蔣友梅「心色之扉」 Chiang Yomei: Doors of Perception 展期 Dates｜2018.02.03 – 2018.03.18 地點 Venue｜耿畫廊 Tina Keng Gallery 於佛理聯結認知心理學、量子物理的哲學式纏結論述，是探究蔣友梅藝術核心最簡單同時最為崎嶇的感知路徑；「心色不二」為核心藝術語彙，蔣友梅將個人念想依物性原質交融轉呈——浸染油彩的身體儀式轉譯為詩意動人的時空敘事，於繪畫中輻射哲思光譜諧振色彩感知，引領觀者跨越意識與物質宇宙邊界，勾勒出與世存有的超驗感知閱讀。 本次展覽核心系列「共振」 (Vibration) 系列，便是蔣友梅透過繪畫勾勒出的私密儀式——一場將意識原形轉印於油彩原質的覺知行旅；蔣友梅收集象徵人身我執的髮絲，與塵土調和混攪油彩色料之中，以手代筆，於默誦《心經》的同時反覆書寫其260字梵書經文，直至畫布為可辨而不可辨的層疊字跡所充滿。而在顏料乾燥定調後，又再加以抹除、摧毀直至斑駁龜裂，如此重複著，最後於深邃絢麗的油彩肌理間留下恍若風化的經文殘跡——生滅滅己，儀式般重複著的自我迴返，彷彿一方畫布上顯像的時間疊加態；寄語油彩殘跡，將不再的存有鐫刻曾在時空，於意識水面劃出心色一極的幽微詩意。 To understand Chiang Yomei’s art practice through Buddhist philosophy, cognitive psychology, and quantum entanglement theory is simultaneously the most straightforward and most arduous way. In her exploration of the immaterial through poetry and painting, the artist transforms personal musings through different media, from color to sound, creating sensory experiences rooted in the artist’s artistic vocabulary. On view in Doors of Perception, Chiang Yomei’s latest solo exhibition, the “Vibration” series documents the artist’s journey where her consciousness metamorphoses into vibrant colors rendered in oil paint and mixed media through the artist’s physical labor. Using a soft tube filled with a viscous mixture of sand and adhesive, the artist repeatedly inscribes on canvas the 260 characters of the Heart Sutra, until the canvas is filled with legible and illegible overlapped text. As the text dries, she incorporates substances such as her own hair, incense ash, seeds, and coarse fibers, while simultaneously using her hands and tools to destroy — through attrition, mottling, and cracking, or even by completely peeling off the surface material — until what remains seems like the remnants of erosion. -- 關於蔣友梅 蔣友梅生於台灣台北，現居創作於倫敦。身具中、俄、德三國血統，自幼受中西文化薰陶，崇尚文藝。十歳開始寫詩詞，曾拜山水大師胡念祖、水彩大師王藍及素描大師李德為師。高中畢業後留學美國，就讀於紐約州史克德末大學，專修藝術和文學。此後留德，專修德語。 1981年，蔣友梅離德赴英，就讀甘德伯里肯特大學，於1984年修得藝術史及英國文學雙學士。在肯特大學時受現代藝術史學及評論家史提分．班教授影響，開始專研西方現代藝術史及哲學。畢業後，又於倫敦大學亞非學院研究中國美術史，拜讀於中國繪畫專家羅德里．魏特弗教授膝下。1989年，蔣友梅開始創作，包含繪畫、寫作、攝影、裝置、表演等方式，不斷地嘗試與實驗不同媒材，1994年於英國溫切斯特藝術學院取得美術學士。 1989年開始修佛，深受佛法啟發；加上對哲學、量子物理、心理學等充滿興趣，並喜好音樂、影劇及文學，此經歷與其創作過程及理念皆相輔相成。 About Chiang Yomei In 1984, Yomei obtained a bachelor of arts degree in the history and theory of art and English literature from the University of Kent at Canterbury in the U.K. At Kent, Yomei studied under the eminent modern art historian and critic Dr. Stephen Bann, who became a great influence. After Kent, Yomei continued to pursue the field of art history at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, specializing in Chinese painting and ceramics, studying under Dr. Roderick Whitfield and Dr. Rosemary Scott. In 1989 Yomei began concentrating on the practice of art and embarked upon an intensely creative journey, producing paintings, drawings, collages, photography, installations, performances, artist’s books, collections of poetry, and short stories. In 1994 she obtained a bachelor of fine art degree from the Winchester School of Art. A devout Buddhist practitioner, she also nurtures a strong interest in philosophy, psychology, mythology as well as quantum physics, the pursuit of which, along with her great love of music, film, and literature have become inextricably linked to her creative work. 紀錄片製作 Documentary Production｜Lane 216, East
