生之頌 - 謝銀吉創作個展
The Melody of Life - Yin Chi Hsieh Solo Exhibition
山岳重重連
林木株株見
風動雲霧顛
禽飛獸藏掩
自然界充滿著花花草草、林木大大小小，佇立妝扮美化大地。藝術家謝銀吉的故鄉高雄甲仙是南橫公路必經之處，那裡山林重重環繞，澗溪流水清澈，常見游魚追逐、掩蝦探頭、鳥禽鳴啼。藝術家出生在此，童年生活也受自然美好的環境影響，飛禽走獸鄰處親近，共生同融這塊僻壤，鄉村土味，田野芳香也就自然沾滿其身了。
謝銀吉的創作形式多元無固定性，尤重視個別風格特質。一般來說，寫實作品確實較易懂也貼近人，但通常難成就幾筆傳神之妙趣；而完全抽象形式卻又不易觸動觀者的情感。謝銀吉的創作正介於兩者之間，採「寫意」手法，描寫主題的形象與色塊適巧地融合與共鳴，營造韻律節奏之美感，不求細膩逼真，卻是捕神捉影，而這剛好可彌補這二點缺陷。
藝術家在創作上常以線性為主軸，簡化並捨棄物象本身多餘的造形，而視覺上強烈色塊面、點與線之交疊，營造節奏性韻律樂章，帶給觀者在空間感上有更多的層次感受。作品更融入東方水墨空靈上的留白意涵，無為而為，任由虛無飄渺的理路及⻄方色彩運用上的燦麗，大膽和創新，以傳達內在對生活周遭景物的情感表現。

藝術家謝銀吉的藝術表現形式多元無固定性，重視個别風格特質。運筆勾勒線條簡化，描寫的主題形象與色塊適巧地融合共鳴，營造韻律節奏美感，不求細膩逼真，卻是捕神捉影，掌握大格局傳達寫意風格，一直是他表現的手法。藝術家熱愛東方空靈水墨意境，空、白、水三胞胎似是又非，虛無飄渺。作品視覺上運用強烈色塊面、點與線之交疊，帶給觀者在空間感上有更多的層次效果，以筆墨描線，宣紙暈染的朦朧效果及在畫布上以壓克力彩、油畫，時薄染、時厚重地塗鴉，紮實堆疊所產生之張力，無不是為邁入自然真性鋪路而創發。

Art is fluid, with no boundaries and no rules. Art emphasizes and demonstrates individual styles and characteristics. Through the use of simple strokes and color patches, the artist depicts the rhythmic beauty of the nature. Artist does not seek exquisiteness and reality, but to capture the shadow. Mastering the bigger picture and pattern to convey freehand style has always been his performance technique. Artist loves the Eastern ethereal ink style; the coherence of the three pillars: “abstract”, “color”, and “water”. The art seems revealing yet concealed, thus creating the feeling of nothingness and fulfillment.
Visually, the overlapping dabs, strong color patches, delicate points and lines, results in a multi-layered effect on the sense of space. With the use of ink strokes on Xuan paper, and the graffiti of acrylic and oil paintings on canvas, the artist creates a very distinct tension of space and color, leading to the concept of truly intangible nature.
