非專業者的模仿  抹煞專業者作品

創新之路無疑是辛苦的,他問道:「如果一個老公整天在做的事情,就是把沙子倒在客廳的玻璃茶几上,在那裡畫東畫西,你覺得老婆會怎麼想?」 而為了要讓雙手並用,他也曾經一整個月將右手插入口袋,所有事情只准用左手做。 2007年他受邀參與金馬獎頒獎典禮的演出,那也是他首次在公開的場合表演沙畫,那場神乎其技的表演,除了讓他知名度大開,也讓台灣觀眾第一次見識到一場精采的沙畫表演。 沙畫議題炒熱之後,隨之而來的便是後繼、追隨者的出現。莊明達對此表示,當「第一」本來就會有許多追隨的腳步,如果能因此讓沙畫有更多的創新、更好的進步, 那麼整件事情是可以往正面發展的;但怕就怕這些追隨者所做的不過是粗糙的模仿,重視的是表面的「噱頭」,而不是內在的「意義」。 「這樣一來,這些非專業的人,反而會讓真正專業的作品遭到抹殺!」 他表示,現在中國與台灣方面,有不少從街頭藝人、臨時演員出身的”沙畫家”竄起,這些人有的可能是事先錄製好沙畫表演,到了現場用手假意搬弄; 或是刻意模仿某件作品,模仿得唯妙唯肖,此外全無功夫,若這些人同樣也能得到觀眾的喝采賞識,那對真正的美學創意者、藝術家是不公平的。 就好比當初他帶起人體彩繪的風潮,最後卻被些粗枝濫造的模仿者,讓這項藝術染上污名一樣。 他最後選擇退出,讓熱潮淡化後,反而能還原本來的面目。

Imitations by Amateurs Harms Professionals’ Creations

The road of innovation is undoubtedly difficult to walk on. He asked, “If what a husband does all day long is to pour sand onto the glass tea table in the living room and draw all kinds of things in it, what do you think the wife will think?” And in order to use both hands adroitly, he once placed his right hand in the pocket for a whole month and did all things using the left hand. In 2007, he was invited to perform on the stage of the Golden Horse Awards presentation ceremony, which was his first performance in public ever. His performance was amazing, so he became famous overnight, and the audiences in Taiwan were able to enjoy a brilliant sand animation performance for the first time. After the sand art issue grew hot, what immediately ensued was the emergence of followers. As for this, Minta remarked that the pioneer will certainly have many followers, and if this can result in more innovations and further progress in sand art, then the whole matter can develop positively. What he fears is that the followers do nothing but to roll out shoddy imitations and only pay attention to superficial “stunts” rather than internal “significance.” “In so doing, the followers will instead lead to the elimination of truly professional works." He added that presently in mainland China and Taiwan, there have emerged quite a few so-called “sand artists” who originally worked as extras or street performers and who might use a pre-shot clip of sand animation performance and pretend to be performing live; or they might just copy another artist’s work to perfection, but are lacking in creativity and skill. If such impostors can win acclaim as much, then it will be unfair to those genuine aesthetic designers and artists. It’s just like the last time when he launched the trend of body painting and ended up walking away from the art because some imitators had contaminated the art with their low-quality work so that the trend could be watered down and the true face of the art regained.
