沥青、画布Asphalt on Canvas

〈无题 (3)〉是在画布上，以沥青 ( 柏油 ) 取代颜料的画作，摆在画作一旁，形神干枯的小盆栽，则是取代正规画笔，用来完成这些作品的绘画工具。卢征远刻意用活的植物沾着沥青在画布上涂抹，透过植物枝叶的不同型态，在画布上留下不同的抽象性笔触，但是沥青的腐蚀性，也导致了植物的枯萎死亡。在此，艺术家的目的并非以替代性工具画出独特的作品，而是有意凸显这种「创作之后就死亡」的戏剧性，从而探讨文明发展中，人和自然愈来愈紧张的关系状态。卢征远指出：「柏油是都市化进程的必备材料，从乡村到城市的食物供应链，就是一条条用沥青铺成的柏油道路，植物跟沥青，在我看来有一种此消彼长的关系，当路面沥青越多、越大，植物相对的面积就越少，反之亦然。」〈无题 (3)〉采用的绘画形式，用卢征远自己的说法：「我只是借用了一个壳，把这种紧张关系给呈现出来 !」
Untitled-3 is created with asphalt (tar) instead of paint. The withered small potted plant next to the paintings is what the artist has used to replace paint brushes and create the work. Lu Zheng-yuan deliberately painted the paintings with a live plant to dip in asphalt, leaving abstract brushstrokes created with the forms of the plant branches on the canvases. However, the asphalt has also eroded the plant, causing it to wither and die. In this work, the artist’s objective is not to use substitutive instrument to create unique works; instead, he intends to emphasize on the dramatic result of “death after creation,” and discusses the more and more intense relationship between man and nature in the progress of civilization. Lu has stated, “asphalt is a necessity for urban development. The food chain that links countryside and cities is built with all the tarred roads. From my perspective, there exists a negative correlation between plants and asphalt. When roads are bigger with more asphalt, the area covered by plants becomes smaller, and vice versa.” When talking about the creative approach of Untitled-3, Lu Zheng-yuan said
