木色青青 黃品玲個展
《木色青青 Breeze Through the Light》
文/ 黃品玲
自 2022 年秋季，一個契機促使我踏上了日本的駐村之旅，這段旅程逐漸轉變為往返於台灣與日本之間的旅居創作生活。這並非首次遠行——曾在法國巴黎求學五年，回到台灣後，熟悉的家鄉卻變得陌生，內心充滿格格不入與孤獨的感受。於是，再次思索遠行的可能性：既然無論身處何地都難以安居，那麼或許在全新的環境中，能重新探問創作與自身的關係。
初抵日本之時，讀到了夏目漱石的《草枕》，第一章開頭的文字恰如其分地映照了當時的心境，帶來一絲安慰：
「走在上路上，我在想。 過於理智會與人衝突。感情用事則無法空至自我。堅持己見易鑽牛角尖。總之人世難以安居。 難以安居到了某種程度，就想搬去容易居住的地方。醒悟無論搬去何處都不亦生存時，便產生了詩詞，出現了繪畫。⋯⋯ 從難以安居的人世，抽離無法安居的煩擾，在眼前摹寫美好世界的是詩詞，是繪畫。」
這段話彷彿道出了這次創作的核心——從遷徙的經驗中提煉創作的養分，以繪畫描繪那些在異地所感受到的微光與流動。
《木色青青 Breeze Through the Light》收錄了 2024 年夏季至秋季間於日本創作的作品，其中包括駐留熊本縣津奈木美術館（Tsunagi Art Museum）期間的創作。展名蘊含一種清爽的動態印象，彷彿陽光穿透微風輕拂的樹梢，閃爍著流動的光影。透過風與光線交織出的「心象風景」，嘗試以風景的形象承載記憶與感受，將異鄉創作的生命體悟凝聚於畫面之中。
長年遊走於不同文化與語境之間，創作始終在遷移的過程中尋找根基，試圖將所見、所感、所思的美感經驗收藏於畫布之上。在這些畫面裡，不僅記錄著季節的更迭，也映照出穿梭於不同土地之間、持續探索與自我對話的心境。
這場展覽《木色青青 Breeze Through the Light》關於遷徙、流動與感知。它不只是風景畫的呈現，而是透過光與風的描繪，捕捉創作於異鄉時的內在狀態與生命體悟。
展覽帶有一種輕盈而內斂的情感——並非強烈的衝突或激昂的情緒，而是透過細膩的筆觸，讓觀者進入一種靜謐、帶有流動感的空間。光線穿透樹葉、微風拂過景物，這些畫面不僅展現自然景色，也隱含著時間的推移、回憶的層疊，以及遷徙過程中對「家」與「安身之所」的思考。
這場展覽同時也帶有詩意的紀錄感。作品不只是單純地再現眼前風景，而是帶有「心象風景」的特質——透過風景映照內心狀態，把過去與現在、記憶與現實、台灣與日本的種種交織進畫面中。因此，這不僅是一場風景展，而更像是一場感受的提煉與詩意的視覺轉譯。
《木色青青》是一場充滿靜謐流動感的展覽，記錄了異地的創作時光，也讓觀者透過光與風的變化，感受到一種關於「存在」的溫柔思索。
Breeze Through the Light
By Huang Pin-Ling
Since the autumn of 2022, a certain opportunity led me to embark on an artist residency journey in Japan, gradually transitioning into a lifestyle of creating while traveling between Taiwan and Japan. This is not my first time venturing far—having studied in Paris for five years, I returned to Taiwan only to find my once-familiar homeland had become strangely distant, filling me with a sense of alienation and solitude. Thus, I reconsidered the possibility of another journey: if settling down is difficult no matter where I am, perhaps in a new environment, I could once again reflect on the relationship between my art and myself.
When I first arrived in Japan, I came across Natsume Soseki's Kusamakura. The opening lines of the book perfectly echoed my state of mind at the time, offering a sense of solace:
"As I climb the mountain path, I ponder—
If you work by reason, you grow rough-edged; if you choose to dip your oar into sentiment’s stream, it will sweep you away. Demanding your own way only serves to constrain you. However you look at it, the human world is not an easy place to live.
And when its difficulties intensify, you find yourself longing to leave that world and dwell in some easier one— and then, when you understand at last that difficulties will dog you wherever you may live, this is when poetry and art are born. … Yes, a poem, a painting, can draw the sting of troubles from a troubled world and lay in its place a blessed realm before our grateful eyes."
These words seemed to articulate my own choices—to extract creative nourishment from the experience of migration, to paint the fleeting light and movement felt in a foreign land.
Breeze Through the Light presents works created between the summer and autumn of 2024 in Japan, including pieces developed during my residency at the Tsunagi Art Museum in Kumamoto Prefecture. The exhibition title conveys a refreshing sense of movement, as if sunlight flickers through swaying treetops, casting ever-changing shadows. Through landscapes imbued with wind and light, I attempt to encapsulate memories and emotions, distilling the essence of creating in a foreign place into my paintings.
Having navigated different cultures and languages for years, my work continuously seeks its roots amid transitions, preserving aesthetic experiences drawn from observation, sensation, and contemplation on canvas. These paintings not only capture the changing seasons but also reflect a mindset of traversing different lands, engaging in ongoing exploration and self-dialogue.
Breeze Through the Light is an exhibition about movement, transition, and perception. More than a presentation of landscapes, it seeks to express an artist’s internal state and life reflections through depictions of wind and light.
This exhibition conveys a sense of subtle yet profound emotions—not dramatic conflicts or intense expressions, but a quiet, flowing space rendered through delicate brushstrokes. Light filters through leaves, wind caresses the landscape—these images not only depict nature but also embody the passage of time, layers of memory, and reflections on "home" and "belonging" through migration.
Furthermore, the exhibition carries a poetic sense of documentation. The works do not merely replicate visible scenery but rather reflect an inner landscape—where past and present, memory and reality, Taiwan and Japan intertwine. It is not just an exhibition of landscapes but a distilled experience, a visual translation of poetic sentiments.
Breeze Through the Light is an exhibition filled with quiet movement, recording of creation in a foreign land. The interplay of wind and light invites the viewer to experience a gentle contemplation on existence.
