珊瑚系列
壓克力繪於木板 

此系列描繪珊瑚復育的狀態,源於星濱山共創工作室「永晝海濱美術館雙年展」的邀約。創作期間,我在正濱漁港駐地,並參訪海洋科技博物館的潮境工作站,將珊瑚復育的過程轉化為繪畫,重新詮釋其樣貌。

珊瑚的復育方式之一與植物的扦插繁殖相似:從母株上取下一小段分株,再將其移植黏接到陶瓷基座上,並放入模擬海底環境的培育槽中,讓珊瑚慢慢成長。分株初期會被安置在槽內的方格層架間,等到長大一些後,便可陸續移植回海洋。

這些珊瑚如同深色水槽中的小動物盆栽,在動物與植物的形象之間游移。這樣的視覺印象成了創作此系列作品的靈感來源。

Coral Series
Acrylic on Wood Panel

This series explores the process of coral restoration. It originated from an invitation to the Zhengbin Art Biennial organised by Zhengbin art. During the creation period, I was in residence at Zhengbin Fishing Harbour and visited the Chaojing Ocean Center at the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology. The works reinterpret the process of coral restoration through painting.

One method of coral restoration resembles plant propagation by cuttings: a small fragment is taken from a parent colony, then attached to a ceramic base and placed in a cultivation tank that simulates an underwater environment, where it can gradually grow. In the early stage, these fragments are arranged on grid-like racks within the tanks; once they grow larger, they are gradually transplanted back into the ocean.

These corals resemble small, potted creatures in dark tanks, hovering between the imagery of animals and plants. This visual impression became the inspiration for this series.


《珊瑚一》
多種珊瑚同時在槽內培育,形成了水中的叢叢燦爛森林。

Coral I
The tanks hold a variety of corals growing together,
forming clusters of vibrant underwater forests.



《珊瑚二》
作品將珊瑚的成長放大,牠們生長至水槽外,將彩色的枝幹伸展開來。

Coral II
The coral's growth is magnified,
imagining it pushing beyond the tank and stretching out colorful branches.



《珊瑚三》
培育槽同時養了不同生物。
畫面中加入了克氏海葵魚,還有著軸孔珊瑚、蕈珊瑚等各式珊瑚,共同生長著。

Coral III
The tank also holds other species.
I included Amphiprion clarkia, with Acropora, Fungia, and other corals growing together.



《珊瑚四》
有些珊瑚附著於槽內礁石上生長。

Coral IV
Some corals in the cultivation tank grow attached to reef rocks. 



《珊瑚五》
管狀的珊瑚蟲像是一朵朵的小花在水中搖曳。
我讓小珊瑚疊立於彼此之上,並 加入了粉紅雙鋸魚。

Coral V
Tube-like polyps sway in the water like tiny flowers.  I stacked layers of small corals on top of one another and added a Amphiprion perideraio fish.




《珊瑚六》
萼形柱珊瑚的珊瑚蟲,遠看像是圈圈花朵一般。我將牠置於畫面的中心,周圍有著帶著基座的各式小珊瑚,層層疊疊的向上發展,伸展出培養槽之外。

Coral VII
The polyps of Hood coral look like tiny ring-shaped flowers from a distance. I placed it at the center of the composition, surrounded by various small corals with bases, building upward in overlapping layers.




The exhibition is held at a shaved ice shop on Heping Island in Keelung.





珊瑚造型源自於真實的樣貌。
在工作站中,珊瑚分株大多被固定在灰白色圓形基座上,偶爾也有以小方塊為底的。

The coral forms are derived from real-life appearances. 
In the workstation, most coral fragments are fixed onto grey-white circular bases, with some occasionally placed on small square ones.
