"The Possibility of a New Relationship Between Text and Painting"

I want to attempt a work that explores a relationship between text and painting that differs from traditional literati art. My aim is to try and make textual writing and literature something that can be used and appreciated daily in life and art. Originally, in the literati tradition, poetry, calligraphy, and painting were integrated within one person. The current situation, due to changes in systems and the establishment and influence of Western cultural and educational systems, has separated them into different artistic fields such as literature, calligraphy, and painting, where they are withering. In the past, literati painting generally involved completing the painting first, followed by a calligraphic inscription. I, however, want to use an approach similar to sketching, allowing text and painting to mutually influence and respond to each other, conceiving, developing, adjusting, and completing the work together. If successful, I believe there will be some lyrical and improvisational works that can have a dialogue and connection with my own life and being.

〈一種文字與繪畫新關係的可能性〉

我想嘗試一種不是以前文人藝術的文字與繪畫關係的作品，目的是試圖讓文字書寫、文學在生活、藝術中，可以被日常使用與欣賞。原本在文人的傳統裡，詩、書、畫是統合在一個人裡面的，現況是由於制度的改變與西方文化教育體系的建立與影響，它們被分離在文學、書法、繪畫等不同的藝術領域裡凋零萎縮。過去文人畫一般是先完成繪畫，再以書法落款。我則是想以一種類似素描的態度，讓文字與繪畫互相影響、反應，一起構思、發展、調整、完成為作品。若是成功，我認為會有一些抒情、即興的作品，可以跟自己生活、生命有對話、有聯繫。
