摩訶婆娑世界的夢幻島

 2006-2009

《摩訶婆娑世界的夢幻島》的主角，是永遠不會長大的男孩小飛俠彼得潘，象徵了保持著人性中永遠的純真與夢想，五尊姿態神情衣摺手勢各異的彼得潘，在場域中分座在東南西北中五個方位，以他無敵的純真與熱情守護著藝術家心中的夢幻島，每一位彼得潘都有獨具風格的座騎：放大成萬倍異獸的昆蟲─獨角仙、鍬形蟲、大黃蜂、星天牛、大蜻蜓……等，這些昆蟲，是楊茂林在小男孩時代最奇幻特異、最具有吸引力的玩具，在此把他們全部放大，徹底釋放了藝術家從孩童時代累積至今的興奮感。而虎克船長與他的死敵鱷魚，在這裡以飛天舞、樂伎的身分搭配登台，共同完成楊茂林心目中《摩訶婆娑世界的夢幻島》的全景。

 

The Wonderland in Saha World of Maha ｜ 2006-2009

The main character in The Wonder Island in the Land of Maha series is Peter Pan, the boy who will never grow up. Peter Pan symbolizes the enduring innocence and inspiration of childhood. In this series, the five variously postured Peter Pans are placed at the north, the south, the east, the west, and the center, guarding Yang Mao-lin wonderland with impeccable enthusiasm and passion. Each of them is riding on a significantly enlarged insect: a unicorn beetle, a stag beetle, a wasp, a long-horn beetle and a dragonfly, all of which kept him fascinated throughout his childhood.  By enlarging these insects, Yang Mao-lin feels as if decades of pent-up energy and excitement was finally released all at once. Captain Hook and his arch enemy, Crocodile, emerge here in the images of Apsara and Devata to give my wonderland the perfect finishing touch.
