關於本展 About the Exhibition

蔚藍暗夜,百花盛開,綻放紅彩靈光。飛禽走獸、蟲蝶鳥蛙,慕光歡舞紛至沓來,迎向紅、橙、黃、綠、藍、靛、紫所織染閃爍韶光的花瓣,沐浴在那道流淌著金黃生命之泉的聖光中,花蝶鳥獸蟲蛙們瞠目私語盡顯驚嘆奇神之情,未明的棉花糖雲朵,對稱而乖巧地排列在夜空與飄盪其中的花朵,讓那金粉紅花粉微微顫動飄灑而出…頌讚著神聖又神祕的生之華,也隱匿著繁盛的剎那時間至極後的幻滅之悲。這是藝術家張立曄的繪畫作品〈百花樹〉所帶給我們的深層感動。

本展以「繁花夢露」- 張立曄的靈光樂園為名,展出藝術家張立曄近十年的夢幻繽紛又帶著樸拙童趣的繪畫創作:「蝴蝶人」、「童話樂園」、「萬物有靈」和「靈光」等系列。同時,也追朔他早期在報社為副刊畫插畫的報紙原稿和原作,以及初入畫家專職所創作帶著原生藝術趣味的表現性系列作品如:「社會邊緣人」、「檳榔西施」、「土石流」和「護法金剛」等,來與他今日的創作做一比較對照,讓大家探訪一個藝術家所開展的創作脈絡。

本展策展人黃志偉提出「繁花夢露」一題,是「蝴蝶人」裡一花一世界、一塵一世間的層層疊疊詠嘆繽紛燦爛。刻印在臉上的是對過去燦爛的毀壞,洗鍊成現今畫家、畫家老婆和小孩簡單無華的滿滿的幸福的印記與圓滿;是在幽暗夜裡竊竊盡情開趴的〈小怪獸樂園〉,隱匿在陰沉的藍綠調性中,緩緩蠕動、或流竄飄動、或張牙舞爪歇斯底里般躁動的長腳魚、人腳獅、象鼻狗、草型兔、雀鳳、蝶花等莫以名之的各種精怪;是「萬物有靈」中的靈光湧現,照耀在一塵不染的仙境桃源,在七彩祥雲天女散花的瑞兆下,那世外之島由虛空注入,眾神龜、錦鯉、魚龍等神獸四方來朝的玄妙境界。這樣的靈光畫境乃純淨之土,邀請觀者入境穿梭優遊一探淨土風光,也一探畫家內心所望之境。

圍繞在〈一天〉24小時的時光景象中,觸動了緣起緣滅的媒介時空間的存在觀念,「一天」與一時的概念等同,一時一天,日復一日重複輪轉,天天都有一樣的一天,天天都是現在、過去與未來的天,天天都是不一樣的天,在〈一天〉的靈光樂園裡,是時間的瞬間所綻放的花華,猶如繁花盛綻之極,乃為凋零衰敗前的一瞬間相,一瞬間、一剎那、一時、一天如鏡般的折射出這一繁花夢露極致之境,雖世間繁華如朝露般的曇花一現,但已然是昇華過後之再生,夢恨已逝慰藉於心…

Ethereal Bloom – The Luminous Paradise of Chang Li-Yeh presents a radiant world where blossoms shimmer in divine light and fantastical creatures roam under deep blue skies. Inspired by his painting Blossoming Tree, this exhibition captures the sacred beauty and fleeting sorrow of life at its most vibrant.

Featuring works from the past decade, including the series Butterfly ManFairy Tale ParadiseAnimism and Aura, the show traces Chang’s journey from whimsical dreamscapes to spiritual utopias. Alongside these are his early newspaper per illustrations and expressive series like Self-Portrait and Social Outcast, revealing a transformation from raw, intuitive forms to intricate, symbolic compositions.

Curated by Huang Chih-Wei, the exhibition explores the idea of “ephemeral dreams”—moments that sparkle and vanish like morning dew. In worlds filled with playful monsters, sacred animals, and floating blossoms, time stretches and folds. Ethereal Bloom invites visitors to wander through Chang’s luminous landscapes and glimpse the artist’s innermost visions of joy, loss and renewal.

藝術家介紹 About the Artist

藝術家張立曄出生於嘉義,東吳大學社會學系畢業,早期熱愛文學與詩的書寫和閱讀,跟所有愛畫畫的人一樣,從小便喜歡畫畫塗鴉,課本的空白處無一倖免皆被其所塗滿,無形中成了一種難以更改的「壞習慣」,這「壞習慣」一直深植在他的潛意識裏頭,今日畫作中滿溢而密集的圖像,或許正是這壞習慣的延伸而成為他作品面貌的鮮明特色。

張立曄初期作品以社會關懷出發,對社會邊緣人與弱勢族群進行描寫, 表現時代和社會變遷中小人物的流離、失根與存在困境。中期延續社會關懷路線,進行「檳榔西施」與「土石流」兩項社會議題的創作,前者反映了少女身體在台灣工業城市中的異化與色情化圖像,後者則對全球暖化與生態危機所暴露的政治人性光怪陸離現象進行批判。

近期作品轉為對個人內在潛意識能量的深層觀照,將身體與靈魂體的情感、欲念、記憶與糾葛執念視為一個小宇宙的經絡迴路, 將五臟神經血脈以意識流的自我幻化圖形塡充取代, 以自我變形、花形、山形各種包羅萬象的大自然元素重組內在山水。從《蝴蝶人系列》對自己過往情感、欲望與記憶的整理、爬梳與觀照,到《小宇宙系列》將自己置放到與大自然的聯結,在身體內在的小周天𥚃,佈置一座安身立命的山水花園。此時,寧靜的傾聽體內的流泉聲,與大自然的一草一木相應和,透過每一座山巒的聳立與小樹叢、小溪流的滋長與迴流,而將自身凈化,將山水世界放到身體𥚃面,一筆一畫的建造一座屬於自己內在的花園。

Chang Li-Yeh was born in Chiayi. He graduated from the Department of Sociology at Soochow University in Taiwan. In his youth, he developed a love for reading and writing literature and poetry. Like many budding artists, he enjoyed doodling and habitually filled every blank space in his textbooks, which ultimately became an indelible “bad habit”. This tendency shaped his subconscious, leading to the brimming, compact imagery found in his paintings today. Perhaps it is precisely this “bad habit” that contributes to the unique characteristics of his work.

Chang’s early works centered on social issues, portraying the struggles of marginalized communities. His Betel Nut Beauty series explored the objectification of young women in Taiwan’s industrial cities, while Landslide reflected on climate change and ecological destruction. These works captured the raw, often surreal contradictions of human nature and politics.

In recent years, his focus has turned inward, exploring the subconscious. He reimagines the body and soul as a microcosm of emotions, memories, and desires. His figures morph and flow, their limbs entwined with mountains, rivers, and blooming landscapes—an intimate fusion of self and nature. In the Butterfly Man series, he reflects on love, longing and memory, while the Small Universe series builds a connection between the body and the natural world, creating a sanctuary where every tree, stream, and peak resonates with harmony.
