Artwork creation in the Residency of La Porte Peinte, Art Center, Burgundy, France 2024

Whispers of Time: 
A Journey from Paris to Noyers”

In this series of five oil paintings, I sincerely invite the viewer to embark on my journey from the summer of 2024. This journey originated from my artist residency in France, becoming an unforgettable memory as I explored the enchanting experiences in the historic town of Noyers in Burgundy.

Burgundy is renowned for its magnificent landscapes and exquisite wines. To capture this unique atmosphere, I specifically employed a palette of four different shades of brown, aiming to resonate with the rich tones of high-quality Burgundy wine. However, what surprised me most was the landscapes and vast fields along the way, showcasing various shades of earth tones, revealing a diverse palette far beyond the lush greens I had previously imagined.

These beautiful and harmonious tones prompted me to delve deeper into the interplay between light and dark, evoking the warmth and depth of this captivating land. Each painting offers an abstract interpretation of the Burgundy landscape, with forms arising from my intuition and spontaneous creative process. Every piece is organically formed, genuinely reflecting my emotional response to the surrounding environment rather than adhering to any pre-designed form.

Throughout the creative process, some significant and charming elements came from an old magazine, *Paris Match, 1967*, which I fortuitously discovered at a flea market in Paris. This magazine contains numerous fascinating historical stories, events, and advertisements from that era, inspiring me to incorporate these collaged elements into my works, adding a nostalgic atmosphere and context. This seamlessly merges past and present sentiments, creating a visual narrative dialogue.

時間的耳語,從巴黎到諾瓦耶的旅程

在這系列五幅油畫中,我誠摯地邀請觀眾隨我踏上2024年夏季的旅程。這段旅程源自我在法國的藝術家駐留計劃,成為我難以忘懷的回憶,探索在勃根地迷人歷史小鎮諾耶(Noyers)所獲得的美妙經歷。

勃根地以其壯麗的風景和精緻的葡萄酒聞名於世。為了捕捉這種獨特的氛圍,我特意使用了四種不同深淺的棕色,旨在透過這些色彩回響優質勃根地葡萄酒的豐富色調。然而,最令我驚喜的經歷是,沿途的風景和廣闊的田園中,展現出各種深淺不一的泥土色調,這讓我意外地發現,這裡的色彩遠比我之前想像的綠意盎然更為多樣。

這些優美而和諧的色調促使我深入探索光與暗之間的互動,喚起這片迷人土地的溫暖與深度。每幅畫作都提供了對勃根地風景的抽象詮釋,其形狀源於我的直覺和自發的創作過程。每一幅作品都是有機地形成,真實反映了我對周圍環境的情感反應,而非遵循任何預先設計的形式。

在創作過程中,一些重要而富有魅力的元素來自一本我在巴黎跳蚤市場偶然發現的舊雜誌《Paris Match, 1967》。這本雜誌中包含了許多有趣的歷史故事、當年的時事和廣告,因此我決定將這些拼貼元素融入作品中,為它們增添懷舊的氛圍和背景,無縫地融合過去與現在的情感,形成一種視覺敘事的對話。

這個系列中的每一幅畫布都呈現出偶然之美,巧妙地將近80年的影像與數百年歷史的村莊交織在一起。這些風景在我創作的自然過程中自然而然地形成,而每個拼貼的圖像則在偶然中找到它們恰如其分的位置。最終,這些作品展現了我在勃根地的難忘旅程,透過美麗的導航分享迷人的故事,邀請觀眾透過抽象與記憶的視角,體驗這個地區的精髓。
