精神漫遊

 
 

 
 
Mark Rothko (1903-1970),一代抽象表現主義大師(abstract expressionist)。他最著名同時屬於他晚期的作品,大多由對比強烈的大幅色塊構成--困、破、出、入、侵、融、推、撞、壓、浮、沉,一幕幕色彩與色彩的鬥爭,對抗,對話,沒完沒了。

貼在巨幅的真跡面前,除了靜下來,觀看,思考,默想,試著與 Rothko 神遊交心外,你很難再做(到)其他的事情。

Rothko 是一個非常用心去思考和探討藝術本質的藝術家。但他對藝術的見解卻不像他的畫作般,外表看來「艱澀」,他往往三言兩語便一針見血,十分厲害:

"To us art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only be those willing to take the risks."

"I believe that a painting can only communicate directly to a rare individual who happens to be in tune with it and the artists."

"The progression of a painter's work, as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity: toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, and between the idea and the observer."

"No possible set of notes can explain our paintings. Their explanation must come out of a consummated experience between pictures and onlooker."

"It is our function as artists to make the spectator see the world our way, not his way."

 
邊看邊筆錄。你說,他是不是很厲害?

走到最後,當看到上面的這一幅時(Untitled, 1970),我看到它預告了 Rothko 的自殺--那是一個極敏感又憂傷卻從來都絕不妥協的靈魂,在血泊中幻化成一縷煙,隱沒在空氣間,飄往他心目中真正寧靜的地方。

看著他的作品,隨著色塊起伏跌宕,我深呼吸了很多次。太沉重了。
 
若你正在抑鬱中,又脆弱而敏感,切勿切勿去看,你會受不住的。
 
 
P.S. 展覽正在香港藝術館舉行至六月四日,詳情請點擊上圖。
 
P.S.2. 若你一向少接觸藝術,「覺得自己唔識睇」;首先,其實沒有懂與不懂之分,你有屬於自己的體會和感受便夠,亦沒有「對錯」之分的;另外,我會建議你看的時候,先站遠一點觀看整幅畫,然後觀察每種顏色的形態和在畫裡的變化,再將色彩和你就那顏色而聯想到的情感 / 情緒 / 價值 / 氣氛等等連繫起來,試試會不會感到心頭有情緒湧動,或者聯想到一些情景。

P.S.3. 當年印象派展覽幾近萬人空巷,將展廳擠個水洩不通。這次抽象表配主義大師的作品展,卻好像不是太多人重視。港人有多盲從名牌效應可見一斑。

我早前已經看過了!很震撼!
 
嘩!咁我去唔去好?
六月四日去,仲勁!!

你說到名牌效應... 當然喇!LV 是贊助商喎!但也好,起碼有一群平常不會入藝術館的市民大眾有機會進場吸點靈氣。
 
Thx for your support! I love his paintings very much through the process of working on this exhibition. I wish it brings something different to people....
 
謝謝, 讀藝術史的時候已經想去看了, 原來香港都有得睇, 真高興^^
