「屏住呼吸,集中精神,仔細觀察,然後將針頭壓入正確的位置。」千年以來,東方傳統醫學一直隱藏在神秘的面紗後。東方醫學專注於診斷和治療根本的根源問題上,而非治療外顯症狀,並認為每個人都有通過沉思和自我分析進行心靈修復的能力。韓國藝術家孫破(Sohn Paa)選擇以尋根的自我探究,透過「針灸」為媒介表現於繪畫和雕塑上,藉以尋求內心真理與美的境地。
孫破1967年出生於韓國,畢業於慶北大學藝術學院,並於啟明大學取得碩士學位。學習西畫的他憶起童年時對尖銳物的畏懼,這來自潛意識的恐懼在多年後昇華成藝術創作的主要源泉。從初期以牛角、刀器等日常現成品進行實驗創作,最終發現針灸以極微的痛感為人體開拓經脈的大觀世界。這另類的哲思激發其創作動能,啟動了東西方文化並行的創作探索。
在繪畫上,孫破的創作探究著東方文化,在他的繪畫中可以看到「精神能量」的表現與描繪。如同自我療癒的過程,孫破在作畫時通過針灸在畫布上堆積出量能,他的畫作超越平面的鋪陳而展現出充滿活力的空間感、量體及動能。這為觀看者提供了充沛的視覺感受,此時的繪畫重點已不僅只於圖像上,而是凸顯了針灸這個物件及其與人類牢固的文化關係。將人類精神強大的能量與抽象藝術表現聯繫在一起的同時,「針」作為畫面上成千上萬個的單位體,瞬間凝結成強大的意識並貫穿整個畫面。如同禪修般重複佈針的創作過程也在雕塑上體現出外顯的張力及自我鞭策的內斂。孫破不斷的自我審視,如其中文名「破」字般不斷地自我超越使其特殊的創作觀念活耀於國際藝壇,並受邀參加2017年威尼斯雙年展。
"Hold your breath, concentrate, observe closely, and press the needle into the exact point." For thousands of years, traditional Oriental medicine has been hidden behind a mysterious veil. Eastern medicine is concerned with diagnosing and treating the underlying root problem instead of treating the outer symptoms, we each possess the ability to engage in self-healing through contemplation and self-analysis, Korean artist Sohn Paa chooses to seek truth and beauty and put that on his artistic form.
In all of Sohn’s paintings, the emphasis is on the culture of work. The manifestation and depiction of “spiritualized energy” can be seen in his works. Sohn displayed energy on his canvas through his use of acupuncture as he painted the abstract painting, not in their flatness but vibrant space, movement, and even geometric. This provides the viewer with a visual representation of energy and power. The focal point of the painting is not just placed on images but on acupuncture and their powerful relationship with humankind. This human spirit powerful energy connects to abstract art, his works reflect the insane power inspired by acupuncture which is in almost every detail of his works that mixed with this kind of ego.
Sohn Paa born in South Korea in 1967, got Ed.M at Keimyung University and B.F.A at Kyungpook National University, living and work in Daegu. Sohn’s psychology of art is a procession of the subconscious, he communicates emotion in the works, challenges himself, and works through the emotions he sees presented in the artistic message.
In his early career, Through various experimentations with everyday materials such as horns of a cow, nails, and knives, Sohn finally encountered the acupuncture needle.
As soon as he employed it in his art, Sohn realized it was the perfect material with which to connect his inner self to the outside world. In order to accentuate its material properties, he creates a unique technique, congregated the needles on the canvas, and putting the pigment on the white space, adding depth to the flat surface of the canvas.
Sohn employs a meditative approach to his work, contemplating the relationship between the body and the mind through the acupuncture needle. His works were exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2017.
