註:畫背貼有香港少勵畫廊標籤

《泉》所呈現的,不止是一幅雙人肖像,還包含了人和自然的和諧並存。王沂東在八○年代遊學美國以後,發現故鄉山東沂蒙才是成就其藝術涵養之地,當地的人文和自然環境,亦成為他盡情發揮的最佳取材。

上善若水,動與靜迴環不息

畫中少女充滿朝氣,赤足熨貼水石,顯示人與自然的親密無間,突出了水土溫潤之美。文藝評論人王兆軍曾經提到:「王沂東善於將油畫創作的基本技巧與作品中的情緻結合起來,在靜態中體現動態,在穩重中尋找靈動,在外部色彩中寄寓內涵,從而在藝術上形成了獨特的表現力。」正好道出《泉》如何透過人物動作、服飾和眼神,形成畫面的張力與循環。本作左方的少女雙手高舉,右方的少女則張足佇立,兩者互為犄角,彼此平衡,確立整體的動靜循環;另一方面,左邊的少女眼神迴避了觀者,褲子則以水藍色呼應背後的山泉,右方紅褲少女看似靜立,卻在轉身回望當中,表情從容不迫,與觀者直接交流,如此循環不息,構建出作品汩汩無止的生命力。

涵古茹今,豐富東方女性身體語言

中國傳統繪畫不乏以女性為題材,其身份多數是神仙、仕女或者貴族,故身體語言多維持於雍容、含蓄、婉約的狀態,而《泉》的主角,卻是芳華正茂的鄉間少女,她們所散發的清新、活潑和朝氣,恰恰為傳統作品所少見,如何表現此種特質而不流俗,成為本作的成功關鍵。歐洲繪畫自中世紀以來,即著重表現人體的比例與自然美態,十八、十九世紀的新古典主義運動,更成就許多兼具古典美與自然美的佳作,成為藝術家的參考素材。本作兩位少女的身體語言真率而不失優雅,其釋放的手足姿態,更顯出與古代女性截然不同的田園氣息,呼應著鄉間生活的同時,亦象徵了東方女性在新時代享有的自主與自由。
