尺寸:56x77x4(含框)

黃媽慶先生，1952年出生於彰化縣鹿港鎮。14歲起，即拜知名傳統木雕家王錦宣先生為師，步入寺廟祭拜用品及傳統神龕製作等木雕製作之路。出師之後，除持續擔任地方各類木雕工藝製作之外，另以鄉土風情與實際景物作為主題，開始發展自身的藝術創作方向。壯年時期，陸續於木雕藝術創作比賽中脫穎而出，因其優異成績，其後曾獲「得獎王」之美譽。
黃媽慶木雕創作之主要理念為「師法自然，把握當下」，亦即將對自然之體悟、理念融入日常生活之中，藉以營造樸質、親民及祥和寧靜之個人藝術風格。多年來，其創作方向走向關懷臺灣土地與生態保育等議題，企圖藉由木雕藝術探討當下環境所面臨的問題。本作運用木料原有的紋路肌理，巧妙營造溪水的流動感，使原本堅硬的木頭展現柔軟的水紋；另將悠遊自在的魚群置入構圖之中，展現紮實的寫實功力及活潑生趣，營造出深具生命力的木雕藝術，亦表現生態環境的珍貴價值。
黃媽慶的木雕作品，反映人與大自然和諧共處的重要性。不論是瓜果、荷花、海洋、自然、傳承或保育生態系列作品，除精確掌握其外貌特徵、體積造型或情境氣氛外，更成功傳遞他對自然萬物的細心觀察與內心悸動，跳脫傳統工匠專重模仿、不事創造之侷限，營造出深具個人風格之藝術作品。（501字）

Huang Ma-Ching was born in 1952 in Lugang Township, Changhua County. At 14, he began to study under Wang Chin-Hsuan, a well-known traditional woodcarver, and began to make wood carvings for temples and traditional shrines. After graduating from his study, Huang continued to work on various local wood carvings and developed his artistic style by adopting local scenery and realistic scenes as his themes. He stood out in wood carving competitions during his prime years and was later awarded the "King of Winners" for his outstanding achievements.
The main vision behind Huang Ma-Ching's wood carving is to "learn from nature and live the present moment.” In other words, his works aim to integrate the understanding of nature into daily life. As a result, it is no coincidence that his art style is simple, peaceful, and down to earth. Over the years, his arts have focused on Taiwan's land use and ecological conservation issues. Huang aims to explore the local environmental problems through wood carving art.
This work uses the original grain texture of the wood to create a sense of flowing water, making the initial hardwood appear soft and fluid. The freely swimming fish are also incorporated into the art's composition. Not only do the fishes exemplifies Huang's solid wood carving skills, but also contribute to the liveliness of the artwork and express nature's precious values.
Huang's wood carvings reflect the importance of harmony between people and nature. Whether his artwork is a series of melon, lotus, ocean, nature, or other subjects concerning cultural heritage and ecological conservation, Huang has not only recreated the subjects' external characteristics, volume, shape, and mood, but also conveyed his careful observation and inner stirring of nature. Breaking away from the traditional artisan's focus on imitation without creativity, Huang devotes himself to creating art with a strong personal style and care.
