鄭路此次於台北當代藝術館的個展,展名【潮騷】借自日本文學家三島由紀夫的同名小說;這本1954年出版的小說,描述一位青年漁夫與船主獨生女的愛情故事,隱喻青年必須通過層層考驗與障礙,經歷人生的風風雨雨,在嚐盡辛酸之後,才能得到真正的愛情與甜蜜的果實。鄭路個展,呼應了三島小說的內涵,而展現了本身創作的脈絡和發展歷程。
Zheng Lu’s solo exhibition at MOCA, Taipei uses the title of Shiosai, a novel by the Japanese writer, Yukio Mishima. The 1954 novel recounts the love story between a young fisherman and the only daughter of the fishing boat owner, implying that youths have to pass tests and obstacles, endure difficulties and challenges, and taste the bitterness in life before they really attain the real love and its sweetness. Zheng’s solo exhibition responses to Mishima’s novel as it represents the context of his creative work and its development.
本展共展出鄭路近兩年完成的十五組創作,包括戶外與室內的大型雕塑裝置、觀念性的架上繪畫,以及多媒體影像裝置,透過多樣性的創作,詮釋了「水」的物態轉換,以及「水」在不同空間中的千變萬化,並藉此象徵個體生命成長的多種樣態與可能性,進而反思社會環境對個人的塑造力量和人文發展的本質,也就是對於自然、自性、和自我的追求。
Fifteen sets of artworks created in the recent two years are included in this exhibition, including both large outdoor and indoor sculptural installations, conceptual paintings, and multi-media video installations. Through diversified creation, Zheng interprets the material transformation of water as well as its infinite changes in different spaces. His creative work symbolizes the diversity and potentiality of individual life and its growth. In the meantime, it contemplates on the shaping forces imposed on individuals by social environment and the essence of humanistic development that is manifested as the pursuit of nature, the self, and individuality.
