*不掩飾的創作痕跡,透出內在思緒*
在本次朱曼禎的個展「游移的方式」中,相較於過去的創作,新作以更直接、坦率的手法呈顯鉛筆的筆觸、畫面留白的面積,以及塗改與修正的軌跡。藝術家透過這些痕跡的轉變,重新審視自己的創作動機在繪畫的過程中,究竟哪些部分帶來了純粹的自我滿足,而哪些部分隱含著渴望被他人關注與認同的情緒。
畫面上留下的痕跡,不僅是視覺上的層次,更如實地揭示了藝術家在創作當下的判斷與選擇過程、操作媒材時的專注享受,以及悄悄分享內心波瀾的私密過程。
*離校後的真實敘事:找尋生活與創作的最佳平衡*
朱曼禎表示,這次的繪畫內容相較於以往,更加貼近真實生活而非虛構的幻想敘事。這項轉變源於她近期的人生階段轉換,從美術學院畢業、搬回家中獨立創作,並同時開始踏入職場。生活場域與角色的轉變,促使她更加敏銳地關注自己在此時期內心理與生理上的起伏變化。
「這是故事的轉折,也是我在找尋生活與創作之中的,游移的方式。」藝術家如是說。透過誠實地記錄這些「游移」,展覽邀請觀眾一同走進她的視覺日誌,感受那份在現實與創作、私密與公開、確定與不確定之間張力十足的靜謐對話。
*Unconcealed Marks of the Process: Pencil Traces That Reveal Inner Thought*
In this exhibition, compared to her past work, ZHU's new pieces present pencil strokes, areas of blank space, and traces of alteration and correction in a more direct and candid manner. Through the transformation of these traces, the artist re-examines her own creative motivations during the painting process — which parts brought pure self-satisfaction, and which parts concealed a desire for attention and recognition from others.
The traces left on the canvas are not merely visual layers; they honestly reveal the artist's process of judgment and choice at the moment of creation, the focused enjoyment of handling materials, and the quiet, private process of sharing her inner turbulence.
*A True Narrative After Leaving School: Seeking the Best Balance Between Life and Creation*
ZHU Men-Zhen notes that, compared to her earlier work, the content of this series is closer to real life rather than fictional, imagined narratives. This shift stems from a recent transition in her life stage — graduating from art school, moving back home to work independently, and simultaneously entering the workforce. These changes in living environment and role have made her more acutely attentive to the psychological and physical fluctuations she has experienced during this period.
"This is a turning point in the story, and also the way I waver between life and creation," the artist says. By honestly documenting these moments of "wavering," the exhibition invites viewers to step into her visual diary, experiencing the quietly charged dialogue between reality and creation, the private and the public, certainty and uncertainty.
