畫意．話意 / Capturing Ephemeral Beauty: The Timeless Art of Pictorialism
● 展覽介紹 Exhibition Statement：
攝影的發現，初期是一門取代繪畫技術為導向的寫實藝術。攝影技術演進，從畫意寫實攝影藝術演進，隨著攝影藝術家的想像及精進成為多元面向主題發展，但也隨著鏡頭科技的與日俱爭及生活化的融入，開始在台灣退去了獨特光環。而當今的攝影藝術也因為鏡頭科技、生活及人與人溝通媒介再次在台灣發展，讓喜愛攝影的藝術家藉由這股風潮，有了新的想法並想重新詮釋體現他！也因此現今攝影風潮在世界上掀起的「攝影藝術復興」的多元發展面向，攝影藝術家開始在透過鏡頭詮釋的作品上，除了掌握鏡頭的那份瞬間技術外，也增加了其本身對於作品詮釋的想法。
攝影藝術的演進洪流，我在1960年代跟進，2007再次學習跟上；未來，期待百家爭鳴。
Photography, in its nascent stage, initially served as a realistic art form oriented towards replacing painting techniques. As photographic technology evolved, it progressed from pictorial realism to various thematic developments driven by the imagination and expertise of photographers. However, with the increasing competitiveness and integration of photo lens technology into everyday life, the unique appeal of photography has diminished in Taiwan. The current development of photography in Taiwan is influenced by advancements in lens technology, lifestyle changes, and interpersonal communication media. This resurgence has sparked new ideas among photography enthusiasts, prompting them to re-interpret and express themselves through this trend. Consequently, the current global trend of a “Photographic Art Renaissance” is presenting compelling and diverse developmental aspects. Photographers are not only mastering the momentary technical aspects of the lens but are also enhancing their own interpretative concepts of their works in the process of capturing them through the lens.
I've been following the trends and evolution of photographic art, first in the 1960s and then re-engaging in 2007. Looking forward, I look forward to a future where various perspectives and schools of thought will continue to thrive!
