洁西卡.芮娜(Jessica Rayner,英国,1985年生)毕业于全球顶尖艺术设计学府─英国皇家艺术学院(Royal College of Art),主修绘画与印刷艺术(printmaking),丰富的创作训练背景使芮娜灵活运用各类媒材于不同主题中发挥,2012年以新秀之姿入围德意志银行(Deutsche Bank Awards)十大潜力年轻艺术家,近年常于北欧各国进行多项光影创作计画,亦曾于冰岛拍摄地球能源耗损情况与气候变迁议题的作品《Metabolic Landscape》,关注光影、科学与自然的探索。

「我们以为世界是我们双眼所见的模样,事实是我们的意识赋予我们的所见意义。」成长于英国伦敦的芮娜,在旅行冰岛、挪威与格陵兰等极北地区期间,经过截然不同的感官体验,始投入自然环境相关题材创作,并聚焦于光与个体感知的互动与关係。「光」使我们得以见着世界丰富的形色,「知觉」的处理则赋予眼前的事物不同的意义,而透镜的应用使我们有机会放大视觉触及的可能,看见更多的未知,芮娜的系列创作即以此为出发,利用不同质性透镜、稜镜或自然介质使光发散,纪录下光行进的肌理与其缤纷光谱,将看似寻常的物理状态进行解构,突破我们视觉与知觉想像,并藉由摄影、绘画、异材质印刷、立体装置等不同的媒材表现,给予观者全新体验,由不同的视角望向我们习以为常的事物。

在看似冷调的创作概念背后,实为藉由无形的光影探讨我们感知最深层的意识,芮娜的作品如同自然与科学不断地相应对照。2017年首次于Bluerider ART举办个展,以《Faces of Light》为题,由八件系列作品揭示光的多样面向,将观者置身于稜镜发散多彩的一端。展出作品Afterimage以拍立得(polaroid)拍摄一天四个时间点下光线于晶体中的折射变换,于时刻流转间捕捉光与色彩;An Awareness of Light系列使用具极佳聚光特质的菲涅尔透镜(fresnel lens)蒐集环境光线,并透过特殊印刷技术将成像印製于铝板上,铝板柔和的金属质地不仅映出光的烂漫色泽,同时也使观看当下的光源融入作品本身。「与现在相较,或许孩提时期的我们对于自然有更多的好奇与想像,而这也是艺术与科学发展的原因,我也想藉由创作与我的疑问进行对话」,芮娜不仅以有限的知觉探索无垠的议题,更让他的憧憬引领我们往未知迈进。
