美術推廣教學

引文

11月16號是佛光緣美術館惠中寺邀請胡達華老師來台中做釘畫推廣教育活動,我當然樂見其成,覺得這個是非常棒的活動,一方面推廣胡老師的釘畫,第二方面能讓釘畫傳承下去。所以我就居中協調了一下,胡老師知道這個屬於公益性質後,告訴我不用工資只要材料費。我算了一下這樣子的費用剛好符合惠中寺的材料費報價,缺少大腦的我當然沒有考慮得很仔細。結果讓胡老師自己支出高鐵的費用以及他的助教費用,讓我對他非常的不好意思。由於這課程外面根本很難遇到,所以報名參加的人都抱著非常新鮮的心情來學習,當然胡老師也沒讓大家失望。精彩的教學個別的指導,讓大家在敲擊樂的聲音中臉上都掛滿了笑容。

On November 16, the Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery at Huizhong Temple invited Master Hu Dahua to Taichung to conduct an educational workshop promoting his nail art. I was, of course, delighted to support such a wonderful initiative. On one hand, it helps promote Master Hu’s nail art; on the other, it ensures the art form’s continuity. I assisted with some coordination, and when Master Hu learned that the event was charitable in nature, he told me he would not charge a fee and would only require materials to be covered.

After calculating, I found that the costs matched the budget for materials provided by Huizhong Temple. However, my less-than-thorough consideration led to Master Hu covering his own high-speed rail fare and his assistant’s fees, leaving me feeling deeply apologetic. Since this kind of workshop is rarely encountered elsewhere, participants were all eager and excited to learn. Naturally, Master Hu did not disappoint. His engaging teaching and personalized guidance brought smiles to everyone’s faces as they worked joyfully to the rhythmic sounds of nails being hammered.

The Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Member Exhibition by the Muguang artists Association at Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery

引文

The Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery Muguang Painting Association Member Exhibition has been a source of great pressure for me this time, as we had just concluded a large-scale joint exhibition at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and now we’re immediately organizing another one. The tight schedule has been quite overwhelming. For this opening ceremony, we invited artists from northern, central, and southern Taiwan. Although the southern artists couldn’t attend due to other commitments, we were still joined by esteemed artists such as Hu Dahua, Zhang Xiuqin, Ji Xiang, Yang Yannang, Huang Qiuyue, Zheng Fucheng, Chen Kuanyu, Zhang Qinzhong, and others. Additionally, Chairman Wu Qinghou of Pilo Art Gallery and his wife also attended. Since Teacher Sun Shaoying is elderly, she was represented by Ms. Kang, which made Muguang deeply honored. These 10 years of hard work are finally showing some reward. However, that’s not our ultimate goal. Our true hope is to bring together artists from the north, central, and southern regions to form a united force, one that can influence society’s aesthetic sensibilities and bring art into everyday life. By doing so, we hope to reduce the hostility in society and foster greater harmony in human relationships. We eagerly look forward to this…

這一次的佛光緣美術館沐光畫會會員聯展讓我倍感壓力原因是我們中正紀念堂大型聯覽剛結束馬上又舉辦了一個聯展時間上非常的壓迫。而這次開幕式我們邀請了北中南的畫家來參與,雖然恰巧南部的畫家因為有事,所以來的人不多。但這一次的畫家有胡達華老師、張秀琴老師、紀向老師、楊嚴囊老師、黃秋月老師、鄭福成老師、陳寬裕老師、張琹中老師、……等。還有蓽籮藝廊的吳慶厚董事長及夫人。孫少英老師由於年事已高,請康姐代表出席。還有遠從大陸來的藝術家林斌老師,讓沐光倍感榮幸 。這10年的辛苦付出終於有點代價。但是我們的目的不是在此。而是希望北中南的畫家能夠更加的團結進而形成一股力量影響社會的美學風氣,然後將藝術帶入生活。使社會暴戾之氣減少,人與人之間相處更融洽。期待…..

沐光成立小故事

引文

2O15年,沐光畫會成立於台中。

事情的源起,是有六七位喜歡畫圖的朋友相約,每週空出一天,一起去踏青,訪友,寫生,看展。這樣的聚會,漸漸吸引了更多磁場相近的人加入。

這是一個小而美的畫會,參加的成員都有一個簡單清晰的想法..因為喜歡,因為感動,所以提筆畫畫。

面對好山好水,人文古蹟,或室內的人體MODEL,每個人感受到的啟發和敬畏之情不盡相同,但是對於繪畫這件事情的堅持和虔誠,卻是一致不疑。

“沐光”二字非關宗教,“畫會”二字也沒有專業的髙調。近幾年,在許多指標性的美展之中,已經可以看到沐光的成員逐漸崢嶸秀出,然而,畫會仍然喜歡以新生自居,對抽象和具象的不同趣味,同樣著迷,充滿好奇,喜歡捲起袖子去嘗試。沒有身段,沒有包袱。初生的小犢有自己的信仰。

每個星期二,大家固定外出寫生,旁觀的路人甲乙丙,常常會提出相同的問題,“畫這個要做什麼?”動機當然可以有十個八個,最誠實的答案往往只有一個。

有一回,選在麗水漁港寫生,太陽曬得又毒又辣,畫著畫著,忽然風生水起,海水漲潮了,原本停在岸邊的船隻,毫不遲疑,一艘艘都趕著出海作業去了,剩下畫布上還未完成的輪廓。“大吃一驚!不過,這樣就有很好的理由再來畫一次。”創會會長呂和謙笑得很開心,“出門在外,永遠不能預料會發生什麼情況,遇到什麼貴人,無論陰晴圓缺都能大開眼界。”

藝術源自生活,勇敢和力量都來自內心。年青的沐光群組就是這樣懷抱初心,帶著信念起而行,不媚俗,也不絕俗,每個人以各自的方式,追隨心儀的老師,敞開胸襟,格局開闊,呈現藝術世界的不同面相。作品群旣豐富又多變,既奔放又內斂。

期待年齡層不同,生活經驗各異的觀眾朋友,都能在沐光每一次的展覽會上,發現和自己相似相應的感動。

In 2O15, Taiwan Mu Guang Artists Society was founded in Taichung.

There are six or seven friends who meet once a week to paint or visit exhibitions.  Gradually gather more people with the same interests to join. We are a group of people who have passion for painting arts and persistence to creat our own works.

In these years, members dedicate to explore varies distinct styles. Some won numberable prizes for art competitions. We believe and we will carry forward the passion for arts forever.
