簡介

藝術家劉柏村以「金剛」形像命題的系列作品,暗指武俠小說或神話故事、科幻電影之類的人物意像,取其強健勇猛、無可破壞之意,如同宗教中所言的金剛不壞之身,代表修成具有能量的法身圓滿境界。

作品非金剛群像形態則是攫取《男女金剛像》的外輪廓線條,複製而產生的形式,其形態如健美先生共十六座,每座高約為三公尺,男女形態各分八座,每座是由兩片同一形態依十字形構築而成,作品藉由外在線條所框架成形。與其說其內為虛,不如說其形象界定了或框住了空間,讓框線構圖得以在真實空間中產生意義。

Artist Liu Po-Chun has named this series after images of Vajrasattva, alluding to Wuxia, or stories of martial arts, along with other genres like mythology and science fiction movies. The strength, prowess, and invincibility of these contours resemble the Buddhist Vajrasattva and the state of a powerful completion.

The forms of Non-Vajrasattva adopt the bodybuilder-esque contours imagined from Buddhist tradition, and are rendered in many reproductions. There are a total of sixteen pieces, each standing three meters tall: eight with female bodies, and eight with male bodies. The figures are built with two pieces of steel lines wedged together to form the contour of Vajrasattva. Instead of describing them as hollow forms, it would be more apt to describe them as the defining or framing of a space that gives the borderline a meaning in the reality.
Non-Vajrasattva does not represent the known form of Vajrasattva, but rather a paradox or ambiguity between true and false.
