郭旭達
創作論述

郭旭達在大學時代習畫，卻因為對形體、材質的感動和好奇而逐漸由畫家轉為雕塑家。移居紐約之後，在經常流連忘返的歷史博物館中觀察到不同民族對同一種形體或材料有著相同的感動，因而察覺到似乎人類在本質上存在著某種「共同性」，於是展開了長期的溯源行動，對自然物做各種角度的觀察，並加以繪圖紀錄。他尋找「本質」上的形，長久下來，他在腦海裡累積了或片斷或不完全的形，然後在相互衝突當中自由地將它們結合，直到形成一個完整而對他有意義的形體，最後著手將之做成陶瓷雕塑。

近年對建築的興趣驅使他探索建築與雕塑的相似之處，因此近作雖承襲了對原始、樸素造形的一貫追求，但一反過去對遠古的呼應，簡潔的線條呈現出更多的現代感和建築感。他也開始嘗試以雕塑家的角度創作平面作品，把主要物件置於畫面中央，並捨棄畫筆而改用畫刀，將繪畫視為雕塑在進行創作。隨著平面作品繽紛的顏色和肌理變化，我們也彷彿看到了藝術家不同的情緒表現。
