“Boundary displacement of painting” as the main title of this thesis, would be studying the author’s artworks from 2019-2022, analyzes and integrates their creative context. Most of the author’s works focus on these contexts: “painting itself”, “ the mechanism of seeing”, “color and space”. Discuss how paintings are regarded as a limited range through painting, images and space installation. Interpret the essence of painting through abstract geometric shapes, return to the core, paying attention to the process of seeing and the present moment of our personal experience.
The works are not showing the “representation”, but return to painting itself, brings the referent of outside world back to the subject. Accentuate the importance of subject through the spectators’ movement, including their body and sight. The sensory experience brought by the “wholeness” allows us to focus on “now” and “here”. Through the “ painting installation” , our bodies exposed, and it also provides us an opportunity to observe. The time spectators spent walking in the exhibition space, creates a “co-existance” between the work and them. It releases their body and creates an open reading space.
The word "boundary" in this thesis has three aspects: 1. Visual boundary: from the point of view and perspective of the human eye, to study the relationship between vision and painting. 2. Physical boundary: refers to the boundary of the painting space, which gradually expands from the inside of the image to the outside of the frame. 3. Conceptual boundary: With reference to the old habits, discuss about how speculative logic allows us to break through the limitations of self-cognition. "Displacement" refers to the direction and distance of movement from the old position to the new one, which is a metaphor for the process of painting, moving from a classical framework to new meanings. The author observes the contours of things in life, studies painting and the way of seeing led by painting through visual, physical and conceptual displacement deviations.
This thesis organized the author's personal creation, experience and research of the reference of art history. Through sorting out and rumination, through systematic creation methods. The author also re-examines how she faces and perceives art, so as to guide the direction in the future and clarify her individual artistic view.
