2021年 台灣創價學會「行旅山水.蘭陽風采」宜蘭文化會館特展

── 蒼 穹 之 下 Below The Firmament ──

由天空俯視大地,最先映入眼簾的便是橫亙於島嶼中軸的綿延山脈。山川除了作為自然的屏障外,也是滋養水源之處,亦是許多族群遙望故鄉之地。陳東元筆下的大霸尖山,詮釋 了屬於山的壯闊與偉健之姿,而錯落於其間的湖泊,也為崎嶇難行的山區帶來浪漫與詩意的想像。周澄畫中的山脈,向遠方無限延伸,瀰漫山間的雲霧,更顯現山林的幽靜與空靈。清風吹撫著湖面,岸邊柳絮與淡粉的櫻花倒影,更增添典雅清麗之感。羅芳對於涓瀑的揮灑,讓觀者悠遊其中,除了飽覽自然風光外,也彷彿與自然進行心靈的對話。

When you look down at the earth from the sky, the first thing that catches one’s eye is the continuous row of mountains that lie along the island’s axis. These mountains not only serve as natural barriers, but also as water sources, and many of Yilan’s ethnic groups look upon them as their ancestral places. Mt. Ta-pa-chien under the brush of Chen Tung-Yuan displays its full magnificence and vigor, but scattered among the surrounding mountains are lakes, which bring a romantic and poetic imagination to this rugged, mountainous area. The mountains in Chou Cheng’s paintings extend infinitely into the distance, and the clouds and mists between them show their quietness and ethereality. A breeze caresses the lake, and the reflections of willow catkins and pale pink cherry blossoms on the shore add a sense of elegance and beauty. The splash of Lo Fong’s waterfall invites viewers into the scene, not only to enjoy the natural scenery but also to engage in a spiritual dialogue with nature.

翠峰湖有“薄霧中的少女”之稱,是台灣最大的高山湖泊,也是我童年生長嬉戲的地方。

翠峰湖每當雲霧在湖面翻滾飄渺時就像如詩如夢般的幻境,總是讓人迷戀留連。

世紀奇峰大霸尖山之美,高山氣候氣象萬千,山風霧氣千變萬化,大小霸尖山雄偉挺立於群峰,高高在上的主峰高不可攀,五峰雲相依倚的天然美景,成為獵豔的目標。海拔 3492 公尺,跨越新竹、苗栗、宜蘭及台中等縣,有世紀奇峰之譽,山容壯麗;泰雅人稱為Babo Papak,Babo 是山,Papak 是雙耳朵,意思是雙耳嶽,外形有如一個覆蓋著的大酒桶,所以又被稱為「酒桶山」,泰雅族人尊為聖山。大霸尖山是台灣雪山山脈最具個性的山峰,山勢雄偉磅礡,為全國長相最奇特的山峰。冬季在冷冽的空氣中,聽著呼呼的風聲,看著浮動的雲海,的確格外深刻。

The climate on wondrously beautiful Mt. Ta-pa-chien changes constantly, in countless ways. Mt. Ta-pa-chien and its smaller partner Hsiao-pa-chien tower over the surrounding peaks. The natural beauty of the way in which the clouds drape around it has made it a scenic landmark. Reaching an elevation of 3,492 m, it straddles Hsinchu, Miaoli, Yilan, and Taichung Counties. It has been called the “peak of the century.” The Atayal call it Babo Papak, with Babo meaning “mountain” and Papak meaning “two ears.” Its shape is like that of a covered wine jar, so it is also nicknamed “Winejar Mountain.” The Atayal regard it as sacred. Mt. Ta-pa-chien has the greatest personality among the peaks of Taiwan’s Hsueh-shan Range, and it is the most distinctive. It’s especially impressive if you see it in the chill air of winter, when you hear the soughing wind and see the floating clouds around it.

Mt. Ta-pa-chien in the Clouds

大霸尖山跨越宜蘭、新竹、苗栗及台中等縣,位於新竹縣尖石鄉和苗栗縣泰安鄉之間。

大霸尖山為泰雅族和賽夏族人信仰中的祖先發祥地聖山,因此登頂行為一直是被禁止的,直到西元1927年日本登山隊完成首度登頂,大霸尖山吸引的原因之一就是震懾的地形景觀,硬質砂岩經過風化作用營成的厚實岩錐,這種佇立於水平岩層基部以上的景觀是台灣高山難得一見的景色。

藝術感言:

臺灣是藝術家的墳場,從事藝術創作是條不歸路,要有守貧的準備。臺灣沒有讓藝術家生存的環境,藝術創作只能當興趣,不能當職業。

藝術的真諦在色彩中求生命的深度與厚度,藝術的過程在技法中求藏巧守拙鋒芒不露,藝術的生命在創作中求真善美與返璞歸真。

每個人頭上各有一片天,各有自己的世界;每個人各有不同的人生,各有自己的道路;每個人經歷不同,各有許多說不完的故事。從自己累積的生活經驗中去尋找靈感,這便是創作之源。

生命在決心死去的一刻點燃,藝術家的事業,是在閉上眼睛之後才開始的,走入歷史後得到的聲名,才是真正的榮耀。
