靈覺．抽象．風系列：甘丹創作自述

Divine inspiration. Inspiration. Wind series: Kan Tan Description of Creation

本主要論述個人從事創作三十多年的紀錄與作品成長過程，其中以部分繪畫及雕刻為主。雕刻以〈風系列〉為主，其材質有石雕、木雕、銅雕，不銹鋼風作品在虛與實並存的空間裡存在著無形與有形的靈覺能量，牽引著抽象造形創作前行的動力，靈覺讓藝術創作思維不斷成長，風運行的紀錄成了當下凝結的感動影像與擴大靈感的想像或解構。〈風系列〉作品以風的力量和微觀世界中感受無限的風力能量，存在無限的想像空間及雕塑造形創作節拍中產生的凹與凸和陰陽頓挫，將靈感轉化成為雕刻作品。另外，創作思維與感情，是藉由造形呈現於視野中，審視當下自我內心與材質的對話，藉由觀察作品所得的回饋產生另一種想像空間，成為下一個創作靈感的依據。

The main purpose of this thesis is to record and track the growth of the author’s artistic journey spanning more than thirty years, which focussed on painting and sculpture. The“wind series”was the main focus of the sculpture period, which included stone, wood, copper and stainless steel sculptures. Coexisting in the same space of emptiness and form, are the divine inspiration energies of the invisible and the tangible. This is the driving force behind the creations of these abstract forms. Divine inspiration allows for the continuous growth of artistic thought and creation. The record of the movement of wind is a condensed snapshot of a moving image, or likely great inspiration of imagination and deconstruction too. The“wind series”uses the power of wind and the impact of the boundless energy of wind on the microcosm. With a limitless space for imagination, and the concave and convex shapes produced with the rhythm of carving a sculpture, as well as the cadence of yin and yang, inspiration can be transformed into a finished sculpture. Additionally, the thought processes and the emotions behind the work are displayed in the shape and form of the sculpture. The author can examine how one’s emotions conversed with the materials at that time. Observing the feedback one has received towards their work can form the basis of the next creative spark.
