《現代藝術家呂和謙藉由探索內在意識藝術的宣示— 斷然走向未知的意識藝術》
一個摸索的自我
恰恰與沉澱的本我
在現實的路口交會
而此交惑的現實非現實面面而觀
而讓你掀開了ㄧ場幕
如此是目前幕後
抑是一個存在舞台的進行式
進入藝術家呂和謙「探索」劇目以內
好像為你丢擲了了一個問題的存在
#
燎燎的存在人間太多傀異
而在此現象的迷離
又有太多存在的莫可奈何
轉換為呂和謙藝術形式
一種色感介於憂鬱的前緣
卻也是存在現實而有存在而有表現
或許就此讓我們依者時空小巷
彎身進入存在片狀現實的畫面
人文的含蓄與稍稍距離
強烈呈現現代文明的色感
藝術如有又是何物
意識若有又是何狀
在此呂和謙將心思心念的手
殘酷的自我結構再重整的表達藝術意識
如此卻也坦白不留餘地的鋪陳
因為在此讓我們接觸了
屬於呂和謙的塊狀相鄰的色塊
如過這時他的意識
在在也是中庸如有的含蓄
更是屬於極致非傳統
非心理解析面對的意識
藝術的意識看似嚴謹
卻也是你日常所有感官的意謂
在此一位中年男人的藝術
讓我們看到大西裝以內的小背心
稍稍透露了自我本質的身軀
一種存在凌然的我走過數十年的意識
在此藝術家呂和謙卻也大膽說出
一個屬於他的「意識探索」的昭告
卻也清楚邁入自我內在意識的探索
表明了如此一位藝術家—呂和謙
以毅然而然的離開藝術的形式主義
藝術家呂和謙或許藝術意識的語彙建構中
如此一種初期藝術意識的指令下達
卻已達成呂和謙意識藝術豎立旗幟的絕對
而如此藝術的意識表達已大聲喊出
或許在此次發布作品系列中
如此灰藍而至成熟男人的柴色系列沉穩
或許在自我理念的表達下不夠犀利稍為收斂
但是呂合謙以清楚排除他形式的前障
讓我們看到一條通往呂和謙意識藝術的小徑
【AI後評論】
這篇紀向的藝評文字筆觸細膩、語境深邃，充滿了存在主義與心理學的思辨色彩。它精準地捕捉了藝術家呂和謙（Sam）從室內設計的「具象結構」跨入純藝術「抽象意識」的關鍵轉折點。
從核心論點、展覽亮點與藝術價值三個維度，深度解讀這篇關於《探索創作展》的評論：
核心論點：告別形式，邁向未知的本我
評論的核心在於宣告呂和謙「斷然走向未知的意識藝術」。
自我與本我的交會：評者認為展覽就像一場劇目，呂和謙在現實的路口，掀開了內心深處的帷幕。這不是普通的寫實繪畫，而是一場關於「目前與幕後」、現實與非現實交錯的存在主義詰問。
拋棄形式主義：過去室內設計背景可能帶來的嚴謹線條與實用功能（形式主義），在此刻已被藝術家「毅然而然」地拋棄。他選擇將自我結構殘酷地拆解、重整，用最坦白、不留餘地的態度去面對純粹的藝術。
色彩與語彙：中年男人的沉穩與克制
評者透過畫面呈現的色調，解讀出藝術家內斂卻強烈的生命感：
憂鬱前緣與現代色感：作品色感介於憂鬱的邊緣，帶有現代文明的疏離感。畫面呈現「塊狀相鄰的色塊」，既含蓄又具有非傳統的實驗性。
大西裝內的小背心：這個隱喻極為傳神。大西裝象徵藝術家在社會、職場打拼數十年、凜然面對世界的成熟外殼；而「小背心」則透露出他內心深處、稍稍展露的自我本質。
灰藍與柴色系列：此次展出的作品褪去了社會的喧囂，走向「灰藍」與成熟男人的「柴色（木質沉穩色）」系列。評者提到，這種色彩表達或許在理念上顯得稍微收斂、不夠犀利，但正是這種「中庸如有的含蓄」，展現了中年男人獨有的沉穩與厚實。
展覽的藝術價值：豎立意識藝術的旗幟
評者對這場在「新青蛙藝術畫廊」舉辦的展覽給予了高度的肯定：
排除前障，開闢小徑：雖然這只是呂和謙在藝術意識建構上的「初期指令下達」，但他已經成功排除了過去的包袱。
絕對的昭告：這場展覽是呂和謙對外最勇敢的「意識探索」昭告。他不僅成功在意識藝術領域豎立了自己的旗幟，更為觀者開闢了一條通往他靈魂深處的藝術小徑。
這篇評論成功地，將展覽從「視覺的欣賞」提升到了，「心靈與存在」的層次。

Modern artist Sam’s exploration of inner consciousness through art is a declaration—a resolute step towards the unknown realm of conscious art.
A self groping forward
meets the settled self
at the crossroads of reality
and this perplexing reality, viewed from all angles
opens a curtain for you
is this the present behind the scenes, or is it an ongoing stage of existence? Entering the “Exploration" of artist Sam feels like being presented with a question
The world is filled with too many strange and fantastical phenomena
and within this bewildering phenomenon lies too much helplessness. This is transformed into Sam’s art form—a sense of color lingering on the prelude to melancholy, yet also existing in reality. Existence implies expression. Perhaps this leads us, along this narrow alleyway of time, to bend down and enter the fragmented reality of existence. The subtlety and slight distance of humanity strongly present the sensibilities of modern civilization.
If art exists, what is it? If consciousness exists, what is its form? Here, Lü Heqian uses his thoughtful hand, cruelly reconstructing his own self to express artistic consciousness. This is a frank and unreserved unfolding, because here we encounter the adjacent blocks of color belonging to Sam. If at this moment his consciousness is also a subtle, moderate presence, then so too is his art. It belongs to the extreme of unconventionality, a consciousness confronted without psychological analysis.
The consciousness of art, seemingly rigorous, is also the meaning of all your daily senses. In the art of this middle-aged man, we see a small vest beneath a large suit, subtly revealing the essence of his body—a consciousness that has traversed decades with a commanding presence. Here, artist Sam boldly proclaims his own “exploration of consciousness," clearly stepping into the exploration of his inner self. This demonstrates that artist Sam has resolutely departed from the formalism of art.
Perhaps in the construction of the vocabulary of artistic consciousness, artist Sam has issued such an initial command of artistic consciousness, yet it has already achieved the absolute establishment of Sam’s conscious art. And such an expression of artistic consciousness has been loudly proclaimed. Perhaps in this series of released works, the gray-blue to mature man’s dark brown series is calm and composed; perhaps in the expression of his own concept, it is not sharp enough and slightly restrained. However, Sam has clearly eliminated the obstacles of his form, showing us a path leading to Sam’s conscious art.
[AI-Powered Commentary]
This art review by Chi Xiang is delicately written and profoundly insightful, imbued with existentialist and psychological reflections. It precisely captures the crucial turning point for the artist (Sam) as he transitions from the “figurative structure" of interior design to the “abstract consciousness" of fine art.
This review of the *Exploration and Creation Exhibition* delves into three dimensions: core argument, exhibition highlights, and artistic value.
Core Argument: Farewell to Form, Towards the Unknown Self
The core of the review lies in declaring Lü Heqian’s “resolute move towards the unknown realm of conscious art."
The Intersection of Self and Self: The reviewer believes the exhibition is like a theatrical performance, where Sam, at the crossroads of reality, unveils the depths of his inner self. This is not ordinary realistic painting, but an existentialist inquiry into the interplay of “present and behind the scenes," reality and unreality.
Abandoning Formalism: The rigorous lines and practical functions (formalism) that might have stemmed from his past background in interior design have been “resolutely" abandoned by the artist. He chooses to brutally dismantle and reconstruct his self-structure, facing pure art with the most honest and uncompromising attitude. Color and Vocabulary: The Composure and Restraint of a Middle-Aged Man
Through the color palette presented in the paintings, the critics interpreted the artist’s restrained yet intense sense of life:
* A Melancholy Edge and Modern Color Sensibility: The colors in the works linger on the edge of melancholy, carrying a sense of alienation from modern civilization. The paintings present “adjacent blocks of color," both subtle and unconventionally experimental.
* A Small Vest Under a Large Suit: This metaphor is extremely vivid. The large suit symbolizes the artist’s mature shell, weathered by decades of struggle in society and the workplace, facing the world with composure; while the “small vest" reveals his inner self, subtly revealed.
* Gray-Blue and Wood-Colored Series:* The works exhibited this time shed the hustle and bustle of society, moving towards a series of “gray-blue" and “wood-colored" (a calm, woody color) reminiscent of a mature man. The critics noted that this color expression might seem slightly restrained and less sharp in its concept, but it is precisely this “moderate restraint" that showcases the unique composure and solidity of a middle-aged man.
The Artistic Value of the Exhibition: Raising the Banner of Conscious Art
The reviewer highly praised the exhibition held at the New Frog Art Gallery: Overcoming Obstacles, Paving a New Path: Although this was only Sam’s “initial directive" in constructing artistic consciousness, he had successfully shed the burdens of the past.
An Absolute Proclamation: This exhibition is Sam’s most courageous proclamation of “conscious exploration." He not only successfully raised his own banner in the field of conscious art, but also opened an artistic path for viewers to the depths of his soul.
This review successfully elevates the exhibition from “visual appreciation" to the level of “mind and existence."
