前言：
吞食光芒
马琼和孟阳阳都是80后的新生代，两个有着强烈自我经验和直觉的女性艺术家，她们描绘着儿童般天真烂漫的世界，充满了自由的气息。作品以个人情境和心境作为创作出发点，试图向观众展示女性艺术家内心敏感的一面以及外在的豪放。
她们的作品呈现出一个时代的人的心理状态，敏感、顽强、以自我为中心，作品中找不到中国艺术的主流语境对他们的影响，摆脱了当代艺术的符号象征。抛弃中国当代的创作依据，在潜意识里无视长久形成的市场和学术价值观，这是当代的社会环境和这一代人的自身勇气决定的。她们的创作自由地穿梭于个人的意识形象中，体现了个体精神感知与当代社会全球化的相抗衡，对新价值的追索和确证充满热情。她们试图整合童年的各种画面，并对它们进行碎片式的理解，建立另一种想象之中的新的“情感叙事”，从而呈现出某种独特的艺术气质。
把不同的两个艺术家放在一起时，能看出80后的人们对生活、历史、记忆、梦境以及未来的想象，体现个人意识的存在状态，这个艺术发展中的个例恰恰为学术研究提供了有力的线索。也许他们并没有对历史进行全面的重新审视，但她们有着与生俱来的叛逆与复杂的生存环境，企图建立自身发展的文脉，摆脱了狭隘的社会形态纷争，折射出了后社会主义时代人类心理的转变，以个人理念和目标为核心的意识形态的转变，在这种转变中，属于这一代人自身的价值观念被悄然塑造。
Ma Qiong and Meng Yangyang are the new generation of the post-80s. These two female artists have strong instincts and self-experience. They portray a world of innocent children, full of an atmosphere of freedom. Their work is based on personal situations and they use their state of mind as a creative starting point. They try to show the audience the sensitivity of women artists, as well as their external heroism.
Their works show the psychological state of a generation; sensitive, tenacious and self-centered. Mainstream contemporary art have not had an impact on their works. You will not see the typical Chinese images, such as Tiananmen Square, Mao Zedong, as well as a number of other negative images. They have abandoned the base of Chinese contemporary art and ignored the formation of market and academic values which has formed over a long time in the subconscious of previous artists. The works are created from their social environment and their own courage. Their creativity captures the spirit of individual perception. They express their response through their own spirit of individual perception to the globalization of contemporary society; full of passion to present new values. They have tried to integrate a variety of images of childhood and comprehend these fragments. They seek to establish a new impression of the "emotional narrative", showing a unique artistic style.
These two different artists’ works capture the spirit of life in the post-80s. This is presented in the way they think about history, memories, dreams and their imagination of the future. They have reflected the existence of a state of personal awareness. This example precisely provides the evidence for academic research in the developing art world. Maybe they did not re-examine the comprehensive history because they come from a birthright of rebellion and complex environment. But they attempt to create a context for self-development, out of narrow social forms of dispute. It reflects the changing of psychology of the post-socialist era. The core of the change is philosophy and objectives of their personal ideology. Such a change belongs to this generation's own values which are quietly developing.
