「我明白循規蹈矩未必不是幸福。但血氣方剛的我想踏上更為狂野不羈的旅途。我認為我應該提防這些安逸的歡樂。我心裡渴望過上更危險的生活。我隨時願意奔赴陡峭險峻的山嶺和暗流洶湧的海灘，只要我能擁有改變 ——改變和意料之外的事物帶來的刺激。」 —— 毛姆《月亮與六便士》
這段話讓我回想創作初期的恐懼與期待，我喜歡創作過程裡產生的興奮感，也不斷探索著風景裡給我的訊息，面對畫布用畫筆與顏料思考，但其實也包含著人生風景與個性上的內在連接，自然環境給與的養分，也是我人生劇情的一部分。
在2022年個展「不期而遇」裡，我呈現出的是我開著車採集而來有趣的風景，裡面包涵描繪著疫情後植物的生命力，與那些隱藏而有豐富表情的叢林。之後我搭飛機出國，看見了雲與海，腦海裡就縈繞著許多雲海飄飄、深藍大海漂漂的畫面，想法與靈感就像水從山上流淌下來。而後我生活裡的景象都有著指引，像看到電影裡海景的片段、聽到歌曲中唱出海的慾望、或是偶爾聽到人生海海的漂泊故事、有時身處在寧靜的枯山水中、探索著海底神話與憶起浮潛海面下的探險、觀看繪畫與攝影作品裡的創造力、旅途中生動的場景與觀察生活平凡風景給予的畫面，也透過幻想與聯想構圖。
生活在台灣，四面環海的美麗島嶼，我們對海洋風景習以為常，隨處可見山與海的山水詩意，白日夢般的雲海奇景，湖岸邊的不期而遇，夢境的坡濤洶湧，枯山水的庭園造景及華麗珊瑚的海底世界。
「漂漂」有著漂亮之意，也有飛揚如雲海般的感覺，漂浮流動的畫面徜徉在山水與島嶼和海之間。我喜歡透過繪畫將美麗的景象創造出來，有些畫面或者風景是印象深刻的，令人亢奮、充滿歡樂的，令我回想起忘懷已久的場景。在繪畫過程裡，我覺得就像是回憶進行式，我回想那天看到風景的記憶，經歷的人事物，一再重現當時的景象，繪畫裡包含個人經驗與自身戲劇。我可以感受每件作品產生的故事，也想給觀看者一個我創造出來的風景故事，而作品是漂亮與歡樂的，且有屬於它自身的美感。
Jyun-Han LU resides in the picturesque coastal city of Hualien, where his artistic creations are inspired by the landscapes of his surroundings and his travels. He excels in using keen observation and imaginative thinking to convey a sense of vibrant beauty through vivid colors and dynamic geometric patterns on canvas.
His latest solo exhibition, "PIAO PIAO," draws inspiration from his travels to Hong Kong and Japan in 2023. Clouds and seas witnessed from the airplane became the main theme of this exhibition. The title, "PIAO PIAO," conveys both the idea of beauty and drifting, with artworks depicting scenes of clouds and seas. Jyun-Han LU attempts to capture the interplay between the moving clouds and the sea amidst mountains, islands, and the ocean.
In his creative process, LU integrates his personal experiences, much like a playwright using canvas as a stage to present landscapes and his own stories to viewers. He transforms landscapes into narratives, showcasing their inherent beauty. Like a game, he deconstructs and reconstructs scenes he has observed, vividly recreating impressive and memorable landscapes through painting.
It is worth mentioning that on April 3rd, Hualien experienced a 7.2-magnitude earthquake, triggering landslides and road closures along the Su-Hua Highway. LU's prepared artworks were also scattered on the ground. Although the natural disaster posed challenges to this exhibition, fortunately, there were no significant losses. Inspired by the earthquake, LU set aside feelings of helplessness and frustration amidst the chaos at home on the day of the earthquake. Instead, he immersed himself in creation amid the panic and hundreds of aftershocks, with works such as "The View Before the Solo Exhibition" and "The Admirable Rescue Team" capturing the scenes of landslides on the Su-Hua Highway and paying tribute to the heroic rescue teams.
Jyun-Han LU cherishes every encounter with the landscapes he sees, with each artwork representing a cherished memory. From April 11th to June 2nd, 2024, ASTAR GALLERY invites everyone to visit the exhibition "PIAO PIAO" and appreciate LU's deep affection for the surrounding scenery captured by his brushstroke.
