【冥想集 Meditation Series】李惠琪個展 展覽訪談

在當代社會，人們面臨著高度壓力、快節奏的生活方式，以及與科技不斷進步相伴的信息過載；資訊的湧入如潮水般洶湧而至，將人們淹沒在一片繁忙之中。這種現代生活所帶來的挑戰，包括焦慮、壓力和情緒波動。然而，在這些煩囂之中，讓近幾年冥想正念的風潮興起，像是一股清流般漸漸湧現，為了應對現代人面臨的種種困境，化解焦慮的生活習慣與職場壓力，人們開始尋找一種與自然、與世界達成和諧的方法，使心靈得以安寧，讓大腦得以喘息，從而重新梳理自身的過去和現在。
本次襲園美術館迎來了《冥想集》李惠琪個展。透過其獨特的視角，我們可以窺探藝術家如何反映當下。這系列是《山中物語》系列的延伸，始於2016年。藝術家藉由收集理髮院中的各種髮絲，經過清理後，觀察到髮絲交織的樣貌與自然景象的相似之處，並以東方的文化思維和手法來創作，展開了一場從容靜默的心靈探索。她以深邃的禪意描繪出髮絲盤繞交織的形態，將抽象的物質肌理轉化為詩意的符號。李惠琪透過繪畫讓符號的「能指」及「所指」維持在持續滑動的多元指涉，讓意義的「次序」在當下進行重新排列和「再組構」，使圖像的語言意義不斷地擴張。換言之，李惠琪在實體物件的頭髮中，看見東方山水的另一種可能，爾後再將視角拉近，潛入山水內更深層的微觀世界。
繪畫不僅是一種對形式的感性直觀，更是在展示創作者對世界的理解和認識，越多不同角度的產生，所指向的現實就會越發多元，進而提高我們對真實探索的慾望。與此同時，我們翻閱著前人留下的筆墨，理解他們對過往的認識，在這種相互參照的過程中，將過去至今所匯聚而成的圖像凝縮某種歷史的線索，亦成為一種透過了解過去找到現在的基石或入口。李惠琪用繪畫記錄了個人心理靈當下的念想，透過對現實物的觀察，寫實地呈現出對象物的底蘊，融合想像挖掘出生命不同階段所慾探索的議題。《冥想集》的創作形式以素描為主，將鉛筆深邃的鐵灰色，一筆一筆地交織出對於時間的重新思考，以畫筆直接而親密地連結過去，召喚未來。誠如李在創作自述中所言：「在一筆一畫的推波助瀾下疊出似淺而深的鐵灰，那似近且遠的過往與未知，在反反覆覆的輕觸撫揉中隱然浮現。」這是將意識跨越出身體的方式，使抽象的意識轉化成實相的存在，讓歷史與未知在反覆堆疊中悄然現身。
《冥想集》邀請眾人一同專注於當下，建立自身內在的寧靜與和諧，並透過圖像的力量成為反觀自身的一面明鏡。緩下人生的步伐，重整每一道呼吸，讓思緒和身體再度相逢於此。

Rapid technological change in contemporary societies is often linked to increased levels of psychological stress as individuals try to cope with displacement and social fracture. However, there is also a growing trend of people turning to meditation and mindfulness as ways to seek inner peace and harmony with nature.
The Xi-yuan Art Museum is excited to present the unique and thought-provoking "Meditation Series" by Lee Hui-Chi. This series is an extension of her acclaimed "Mountaineers' Dialogues" series, and it probes the present moment from a distinct perspective. Lee's process involved collecting strands of hair from barber shops, cleaning them, and observing their interwoven patterns to suggest parallels with natural landscapes. She employs Eastern cultural thinking and techniques to explore the mind in a serene and contemplative manner. Lee's intricate depictions of the intertwined forms of human hair, with their profound Zen-like elegance, transform the materials into poetic symbols. Her drawings expand the meanings of the images, offering a unique and engaging experience for viewers.
Drawing allows artists to express their understanding and perception of the world. When diverse perspectives are represented, they point to more varied realities. Lee Hui-Chi uses drawing to record her thoughts and emotions based on visual observations. She realistically presents the essence of objects through her observations of reality, integrating imagination and exploring different stages of life. The "Meditation Series" invites viewers to reconsider time, directly and intimately connecting the past and summoning the future with each pencil mark.
The exhibition is an opportunity to appreciate art, focus on the present moment, establish inner peace and balance, and become a mirror for self-reflection through the images. It provides a break from fast-paced life, a moment to let thoughts and bodies meet again. We invite you to experience this unique blend of art and mindfulness and discover a new way to find peace in the chaos of modern life.
