-like carefree spirit. He always shows unique insights as to how an artist can manipulate colors and aestheticize the conflicts among materials. Chu constantly makes unprecedented, bold attempts at creating a profound sense of color and space through brilliant compositions. Most of his paintings demonstrate the intersection of positive and negative spaces, from which an aesthetically pleasing visual inconsistency emerges. The fusion of colors and the ambiguous area created by superimposed latex, together with the special sanding technique that Chu mastered during his stay in France, create different layers of paint that intersect harmoniously on the two-dimensional plane. Their intersection and mutual-reference give the viewers an inexplicable visceral thrill in terms of vision. Chu takes a further step to explore the spaces beyond the surface of the canvas. The artist’s extensive research into forms and colors, profound knowledge of oriental and occidental cultures, as well as surges of personal experiences collectively result in his fascinating abstract paintings that not only brim with sentimental and innocent colors as well as rigorous and restrained forms, but also transcend the rigid confines of colors and forms time and again.
