情绪化思考的感性显现
The perceptual present of emotional consideration
在当今这个时代,随着我们审美观念的不断提高,艺术作品已不再是供观赏的少数人物的产品,而日益成为每个个体存在的自我完成的天才意识。艺术作品是什么?它应该是感情自我意识的产物,这意识由于不脱离感性,成为了一种个体的领会,而这种个体性独立的品格以艺术的形式展现,又确乎反映着人类的“共同感”。因而,一件好的艺术作品,总能给人以共鸣,与人的心灵深处相通相合。所以艺术家最重要的就是善于感受生活的种种氛围,特别是具有深刻意义的社会氛围,因为这些氛围能集中表现社会潮流、时代气息、生活的本质。它和人的命运、需要、期待交织在一起,其中包含有炽热的情感、冷静的思考、甚至是实际行动,从而也便在一定程度上揭示了生命的存在状态下的内在人生意味。
Now, art works are no longer a few persona products for admiring but gradually become the talented consciousness accomplished by each individual. What is an art piece? It should be results of self-consciousness. Since this consciousness is related to feelings, it becomes a kind of individual comprehension which is presented by the arts form reflecting the “sympathy” of human beings. Thus, a great art piece could always communicate with the inner mind of humans and result in resonance. So, it is important for artists to be great in the percept of various atmospheres in life, especially the incisive social atmospheres for they could intensively represent the social trends, time tempo and nature of life. Embracing flaming passions, calm meditations and even practical actions, it interlaces with fates, needs and expectations of human beings and thus to some extent brings to light the inner life meaning under the existent living status.
作为美的艺术,它应该是透过形式的找寻和创造,而积淀着生命的力量,时代的激情,从而使此形式自身具有生命、力量和激情,而绘画艺术,恰恰是通过把感性形象的素材经过理性的分析和深入的思考,再回到感性这一出发点的艺术加工,去实现人类生存的最高精神层次,也就是人生的意味,生命的存在和命运的悲伧。为了在人类精神空间中充分感受生命的存在状态,为了带给人们更深层次的哲学思考与生命体验,当代众多艺术家都在不同层面上作种种不同的探索,其中王桂勇 SanJie就是这样一位颇为突出的具有独特艺术面貌的画家。
Fine arts should be the seeking and creation through forms depositing the strength of life and passion of times which are thus endowed to forms. And to realize the supreme spiritual level of human existence-the life meaning, existence and fate grief, painting is actually the art processing which backs to the perceptual point after the rational analysis and deep consideration on the perceptual materials. In order to bring people with deeper philosophy thoughts and life experience and also let people truly feel about the existent status, many contemporary artists strive to explore in many different aspects and among them SanJie is a prominent painter having the peculiar art style.
也就是从近几年开始,王桂勇 SanJie创作了大量的“众生像”系列。在他的画室里,我第一次看到王桂勇 SanJie画的一批头像系列,面对那些颇有夸张意味和强烈表现力的头像,给了我强烈的震撼,一种当下人们精神生存空间的危机感油然而生。此后,这种感觉,在好长时间内挥之不去,也许这种信息正是王桂勇所要向人们传递的,就此而言,不能不说王桂勇 SanJie已取得了一定的成功。
During recent years, SanJie created many series of “man faces”. I went there to visit his studio where I saw for the first time his series of head portraits which were very exaggerative and powerful and gave me strong impacts making me feel the crisis of human spiritual living space. Thereafter, for a very long time this feeling couldn’t be wiped off from my mind and maybe this is the just information which Wang Guiyong want to express to people. So, in viewing this, we could not but say SanJie has already achieved some success.
王桂勇SanJie的这些怪诞的,被现实生活重压和人们对生活虚假的迎合中所呈现给欣赏者的各种表情的百态头像,确实让人感知到了一种对人类生存境遇的深入思考,揭示出当代人们的某种精神状态,也是对当下一群人的生存方式的思考与质疑,《面皮》系列无疑就是对当下人类生存方式思考与质疑的诠释,在生活的重压下,(在王桂勇SanJie的笔下,还是主要针对于城市生活中的某类群体),人们不得不用虚假的面孔去迎合生存,人与人之间的这种虚假交流突破了人们的最后防线——面皮,一张张被生活挤压下的面孔被残酷的现实剥夺的仅仅剩下了一张皮,而这个皮也在被无限制的扭曲……甚至,这种虚假的迎合,使这张仅存在的面皮也没有了容身之地,被积压成了千姿百态的嘴巴,王桂勇SanJie的另一幅创作《生活状态—嘴巴》,各种各样扭曲变形的嘴拥挤不堪的汇在一起……生活的状态到了如此地步,人类的生存空间该是多大危机呀!而这危机并非是真实的物质空间,却是源于人们的精神生活的匮乏,此时,如果我们返过头来,再看一下王桂勇SanJie所画的几幅儿童头像,更令人顿生危机之感,那种看似有几分真实的面目中,从眼睛里透出的却是几分迷茫和虚假,他们也在现实的影响下逐步走向可怕的精神深渊……。
These various absurd head portraits, which although are deeply pressed by life burden but cater to life fakes, really touched people with a deep understanding of human existence and encounters unmasking some spiritual state of contemporary people. And this is also a reflection and suspicion to living ways of nowadays flocks. The “skin of face” series is undoubtedly the reasoning and suspecting on people’s way of living-under heavy burdens in life people can not help but facing life with deceptive faces and this kind of false communication between people breaks through the last line of defense-the skin of face, pieces of faces that are extruded by life are deprived by ruthless realities and remain only skins which are also distorted endlessly…even, this false catering leaves no room to the only existent faces but diversiform mouths. In another painting of him “life status-mouths”, various twisted mouths are jammed together…the living status is up to this point, then what a huge crisis exists in people’s living space. This crisis isn’t the real substantial space but is derived from the poor spiritual life. At this moment, if we go back, to some children’s head portraits of his would bring us even more feelings of crisis for on those seemingly real faces, we could read some perplexity and hypocrisy from their eyes and they are gradually heading to the miserable spirit hell under realistic influences.
面对这些表现力和视觉冲击很强的作品,留给你和使你回味的究竟是什么味道呢?是甜?是酸?是苦?是辣?我们很难用语言描述清楚,只可意会不可言传。生命的真实在哪里?我们该如何去找寻?这样的生存方式又有多大的意义?也许生活的存在状态就是重复、劳作、再重复、再劳作,偶然出现强烈的爱恨情仇,打破生活的乱码,生命的本质就是在这种看似“无意义”的生存中生发“有意义”,从而去体现更深沉的人生意味,通过观看王桂勇的这些人生百态之面孔,难道你不觉得现实有太多的麻木,虽然不可否认也存在莫大的无奈,造成了这样扭曲的生活观,但你不觉得自己也应该负点责去唤醒人们的良知,以此去感受和体悟人生和命运吗?
Facing such strong expressive and visual impact works, what on earth the kind of task remained for you? Sweetness, acid, bitterness or piquancy? It’s hard for us to depict clearly by words but only comprehend some meaning in mind. Where’s the truth of life? How could we find the path to access such truth? And what’s the meaning of this living style? Maybe the state of life is repeating, hard working, repeating again and hard working again, and the occasional strong feelings of love, hatred, passion and enmity are disturbers to the random code of life. The essence of living is the up growing of “meaning” from these seemingly “insignificance” and thus further represent the deeper meaning of life. Couldn’t you sense too much numbness and also great impotence in reality that result in this distorted value of life? And don’t you think you yourself should shoulder some responsibility of waking up the consciences of people to digest life and fate?
从作品本身来看,王桂勇 SanJie的这些创作,确实存在着某种情绪化,在经过深入思考,理性化之后,他还能回到感性的出发点让情绪充分呈现,实在是作为一个画家的难能可贵之处,这种情绪化的感性显现,正是王桂勇SanJie这些作品的动人之处,就此而言,我们可以从中得到一个这样的启示:那就是艺术是表达情感的,只有回到感性才能使感性常新,审美常新,进而艺术常新。王桂勇 SanJie认为:艺术家创作灵感应当植根于他的世俗生活与精神生活中,不过艺术从来不是生活的简单翻版,更不是生活的横向位移,它应是生命情感的象征性形式,既然是象征性的,就必须经过深入思考。之后,他便用简率概括而灵动的笔触让创作顷刻间射出,因此,他的作品大多是大色彩、大笔触,试图在捕捉众生像的最复杂思考,最简单表达的瞬间中揭示形象的潜在意义,或许有人认为此种表达过于原始和简单,但是就是这种简单直接的方式,以感性夸张的风格样式,给了人们以视觉的冲击和震撼,进而拉近了与人类内心深处的——灵魂之间的距离,启发人们在欣赏他此种生命状态的描绘中,去思考我们内在的人生意味。
There exits some emotional things in these works by SanJie who after the rational process of deep consideration could back to the perceptual beginning to fully express emotions. And this is the rarest quality of an artist. This kind of perceptual represent of emotions is just the moving point of his works. So, from this we could get such illumination: art is to express feelings but only the return of emotions could refresh sensibility, taste and further arts. Wang Guiyong believes that the inspiration of artists is rooted in the worldling and spiritual life, but art is never the simple copy of life nor lateral displacement of life. Actually it should be the symbolic form of emotions and since it is symbolic then it has to undergo deep thoughts. Thereafter, he transiently does his paintings by concise and vivid strokes. So most his works are in big colors and strokes trying to gain the most complicated thinking on human portraits and discovering the potential meaning of forms in the simplest expressive moment. Some may think this kind of expression too primitive and simple, but it is this simple straight way and the emotionally extravagant style that catch people by visual storms and then shorten the distance to sole-the deep inner of mankind and enlighten people to think about the meaning of life while appreciating his paintings about life status.
“绘画很难谈,绘画需要看”。以上只不过是我本人对王桂勇作品的一点粗略看法与感受。如果你想了解王桂勇 SanJie,就来看他的画吧!如果你能从中体验到一种生命的存在状态,引发起一点哲学思考,我想这样就够了,这正是王桂勇 SanJie所要向你努力传递的,也正是他所期待的。
“It is hard to talk about art for it needs appreciating” the above is only my views and feelings about works of SanJie. If you want to further understand him, see his painting. I think it is enough if only you could experience some kind of extent living status for it’s just what he expected from the viewers.
