眾生 —— 吳士偉與他筆下的花｜策展人 鄭乃銘｜訪談

吳士偉筆下的花，在我腦海中纏繞著就是「 眾生 」兩個字。

我之所以想先要破這個「眾生」的題，乃是因為吳士偉筆下的花，跳開傳統水墨對於花卉的選題與類項的著重，一點都沒有當我們想到傳統的水墨花卉作品，就只會浮現畫的應該是那些花題。吳士偉選擇尋常巷弄間的花，而非細心呵護特意調養出的花，當這樣的立意落點妥當，眾生，自然就透徹了他的作品。

再從另外個角度來規範，這眾生無疑也就是肖像。

誰說，肖像就一定指的是人呢？

—— 策展人 鄭乃銘

‍

The lingering term that Wu Shi-Wei’s flowers bring to mind is “sentient beings.”

‍

The reason why I wanted to point out the idea of “sentient beings” at the very beginning is that Wu Shi-Wei’s flowers break free from the selection and categorization of flowers in traditional ink works, and differ significantly from the regular flowers that spring to mind when we think of the flowers in traditional works. Wu selects ordinary flowers in alleyways that are not grown through meticulous care, which is incredibly apt. Therefore, the idea of sentient beings is crucial when appreciating his works.

‍

From another point of view, these “sentient beings” are portraits.

‍

Who says portraits must be presented in human forms?
