深圳美术馆将于2020年6月5日举办“物相——郑孟梅个展”。
郑孟梅毕业于湖北美术学院，现工作生活于北京和深圳。其作品以绘画为基础，同时置入现成品，或者把二维平面的画布物化，在绘画中植入装置与雕塑语言，制造了一种真假莫辨的错觉。作品对蓝色与深灰色调的偏好以及有序排列的几何形体，给人以静谧且理性的形式感，但进入作品的真实语境，会发现形式的表象之下隐藏着激烈的情感世界，包括艺术家给作品的命名，亦包含着生活与情感的隐喻。后现代都市表象之下，隐藏着城市人情感的真实面——真实、时尚、具体，但是又荒诞、魔幻、抽象！郑孟梅作品中二元对立式的并置实际是一种直面冲突的尝试。就语言学而言，该系列作品亦颇有意味。深圳是移民城市，很多艺术家从外地汇聚到深圳并在深圳扎根之后，不约而同地开始从原有的写实、表现或者传统画风转向了抽象表达，而郑孟梅该系列作品恰恰处于一种过渡性的中间地带，从中可以见出一个区域的语言学脉络，正如抽象绘画发轫之初至上主义画家所作的探索与尝试。

在日益显著异化的现代社会，对物、意识及存在三者之间交互关系的判断基于其本身的巨大变化需要跳出既有认知去重新考量。英国经验主义哲学家贝克莱认为“存在即被感知”，存在基于先验性的或者既有的认知经验。但人和意识的物化以及社会的异化重建了旧有秩序，感知与真实之间日益产生巨大差异，当代艺术很多时候正是基于这种差异追问表象背后的真实或者挑战并解构固有的认知经验。郑孟梅的作品正是基于这种感知与真实之间差异的探讨。

对物与空间的探讨在进一步异化的现代社会中还将不断地深入，对于郑孟梅而言，把物相置于画面中，是通过物相隐喻内心情感，或者，也是一个解缚的过程，是一种对自身存在的反思或者认知的重构。郑孟梅的作品正是基于感知与真实之间差异的探讨。
本次展览将持续到6月14日。

Zheng Mengmei graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Arts and currently lives and works in Beijing and Shenzhen. Her works are based on paintings, while placing ready-made products, or materializing a two-dimensional plane canvas, that is, implanting installations and sculptural language in the paintings, creating an illusion of truth and falseness. These works mostly use blue and dark grey tones and orderly arranged geometric shapes, which give people a sense of quiet and rational form. But when you enter the real context of the work, you will find that there is an intense emotional world hidden under the appearance of the form-even the artist's name for the work contains a metaphor for life and emotion. Under the surface of the post-modern city, the real face of the urban people's feelings is hidden-truth, fashion, concrete, but absurd, magic, abstract! The dual juxtaposition of juxtaposition in Zheng Mengmei's works is an attempt to face the conflict. From a linguistic point of view, this series of works is also very meaningful. Shenzhen is an immigrant city. After many artists gathered in Shenzhen and lived in Shenzhen, they began to move from their original realism, expression or traditional style of painting to abstract interpretation. Zheng Mengmei's series of works is precisely in a transitional middle zone, from which a regional linguistic context can be seen, just as the initial stage of the development of abstract painting, the explorations and attempts made by the supremacist painters.
折叠空间Folding-Space-装置油画--30X60cm-2016
In a modern society that is becoming more and more alienated, due to the tremendous changes in itself, our judgment of the interaction between the three things, consciousness and existence, needs to jump out of the existing cognition to reconsider. British empiricist philosopher Berkeley believes that "to be is to be perceived", which suggests there is a priori or existing cognitive experience. However, the materialization of people and consciousness and the alienation of society has rebuilt the old order, resulting in a vast difference between perception and reality. Contemporary art is often based on this difference to question the reality behind the appearance or challenge and deconstruct the inherent cognitive experience. Zheng Mengmei's works are based on this discussion of the difference between perception and reality.
The discussion about object and space will continue to deepen in modern society with further alienation. As far as Zheng Mengmei is concerned, putting the Appearance in the picture metaphorically expresses the inner emotion, or, it is also a process of unbundling, which is a reflection or cognition reconstruction of its existence. Zheng Mengmei's works are based on the discussion of the difference between perception and reality.
