來源 台北敦煌藝術中心 現亞洲重要私人藏家直接購自上述來源 附:台北敦煌藝術中心開立之藝術家親簽作品證書 雄渾勁拔,氣魄軒昂 朱銘90年代太極的藝術昇華 「太極系列,可照見朱銘創造入渾沌而整一的雄渾意境。他刀嚙大形,斧切大塊,從容把握,輕鬆勾勒,在生動的影像之中,透溢出來自華夏文化靈山道海深處的元氣。」 ——中國美術館館長范迪安 1990年代,朱銘憑藉雄渾的太極系列在國際舞台上獲廣大的迴響和共鳴,被稱為「世界美學之巨擘」。在此10年間,他不僅先後在香港藝術中心、倫敦約克夏雕塑公園、台北市立美術館、箱根雕刻之森美術館、巴黎凡登廣場舉辦大規模的重要展事,開辦落成個人美術館,更以爆發式的創作能量和精益求精的藝術思考,將其太極系列雕塑帶至90年代的藝術高峰。正如英國藝術史學者蘇立文(Michael Sullivan)所言:「朱銘的雕塑超越了工藝品的地位,超越學院和沙龍,進入他自己打造出的一個新世界,結合了古典與流行、不朽與人性、傳統與現代、東方與西方。是非常中國又很容易為當代藝術之國際社群所接受。」自東方,他丟棄工藝雕刻的精細技巧,淬煉出凝練傳神的刀斧之力,傳遞「剛柔並濟」的太極精神與「天人合一」的東方哲思;向西方,他發展著多元的造型表達,與現代抽象雕塑與立體主義合流,賦予傳統文化以新生的美學力量,創造太極精神的大相。 而此90年代的藝術昇華和多元思考,正完美體現於是次上拍的二件重要之作中:1991年的《太極系列——十字手》(拍品編號78)以最為凝練的十字造型展現最為宏闊的力量,一展器宇軒昂的雄渾意境,為太極系列的至臻經典;而完成於1996年的《太極系列——抱虎歸山》(拍品編號77)勁拔凝神,造型層次豐碩,生動闡述「融萬象於一身」的藝術格局,鶴立特出於其畢生太極系列之中。兩件作品昭顯了朱銘90年代在單招太極主題不同方向的精進成果,堪為收藏之粹。 大道至簡,胸懷天下的泰斗氣魄: 太極系列:十字手 在太極武學中,十字手可謂一切變化招式的基石。穩重的十字結構看似簡潔,卻正是以防為攻、循次而進、蓄勢而發的關鍵。以十字為核心,雙手可分可合,雙腿可踢可蹲,虛實相接,變化豐富,《太極拳體用全訣》形容「十字手法變無窮,擰裡鑽翻開合奇」,說的便是由十字手所蘊含和延伸出的無窮變動。常年修習太極拳的朱銘,將十字手列為其太極系列中著重展現的主題,如在其80至90年代在紐約漢查森藝廊、香港交易廣場、國立台灣美術館的大型個展中曾多次展出。十字手造型簡潔、體積感強,如泰斗般頂天立地的姿態,亦飽含吞吐洪荒、大開大合的寬廣胸襟,為朱銘展現太極雕塑磅礡氣象的重要之作。是次上拍的《太極系列——十字手》正充分展現朱銘雕塑美學的形製張力。 頂天立地,剛柔並濟 作品宛如呈現一雄健沉穩的泰斗,頭部昂揚,身手魄力十足。其通體圓柔光滑,造型簡練流暢,具有溫潤自然的韻味,當中的刀斧刻痕筆直清晰,線與線之間利落相交,呈現幾何抽象的立體感,生動展現太極剛柔並濟的美學理念。武者以穩重的十字結構打開,其雙手敞開,雙腿直立,看似一個方正的十字形,細節處卻存有變化。右手平直舉起,至手掌處形成一弧形凹面,左手微微彎垂,預作擋格狀,隱含著變動之力。而人物左腿筆直穩健,右膝微曲備起,足部位置則以凸起的三角塊狀,注入了一種潛在的氣勢,沛然而莫之能禦。 作品以一種攝人心魄的雄渾姿態,巍然聳立於天地之間,完美詮釋了太極對身體能量的積蓄和流動。深切的線條和厚實的塊面,如碑石般展現沉著肅靜的大氣之美,十字外觀的流暢與凝練,則湧現中正安舒、生生不息的浩瀚力量,令觀者深切感知著天人合一的境地。剛與柔、動與靜的太極思想高妙地蘊含其中,力量收斂於沉靜的外表之下,在恬淡中吐納真氣,以張開的雙臂展現胸懷天下的魄力,予人極大的想象和共鳴,足可震撼人心。 氣貫如虹,多元一體的美學薈萃: 太極系列:抱虎歸山 而朱銘除深入探索十字手等單招太極的凝練之勢外,亦同步在太極拳的眾多變化招式中,找尋最具特色的獨到美學展現。含納了拗步、摟膝、內抱、前推的「抱虎歸山」一式,則成為了其「太極系列」中十分特出亦罕見的表達。正如太極拳訣云:「抽身閃展斜摟推,抱虎引進捋擠按;推按全憑腰腿攻,一腕輕轉敵膽寒」,此招式進退有度,按勢連成,前有手推攬抱、招招制敵,後有腰腿發力、跨步出擊,武者需同樣重視腿部的穩和手抱的準。而朱銘極為精妙地將此招式的複雜性、全面性皆囊括在了此件《太極系列——抱虎歸山》中。 千面千姿,多元並立 在不同的觀賞視角下,此作呈現千面千姿的多重太極體態。如由正面觀之,人物腿部似完全並於一細長的直線之上,通過腰部的扭轉,氣力經由上半身而帶向交錯的雙手,並順勢自然推出,從中迸發強大的能量,身姿勁健而柔韌。而若以兩側為觀賞點,則可見主角腿部以極大面積的壯闊斜面,展現下盤蓄勢、牢牢扎根的穩重形象,雙手則幾乎在同一水平面上向外推出,體態雄渾而氣勢撼人。而若由背部觀之,則見人物後腿連帶背部繃緊為一道鋒利的直線,如利刃般盡現鋒芒所向,身軀向兩側鋪展,雙手狀若展翅,稜角分明!作品如有立體派雕塑家杜尚(Raymond Duchamp-Villon)對其作《馬》似躬身似跳躍的多維呈現,朱銘除以不同的幾何狀呈現外,更將姿態的勁健與速度灌注在流暢而銳利的削刻之中,由此帶出強烈的動勢和張力。一如畫家王無邪所言:「中國的雕刻對『體』的處理一向感覺不強。但朱銘在這方面是極特殊的例外,他的明顯的『體』的感覺,大大超過其他以『線』來處理雕刻的雕刻家們」。而朱銘由線至面,以簡約卻深邃渾厚的斧鑿線條,勾勒太極武者的運動形態,創造出引人入勝的韻律變化。合而觀之,作品以「勢」為核,以「勁」推力,起於地,穩於腿,發於腰,形於臂,面面俱到,節節貫穿,一氣呵成,正展現著朱銘90年代結合東西藝術語言的獨特再創,極為精彩!

PROVENANCE Caves Art Center, Taipei Acquired directly by present private important Asian collector from the above This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist issued by Caves Art Center, Taipei Majestic, Imposing and Dignified The Artistic Sublimation of Ju Ming’s 1990s Taichi Series In the 1990s, Ju Ming received an incredibly positive response from the international art world to his majestic Taichi series of sculptures and held important exhibitions around the world, including at the Hong Kong Arts Center, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, The Hakone Open-Air Museum and Park Hyatt Paris-Vend?me. Ju also established an eponymous museum, where the artist’s explosive creative energy and desire to improve further elevated his Taichi series to a new artistic plane. From an Eastern perspective, Ju rejected the exquisite technique of artistic carving in favor of honing the sculpting skills needed to produce works that were simple and striking, while also conveying the spirit of Taichi, which combines “hardness and softness” and eastern philosophy focused on the “harmony of man and nature.” Learning from the West, he developed a wide range of stylistic expression, combining modern abstract sculpture and Cubism in ways that imbued traditional culture with new aesthetic power. Ju Ming’s artistic sublimation and thinking reached its apogee in the two important works being auctioned; Taichi Series – Preparation for Underarm Strike ( Lot 78) and Taichi Series – Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain (Lot 77). The Way of Simplicity, a Heart Embracing the Whole World: Taichi Series – Preparation for Underarm Strike In the study of Taichi Martial Arts “Preparation for Underarm Strike” is generally considered the foundation of all moves. With the Chinese character for 10 (十) as its core, the hands of the practitioner can be together or separate and the legs can kick or squat, thereby making possible a rich array of changes. Ju Ming, who has practiced Taichi for many years, designated “Preparation for Underarm Strike” a focal theme showcased in the Taichi series and it was shown at several of his major solo exhibitions from the 1980s to the 1990s, including at the Max Hutchinson Gallery in New York, Exchange Square in Hong Kong and National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. In terms of shape the Taichi Series - Preparation for Underarm Strike is simple, while the body of the figure appears instantly strong and powerful. The work also expresses an indomitable breadth of mind, making it an important piece through which the artist highlighted the boundless majesty of his Taichi sculptures. Indomitable, Hard and Soft The work is rounded and smooth, with the carved lines arrow-straight and clear, showcasing a three-dimensional sense of geometric abstraction that is a vivid testament to the aesthetic philosophy of strength and softness in Taichi. The martial artist starts in the position of the Chinese character for 10, his right arm stretched out flat and elevated, the palm forming a curved concave shape. The left hand dips downwards slightly as if blocking an attack, a pose containing within it the potential for forceful change. The figure’s left leg is straight and solid, while the right knee is slightly bent in preparation, the position of the foot forming a protruding triangular block which infuses the piece with kinetic potential. The work has a breathtaking majestic posture that perfectly interprets the way in which Taichi boosts the accumulation and flow of the body’s energy. The deep cut lines and thick solid blocks express the beauty of solemn silence like a stone stele, while the smooth flow and compact nature of the cross-like exterior speak to the vast power of centered serenity, allowing viewers to feel deep inside the unity of man and nature. A Magnificent, Multifarious Aesthetic Collection: Taichi Series – Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain In addition to exploring individual Taichi moves, Ju Ming also searched for the most distinctive moves. To that end, Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain became one of the most eye-catching and rare expressive forms in the artist’s Taichi series. This piece represents a series of moves combined, with the hand pushing and embracing at the front to stop an enemy, while at the back the waist and legs generate power as the figure leaps forward to attack. A martial artist must attach equal importance to the stability of the legs and the precision with which an opponent is addressed. Ju Ming exquisitely presents the complexity and completeness of this move in Taichi Series – Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain. Variegated, Diverse and Independent Viewed from divergent angles, the body of the work appears different and varied. For example, from the front the figure’s feet are together in a straight line, adopting a posture that is strong but flexible. However, seen from either side the focus is on the magnificently angular leg and its huge surface area. This highlights the lower part of the work as rock solid, with a body that is majestic and imposing. Viewed from the back, the rear leg and back tighten into a sharp line, like a blade highlighting the direction of the tip. The body spreads out on either side of the piece, its two arms like outstretched wings, with clear edges and corners. This work is similar to the multidimensional presentation in The Horse by Cubist sculpture Raymond Duchamp-Villonis, which was such that it could be stooping or jumping depending from where viewers looked. In this piece, Ju Ming uses different geometric shapes, but also infuses the power and speed of the posture into the smooth flowing and sharp cuts, which creates a powerful sense of momentum and tension. Seen as a whole, the core of the work is “posture,” with “strength” the thrust, as it rises from the ground with stability in the legs, generating power in the waist and form in the arms, each element carefully thought out and occurring in tandem. In this way, the work perfectly showcases the unique re-creation and amazing achievements of Ju Ming in the 1990s in combining the artistic language of East and West.
