拍品資料及來源
1947年至1949年為陳蔭羆創作生涯的關鍵分水嶺。於1925年12歲離開家鄉後,藝術家終於在1947年再次踏上暌違二十餘年的中國故土。他當時主要居住在香港,並曾短暫赴北京、上海和杭州旅行,1948年並應邀至廣州嶺南大學擔任客座講師及舉辦展覽,這些在中國遊歷的經驗,在往後都成為他返美後的創作養分。居於香港的陳蔭羆和嶺南畫派的大師趙少昂和黃君璧時有交流切磋,嶺南畫派的繪畫理論或許也間接影響到了他具象繪畫裡的創作,亦喚起了他對中國傳統文化新的認識。此次上拍的《紅霞》、《棲息》(拍品編號5072)及《五喜圖》(拍品編號5073),皆為陳蔭羆在1950年代轉變創作風格後的具象繪畫佳作。
1965年,藝術家於奧蒂斯藝術學院藝廊(Otis Art Institute Gallery)展出百件新作,包括54幅主要表現中國景緻的水彩畫。創作於該年的《紅霞》採用橫幅構圖,描繪中國山川河岸之景。遠景的丘壑層層相連,前景則使用乾筆和微微顫動的線條勾勒出森林,整幅畫面結構完整,看出畫家在鑽研中國傳統繪畫多年後所練就的成熟筆法。他又融合了西方繪畫講究的用色能力,將整張作品施以薄薄的粉紅和淡藍,營造出奼紫嫣紅、漫天彩霞的壯麗山水。
《棲息》與《五喜圖》則是以中國書畫裡常見的禽鳥為題材。《棲息》中,畫家不著墨過多風景,將背景以黃綠上色,營造出傳統山水畫裡的空明澄淨意象。中央焦點集中在三隻棲息於頂峰的鳥兒身上,牠們弓著背脊、仰著脖子、張著大眼,充滿著倔強之氣,彷彿站立在寒風中,不畏冷霜的姿態讓人聯想到清朝八大山人擅長描繪的孤傲飛鳥。《五喜圖》則是五隻相依相偎的喜鵲在枝頭跳躍歌唱,粉藍色的背景似春天將至,樹幹由下而上,斜向挺立,而喜鵲們相視而語,彷彿正為世人們傳春報喜。自古以來,中國傳統書畫將才情、性靈及精神內涵視為獲致藝術最高品味的基礎,而陳蔭羆以西方現代主義的結構及色彩所傳達的東方寫意精髓,成功詮釋他內心最理想的藝術追求。
