The Relationship of Body and Space

[[abstract]]Abstract This thesis presents a drawing research exploring the relationship between the body and space. The study follows the attempt of the author who pursues a more focused viewpoint of creation after years of art practice. By understanding the fact that in the material world, “reality” (in the sense of Zen) keeps changing perpetually, one can inspect things close to actuality. The research proposes a new way of seeing, examines different facets of drawing, and extents possibilities of visual art. Human figures play a center role in the creation part of this thesis; they manifest the uncertainty in time and space. The drawings illustrate and surround the idea that each and every existing thing is changing at every moment; the reality of material world is a constantly changing world. The thesis includes the following chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction-Explaining the research motivation, purpose, area, and restriction Chapter 2: Documentation-Searching related art documents and theories in the context of art history. Including Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism and contemporary artists who express concepts of time and moving Chapter 3: Experiment-Exploring the thesis concept and experimenting drawing means and forms to articulate the research theme-“the relationship of body and space” Chapter 4: Creation-Introducing the creation process, painting skills, expression styles, media forms and application Chapter 5: Interpretation-Interpreting each drawing creation based on the thesis theory Chapter 6: Conclusion-The process of thesis writing helps ponder on and break apart thoughts from the past and clarifies creating direction in the future. It anchors a thinking foundation for the author to expand his creation field. Keywords: body, space, relationship, moving, experimental, drawing style
