「松谷武判」黑世界的新視野

松谷武判在創作早期以戰後工業材料：「乙烯基膠（vinyl glue）」為主要媒材，他會在畫布上澆滿乙烯基膠，顛倒放置，自然風乾後形成特殊腫脹的球體，在畫布上造成像器官一般的破口。1980年代起，松谷武判延續具體派時期創作的標誌性媒介—乙烯基膠，精心控制流動，並輔以「黑色石墨」重複、持續地添加筆觸，加上電風扇、呼吸吹氣等方式，在畫面上形成新的起伏、皺褶與裂縫。松谷對於原始材料的有機運用已達登峰造極，仍不斷突破空間概念的侷限，探索繪畫空間的極致，進而開啟另一個介於平面與立體之間的想像可能。

A New Vision of "Black" 

In the early stages of his creative journey, MATSUTANI primarily used post-war industrial materials, particularly "vinyl glue" as his artistic language. He would pour vinyl glue onto a canvas, flip it upside down, and let it dry naturally, forming unique, swollen spheres and creating ruptures on the canvas that resembled organs. Starting in the 1980s, MATSUTANI continued to work with vinyl glue, a signature medium from his GUTAI art period. He carefully controlled its flow while subtly added repeated, continuous brushstrokes using "black graphite," along with techniques like fans and breath-blowing, to create protrusions, wrinkles, and cracks on the surface. The artist's organic use of raw materials reached its peak, continually breaking through the limitations of spatial concepts and exploring the extreme possibilities of painting space, thus opening up new imaginative possibilities between the flat and the three-dimensional.
