畫作口述影像

〈祖母玩花〉是藝術家黃銘哲在1981年創作的油畫，長、寬都是61公分。

這幅畫作以接近真人的比例，畫出一對祖孫的上半身；是一幅描繪祖孫親情互動的作品。畫裡的場景像是夜晚，白髮的阿媽穿著傳統的藍布衫，臉和手都佈滿皺紋，她低頭專注捏弄著手裡幾朵纖細的小花。一個十歲左右的孩子緊靠在旁邊，正把頭湊向阿媽，注視著阿媽玩花的手。兩人親近的身形，無聲地傳達了祖孫之間的情感。

黃銘哲使用深淺明暗不同的近似色彩，對光影和色彩做十分細膩的變化處理。這幅畫作的色調很暗，乍看之下光線聚集在畫面中央祖孫兩人的面容和阿媽的手。仔細觀察這些位置，寫實描繪的陰影可以看出燈光從上向下照射的方向性，周遭沒有光線的地方則隱沒在黑暗中。這種明暗佈局，也正好烘托出中央人物的形像，營造出平靜、溫馨的氛圍。

黃銘哲是一個持續轉換風格和創作技法的藝術家。他出身宜蘭農家，早年受到鄉土文學的衝擊而投身鄉土寫實繪畫。〈祖母玩花〉是他早期寫實風格的作品，能觀察到他在繪畫基本技法精緻細膩的表現。

Audio Description

Grandmother Playing with Flowers is an oil painting created by artist HUANG Ming-Je in 1981. The painting is 61 centimeters tall and wide.

The painting is a half-body portrait of a grandmother and her grandchild, depicted in nearly life-size proportions. It spotlights the relationship and interaction between the pair. The painting appears to be set at night. The grandmother has gray hair and is wearing a traditional indigo-dyed shirt. Her face and hands are covered in wrinkles. Her head is lowered, focused on the small flowers in her hand. A child, around ten years old, is leaning against her and looking intently at the grandmother’s hands as they tinker with the flowers. Their physical interaction reflects the strong bond between the grandmother and her grandchild.

In this painting, HUANG Ming-Je uses similar colors of varying shade and brightness to exquisitely create light, shadows, and colors. While the tone of the painting is quite dark, at first glance, light seems to be concentrated on the grandmother, her hands, and her grandchild in the center of the frame. Upon closer examination, the realistic depiction of shadows reveals the directional light coming from above, while the surrounding areas without light fade into darkness. This contrast of light and shadow effectively highlights the human subjects in the center, creating a serene and warm atmosphere.

As an artist, HUANG Ming-Je is constantly evolving his style and techniques. He was born in Yilan to farmer parents and was influenced by nativist literature in his early years, which led him to pursue nativist realism in his paintings. Grandmother Playing with Flowers is one of his early realist works that showcase his refined and exquisite expression of fundamental painting techniques.
