眾生演義：賴士超群像創作論述與實踐

Abstract

本論文以當代社會現象中的「群象」作為探究主軸，從社會觀察的視角出發，試圖紀錄並回應臺灣當前社會發展所浮現的諸多議題樣貌。透過藝術創作的實踐，進一步對應創作模式與媒材應用。第一章為緒論，說明本研究的創作動機與目的，並概述創作方法論，界定研究與創作的範圍及媒材應用，最後補充關鍵概念與名詞釋義。第二章以「社會行動」為理論切入點，從個體自我覺察與人格特質出發，探討社會行動與集體意識的生成邏輯，進而分析群體行動，奠定本文研究主題及創作方向的基礎。第三章則轉向對當代社會結構變動性的審視，解析社會中的流動性現象，並透過「時空關照」與美學觀點，進一步揭示藝術創作與社會參與間的關聯性。第四章聚焦於創作理念與模式之闡釋，從圖像詮釋的角度出發，探討筆者在創作研究階段系列發展的過程，由平面融合「空間意識」與場域思維，拓展水墨創作的表現可能性。第五章為創作實踐與代表性作品之具體解析，藉由創作成果之呈現，反映論述與創作互為印證的過程，並檢視作品如何作為對社會現象的視覺回應與批判性反思。第六章則為結論，統整本論文之研究成果與創作反思，回顧創作歷程中所面對的挑戰與轉化，並提出未來創作研究的延伸方向與可能性。This thesis centers on the concept of the “Ensemble Image” within contemporary social phenomena, adopting a perspective grounded in social observation to document and respond to the myriad issues arising from Taiwan’s current sociocultural development. Through the practice of artistic creation, the research further investigates modes of production and the application of materials within the creative process.Chapter One introduces the motivation and objectives of the research, outlining the methodology employed and defining the scope of both the study and artistic practice. This chapter also provides key conceptual frameworks and clarifies terminology used throughout the thesis.Chapter Two adopts “social action” as a theoretical lens, beginning with individual self-awareness and personality traits to examine the formation of collective consciousness and the dynamics of group behavior. This inquiry lays the theoretical foundation for the creative direction and research focus of the study.Chapter Three turns to an analysis of the shifting structures of contemporary society, with particular attention to social fluidity. Through the lens of spatiotemporal reflection and aesthetic theory, it explores the relationship between artistic practice and social engagement.Chapter Four articulates the creative concepts and methods underpinning the work. From the standpoint of image interpretation, it traces the author’s process during the research-creation phase, highlighting the integration of “spatial awareness” and site-specific thinking as a means to expand the expressive potential of ink-based art.Chapter Five offers an in-depth analysis of the creative practice and selected representative works. Through the presentation of outcomes, it demonstrates how theoretical discourse and artistic production inform and validate one another, while positioning the artworks as visual responses and critical reflections on contemporary social issues.Chapter Six concludes the thesis by synthesizing the research findings and reflecting on the creative journey. It reviews the challenges and transformations encountered throughout the process and proposes future directions for ongoing research and artistic exploration.
