超現實的現實 Imagination Path

<<Imagination Path>> Ink Pen on A4 Paper (Sep-2021)

想像的路

香港這個時代,正在經歷一些不穩定的情況,到底我們的前路將會是怎樣的呢?這幅作品是結集共九位同學的純概念字眼,然後各自以這些字眼,來繪畫一幅作品。

當時收集的字眼有:

實體:點對點、捷徑、濕、無盡、短、闊、舌頭、眼球、有細小的尖石、像Harry Potter 一般的移動、路面不平的、不停改變的、城市的心臟、浮游生物。

非實體:黑暗、驚恐、寧靜、繁榮、踩落去先知的”路”、令人期待的、平靜的、急速的、恐怖、令人緊張、搖擺不定、生命。

這些字眼裡,都有很多對比的,所以我把作品明顯地分成兩邊,左邊比較壓迫感,而右邊則相對平靜平和。中間是一條無盡頭的道路,以眼球和舌頭造成的,創造那種不穩定的感覺,而且會帶點恐怖、不安的。雖然這畫作是超現實作品,但這種感覺卻又非常現實。
