拍品資料及來源

《書本拼貼系列:窗外》是劉丹在八十年代作於夏威夷的早期罕作,當時他正在經歷重大的人生改變以及個人風格的轉變。此幅拼貼作品對藝術家來講意義重大,曾被選為他一九八九年檀香山藝術學院個展的重點作品之一,而該展是紀念華人抵達夏威夷兩百週年的慶祝活動之一。展覽同時展出其素描與繪畫作品,記錄下他經歷人生巨變後的新生活及新的藝術視野。他在展覽開幕時曾言:「全新的心態創造嶄新的藝術。」1 劉丹與前妻魏莉莎於一九八一年移居夏威夷,後者是著名中國戲劇教授及學者,其肖像亦見於本作之中。劉丹在夏威夷需要學習新的語言並適應異國文化,過程正如他在建立自己的繪畫理念:「口音比文法更重要,觀點比結構更關鍵,視野比技巧更有說服力。」2

本作展示出劉丹對中西兩種藝術風格的濃厚興趣,以其自由奔放的筆法,及他對中西藝術歷史與傳承的深厚敬意,在畫面中體現二者的對立與交融,妥協與掙扎。3 肖像的前縮視角與細膩的素描筆法,體現出劉丹對西方藝術中線性透視法及明暗對比法的精准掌握,塑造出逼真的立體感和空間縱深感。然而,窗外的半抽象景色卻以淡墨渲染的寫意筆觸呈現出哈萊亞卡拉火山的獨特地貌,同時令人聯想到中國傳統山水立軸。劉丹將中國水墨和西方素描巧妙地並置與融合成一幅中西合璧的動人畫作。本作運用多種混合元素,是其筆下極為罕見之作,與他以乾筆描繪花卉(見拍品編號831)、文人石及山水的成名作截然不同。
