夏日午後 Summer Afternoon 簽名畫背：Summer Afternoon Ting 79 Signed reverse Ting, titled Summer Afternoon and dated 79 作品《夏日午後》正值藝術家創作的巔峰期，1970 年代末期到1980 年代初期，常見丁雄泉炙熱的情緒表現，以及瀟灑放蕩的大幅暢快筆觸，質感隨興而厚實，不禁令觀者聯領略到其眼鏡蛇畫派的澎湃。藝術家在作品中用極盡燦爛的油彩所能延伸出的光感、形狀、線條和能量，是在與我們分享他豐沛的情愛，是愛、是情都是丁氏的靈魂；曾有人說過他的作品極具情色意味，或許這些「情」是丁氏創作的靈感來源，是他生命的主體，而這些「色」是他畫中華麗繽紛的顏色，是血、是肉，而正是透這些絢爛的色彩使他感覺活著。 所以用活色生香來詮釋丁雄泉和他筆下的作品再合適不過，藝術家以大尺幅構建了時間與空間感，探索從未勘探過的圖式視域。《夏日午後》是一個充滿著「愛欲」的感情世界，其中雙女主以大V 字構圖呈現在世人面前，風情萬種又身處畫面兩側。天藍色幕布前依偎左坐的佳人一身明黃色裙衣光彩耀人，使視線全部集中在畫面左邊，奪人眼球；中間那流動性高而易揮灑的壓克力顏料與直率勾勒的油蠟筆細線，底色襯著兩位美女的面頰，濃烈卻雅致的用色更顯畫中女人嫩白透粉的肌膚。佳麗鮮黃色裙擺映襯出七月流火的盛夏，畫面盡是生趣，豐沛的大色塊運用，將藝術家對大自然的內心體驗，跡化成一種個性獨具的純粹的實在。淡雅的底色深沉大氣，貫穿在兩位佳麗身後，給夏日的午後添加了些許清爽，又隱含東方留白的寫意精神。右邊翹腳後傾的佳人湖綠色上衣幾乎與背景融為一體，其猶抱琵琶半遮面，僅露出一雙迷濛大眼的嬌羞神態。作品的構圖佈陣，無不奇崛突兀，出人意表而又合乎情理，雖極奇特而又意蘊生動，達到視圖的對立，和諧中的變化引人入勝。大尺幅女性主題作品《夏日午後》他獨特的生命感受性及藝術性為觀者帶來更多的想像空間，亦與2015 年羅芙奧春季拍賣會場上的《世界小姐》異曲同工，同為歌頌女性之美的題材之佳作。丁雄泉抽象畫作於近年來拍賣會場上表現不凡，並且大幅攀升，這股漲勢到了2020 年後更是銳不可擋。丁雄泉的才情與對生活的熱情詠吟，也淋漓盡致地體現於他的抽象作品中，同時也為丁雄泉的藝術收藏開啟了新的篇章。 The work "Summer Afternoon" was created in Wallasse Ting's prime. Works from the late 1970s to the early 1980s often reflect Ting's heated emotional presentations involving huge and dashing freestyle strokes, yielding a texture that is casual and thick and making the viewer feel the surging emotions of the CoBra. In his works, the artist uses splendidly marvelous oil paints to express a sense of light, shapes, lines, and energy. Through his works, he shares with the viewer his ample sentiments. Both love and affection fill Ting's soul. Some people have stated that Ting's works are erotic. Perhaps affection was the inspiration for his creations and is the subject of his life, whereas eroticism comprises the splendid colors of his painting, as it is in his flesh and blood. It is through these splendid colors that he feels most alive. Erotic and sensuous best describes Ting and his works. The artist uses large-scale paintings to construct a sense of space and time and to explore an imagery visual horizon that has never been explored. "Summer Afternoon" is an emotional world filled with eroticism. The dual female lead characters are composed in a V shape before the viewer, presenting a variety of feelings on both sides of the picture. In front of the azure curtain, a lady on the left is in bright yellow, the brilliancy of her dress attracting all attention. In the middle of the painting are smooth brush strokes of acrylic which have an ease to the paint and thin and direct oil crayon lines. The background color underlines the cheeks of the two beautiful ladies. The thick yet elegant colors emphasize the pinkness of their white skin. The bright yellow skirt foregrounds the hot July summer with playful imagery. The use of large color blocks transforms the artist's internal experiences of nature into a unique and pure substance. The elegant background color behind the two ladies is profound, adding a touch of coolness to the summer afternoon while hinting at the freehand spirit of eastern painting techniques of utilizing negative space. The lady on the right, legs crossed and leaned back, is dressed in a turquoise blouse that almost merges with the background. Her face is half hidden, and only her large eyes reveal a hint of shyness. The composition of this work is bizarre, unexpected yet perfectly reasonable. Although it is extremely unique, it is lively. Dynamic opposites are represented in the work and changes in harmony make this painting even more eye-catching. This large-scale work "Summer Afternoon" with women as the theme shows Ting's unique feeling for life and aestheticism, providing the viewer with ample space for imagination. Similar to the piece "Miss World" auctioned in the Ravenel Spring Auction 2015, this is yet another outstanding work praising feminine beauty. Ting's abstract paintings have been well-received in the auction scene in recent years, and prices have been skyrocketing, especially after 2020. Ting's talent and his passion for life are unreservedly represented in his abstract paintings, opening a new chapter for collecting Ting's arts.
