→展覽簡介

  何文杞,2013年成為佛館駐館藝術家,2014~2015年約用一年半時間,在法師、義工多人輪流協助下,利用清晨和黃昏較清涼的時光,在佛光山大門、禮敬大廳樓上、恆河、樟樹林等處,從不同角度畫佛光大佛、八塔、鐘鼓樓、本館及四聖諦塔,也從榕樹林滴水坊及雙閣樓樓上畫大佛,並由紫竹林鳥瞰彩繪佛館全景連作。
其作畫中全神貫注,以山馬筆或扇筆直接取景作畫,大膽直覺地揮毫,在強烈的感覺下,畫面產生不少神來之筆,這是所謂天人合一的成果,就是靈感之作,皇天不負苦心人,終於完成佛館百景。


    彩繪佛館百景百幅水彩及油畫作品,於2015年6月12日將一切版權捐獻給佛光山,隨即由佛光緣美術館安排巡迴展出,期望觀眾會喜歡。每件作品透過色彩的三要素,造型、筆觸等,透過視覺傳達拙者內心的喜悅、感動及美感。


  最後何老師特別感謝來館觀賞的觀眾以及在彩繪佛光山、佛館百景時幫助過他的人,深深一鞠躬!天佑台灣!佛祖護佑台灣人民!

 

→Exhibition Introduction

     Mr. Boonky Ho, has become the Buddha Memorial Center resident artist in 2013. From 2014~2015, about one and a half years, with the assist of the Venerable and volunteers. He use to paint during dawn or dusk due to the cool and comfortable weather, he had painted the gate of Fo Guang Shan, the top of the Front Hall, Ganges River, the Camphor, every different angle of Fo Guang Big Buddha, Eight Pagodas, Drum and Bell Tower, Main Hall and Four Noble Truths Stupas, and also painted the Big Buddha at the view of Camphor Grove Tea House, the Twin Pavilions, and have painted the entire scene of the Buddha Memorial Center from the black bamboo forest.

 

During painting Boonky Ho was completely focused and often used a mountain horse Calligraphy brush or fan paintbrush to paint out the scenes. He was bold, and he painted with intuition; under intense inspiration, many strokes of genius came to life, which are the results of the painter achieving perfect harmony with nature-- these are deeply inspired works.

 

The copyrights of the One Hundred Buddha Memorial Center Scenes paintings were contributed to Fo Guang Shan on June 12, 2015. Immediately after the contribution, Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery arranged a touring exhibition for the paintings, and Boonky Ho hopes that visitors will be enjoying it. Every piece of work expressed his joy, inspiration, and aestheticism through the three elements of color, design, and brushwork.

 

        Finally, Boonky Ho would like to express his gratitude to the visitors who came to see his paintings and those who had helped him during his painting in Fo Guang Shan and the One Hundred Illuminating of Buddha Memorial Center Scenes Paintings: He gives his deepest gratitude! May God bless Taiwan! May Buddha bless the people of Taiwan!

揮灑畫筆,展現佛館之美
 
   在佛陀紀念館,也許您曾看過這樣的畫面;一位頭戴斗笠,身穿素樸衣裳,手執畫筆,神情專注的坐在畫架前作畫。或許您曾趨前一探究竟,或遠遠凝視,或匆匆走過,但他都如如不動。他是誰呢?

    話說2012年10月,台灣鄉土畫先驅何文杞先生參與「百畫齊芳─百位畫家畫佛館特展」。翌年,家師星雲大師致贈百位畫家每人一套《世界佛教美術圖說大辭典》,隨後,我邀請何文杞先生為佛陀紀念館駐館藝術家,他感動之餘,允諾再創作100幅佛光山與佛館的畫作,致贈給佛光山。

    何文杞先生是台灣現代水彩畫協會會長、國際水彩畫聯盟總裁、台美文化基金會董事、陳澄波文化基金會董事,專長水彩,其作品獲得國外高度評價,曾榮獲英國劍橋世界名人錄中心「2005世界傑出百人藝術家」、「美國北卡傳記協會國際名人錄傑出藝術領導獎」、「日本東京美術館白亞展特別優秀獎」等。

    畫家何文杞一生獻身藝術,發掘台灣之美,推廣台灣藝術,不斷思考台灣文化的走向與未來,被譽為「最具反省精神的台灣新本土主義畫家」!提及創作一百幅佛光山與佛館的目的,他說,星雲大師以文化弘揚佛法,身為畫家的他,也希望透過自己擅長的繪畫,以佛館為創作背景,透過畫筆展現佛館之美。

    19歲就受洗成為天主教徒的何文杞先生,秉持著「宗教本是同源」的理念,與佛光山互相包容、合作交流。他說,佛光山讓大眾歡喜前來,就是因為人事物都很善美,法師與義工都相當親切,景物優美,因此也讓他得以歡喜完成百幅佛館畫作。

    韶光荏苒,轉眼何文杞先生已完成百幅畫作,2015年6月他帶來他的百幅作品。看著擺在桌面的畫作,我眼睛為之一亮,畫中的景物雖是我所熟悉的,但透過畫筆呈現出來的,卻別有風味。畫中各種角度的大佛、遠近高低各不同的八塔、初春的紫竹林、冬日午後的雙閣樓,還有隨風搖曳的……,我似乎聽到了「沙沙」的風聲,嗅到了淡淡的花香,也感受到畫家的「心」,更讓我體會到星雲大師以文化弘法的理念。

    佛光山與佛館之美,您可以親臨現場體會,或透過攝影鏡頭感受,也可以聽別人轉述領略……。2015年9月,佛陀紀念館展出「人間淨土—何文杞彩繪佛館百景捐贈畫展」並出版專集,讓他帶領您欣賞不同風光的佛光山與佛館之美。

    在此除了要感謝何文杞先生,還要特別感謝陪伴他完成百幅畫作的何夫人,及協助畫家完成畫作的佛陀紀念館和佛光緣美術館總館、屏東館的法師及義工伙伴。
   
是為序。

佛光緣美術館總館長 如常
 
Mastery Strokes, Express the Beauty of the Buddha Memorial Center
 
Perhaps you might seen a painter who’s wearing a conical bamboo hat, simple unadorned clothing, and holding on a paint brush, absorbed in his work before the easel of Buddha Memorial Center. And perhaps you might be once approached to him and seeing what’s happen, or even gazed from far, or hastily walked pass, but he never budged. Who is him?

The story began in October 2012, when Mr. Boonky Ho the Taiwan’s grassroots painting pioneer who has participated in the exhibition of Paintings in Bloom: A Special Exhibition of 100 Artists Illustrating in Buddha Memorial Center. In the following year, Venerable Master Hsing Yun presented a hundred sets of Encyclopedia of Buddhist Arts to every participating artists, therefore I also invited Mr. Ho as the resident artist of the Buddha Memorial Center. And touches the heart of Mr Ho, so he promised to create one hundred piece of paintings which related to Fo Guang Shan and the Buddha Memorial Center, and contribute to Fo Guang Shan.

 Mr. Ho is the Director of the Taiwan Modern Watercolor Association, Chairman of the International Watercolor Painting Alliance, Board Director of Taimei Cultural Foundation, and also the Board Directors of Chen Cheng Po Cultural Foundation. He is specializes in watercolor and are highly praised internationally. He was honored the Top 100 Artists in 2005 by the International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, UK, Distinguished Artist Leadership Award by the American Biographical Institute of North Carolina, USA, and won the Special Award of Excellence Watercolor Exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, Japan.

Mr. Boonky Ho has dedicated his entire life in art, discovering the beauty of Taiwan, and by promoting it. He continuously contemplates the direction of Taiwanese culture and its future, he also hailed as the “Most Introspective Painter of Taiwan Localization.” When asked the purpose behind this painting project, Mr. Ho said that Venerable Master Hsing Yun spreading Humanist Buddhism through arts and cultures. As an artist, he wished to show the beauty of Buddha Memorial Center by his paint brush and his expertise in painting by using Buddha Memorial Center as the theme of his creations.

 At the age of 19, Mr. Ho had been baptized as a catholic but he still upholds the idea of “all religions have the same root”, so he respected and cooperated with Fo Guang Shan. He said that the reason why Fo Guang Shan attract the general public is because of joyfulness and the beauty of people, things and environment. The venerables and volunteers are very friendly, and the scenery is beautiful. The reason which allowed him to finish his one hundred paintings of the Buddha Memorial Center joyfully.

 Time flies like the blink of eye, Mr. Ho has finished one hundred paintings and he brought them to me in June 2015. The paintings which laid out on the desk are just shining bright by themselves. Although I know these scenes well, but presented through a paint brush was really the charm of refreshing. In the paintings, there are all different angles of the Big Buddha, Eight Pagodas at various distances and elevations, Bamboo Grove in the early spring, the Twin Pavilions on a winter afternoon, and wind swaying of the……., I could almost hear the rustling sound of the forest dancing by the wind, smelled a hint of flower fragrance which make me feels the heart of an artist and also makes me understand the ideal of why Venerable Master Hsing Yun wanted to spread Humanist Buddhism through arts and culture.

To experience the beauty of Fo Guang Shan and the Buddha Memorial Center, you can visit personally, or by photography, or listening to others paraphrased. In September 2015, the Buddha Memorial Center will held an exhibition of Pure Land in the Human World—by Boonky Ho’s Hundred Illustrations of Buddha Memorial Center, and related catalog would been published. Let Mr. Ho leads you to the varied beauty of Fo Guang Shan and the Buddha Memorial Center.
 In conclusion, my gratitude goes not only to Mr. Ho, and also his wife who accompanied him throughout the painting project. Hereby, I also extend the same gratitude to the venerables and volunteers at the Buddha Memorial Center, Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery headquarters, and the Pingtung Gallery who assisted the painter in the completion of this project.
