有點像我又有點像你
奈良美智

很多人看我的作品時說:「啊,這很像我!」[…] 因此,我的作品就是「有點像我」又「有點像你」[…]然而每件作品各有其本質,每一件都充滿藝術價值。──奈良美智1

《S-Girl》(拍品編號719)是典型奈良美智筆下的肖像,極富代表性,引起世人共鳴。此畫作於1998年,創自1990年代藝術家旅居德國期間,當時他發展出其獨特風格,在中性色調的單色背景上,把挺直人像繪於畫面中間。在這段時間裡,他首次在海外生活所經歷的獨處體驗,不但令他勾起童年的寂寞回憶,還讓自己重拾他所形容的「真我」,以前在日本生活時所受到「被他人監視」的感覺幾乎令他遺忘了真我本性。2

藝術家的論述為其作品注入強烈的自省意味,同時蘊含回憶和緬懷過去之情。評論家松井綠曾寫道,奈良美智的魅力在於他重現「兒童的想像力及對身體的認知」的能力,3 賦予作品能夠喚起觀者童年回憶之表現。《S-Girl》的主角穿上鮮紅連衣裙,向我們怒視的她叛逆卻又不失可愛,兩雙小手握成憤怒的拳頭;她是藝術家的自畫像,是喚醒其真我性情的中介,也是代表我們純真而身心脆弱的歲月之畫像。
