I didn't know what it means, when my teacher told me, "An artist needs to have a clear context of its work, to be a recognized artist." To me, a real artist can make anything they like, as long as it's from the bottom of their heart, and with a fine thought, or skill.
當我的老師告訴我「一個藝術家需要有一個清晰的作品脈絡才能成為一個被認可的藝術家」時,我不知道這意味著什麼。對我來說,一個真正的藝術家可以創作任何他們喜歡的東西,只要是發自內心的,並且有良好的思想或技巧。
Later, after I studied a bit how the art market works, I think this is an idea promoted by art marketing. If an artist doesn't have a theme, they don't know what to sell and whom to sell to.
後來我研究了一下藝術市場是如何運作的,我覺得這是藝術行銷所提倡的理念。如果藝術家沒有主題,他們就不知道要賣什麼、賣給誰。
However, almost at the end of this year, I reviewed my "Aye Newcastle" photos, the new mountain series, and my Ukrainian painting series, also a lot of old works. I realised that I do have a context, but it wasn't clear until nowadays---I am interested in "archive the loosing/lost thing", this is also somehow related to my grown up stories.
不過,就在今年年底,我回顧了我的《Aye Newcastle》照片,新的山系列,還有我的烏克蘭繪畫系列,還有很多舊作品。我意識到我確實有一個創作脈絡,但直到現在才清楚——我對「保存正在遺失的或已遺失的事物」感興趣,另一方面,這也與我的成長故事有關。
I am glad to find my context by the end of this year. I am glad to know, if this is the core idea you've always thought of. No matter what sub idea you work with, it will always be there.
我很高興在今年年底找到了自己的背景。我很高興知道,如果這是我一直想到的核心理念。無論我使用什麼子題創作,它都會永遠存在。
