后現代的迷情與幻影
80后新銳藝術系列展之三
龍藝榜畫廊
策展人：托尼
2007年3月1日至4月30日
懷疑、自我、自相矛盾是80后青年的心理特征，在其藝術創作中表現出帶有主觀色彩的強烈的非理性力量。龍藝榜80后新銳藝術展之三的藝術家許碩、姜川、張姍姍等共同顯示了獨特的后現代復雜性，其題材和繪畫形式上在歷史與當代、現實與潛意識之間恣意沖撞，閃爍出生猛而粗礫的顛覆性。
許碩迷戀于私秘化地對歷史的批判性思索和游戲式的后現代主義顛覆。絢麗的粉紅色彩云之上出嫁的七仙女半裸酮體、手持象征少女純潔的百合，面紗后的眼神卻是現代女人才有的大膽與曖昧。許碩雄心勃勃的歷史寓言蘊涵著神奇的詩意、反諷，在當代語境下迸射出生猛的爆發力。
曾榮獲全國美術學院畢業生作品金獎的姜川在宋代山水背景上的悲情戲劇顯示出源于中央美院壁畫系的藝術家對畫面構造、質地肌理等繪畫性方面學院派的精致與考究。傳統圖式中戲子的脂粉紅顏和秋波明眸在永恒彌堅的山水之間朦朧動人，緊張、絢麗、刻意的聚焦不清晰、圖像化傾向與作品中戲劇化情感的極度張力相結合，貼切、恰當地隱寓古典精神如鏡花水月般的憔悴凋零，是經典淪落的傷情挽歌。
清純的女性藝術家張姍姍畫面卻是印象派和表現主義的精致與狂野的混合，浪漫的女性生活題材于平靜中流露野性，在優雅中暗示荒謬。女人與蜥蜴等作品中對變形的趣味、非理性的熱情暗示當代年輕女性心理世界的多樣性與復雜性。
“所謂現代既是所有時代與之并存。” 此展覽的藝術家具有多元的藝術觀念和意識形態，他們以當代映射歷史，從潛意識角度逼近現實。個人風格強烈，卻難以界定、拒絕訴說、游移不定，他們主觀、內省，試圖審視內心之井的詭秘微瀾，神秘的反光折射出在當代全球化的社會、文化的洶涌變革面前變幻莫測的自我的影子。
Shadow and Illusion of Postmodern Fantasy
Post-80s avant-garde artists series exhibitions Phrase III
Amelie Gallery
Curator: Tony Chang
March 1st -April 30th, 2007
Self-contradiction, subjectivity are mentalities of post-80s young generation. Reflected in their art, they exercise a vigorous, irrational approach with subject matters ranging from history to presence, reality to sub-consciousness. In phrase III of Amelie Gallery’s post-80s artists’ exhibition, participating artists Xu Shuo, Jiang Chuan and Zhang ShanShan etc. demonstrate playful and disruptive postmodern fantasy.
Oil painter Xu Shuo is ambitious in his ironic adventure questioning conventional perception of Chinese tradition. Half-naked fairy lady in Chinese folktales rides on pink clouds, holding lily flowers (symbol of female innocence), hidden behind her veiling, shadiness in her eyes are as confrontational as modern women. In Xu Shuo’s privately-decoded new fairytales, outrageous poetry and absurdity interlace, bursting with raw vigor.
Golden Award Winner of 2006 National Art Academies Graduates exhibition, Jiang Chuan paints Chinese opera actress against classic landscape paintings of Song Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.). With an unfocused visual treatment, artist put actress on semi-transparent, illusional surface just like fading ancient mural paintings; the emotion is intensive, sentimental and fragile.
Female artist Zhang ShanShan demonstrates interlaced balance between impressionism and expressionism, her portrayal of intimate female existence is peaceful but bizarre, pleasant whilst striking, which echo the diversity and complexity of modern feminism.
These artists transform history through presence, distort reality with subconscious mirror, and engage themselves in self-indulgent pleasure gazing at the shadow and illusion that are subtle reflection of ideological fragmentation of modern China.
