黎蘭

尺寸:98x124x6.2(含框)

黎蘭，苗栗縣頭份人，畢業於國立台灣師範大學藝術系，專攻水墨。曾在多所學校任職後赴日本繼續深造，任李石樵美術館副館長。長年來積極投入創作及美術史研究，成果頗豐，曾出版《黎蘭詩畫集》、《大地之頌畫集》、《心靈與自然的對話集》、《李澤潘的水彩畫世界》、《一代宗師－李石樵》、《牧谿繪畫研究》等書。
出生於鄉村的黎蘭，自小親近大自然，故而養成對描寫自然之美之喜好，曾周遊世界各地尋找靈感，藉以創造風格獨特的風景圖像。基於上述獨特經驗，黎蘭漸從淡雅文氣的水墨，轉向意象鮮明的油彩，致力於發揮現代藝術家個人的特性。對她而言，眼睛所見與身心所感同等重要，美景必須融入自己的思想表達始能成畫，故而特別重視景象意境、精神的塑造。
本作描繪長年白雪皚皚的玉山群峰，以及遍地盛開、香氣四溢的花朵及野趣盎然的高山植物，以略帶Z型的動態構圖，有趣地將視線由近轉遠，形成作者心目中的美景典範。高彩度與明度的大膽手法，營造了赤道夏日應有的溫度及亮度，致使生機勃勃之自然界完美地再現於畫布之上！即便是雄偉壯闊的風景，卻洋溢著祥和、寧靜及幸福之感，藉由溫柔、輕快及愉悅的筆觸及色彩，成功地將個人的風景體驗傳達給觀眾，並使其得到視覺及嗅覺的共鳴。(503字)

Li Lan was born in Miaoli County's Toufen, and graduated from the Department of Art at National Taiwan Normal University, specializing in ink painting. After working at several schools, she pursued further study in Japan and served as deputy director of the Li Shih-chiao Art Museum. Over the many years she has been actively engaged in creative work and art history research, producing substantial results. Her published works include "Li Lan: A Collection of Poetry and Paintings," "In Praise of the Earth," "Dialogues between Spirit and Nature," "The Watercolor World of Li Tsu-pan," "A Master of His Generation: Li Shih-chiao," and "Research on the Paintings of Mu-chi."

Growing up in the countryside, from an early Li developed a love of depicting natural beauty; she has traveled widely in search of inspiration, creating distinctive landscape imagery in a personal style. Drawing on these unique experiences, Li gradually shifted from the understated literary quality of ink painting toward vividly expressive oil painting, committed to bringing forth the distinctiveness of the modern artist's individual voice. For her, what the eyes see and what the body and mind experience are of equal importance: scenery must be absorbed into one's own thinking and expression before it can become a painting, and for this reason she places particular importance on the mood and spiritual quality of a scene.

This work depicts the year-round snow-capped peaks of the Yushan Range along with the wildflowers blooming in profusion across a mountainside—their fragrance everywhere—and the untamed alpine plants. The dynamic, broadly Z-shaped composition draws the eye from near to far in an engaging manner, creating the artist's ideal of scenic beauty. Bold use of high chroma and high brightness conveys the heat and luminosity appropriate to an equatorial summer, allowing the vibrant natural world to be perfectly recreated on the canvas. Even within this magnificent, sweeping landscape, an atmosphere of serenity, calm, and happiness pervades; through gentle, light, and joyful brushwork and color, the artist successfully conveys her personal experience of the landscape to the viewer, engendering both visual and olfactory resonance.
