米羅與版創藝術的「深度」實驗 Miro and the Experiment of Fine Art Prints in ‘Depth’

二十世紀是歐美版創藝術急遽發展的時期，由印刷術傳承而來的各種媒材與技法，吸引許多優秀藝術家加入創作的行列，胡安・米羅（Joan Miro, 1893-1983）亦是最重要的其中一位，在其生涯中創作超過2000件版創藝術作品。米羅的版創作品以凹版（Intaglio）、石版（Lithograph）與金剛砂（Carborundum）為主，其中金剛砂技法作品被認為是米羅版創藝術中的頂尖之作。這種運用炭化矽創作的版創藝術，能夠在版畫紙平面上創造出如浮雕般的深度與天鵝絨般的肌理，米羅在1960年代開始運用金剛砂進行創作，並深深著迷於此媒材所帶來的特殊效果。

曜畫廊於今年春季檔期，將展出米羅豐富精彩的版創藝術，並藉由對其金剛砂技法的探討，同時展出華人藝術大師趙無極生涯唯一一件金剛砂創作，以及台灣三個世代重要版創藝術家廖修平、劉自明、楊忠銘對於「深度」的研究、實驗與創新作品。

從物質性的媒材出發，20世紀與21世紀的版創藝術家們，因著時代與環境的變化，以各自的天份與思索，為這個世界帶來了令人驚嘆的成果。今日我們何其有幸，能夠見著他們的作品齊聚一堂，讓我們看見版創藝術這道窄門裡，無限寬廣的世界。

The 20th century marked a period of rapid growth for Fine Art Prints in the Western world. Various media and techniques attracted numerous esteemed artists to engage in creative pursuits, with Joan Miró (1893-1983) standing out as one of the most prominent figures. Throughout his career, Miró produced over 2000 works of fine art prints. His works primarily utilized intaglio, lithography, and carborundum, with the latter being considered the pinnacle of Miró’s fine art print oeuvre. Employing carborundum, a silicon carbide compound, Miró could create on print paper surfaces a relief-like depth and texture resembling velvet, soft and smooth. Miró began experimenting with carborundum in the 1960s and became deeply fascinated by the unique effects it produced.

This spring, Gallery de sol will showcase Miró’s captivating fine art prints, delving into his carborundum technique. At the same time, the exhibition will feature the only carborundum artwork in the career of the Asian art master ZAO Wou-Ki, as well as innovative works exploring “depth” by three generations of important Taiwanese fine art print artists: LIAO Shiou-Ping, LIU Zi-Ming, and YANG Chung-Ming. Starting from the materiality of their mediums, fine art print artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, driven by the shifts in their historical period and surroundings, have brought forth astonishing results through their individual talents and contemplations. Today, we are fortunate to observe their works assembled together, revealing the boundless world within the narrow gate of fine art printmaking.
