關於作品
About this project
作品探討日本特攝片中哥吉拉等怪獸作為災害的符號，隨著娛樂產業發展成為各式收藏品及特攝文化的全球傳播媒介，並在臺灣形成特攝迷社群這樣的藏品交流社團。呈現出怪獸從恐懼象徵到娛樂收藏的意義轉變。
This work explores how kaiju, once symbols of disaster in Japanese tokusatsu films, have evolved with the entertainment industry into a global conduit for spreading collectibles and tokusatsu culture, fostering collector community in Taiwan. It illustrates the transformation of kaiju from symbols of fear to objects of entertainment and collection.

創作以油彩、壓克力與噴漆模擬映像管電視的低傳真畫質，描繪童年特攝片影像。藉繪畫材料的繪畫性與模糊質感，在圖層的分層描繪上，連結早期特攝片的光學特效後製工程，並以多視窗式的畫作呈現，探索當代繪畫之可能。
The artist employs oil, acrylic, and spray paint to emulate the low-fidelity image quality of cathode-ray tube televisions, depicting scenes from childhood tokusatsu films. Through the painterly qualities and blurred textures of these materials, the layered compositions echo the optical effects and post-production techniques of early special-effects cinema. Presented as multi-window paintings, the works explore the evolving possibilities of contemporary painting.
