拍品資料及來源

仇德樹身為八十年代「草草社」的領導人物,是最早在中國發展抽象及水墨藝術的先鋒之一,為求創新而不斷將傳統媒材如水墨、印章和宣紙的運用推陳出新。生於上海的仇氏自幼學習國畫、篆刻及字畫裝裱,後在文化大革命中成為一名紅衛兵畫家,從此展開其藝術生涯。其成熟畫風深受自幼接觸的傳統技法和艱苦生活經歷影響,但同時富有革新精神。

此二幅作品難得罕見,乃仇氏筆下的重要早期作品,展現其個人風格的形式轉變。作於1982年,《書法》(拍品編號845與《裂變——精靈》(拍品編號846呈現仇氏早期獨有的撕裂拼接技法,並以水墨渲染背景上的印章作為裝飾。身為篆刻家,印章是仇氏作品構圖中不可或缺的一部分,視之為繪畫元素,而並非突顯其創作者身份。畫中的人形形態恍如佈滿交錯裂縫的肖像,裂縫裡蘊含一股強大力量,喻意中國在經歷文化隔離後首次展現的創意力量。在相互矛盾的創造與破壞過程中,其藝術向傳統文化致敬,同時又在排斥傳統手法。這種二元性質歸因於他自小培養的佛教思想,代表著他投入思考人生短暫和超脫生死的過程,同時層層疊疊的拼貼使人聯想起萬物皆空的佛家思想。

到九十年代末,八十年代作品中不加修飾的情感已成過去,但撕裂拼接技法依然是其獨特藝術語彙的重要特徵。《裂變-本原-禪境之十一》(拍品編號847不以傳統水墨意象為題,反而探究中國宣紙的特質,及其在山水畫中的重要角色,紙上的平行裂痕形成山巒,拼接而成的紙層則象徵天與海。畫中風景的冷色調顯示仇氏擺脫宋代畫家郭熙提倡的現實生活題材,並將觀者帶入一個未被人跡污染、純潔靜謐的自然境地;這亦意味著仇氏心中的裂痕與受傷靈魂逐漸癒合。
