Music as Abstraction 音樂謂抽象
我的作品是把音樂,轉化為抽象視覺語言。
古典音樂和抽象繪畫對我來說是同一回事。它們無法分離或單一論述。對我來說,它們是一門非常重要的語言。我做繪畫和音樂來表達自己,因為我可以通過它們更好地表達自己。
我的創作方式和靈感是由音樂作為原點。特別來自古典音樂,我也自行創作古典曲目。自身作為作曲家和表演者,創作音樂,並在畫布上創造出抽象視覺效果。通過描繪音樂的
敘事和力量、表現動作的律動,在畫布上情感的深度和維度。繪畫和音樂對我來說都是源於同一本質的「時間性」語言。繪畫作品本身也是給觀眾的視覺音樂體驗。
我的畫是一種持續的視覺體驗,人們可以隨時間觀看它們。 幾乎就像畫布上的旅程一樣。這是對我的心情或狀態的真實反映,我純粹是自由繪製的。是聲音與我之間
進行對話的表演。 這些視覺音樂抽像畫結合了我自己的音樂訓練經驗、潛意識和情感。透過身體律動, 由色彩和質感轉化在畫面上。
在研究階段,我會選定某幾首曲目。我十分鐘情德國及俄羅斯作曲家們張力夠大、夠厚實的曲目。我每日聆聽古典音樂, 不單以純享受的心情,我更以工作及學習的態度
去感受他們。我會首先認真聆聽音型和當中的情感,把我獲得的感受先以一兩句形容。然後我會閱讀有關樂章的論文,了解包括他的歷史、作曲家創作時期之生平和當期
社會環境等資料,進一步理解樂曲的故事。
除了參考樂曲,我也開始創作曲目。最近花多了時間練習樂器和在電腦、鋼琴上作曲。雖然作曲只是「半桶水」,但我之後打算重新研習樂理及
作曲理論,令自己可以更痛快地創作音樂。
進行創作時,我會在播放音樂時工作,並參考自己製作的圖像(例如印刷品和照片)和自作樂目作為輔助材料。我試圖將情感轉化為視覺語言。
一直以來,自從我開始做抽象畫,都強調和重視「自己」、作品的敘事性,和強調表現細節。企圖把樂曲中每分每秒的亮點都畫下來。
我的作品,全都是誠實的。他們是由多次的automatic drawing而組成的,繪畫、思考、繪畫、思考。是放任自己和整理思緒,兩種方法的結果。
這個過程一直都將進行「加法」,或只進行「加法」。繪畫像書寫一樣,像作曲一樣,越寫越長。很多的線條、筆觸,很多的碎碎念。
不停的在說話,不停地provide information。
所以在今年,我決定還原基本步,我將更加專注於以不同方式可視化音樂。今年,我的新計劃《音樂・空間》由自己創作的音樂和古典音樂作為根基,
把音樂轉化為抽象繪畫。把樂章和所有感覺,只總結為一兩句;用顏色、結構和少許線條表達。利用大型空間、顏色和結構去提供觀賞經驗。
希望我的作品,不單止是純粹的畫音樂、描繪音樂; 而是我想怎樣演繹音樂,是屬於我的音樂。 我畫抽象的音樂,就是說我的語言,說音樂和抽象。
我希望聽眾看到我的 音樂,聽我的畫。給他們帶來愉悅的視覺音樂體驗。我希望他們體驗我的作品。在香港,專心只做抽象藝術的藝術家實在是少數。
利用抽象藝術表現音樂更是寥寥可數。在這樣大環境之下,某程度我也算是異類。抽象藝術一直作為公眾不太了解,甚至因為不理解而失去興趣的藝術形式,
我希望與大眾交流溝通,去讓他們理解抽象行為背後的理念及理論。雖然有點像「老王賣瓜」,但我衷心希望能夠讓不同的藝術形式可以在香港盛行,
令抽象藝術不單是收藏家和藝術知識分子才能欣賞、接受和接觸到的事。
My work is to transform music into abstract visual language.
Classical music and abstract painting are the same thing to me. They cannot be separated or discussed individually. For me, they are a very important language. I do paintings and music to express myself, because I can use them to better express oneself.
My method and inspiration are based on music, especially from classical music. I also compose classical pieces by myself. As a composer and performer, I create music and create abstract visual effects on the canvas; by depicting the narrative and power of music, and expressing the rhythm of action, the depth and dimension of emotion on the canvas. Painting and music are both derived from the same essence of "temporal" language for me. The painting itself is also a visual music experience for the audience.
My paintings are a continuous visual experience, and people can read them over time. It's almost liked a journey on a canvas. This is a true reflection of my mood or state, I am purely free to draw. It is a performance of dialogue between the music and me. These visual music abstract paintings combine my own musical training experience, subconscious and emotion. Through the rhythm of the body, colours and textures are transformed on the screen.
In the research phase, I will select certain repertoires. I love the strong and thick repertoire of German and Russian composers. I listen to classical music every day, not only with pure enjoyment, but also with an attitude of working and studying. I will first listen carefully to the sound patterns and the emotions in it and describe the feelings I get in one or two sentences. Then I will read the essays about the repertoire, learn about his history, the life of the composer during his creation, and the social environment at that time and further understand the story of the music.
In addition to reference music, I also began to compose music. Recently I have spent more time practicing musical instruments and composing music on the computer and piano recently. Although I am not proficient in composition, I plan to re-study music theory and composition theory in the future, but I can make music more enjoyable.
When creating, I will work while playing music, and refer to my own images (such as prints and photos) and self-made music as supplementary materials. I try to transform emotions into visual language.
Since I started to make abstract paintings, I have emphasized and valued "self", the narrative of the work, and the details of expression. I tried to draw the bright spots in the music every minute and every second. My work is all honest. They are composed of multiple automatic drawings. It is the result of two methods: indulging yourself and organizing your thoughts. This process will always be "addition" or only "addition". Painting is like writing, like composing, the more you write, the longer you write. Lots of lines, brushstrokes, lots of broken thoughts. Talking non-stop, providing information non-stop.
This year, I decided to restore the basic steps and I will focus more on visualizing music in different ways. This year, my new project "Music + Space" is based on my own music and classical music, turning music into abstract paintings. Summarize the movement and all the feelings in just one or two sentences; express with colour, structure and a few lines. Use space, colours and structures to provide viewing experience.
I hope that my work is not only purely painting music and depicting music; it is how I want to interpret music, which belongs to me. When I paint abstract music, I speak my language. I want the audience to see my music and listen to my paintings. Bring them a pleasant visual music experience. I hope they experience my work.
In Hong Kong, there are really few artists who concentrate on abstract art. The use of abstract art to express music is rare. In such a big environment, to a certain extent I can be regarded as a different kind.
Abstract art has always been an art form that the public does not understand well, and even loses interest because of not understanding. I hope to communicate with the public to let them understand the concepts and theories behind abstract behaviour. I sincerely hope that different art forms can prevail in Hong Kong, so that abstract art is not only something that collectors and art intellectuals can appreciate, accept and come into contact with.
