如今文創產業與社群媒體越趨發達,插畫家似乎再也不是一個遙遠的夢,而吳騏對莘莘學子的建議是:如果你喜歡,那就堅持。「要畫出心中的畫面,不要太為了市場或環境去畫那種譁眾取寵的作品。如果要做,就全力去做,如果你不為自己瘋狂的話,別人怎麼會為你瘋狂?你一定要自己先狂熱,全心全意做完,再來找答案」,一秒化身熱血教師的吳騏,「Just do it」似乎是他堅信不移的人生準則。
自由工作者憑什麼生存?小說家尼爾蓋曼(Neil Richard Gaiman)說,才華洋溢、交件準時、人好相處,是三項重要能力,能夠三者兼具應該可以無敵,幸運的是,符合其中兩項也能很順利:「別人可以忍受你難相處,只要你的作品很好而且準時完成;別人可以原諒你拖延,只要作品很好而且他們喜歡你這個人;或者你的作品也不必非常好,只要你準時交稿,而且聽你說話如沐春風。」
後來當了自由工作者,和另一位總編輯合作,江湖傳言他難相處,挑工作夥伴得看頻率合不合。一開始我誠惶誠恐、怕說錯話,後來慢慢發現,總編輯每次開會都有源源不絕的點子,彷彿腦海裡已經建立了多種解決方案供客戶挑選,是因為他習慣在事前準備大量參考資料,功課做足,在開會現場一旦出手就是快狠準,絕不拖泥帶水。和這樣的頂尖創意人合作,光是一起開會就學到好多,總編輯才華洋溢又絕不拖延,有 sense 的人都情願忍受他難相處的一面。
展覽主題訂為「HOME TOWN TAIWAN」,以「臺灣」為核心出發,探討「家」的定義與意義,共分為兩個部分:#Hometown_Taiwan 以臺灣生活為創作靈感的插畫作品,讓世界各地的人能體會到臺灣的迷人魅力與特殊風景,更希望讓國外遊子一解思鄉情緒;#Messages_from_Taiwan 則以「來自遠方的問候」為題,以明信片的概念創作,不僅是朋友間短信,更是臺灣創作者對全世界所發出的訊息。
隨著浮世繪的研究拓展,博物館也積極地尋找不同的切入點,而關於若眾的展覽,當數多倫多的皇家安大略博物館於2016年的「第三性別:日本版畫中的美少年」(A Third Gender: Beautiful Youths in Japanese Prints)最為人所知,隔年太田美術館也隨即策畫「江戶的扮女裝與扮男裝(江戸の女装と男装)」一展。
由文化部及駐休士頓臺北經濟文化辦事處臺灣書院主辦、藝術家鄒駿昇策展的台灣繪本插畫線上展「HOME TOWN TAIWAN」,於2021年1月26日至2021年11月25日展出,裡頭集結洪添賢、良根、幾米等33位台灣插畫家;展覽以「台灣」為核心出發,探討「家」的定義與意義,並分為兩個展間:「Hometown Taiwan」、「Messages from Taiwan」,不僅讓全世界的人窺見台灣的日常,亦從插畫中獲得療癒的力量。
台灣繪本插畫線上展「HOME TOWN TAIWAN」即日起~2021年11月25日展出
2020年對許多人而言是特別又或許難熬的一年,疫情之下,讓「家」也變得遙遠,但那些無法抵達的,在「HOME TOWN TAIWAN」展覽中,全都連結了起來;由藝術家鄒駿昇策展的台灣繪本插畫展,原訂今年中在美國休士頓舉辦,而為讓更多人看見台灣的美好,休士頓台灣書院特別將實體展覽改為線上觀看形式進行。
集結33位台灣插畫家 打造以台灣為核心、探討家的定義之插畫展
策展人鄒駿昇提到,不論是物理或心理層面,家皆具有許多不同意義,不僅是避風港,亦是一種歸屬感。而本次的「HOME TOWN TAIWAN」展覽透過不同藝術家的視角呈現台灣的日常生活,藉此亦讓觀者珍惜身邊擁有的一切。因此,此次的展覽不僅集結台灣33位插畫家,更以「台灣」為核心出發,探討「家」的定義與意義。
