Confusing
Times as a Youth





It was a dream come
true for those studying art at the time to be educated at the Department of
Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University. However, going to school there
was also the beginning of great disappointment since the curriculum and the
faculty was conservative and narrow-sighted. I stopped holding any hopes in the
second semester in my freshman year. I realized that if I was not able to learn
under this environment, I needed to educate myself, to face my own problems, to
pursue the truth, and to find my own way out. During this period, my works
mostly consisted of paintings which showed my sentiments or expressed my
emotions.

徬徨少年時

能到師大美術系讀書,幾乎是我們這一個年代學藝術的人所夢想的環境,但是進入那裡也是失望的開始,課程結構、內容、師資故步自封,我在大一下學期的時候,就對他們不再抱有希望。我覺悟到如果環境不能給我學習的條件,我必須自己教育自己,面對自己的問題,追求真理,找到自己的路。這個時期的作品多數以繪畫為主,抒情而日記式的作品。
