LIAN Yi-An

連苡安

“Feel like something is over there, actually nothing at all, but what is so-call nothing? Perhaps something will be found nearby or being left, anyway, there will always be a answer, in that case, I try to figure out what makes the answer correct."

Artworks of LIAN Yi-An focus on the very normal things what we see every day, and through her creating ability, she
reorganize a new balance to let us understand her works better.

“All the pictures has its own story, but I won’t tell you, because that’s very boring if you know it.”

I use another picture to isolate the real story, that might seem a little false, but I think explaining what the story is doesn’t mean people can understand it, every story has its special moment, humor or bizarre, that kind of moment is the key point of story, I know they need to be felt in some other way, so not showing audiences the original story doesn’t and won’t make me regret.

畢業於國立台南藝術大學材質創作與設計系,現就讀於國立台南藝術大學造形藝術研究所,舉辦過多次個展與聯展,為當前新生代相當受到矚目的藝術家。繪畫對藝術家來說像是一種去「了解」的簡單手段,像是感覺、觀察的方法與感受程度。而在畫面上被允許的造假像是與現實在討論一種關係,繪畫的力量不應該只是再現現實的一種途徑,而是畫與現實結合出來的感覺。

語言的描述對藝術家而言是相當可疑的一件事,因為每個人使用的方式不同,詞語會出現含糊,甚至是有問題的:可能是一個答案的來源,但同時又是錯誤本身。這種感覺藝術家一開始將之歸納在某種怪異感;但慢慢的發現,這個怪異感可能是來自一個大範圍整體的決定:教育/記憶/期待/慾望之類整體的催生,運作的方式好像並不是多用力的渲染,而是留下一個說明書般、最淺的足跡,然後大家漫不經心的走上去,幽默的很壞。

於是藝術家開始畫一些生活場景或是觀察到的事物,他們都不是什麼太特別的東西。期許畫面的呈現像是一部電影裡那些用來銜接重點鏡頭的段落,段落裡連結著畫面的過場鏡頭,像是有時候閃過的一些無人的風景/一個謎語/一句未說完的話....或是一些不在重點上的不相干的事件,這種不相干的不全然是與重點無關,可能毫無頭緒且無法理解,卻也無法不去注意。
