摘要

本文旨在探討當代使用傳統油畫媒材創作中,女性身體與性/別展演的特殊性,以當代女性藝術家珍妮.薩維爾的作品為主,探究藝術家手中性/別元素的操弄,展露出的性別流動和衝突。對薩維爾的創作歷程而言,醫療系統與手術經驗乃是其靈感的源頭,創作出專屬於當代的身體容貌,成為當代女體與跨性別繪畫的重要人物。薩維爾的作品提供觀者一個檢視女體美容、醫療體系與性/別理論三者關係的絕佳機會。性別的本質與建構,究竟不是手術刀可定奪裁斷的,本文將探究這些建立在醫療體系結構下再現出的身體,與被再現的主體之間是否得以縫合,或具有縫隙?並進一步論及當代女性主義者重新強調的身體經驗認同,在作為女性認同政治的支援下,卻以此否定跨性別主體的心理經驗。

關鍵詞

Abstract

In this assay I will discuss the paintings of modern female artist, Jenny Saville, consider the gender-fluid and gender/sexuality conflict emerged by artist's operation of materials about gender/sexuality. Savill plays an important role in the art of modern female body and transgender. For Saville, the system of medical treatment and the surgical experiences inspired her to create the modern body appearances, which provide a chance for reconsider the relation of the plastic surgery, the system of medical treatment, and the gender theory. The scalpel could not govern the essence of gender/sexuality and gender construct; the body represented under the system of medical treatment also could not suture the subject represented. Furthermore, modern femalists re-link the identity to the body experiences as support for female identity politics, but at the same time negate the mental experiences of the subject of transgender.
