油畫 Oil painting

尺寸不明
作品收錄於油畫文集《愛蓮說》
《一生榮華水漂浮》是畫家以超寫實主義的筆觸描繪成熟的蓮蓬。
畫家關注細節,從畫面中的水漬,河水流動就可以看得出畫家的用心,令觀眾彷如看到一張照片一般。
畫面的佈局和取材亦非常用心,畫面中畫了焦黑的蓮蓬和枯萎的荷葉,與尚還翠如新碧蓮蓬形成明顯對比。展示了荷花生命與死亡。
畫家以荷為闡釋人生領悟,感嘆荷花凋謝,反思生命的無常。
In A Floating Life of Worldly Glory, the artist depicted a sprouting lotus seedpod in a super-realist style.
The picture is meticulously rendered with great detail, for instance, in the depiction of the water drop and the fluid quality of the river stream. The picture is so lifelike that viewers might confuse it with a photograph.
A profound message is connotated in the use of composition and selection of subject matter. The depiction of the withered lotus seed-pod in burnt black in the bottom left corner and the dried-up lotus leaves in the top right corner form a stark contrast with the sprouting lotus, fresh and green, at the centre of the picture. As such, the artwork illustrates the life and death of lotus on the same plane.
The life cycle of lotus sheds light on the nature of human life. Through lamenting the withering of the lotus, the artist engages viewers in contemplating the transience of life.
