Nail It! 將濃濃台灣味、九份情釘到位的釘畫藝術大師胡達華

拿起鐵皮剪刀，剪下啤酒罐上的小片色塊，先用鐵鎚敲平，再釘到檜木板上，胡達華用鐵鎚當畫筆，各色的金屬片當顏料，在木板上釘出一幅幅他記憶中的山城九份。這手技法在國際鮮見，他曾應邀到美國、日本、中國大陸、韓國辦展、教學，更曾榮獲朱銘長青藝術創作獎與「南瀛美展」視覺設計佳作等獎項，是正宗台灣出品的釘畫大師。

Tinsnips in hand, he slices a beer can into small pieces, which he then hammers flat and finally nails to a wooden board. Hu Dar­far, using a mallet as his brush, metal shards as his pigments, and a wooden board as his canvas, produces images of the mountain town of Jiu­fen as it exists in his memory. This master of metallic art, truly an authentic product of Taiwan, is a global outlier in using this unusual technique, and he has been invited to exhibit or teach in the US, Japan, mainland China, and Korea.

「釘子是我的畫筆、鋁鐵是我的水彩、老虎鉗是我的橡皮擦。」高齡八旬，無師自通獨創釘畫的九份釘畫藝術家胡達華邊釘邊解說他的作畫工具。雖已80多歲，但他如孩童般的赤子之心，讓他的創作展現豐富的生命力。
