創作理念：《上昇2》的色彩層次與感性知覺

在當代繪畫的實踐中，如何讓純粹的視覺形式超越視覺本身，進而觸動觀者的內在經驗，是我長期核心的創作課題。在作品《上昇2》（100x72.5cm，畫布油彩，2015）中，我試圖懸置任何具象的敘事與符號，將繪畫還原為一種由「色彩層次」與「媒介物質性」共同構築的精神空間。這幅作品不依附於任何超驗的宗教寓意，它所關注的，是色彩、光影與肌理在二維畫布上所能開創的情感厚度。

從視覺形式結構來看，這幅畫作建立在一種橫向的色層疊加之上。在色彩學與光學的邏輯中，顏色本身便具有重量與空間的心理暗示。畫面底部的深藍與群青，透過低明度、高飽和度的層次堆疊，凝練出如同深海或夜幕般的物質基底。這種沉穩的冷色調，在形式上扮演著畫面的「重力錨點」，它承載著觀者最初的視覺落點，也暗喻著現實生命中某種無法擺脫的凝滯與厚重。

然而，當視線隨著色層逐步向上遞進，畫面的空間關係開始產生微妙的質變。冷色調與橙黃、赭石等細碎的暖色層相互交織、滲透，形成了一種色調上的「過渡地帶」。在色彩結構理論中，這種對比色的交界並非衝突，而是一種視覺張力的流動。我讓油彩在畫布上反覆重疊、刮擦與渲染，刻意留下了時間的運筆痕跡。這些流動的肌理，使「上昇」不再只是一個物理性的空間位移，而是色彩在視覺上逐漸卸下重力、向著光線解放的感性過程。

在畫面上方，那些游移、微弱閃爍的圓形色塊，是這幅畫作中幽微的精神特寫。它們並非客觀事物的再現，而是光線在心靈邊界上的自發投影。從形式美學的角度來看，這些不規則的綠色與黃色光點打破了水平色層的規整性，為畫面注入了呼吸感。它們像是靜謐汪洋中泛起的微光，又像是內心深處偶然泛起的感性漣漪。這些色塊不是被動地等待被觀看，而是作為一種視覺媒介，引導著觀者的視線穿透色層的厚度，向著頂部那抹微茫的白光緩步推移。

油彩作為一種具有延展性與時間感的媒介，記錄了我創作時身體的每一次呼吸與運筆。在《上昇2》裡，那些未經完全調和、帶有手工感和不確定性的筆觸，是我與畫布之間最私密的對話。這是一場純粹屬於繪畫、屬於身體感官的情感擺渡。

我希望觀者在面對這片色彩與時間的堆疊時，能暫時卸下日常生活的理性重負。當你駐足於此，凝視著那片由深邃藍意過渡到溫暖光暈的流動時，能透過繪畫特有的物質厚度，與畫面中的純粹色塊產生共振，從而在內心的某個角落，經歷一次幽微、內斂且屬於個體的精神「上昇」。

Artist Statement: The Color Gradations and Sensuous Perception of Ascension 2

In the practice of contemporary painting, exploring how pure visual forms can transcend vision itself to touch the inner experience of the viewer has long been my core creative focus. In the artwork Ascension 2 (100x72.5cm, oil on canvas, 2015), I attempt to suspend all figurative narratives and symbols, reducing the painting to a spiritual space co-constructed by "color gradations" and "materiality of the medium." This piece does not adhere to any transcendental religious allegories; instead, it focuses on the emotional depth that color, light, shadow, and texture can open up within a two-dimensional canvas.

From the perspective of visual formal structure, this painting is built upon a horizontal overlay of color strata. Within the logic of chromatics and optics, color inherently possesses psychological implications of weight and space. The deep blues and ultramarines at the bottom of the canvas, through layers of low-brightness and high-saturation stacking, condense into a material foundation akin to the deep sea or a night shroud. This steady, cool palette functions formally as the "gravitational anchor" of the composition. It bears the viewer's initial visual point of impact and subtly metaphors a certain inescapable stagnation and heaviness within lived reality.

However, as the eye gradually progresses upward with the color strata, the spatial relationships within the frame undergo a subtle qualitative shift. The cool tones interlace and permeate with fragmented warm strata of orange-yellow and ochre, forming a tonal "transition zone." In color structure theory, the boundary between these contrasting colors is not a conflict, but a flow of visual tension. By repeatedly overlaying, scraping, and washing the oil paint on the canvas, I intentionally left behind the brushwork traces of time. These fluid textures transform "ascension" from a mere physical spatial displacement into a sensuous process where color visually sheds its weight and liberates itself toward the light.

Near the top of the canvas, the drifting, faintly shimmering circular color blocks serve as the subtle spiritual close-ups of this artwork. Rather than representations of objective realities, they are spontaneous projections of light onto the boundaries of the mind. From the standpoint of formal aesthetics, these irregular green and yellow pinpricks of light break up the regularity of the horizontal color layers, injecting a sense of respiration into the painting. They resemble glimmers rippling across a tranquil ocean, or emotional ripples occasionally swelling from deep within. Instead of passively waiting to be observed, these color shapes act as a visual medium, guiding the viewer’s gaze through the thickness of the color strata, drifting gently toward the faint white light at the summit.

As a medium endowed with ductility and a sense of time, oil paint records every breath and brushstroke of my body during the creative process. In Ascension 2, those unblended, artisanal, and uncertain brushstrokes are the most intimate dialogue between myself and the canvas. This is an emotional ferry belonging purely to painting and the bodily senses.

It is my hope that when viewers face this accumulation of color and time, they can temporarily unburden themselves of daily rationality. As you pause here, gazing upon the fluid transition from profound blues to warm halos, may you resonate with the pure color fields through the distinct material depth of painting—and thereby experience, in some corner of your mind, a subtle, introspective, and highly individual spiritual "ascension."
