尺寸:125×63 (215×80)

蘇峰男（1943-），淡水人，著名水墨畫家。1965年畢業於國立台灣藝專，1995年獲得舊金山藝術大學美術碩士，曾獲中山文藝創作獎。蘇峰男生於農家，幼時即孕育出對自然植物的喜愛。求學期間，獲江兆申、胡克敏、傅狷夫、王壯為等多位名師指導，養成嚴謹的態度及精深的山水、花卉技巧。蘇峰男榮獲多次全省美展第一名，曾應邀至日本、歐洲等地展覽，作品獲國立歷史博物館、捷克國家博物館等多所機構典藏。此外，他也投身於教學，曾擔任台灣藝術大學造型藝術研究所所長。
蘇峰男筆墨技巧精湛，被譽為本土新生第一代水墨代表人物之一，他的作品除有宋元山水的嚴謹結構外，也能看到明清的簡約風格。蘇氏不僅精於水墨，在媒材方面也大膽使用「單版畫」拓印的方式，實驗暈染氣氛的效果。另外，他也將筆墨技巧實驗在彩瓷創作之上。
此作帶領觀者從俯視的角度遊歷日月潭畔的慈恩塔。畫面大致可分為前、中、後景三個區塊：前景為左方松樹與隔著水景的第一座山石，松樹以重墨勾繪，渲染淡色花青與赭石；中景除了慈恩塔以細緻墨線描繪之外，鄰近的林木以墨葉濃淡表現輕重，凸顯其空間感；遠景的墨色更輕，並留有雲氣，表現後景高聳山勢。整體畫面營造出別有洞天的自然環境，讓觀者得在制高點上一覽眾景無遺。（503字）

Su Feng-Nan (1943-), a native of Tamsui, is a renowned ink painter. He graduated from the National Taiwan College of Arts in 1965 and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the San Francisco Art University in 1995. He is a recipient of the Zhongshan Literary and Artistic Creation Award. Born into a peasant family, Su developed a love for natural plants at an early age. During his studies, he was guided by many famous teachers, including Chiang Chao-Shen, Hu Ke-Min, Fu Jue-Fu and Wang Zhuang-Wei, cultivating a rigorous attitude and profound skills in landscape and flower painting. Su has won first prize in the provincial art exhibition several times and has been invited to exhibit his works in Japan and Europe. His works are collected by institutions such as the National History Museum and the National Czech Museum. In addition to his artistic career, Su has also devoted himself to education, serving as the director of the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts at Taiwan University of Arts.

Su's ink painting technique is exquisite, and he is hailed as one of the first generation of local new ink painters. His works not only have the rigorous structure of Song and Yuan landscape painting, but also reflect the simplicity of the Ming and Qing styles. Su is not only skilled in ink painting, but also boldly uses the "single-plate painting" rubbing method to experiment with the effect of atmospheric smearing. In addition, he also experiments with his ink painting techniques in the creation of colored porcelain.

This work takes the viewer on a bird's eye view tour of the Ci'en Pagoda by the Sun Moon Lake. The painting can be roughly divided into three sections: foreground, middle ground, and background. In the foreground, a pine tree and the first mountain rock across the water are drawn with heavy ink and rendered in light blue-green and ochre. Besides the delicately inked Ci'en Pagoda in the middle ground, the nearby trees are rendered in different shades of ink to emphasize their spatial sense. The ink in the distant background is lighter, leaving room for clouds that represent the towering mountains. The overall picture creates a unique natural environment, allowing the viewer to overlook the entire scene from a high point.
