作為龍藝榜畫(huà)廊推出的探索80后新銳藝術(shù)精神的系列藝術(shù)展之二，此展覽聚焦具有抽象性傾向的學(xué)院派油畫(huà)家在東方意象和寫(xiě)意傳統(tǒng)烙印下的創(chuàng)新。參展藝術(shù)家包括曾獲中央美院王嘉廉油畫(huà)獎(jiǎng)的陳松濤、謝意、吳以彩和謝磊等。

當(dāng)代中國(guó)藝術(shù)忙于對(duì)付全球化帶來(lái)的各種社會(huì)與個(gè)人問(wèn)題，藝術(shù)題材的社會(huì)化、當(dāng)下化成為潮流，而參加“回到畫(huà)面”新銳群展的藝術(shù)家應(yīng)和了80后對(duì)當(dāng)代熱門(mén)題材的漠然。面對(duì)凌亂的現(xiàn)實(shí)，他們堅(jiān)持詩(shī)化的理想，表現(xiàn)出對(duì)架上繪畫(huà)的抽象體驗(yàn)與中國(guó)感受方式結(jié)合的熱忱，其作品特征是抽象與意象*的融和。東方審美對(duì)神似與氣韻的主觀頓悟，與西方抽象藝術(shù)對(duì)內(nèi)心情緒的通感與宣泄在此匯合，他們以朝圣般的執(zhí)著不懈地在光與影之間追問(wèn)永恒的詩(shī)意，帶領(lǐng)觀眾抵達(dá)愉悅忘我的微妙境界。

陳松濤古代人物作品延續(xù)著中國(guó)文人畫(huà)自然、自在的優(yōu)雅華麗，潑墨般的油彩和礦物材料中冬梅、夏荷、雪松、白鷺、仕女、漁翁等在歷史沉積的斑駁中凸現(xiàn)，源于東方寫(xiě)意的水暈?zāi)某橄笕の逗臀娜藲忭嵲谟彤?huà)中浮雕般被強(qiáng)化，古典意象和神韻流動(dòng)變幻，在畫(huà)面中可以感受到夏荷匆促的凋零和雪中寒梅的清徹暗香。

作為迷戀搖滾酒吧文化的藝術(shù)青年，謝意作品對(duì)酒吧中的流行因素與西方符號(hào)視而不見(jiàn)，她的興趣在于幽光醉態(tài)中閃爍的酒杯旁落寞的青年、穿透心扉的弦樂(lè)器中歌手的嚎叫。音樂(lè)、光線、人物和內(nèi)心的激情組成的抽象印象通過(guò)刮痕、涂抹，刀一般的雕刻出意象與抽象交錯(cuò)的復(fù)雜情緒和畫(huà)面效果。作品濃烈飽滿，爆裂的光彩充滿張力，雕琢出歌者忘我深情的瞬間，在最后稀薄的理想主義的虛幻里長(zhǎng)夢(mèng)未央。

吳以彩(生于1979年)敏感豐富的女性世界縈繞著夢(mèng)幻般的微妙光影，書(shū)寫(xiě)自如，氣韻噴薄，畫(huà)面情趣橫生、微妙而詩(shī)意，顯示了女藝術(shù)家高貴心靈與技法的默契和升華，華麗中閃耀純美的柔情。

目前遠(yuǎn)赴法國(guó)研習(xí)抽象藝術(shù)的謝磊豪情恣肆地描述了中國(guó)的混沌太虛世界，生命如星辰爆發(fā)后的微粒，融于虛幻中，以抽象形式顯示了中國(guó)哲學(xué)的恢宏意境。他對(duì)思辨精神的學(xué)術(shù)興趣顯示了先鋒派對(duì)中國(guó)抽象藝術(shù)深入探索的執(zhí)著。

他們企圖擺脫浮世喧囂，對(duì)畫(huà)面苦心孤詣地經(jīng)營(yíng)，追尋中國(guó)寫(xiě)意傳統(tǒng)中的抽象性（筆墨、肌理、痕跡等）在油畫(huà)的繪畫(huà)性趣味的營(yíng)造；“似與不似之間”的中國(guó)式朦朧意象與西方抽象精神的融和，在其畫(huà)面上產(chǎn)生精妙純粹的視覺(jué)盛宴，流露出學(xué)院派精英對(duì)中國(guó)文人畫(huà)的超然風(fēng)骨的渴望。

注：意象主義作為發(fā)軔于上世紀(jì)20年代英美精英詩(shī)歌運(yùn)動(dòng)，不主張對(duì)客觀現(xiàn)實(shí)的機(jī)械反映，拒絕直接表達(dá)主觀的情感，而是用意象約束感情。“意象是一團(tuán)相交融的思想，富有活力。” 意象主義受到東方詩(shī)學(xué)和思維觀念的深刻影響。如唐代詩(shī)人杜牧“娉娉裊裊十三余，豆蔻梢頭二月初。”

80后新銳藝術(shù)系列展之二?作品展覽

Back to Canvas, the Poetry Between Abstract and Imagism.
Post-80s avant-garde artists series exhibitions Phrase II

Jan 3st-Feb 30, 2007

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
By Ezra Pound

This is the second part of post-80s artists series launched by Amelie Gallery, exploring new shifts of focus of Chinese avant-garde, shedding light on what will impact on the contemporary Chinese art scene in the very immediate future.

Against the impact of globalization, subjects of contemporary Chinese art is in a flustered manner responding to social and personal problems, while this show represents a group of Post-80s artists (Xie Yi, Chen SongTao, Wu YiCai, Xie Lei etc.) who realize that contemporary is only temporary. From chaotic and superficial realities, they decide to retreat back to canvas, their ambition as oil painters is more concerned with something of eternal quality.

Influenced by the abstract heritage in Chinese freehand brushworks, they pursue innovative breakthrough on abstract paintings, which can be summarized as integration of abstract and imagism; the later represents a realistic and emotional complex in an instant of time, a sudden liberation, an oriental way of visualization in Chinese psychological system.

Chen SongTao exhibits his award-winning works (Charles B.Wang Oil Painting Scholarship at Central Academy) based on classic Chinese imageries like winter plum, summer lotus, snow pine, fisherman, aigrette and the lady, in which he distills and magnifies abstract beauty of Chinese freestyle brushworks tradition to amazing novelty and intensity.

Xie Yi’s works were inspired by visits to pubs where live rock bands played every evening. In the dimly lit bar, she saw faces, bodies, and expressions seemingly immersed in the darkness. She was moved by the sequins on dresses, collars, sleeves and braces that twinkled with light, creating the impression that they had left their owners and were floating in the air. Expressing it as “hope without purpose, remembrance without memories, and presence without existence”, Xie Yi creates engaging abstract tension on rock, youth, dreams and illusions.

In female artist Wu YiCai (born in 1979)’s world, vulnerability and fragile female sensations, hidden in delicate shadows and lightings, demonstrate her elegant styles coherently responsive to a sensitive heart.

Xie lei (who is researching western abstract in Paris) create dynamism of form and emotion in abstract style, Chinese philosophical vision to chaos and universe makes his work uniquely Chinese.

These artists are intellectually mature and critical, they elevate reality with poetry, uplift boredom to aesthetics excitement, engaged in exploring Chinese way to abstract purity, leading us to a place that is more desirable and cozy than the hard reality.

Note: Imagism, a literary movement launched by British and American poets early in the 20th century, which was profoundly influenced by oriental poetry, most notably the four-line Chinese lyric.
