待在繪畫創作的世界裡,我可以不用去面對那個不擅長表達的自己,在那裡很平靜、很純粹,留下的只有永恆的情感和理想,那裡是我的小宇宙,裝滿無限可能的小宇宙。─安哲
Staying in the world of artistic creation allows me to forget about the uncommunicative side of me. I can enjoy the peace and purity, capturing only the enduring emotions and ideals. That is my little universe, where possibilities abound. ─Ahn Zhe
★ 視覺藝術家、知名演員——安哲,2010~2014作品集
★ 首度收錄!安哲情境寫真手稿集(14 × 14cm/44頁)
安哲有雙深邃的眼睛,似乎看得透他,但卻也不明白那迷霧般的風景是什麼。在那茶色瞳孔中,一圈又一圈的螺旋裡,彷彿有個無限大的宇宙。有陰鬱、有天真、有美麗,那是個細小微量的光芒,透過一瞬之光。
藝術對他而言是小宇宙的描繪,戲劇則是他小宇宙的釋放。若想要進入他的世界,他的作品,是最直接暸解他的方法。
安哲說,所謂的宇宙,並非代表一個全部。現代的人都只想活在自己的小宇宙,但小宇宙並不侷限在那邊無法往前。小宇宙是無限寬廣,有時候只代表我們生活中的一個面向。
本書收錄了安哲從2010—2014的作品集,每個作品,都是他在發掘、思索他的人生、未來、感情,不同面向,所建構出屬於他,也渴望分享給大家的小宇宙。
「窺看、未完成、自我懷疑、轉換、脆弱、共生。」
這是他在尋求創作的夢想跟真實時,所感受的歷程。
「悲傷、壓力、荒謬、慾望。」
那是他用看似悲觀的內心裡,對世界最大的熱愛,最想傳遞的訊息。
他的作品充滿批判、省思、嘲諷、荒誕,不單是為了畫而畫,背後都有很多想說的事情。他的作品通常不給答案,因為世界上的答案都太多。但世界沒有標準答案,所意在他的作品裡,他不講答案,有者很多留白,讓大家自己填滿。於是在這本書,他用圖像創作描繪了十個故事,十個在他小宇宙裡,重要的故事。
安哲的宇宙構成中,有許多看似「負面」的東西,但這其實是對真實生活的警訊。你要看清楚哪些不好,才會記得好。本書除了安哲十樣重要的作品集之外,另有別冊,讓我們從演員與藝術家安哲的日常,窺看不同的他。演員,也是安哲的一個重要身份,表演讓他發現,這是個探索,可以找到投射的情感跟抒發,戲劇的確改變了他的小宇宙,是他跟大家分享小宇宙很重要的一道橋。
Where have gone avarice and conscience? The Disappeared No. 226 lost himself to what he wants, sacrificing conscience for the sake of profits. A manipulator inside out. People lose themselves, falling prey to desire.
While it may seem possible to see through the profound eyes of Ahn Zhe, they always leave you wondering what actually lies behind their misty depths. It is as if an infinite universe resides in those dark brown pupils, in spiral after spiral, where traces of melancholy, innocence and beauty are revealed through that subtle, flimsy moment of light.
To him, art is about portraying “the little universe,” and drama about unleashing the universe itself. For anyone who wants to know more about him, his productions offer a close peek into his world.
In his words, the so-called universe does not represent a whole picture. People in the modern age tend to live in their own little universe, which, instead of staying within boundaries, is ever expanding, and sometimes demonstrates only part of our lives.
This is a collection of his works from 2010 to 2014. Every creation of his tries to explore and shed light on his life, future, and relationships. With different angles and perspectives, he hopes to construct a little universe that belongs solely to him and which he desires to share with you.
“Peeping, incompletion, self-doubt, change, vulnerability, and coexistence.”
These sum up how he feels in pursuing his creative dream and the truth behind it.
“Sorrow, stress, absurdity, and desire.”
They are the messages he wishes to deliver to this beloved world from his seemingly pessimistic heart.
His works brim with criticism, introspection, sarcasm, and absurdity. He is not just painting for painting’s sake, but for the sake of conveying his thoughts.
Answers are seldom found in his works since there are too many of them in this world, where there is no such thing as a standard answer. Thus he never provides answers, but leaves blanks and spaces for the viewers to fill in.
In this book, he graphically depicts ten stories, all born out of his little universe and embedded with rich meaning.
The recurring elements appearing to be “negative” in the universe constructed by Ahn Zhe are, as a matter of fact, warnings to the real world.You need to see the bad to appreciate the good. Apart from ten of his finest works, the edition also includes an attached booklet featuring his daily life as an actor and artist. Acting plays a crucial role in Ahn Zhe’s life. By providing him with a way to explore, project, and release emotions, performing in dramas has in fact transformed his little universe. Above all, it allows him to share his little universe with all of you.
