拍品資料及來源

森蘇 · 阿里凡的繪畫作品探討印度尼西亞的中等教育制度。隨著印尼經濟發展,居民的財富收入顯著增加。然而,森蘇 · 阿里凡認爲潛在已久的的社會問題相對削弱了印尼在國際舞臺獲得更多成功的機會。因此,他以系列作品作為解決社會問題的催化劑,例如此幅《灑滿一地的字》繼續探討同上話題,森蘇 · 阿里凡強調完善社會各界互惠關係的先決條件,是確保年輕的新一代擁有穩定的生存環境。

《灑滿一地的字》出現的2號鉛筆,與森蘇 · 阿里凡其他同類作品的主題相近。校園裏最普通的鉛筆,在畫家的想象力下, 轉化為交流知識的媒介,一個能使孩子們譜寫自己未來的萬能工具。此幅畫的鉛筆亦是畫家提倡高等教育的捍衛戰士,鉛筆把一大堆字母從筆尖傾吐出來,聚集成一連串無法解讀的話語。

鉛筆尾部印有智商(IQ)、情商(EQ)及安商(SQ)的縮寫標題,這些量度心靈發展的指數均被成年人運用到孩子們身上。智商與情商在學術界廣爲人知,這兩者概念已扎根在孩童們的學習環境中,兒童很容易受到這種程式化的評估方案影響。

最後提出的安商(SQ)即安全商數,常見於科學領域,涉及醫學或工程學。森蘇 · 阿里凡通過這個概念暗喻印尼的教學制度未能提供學生安全感,因爲他們始終沒有替學生建立起牢固的心靈基礎來支撐智力與體魄的不斷滋長。

人好奇的是《灑滿一地的字》不見布娃娃Goni 的蹤影,這布娃娃原是森蘇 · 阿里凡改變自我形態的替身。Goni亦可扮演任何人,畫家常透過其敍述性的繪畫形式表現出來。 布娃娃的缺席加劇了此畫的孤獨氛圍,同時帶出尖銳的諷刺意味。此外,森蘇 · 阿里凡用偷換概念的方法,把《灑滿一地的字》的詞義套用到新的觀念中,打斷觀衆對此標語的慣用聯想。

此幅《灑滿一地的字》警惕群衆需正視校園教育和知識普及的重要性。再次説明每個個體都有權利接受中等教育,藉次途徑開創未來。森蘇 · 阿里凡在此畫作中的特意隱身更是表明立場,他認爲提供公民平等的教育機會是政府的責任。政府積極施政,方能確保普及教育的推行。
