 作者心聲 (1)﹕ 佛教讓我們明白宇宙人生的事實真相﹐是一個至善圓滿的教育。 末學常念著結合佛教﹑油畫﹑書法三方面﹐使之成為新的油畫藝術。 因為不是美術科班出身﹐末學不冀望在世俗方面的成就﹐而只懷著一棵心﹐如邱師姐說的那樣﹐“我能為佛教作什麼﹖”﹐同時把書畫也當作一種自己修定的法門。 心德法師蒐集了歷代佛教藝術辦展覽﹐法師對末學的作品評價這些畫是屬於未來的。 這條路很長﹐但它是我的修習法門﹐更是我的志向。 請多指教。 阿彌陀佛 作者心聲 (2)﹕ 祖先數千年前發明的象形文字﹐是世界上最美﹐最富有變化的文字。通過與色彩豐富的油畫相結合﹐便形成一種新的繪畫藝術。 末學在2009年9月間﹐參加在奧克蘭舉行的“關心與愛心”藝術比賽中﹐榮獲藝術比賽一等獎的作品﹐是寫在五線譜上的“阿彌陀佛”四個字。這幾個字看起來既像是書法﹐也像是繪畫﹐五位評委一致通過這幅畫為一等獎。 獲得一等獎也證明了這種新形的宏揚佛教藝術﹐得到人們的欣賞和肯定﹐更加鼓勵我多畫一些﹐一來是宏揚佛教﹐二來是把中華書法藝術發揚光大。用新的藝術來宣傳佛教﹐把釋迦牟尼佛對宇宙人生的正知正見﹐傳揚給更多的人。 | Author's words (1): Buddha's teaching makes us realize the genuine fact and truth of the universe and our life. There is an intention in my mind about integrating Buddha's teacching, oil painting and calligraphy into a new form of oil painting art. Due to the fact that I am not a graduate of formal art school, I don't expect any success of mundane form. All I have embraced is a faith, as Dharma sister Chiu said "what can I do for Buddhism?", in the mean time, I undertake calligraphy painting as my own way of meditation practice. Venerable Xinde collected Buddhist art works of various era in the past and exhibit them. he commented my works as of a style belonging to the future. My journey ahead is long, however, it is my way of spiritual practice, and most of all, my aspiration. Look forward to your comments. Amituofo Author's words (2): The pictograph letters which our ancestors invented is the most beautiful and most variable script in the world. Through integrating with the color-abundance nature of oil painting, it is then developing into a new style of painting art. In September 2009, I took part in the "caring & loving" art competition held in Auckland and won the first prize. The work that won me this prize was the four Chinese characters of "Amituofo" written over a musical stave. These characters look like calligraphy and resemble a painting as well. All the five judges unanimously ruled this work first prize. Winning first prize proves to me that spreading Buddhism by means of a new style of art has been appreciated and assured. It encourages me to paint more for the purpose of preaching Buddhism in one hand, and promoting the Chinese calligraphy art in another. I am willing to devote in spreading Buddha's teachings by means of the new art; in passing Shakyamuni Buddha's true perception of the universe and life onto more human beings. |
