初念儒《擬態焦慮》

返照之境－新媒體藝術展

藝術家｜初念儒

作品介紹｜《擬態焦慮》

作品圍繞身材焦慮的議題，透過分析構成焦慮的不同因素來凸顯該議題的多面性和複雜性。畫面將消化系統的器官與運動器材結合，促成消耗熱量與吸收熱量這兩種矛盾行為的對話。內臟的纏繞與激烈運動的表現，反映焦慮者的反覆掙扎和無力感。對內臟的揉捏與拉扯象徵著這些行為對身體造成的壓力與負擔。人物則以自動、不確定的顏料流動，模擬那種無形但真實存在的焦慮。

The work explores body anxiety, highlighting its multifaceted and hybrid nature by illustrating various contributing factors. The painting combines digestive organs with exercise equipment, creating a dialogue between the contradictory behaviors of calorie consumption and absorption. The entangled imagery of viscera and intense exercise reflects the helplessness of those struggling with anxiety. The kneading and pulling of the viscera symbolize the stress and strain on the body from these behaviors. Figures use automatic and uncertain movements of paint to represent anxiety—intangible yet undeniably real.
