清大藝中 賴小秋撰文

李春信Peter Lee自遠遊英倫返國後，結合中國文化與西方藝術思潮，他不斷反省自身創作哲學，試圖有所突破與創新。近期實踐健康藝術的真諦，堅持依循自然簡約的生活原則，努力不懈地創作藝術，藝術路程雖然曲折，健康藝術這條泱泱大道之上，他找到工作伙伴牛兒們共同耕作，也一起漫步起舞，創作藝術。Peter運用最少的社會資源達到最大的精神效益，意念如天馬行空般地馳騁，他以種田作為修行，盡自己的本分，瞭解四時節氣、耕田犁地、敬天知足、吃苦耐勞。



他這次駕著牛而漫步於畫布之上，蘊含對腳下土地的熱愛與極深的創作毅力。這次的抽象油畫行動有趣而生動，畫中的肌里、層次與結構而有氤醞、厚重、輕盈等等多重變化， Peter已經啟發未來與牛兒共同執行行動藝術的可能性， 但他總是默默腳踏實、質樸率真地的向前行。



Peter落實健康藝術，觀其名思其意，便是與身體互動有絕大關係的藝術創作，專業創作發展結合各方健康理念，努力不懈地朝這方面前進，逐漸蘊育豐富內涵。2010年春天在清大藝術中心展出北京駐村時期創作的作品，材質的選取幾乎是靈機一動，見到的當下，立體木質創作躍然心中，金、木、水、火、土等五行的意象流轉其間，他的思維便如水般涵蓋整體。當然也秉持著自創作以來的雕塑語彙，中介媒材巧妙地運作不溫不火地游移兩端，架起思想與意象運轉的中介層面。

2011年曾受清大通識中心策展班級的邀約，展出〈健康藝術之線形系列〉作品，當同學們造訪新豐田間教室與新埔住所，紛紛驚訝藝術家過著農家生活，用柴火烹煮食物與茶水，以傳統古早方式養水牛種田，生活簡單而樸實。他體會牽著兩頭小牛的牛繩經驗，將之轉化為線性創作，藉著這樣不斷的線形速寫，凝聚創作思考與意念，都幻化成藝術軌跡上的特殊記憶，百張甚至上千張線形系列的作品就堆疊於屋內一角。

Peter由牛繩經驗牽引出誠摯的線型軌跡，駕牛的經驗更是需要調節身體的力量，將之傳遞給牛兒，人與動物已是一體，共同形塑出畫面的點、線、面。他的美學經驗與創作表現形式是如此地獨特，他將生命的感受與經驗，轉成抽象的詩意空間，在現實生活中，試圖執行生命存在的圖騰，和工作伙伴牛兒尋找藝術的真實意義。

人和藝術之健康藝術

人和藝術之健康藝術

人是一種感性和理性並存的動物，個人的感性和理性會以不同的比例出現在不同的時間和空間中。中國的中醫理論講究陰陽調合和五行運行必須互相平衡，不可偏向一方。而中國儒家思想中庸之道講究為人處事必須不偏不倚。藝術家為求身、心、靈的自我解放和平衡，藝術家以中醫理論和儒家哲學之中庸之道為藝術創作的理論基礎。並自稱藝術創作為健康創作，其藝術品為健康藝術。

藝術家將試圖將創作分為兩個階段，第一階段是隨意自由任憑無意識的狀態來創作，並以自身對大自然啟發和河水無窮盡的變化為靈感來源；另一階段是憑藉美學的認知經驗來發現美的存在，經由理性和嚴謹的態度來創造以感性出發，而以理性來包覆感性的健康藝術。

在心靈上，創作者是自由的像大河的流水；是嚴謹的像屹立不搖的大山。在身體上，創作者是身隨心轉，不斷地讓身體的力量來帶動四肢並讓身體遊走作品之中，身體的肌肉產生時而放鬆時而緊繃的相互關係。

藝術家相信透過如此上述的創作狀態，其創作過程是一個健康的療育過程，而作品所反射的也是一種表現生命裡不同階段和不同程度理性與感性的轉換過程。讓觀者自解和省思!!



Health Art

The human is a perceptual and rational coexisting animal. Individual perception and rational will appear in different proportions at different times and in different spaces. China's Chinese Medicine Theory is fastidious that the masculine and feminine elements, to compound, must be mutually balanced with five lines of movements, gold, wooden, water, fire, earth, which cannot be partial to one side. The Chinese Confucian thought, Golden Mean, is fastidious about the manner with which one hands matters too, without bias and without favor. The artist asks the body, the heart, the spirit, self-liberation and balanced, and takes the Chinese Medicine Theory and the Confucian philosophy of the Golden Mean as his artistic creation theory. The artist believes that artistic creation should be a health creation. By following this artistic creation theory, the artist considers his artwork a healthy art.


The artist will attempt a creating process divided into two stages. The first stage is the optional freedom, whatever unconscious conditions create, taking oneself to natural inspiration like river water, inexhaustible change as the origin of inspiration. The second stage relies on esthetics the cognitive experience to discover the existence of beauty, followed by rationality and rigorous manner to create a healthy art that is balanced combination of perception and rationality.


In the mind, the creator is the free running water in the great river; the mountain which rigorously stands erect without swinging. In the body, the creator is the movements that follow one’s desires, leting the body's strength drive the four limbs and letting the body unceasingly walk randomly through the work. The body's muscles move through times of strength and contraction through times of release and flexibility.

The artist believes that by creating the above condition and following this artistic creation theory, the process creates a healthy curative nature, nurturing the creative process. The work reveals the performance of following this creative process and shows manifestations from the different periods, exhibiting the varying degrees of rationality and perception.

Order and disorder

Order and disorder

Order and disorder, describes the way of the artist’s creating. In the eye of the artist, our nature includes the spaces of order and disorder at the same time. In the space of disorder, it is full of infinite possibilities and uncertainties. Just like the running river, no matter rapid or tardy, is still flowing forward and never stops. In the space of order, it is full of extreme sense. Just like the alternation of day and night, the change of four seasons, are all designed to balance the energy of disorder. Between the spaces of order and disorder, contrariety and conflict are produced, and then we could perceive the incredible beauty.

At the beginning of the artist creation, it was in a free status. The spiritual thinking and meditation construct the initial work. Then, unlimited dots, lines, and faces come out. It’s just like the chaos of the cosmos, not only full of uncertainties, but extreme power of life and creation. The artist himself as a creator, use his intelligent and sense to make everything in the law of the nature. With the flowing of the time, the disorder will return to the order.

The artist believes that interesting things usually happen at the moment of contrariety and conflict. The incredible beauty is also happened at that moment. So he tends to create within two statuses, one is the disorder, which is the origin of the creation, full of unexpected amazement from sensitivity and romance; the other is order, which turns the status to sense and adds the element of balance. Trying to discover the combination of these two statuses, you’ll see the beauty.

Statement of Order and Disorder

序 order & disorder

以序為主題，是在描述藝術家（Peter Lee）的創作方式。在藝術家的眼中，我們的大自然同時存在著有序與無序（order & disorder）的空間。在無序的空間裡，充滿了無限的可能性與不確定性，就像是流動的河水，時快，時慢，一切隨著環境的不同，有不同的變化，但永遠是不停地向前推進。在有序的空間裡，透露了極端的理性，如同晝夜四季的交替，一切的內容都是被設計來平衡無序空間裡的能量。在這樣有序與無序的空間中，就產生了對立和衝突，並從中發現出不可思議的「美」。
所以藝術家在創作初期，是處於一個放鬆的狀態，讓任何靈動和冥想來構成畫面，創作出不拘束的點、線、面。如同大自然初始的渾沌（chaos）狀態，一切的景象充滿了不確定性，但其背後卻隱藏了無限的生命力與創造力。而藝術家本身同時又是造物者（creator），運用智慧和理性，讓大自然的運行終將遵循一定的法則，任何的失序現象，都會隨著時間的推進和空間的變化，回歸正軌。
藝術家認為，有趣和引人注意的事情，往往發生在對立和衝突的時刻。在碰觸和交集之間，產生藝術家眼中不可思議的美感。所以藝術家刻意用二種狀態來創作，其一的disorder為創意的來源，永遠充滿不期而遇的驚奇，是以感性和浪漫為出發點；其二為order，逐漸將創作的態度轉為理性，介入平衡的元素，並試圖去尋找兩者狀態之間的交集，亦即為「美」的存在。
