they said: I can't see the beauty!

I am remaking my portfolio. This time, most of them are not installation works but paintings. My father has a very good camera and lenses, and he is going help me to take slides for them. Today, I displayed all my paintings that have been collected, then discussed with my aunt and my father about them.
.
It was so difficult. I had realized that I am not good at expressing what my art is to people. However, today, I deeply understanded that how weak my oral expression and our people’s art experience are. Art is not beauty, and beauty doesn’t equal to sense. I like my paintings very much. I think they are so beautiful. However, my families don’t.
.
Their senses of beauty are base on their own art educations and experiences. I can’t say that their opinions about art and beauty are wrong. All of them have their own value. But, it is pity that there are more possibilities about art and beauty have been ignored by them.

a loney way

I moved up from Intermediate Level to Advanced Level yesterday. New classmates' English ability in the new level are much better than the level which I was, but most of them are still not active and diligent in learning enough. I am a bit confused that why I was in the lower level. Anyway, I moved up, and I bought my textbook yesterday. Ahhhh...how expensive they are>_<
.
I study in the library almost every night after dinner. The library here is small but quiet because there are always few students. I can't study in my room because my neighbors play Hip Hop and dance music loudly every night. Recently, they even began singing on the hallway... I meet many friends in the library. Most of them are hard studying Asian students. One of them is a Korean who is a Fine Arts graduate student here. He is much elder than me, has a graduate degree and some university teaching experience in Korea. I met him in the library yesterday. We talked more than one and a half hour in the main lounge. He did traditional painting in Korea. Now, he makes some multi-material art work.
.
He told to me, if he were as young as me, he wouldn't study in New Paltz. He would keep on trying until he could enter an art school in New York City. He always feels his time is not enough because his family is waiting for him. He said, we artists always need to throw ourselves into a group or a society to agitate each other, and this is what New Paltz lacks for. Yeah! We have to keep on moving and being challenged.
.
He is a lonely artist. What he learned in Korea for 20 years is traditional Korean art. Now, new artists and arts pop up everywhere. He is working hard to rebuild his art to catch up the wave of art in the world. He rarely talks to other Korean students because he has to improve his English as soon as possible. After he finish his studying here and come back to Korea, he might still have many problems to get a job in an university because there are so many old professors don't want to retire and so many people are still waiting on the line. Maybe the environment of art in Korea is worse than Taiwan. He said, his professor in Korea even required them to follow "his style", and each professor has his own style and his "followers." He told me that sometimes he thinks he is on a wrong way in his life.
.
I have seen his art before. I think his art is somehow has love and happiness inside, but his is not a happy artist. How about me? How do I look like? I really reflect about this.

因為去游泳泡SPA而想起的藝術兩三事

外面稀瀝花啦的下著大雨,氣象報告說...這是大陸的華南雲系東移,是屬於持續而迅速的,一個小系統接著一個小系統的濕潤雲氣...嗯嗯...華南雲系耶......
我躺在游泳池旁的溫水SPA池裡,呆呆的望著其實很醜可是我們總是視而不見的鋼樑鋼骨、層板屋頂、巨大水銀燈,意識到這個外表華麗的游泳池建築其實和一個裝滿水的倉庫廠房並沒有什麼太大的差別......。氣泡水柱呼嚕呼嚕的,在水裡從各個角度推打著我的腰背和屁股...氤蘊繚繞而我繼續發呆,開始欣賞起週遭的椰子樹、棕櫚樹、芭蕉樹、鳥巢蕨...以及各式各樣矯情不死的熱帶風情塑膠造景。 ...繼續閱讀

Painting-粉紅人9位-4

粉紅人9位-4 / 2001
110x79(cm),水彩、蠟筆
最近迷戀上游泳
在游泳時,我能擁有安靜以及清晰的思緒
我調整自己身體的姿勢,讓自己筆直地劃開水流滑行
藍色的光影穿過我的指間,在我耳畔翻起白花
然後從我的肩膀,順過背上的曲線沿路流過,逐漸在腳趾間化開
我溫柔的划著水,感受到前進,沒有阻力,沒有惱人的喘息
一個人的水道裡,來來回回...時間,是靜止的...
孩童的笑鬧聲在遠方
他們依舊是潑水、騎馬打仗、搶奪漂浮在池子裡的耳塞
以及永無休止的自由式比賽,激起大片大片的水花
他們的日子,離我很遙遠了...
游泳很好。
沉靜我的思緒,讓我加油加油走下去!!
