精准的尺

怎麼說呢，自幼從父習畫，兜轉國內外長達近十年的美院體系訓練後，我本應成為一把精准的尺。可偏偏，我的目光轉向了在逛美術館時候窗外徐徐的風撥動的樹梢；轉角處某位先生的的戒指被剛巧的陽光折射了耀眼的光；一枚摞在另一枚上的鋼鏰因為某個角度產生了奇妙的平衡；一次散步後段縈繞在腦中不去的話。

駐地創作對我的意義或許就在此，從藝術史中跳出來，從工作室內走出來，擠入熙熙攘攘的城市，融入鮮活的人群。日出日落便是畫布的邊界，溫度濕度就是手裡的泥刀，距離和關係囊括了所有筆觸，又曖昧又清楚的展現的淋灕盡致。

在自我問詢和對外追問間，刻度早就不是那個刻度。又或者，我已成為一把精准的尺。

Precise ruler

What should I say? Since I was a child, I learned painting from my father and I have been training at home and abroad for nearly ten years. I should have become a precise ruler. But my eyes turned to the treetops swayed by the wind outside the window when I was visiting the museum; the corner of a gentleman’s ring was refracted by the sunshine in the corner; Steel plutonium has a wonderful balance because of an angle; if the paragraph is lingering in the head after a walk.

Perhaps the meaning of resident creation to me is here, jumping out of the history of art, coming out of the studio, squeezing into the bustling city and integrating into the lively crowd. Sunrise and sunset are the boundaries of the canvas, and temperature and humidity are the trowels in your hand. The distance and relationship include all brushstrokes, which are ambiguous and clear.

Between self-inquiry and external questioning, the scale has long been not that scale. Or, I have become a precise ruler.
