舉婚於村莊之上  ▏Wedding Above the Village    ▏陳錦芳  ▏版畫  ▏125 × 99 cm (含框，價格電洽)

作品賞析

 來自『夏嘉的天空和梵谷的風景』之紅綠互補色的並列刺激而怡悅眼睛。當梵谷畫『繁星之夜』時，他孤獨而不幸，愛情得不到回報，而他卻異常渴望有位太太成個家。夏嘉那璀璨華麗的『萬歌之歌』圖像呈現了愛情，彼此的祝福和永續之快樂的宿願得償。雖然無法實際上讓梵谷得到上述幸福的片斷，但透過這件融彙的作品和夏嘉超凡的美意，陳寄贈了心淵底處的祝福。在時間之外的時間，空間之外的空間裡，梵谷可以享受到愛與和平。

The juxtaposition of complementary colors “the Chagall sky with the van Gogh landscape” excites the eye. When van Gogh painted Starry Night, he was lonely and unhappy, a victim of unrequited love who, more than anything,wished for a wife and family.Chagall’s exuberant Song of Songs images present a wish fulfillment: love, mutual bless, and evelasting joy. Although it was impossible on the physical plane to grant van Gogh a portion of happiness, through the merging of his work wih the transcendent sweetness of Chagall’s, Chen bestows a subconscious blessing. In a time out of time, and a place out of place, van Gogh can enjoy love and peace.


愛超越對立  ▏Love Above Confrontation  ▏陳錦芳  ▏版畫  ▏125 × 99 cm (含框，價格電洽)

作品賞析
 
在藝術傳統裡經過四世紀價值觀的改變，使提香的『鏡邊的維娜斯』和畢加索的『坐著的女人』劍拔弩張。當代的觀眾能夠同時在兩位美女身上看出美，但在她們的世界裡，兩位在爭論其表現風格的權威性。固執於對立的死結，她們兩位不了解另一世界的存在，而相異乃能相得益彰的道理。在敞開的窗戶上，遠離喧囂，浮游著夏嘉民俗風的情人。他們似乎在倡導『愛超越對立』並享受唯有愛情才能提供的自由。

A span of four centuries of changing values in artistic tradition electrifies the air between Titian’s “Venus with a Mirror” and Picasso’s “Seated Woman.” The contemporary viewer can see the beauty in both icons, but within their worlds, each woman argues for the authenticity of the stylistic expression of her image. Locked in a moment of confrontation, the two do not comprehend that another world exists that values and cherishes both for their differences, not in spite of them. Through an open window, Chagall’s folkloric pair of lovers float high above the fray. They seem to advocate “love above confrontation,” and are enjoying the freedom that only love can offer. 


畫鳶尾花  ▏Painting Irises  ▏  陳錦芳  ▏版畫  ▏125 × 99 cm (含框，價格電洽)

作品賞析
 
維梅爾筆下的這位畫家，依其周圍環境來判斷，應該是梵谷無疑。以『萬紫千紅的花園』為背景，乃是將這景象置於阿爾魯。這位藝術家同時被地面上和畫布上的鳶尾花所包圍，而產生引人入勝的深度及距離感。顯然地，他還沒畫完這幅畫，而他的隱名埋姓意味了重要的是創作而不是作者是誰。引申之，這位最偉大的藝術家，那創造了整個宇宙的大智大能，是我們的眼睛所看不到的。

In the late 1980s, the van Gogh painting “Irises” was purchased at auction for the astronomical, record-breaking sum of $80 million. This was a historical event in the art market. Yet how could this come to pass?As Dr. Chen’s image reveals, the painting is unfinished! Van Gogh, dressed as an artist from Holland, is seated in a sunny Arles garden, still adding dazzling, pure strokes of color to the canvas. We do not see his face, hinting perhaps that the nature of the artist is less significant than the nature of the art.Indeed, the greatest artist of all is obscured from human vision, but with a divine hand, continues to add strokes of color to the canvas known as Earth.

作品賞析
 
在塞尚的靜物與高更的大溪地作品間，安格爾的『墨夫人』沈靜而神采奕奕地站立其中。她的幸福來自她自己的畫像被掛在美術館裡取悅觀眾，同時她擁有兩幅後期 印象派的傑作，如本畫所示。以時間的先後來說， 這是不可能的事情。因為那兩幅傑作是在她逝死後約半世紀才產生的。可是想像本身就可以沖破時空的限制。這種詭譎而有趣的安排以一種遊戲人間的手法反觀歷史 並顯示了『後現代』藝術天地的無限可能性。

Between Cezanne’s still life and Gauguin’s Tahitian painting, Ingres’ “Mme. Moitessier” stands confident and serene. Her source of happiness is twofold: her portrait hangs in a museum, enchanting thousands; and she owns, within this frame of reference, two postimpressionist masterpieces. In linear time, this would be impossible, since both works were produced almost half a century after her death.But the imagination does not recognize the boundaries of time and space. This intriguing arrangement playfully revises history and demonstrates the depth of possibility in the postmodernist art world.
