YU PENG’S WORLD OF ROCK PAINTINGS
岩彩画，是一种古老而全新的绘画艺术，它以天然矿物石色和高温结晶颜料为材料，以传统动物胶为媒介，其丰富斑斓的色彩、鲜艳晶莹的色泽、独特的画面质感和肌理感给人以强烈的视觉冲击。它起源于中国古代绘画，有着千年的历史，是在中国写意水墨兴起之前的中国主流绘画。从新石器时代原始的摩崖壁画到后来的帛画、宫廷壁画、墓室壁画以及石窟壁画等等都可以看到岩彩的表现。可是到了近代，国人似乎忘记了它，而岩彩画在进入日本后，在漫长的岁月中经历了容纳、吸收、融和、创新的过程，已逐渐发展成为日本的国画和主流。
Rock painting is an old yet brand new art. With natural mineral color and high-temperature crystal pigment as material and animal glue as media, it bursts visually with rich colors, transparent tone, unique texture and luster. Originating from ancient Chinese paintings, colored rock painting, boasting a history of a thousand years, once was a dominating category in China before the rise of Chinese ink-wash painting. The earliest colored rock painting was found on the prehistoric rock paintings of New Stone Age, as well as in paintings on silk, mural of royal court, mural in the grave and grotto. In modern times it seems to have faded out of people’s memory, while in Japan rock painting has been honored as national painting and domestic mainstream after having experienced the long process of integration and innovation since its arrival.
艺术家于澎，是一位旅日八年，并在日本获得艺术学(绘画)博士学位的实力派画家。他在日本留学期间，系统地学习了日本岩彩画的新技法及新思维，将其与中国传统文化精神相结合，创作出一系列以花鸟、风景为主要题材的岩彩画作品。此次展出的作品是艺术家多年来在岩彩画艺术道路上的探索成果，其中包括在日本参加并入选日展、日春展、万叶集日本画大赏展、京展等的作品。
The artist, Yu Peng, also Associate Professor at Tongji University, has earned his Ph. D. of Arts (Painting) during his eight years in Japan. Yu’s systematical exploration in new techniques and concepts of rock painting in Japan and attempts to connect it with Chinese traditional culture heritage collectively support his creation of colored rock painting of birds, flowers and landscape series. This exhibition celebrates the artist’s fruitful exploration over years in the field of colored rock painting, including the artist’s past selections in “Japan Fine Arts Exhibition”, “Japan Spring Fine Arts Exhibition”, “Leaves Collection: Nihonga Exhibition”, and “Kyoten Exhibition” held in Japan.
于澎的作品融和写意水墨和岩彩绘画之特长，写实中蕴含写意，具象中结合抽象，注重画面的和谐完整和生命气息的表现，形成了自身独特的视觉表达语言。他以人生和自然为视点，作品中有对人生的沉静的思考和感悟，也有对自然中的一花一草的抒情优美的描写；有笔触细腻凝重的刻画，也有恣意纵横的写意泼墨。在风格上，有的作品酣畅淋漓，粗犷简练，直抒胸臆，有的则含蓄内敛，细致入微，回味无穷……但是所有的作品都共同贯穿了艺术家的一个永恒的主题――生命力的表现，静默的画面竟会使人感觉到朦胧的空气，风的拂动，雾的流淌，黄昏的暮霭，暗香的袭来，花草的摇曳……岩彩这一传统又新颖的颜料，给艺术家提供了更大的艺术表现空间，使艺术家原本丰富的艺术语言得到了更充分地表达。
Yu Peng’s works successfully integrate the artistic strength of both freehand ink-wash painting and colored rock painting. By blending abstract tone with representation, his characteristic visual devices bring the aura of harmony, nature, and vitality to the fore. Focusing on life and nature in general, his works provide sober observation over life, as well as lyric descriptions of grass and flowers in the nature, sometimes through thick yet still delicate strokes, sometimes through free splashing figure ink. The variety of styles provides an everlasting enjoyment from a wild, clear-cut, emotional, yet controlled world of art. But his works all points to an everlasting theme, that is, representation of “life”. This traditional yet new art form, rock painting, has allowed the artist a greater freedom to fully use his artistic devices to render us a wonderland with half-transparent air, the flow of fog and wind, hue of sunset, the dancing grasses and flowers, and even the aromatic smell of the nature, all coming to life in these silent pictures.
这次展出，透过艺术家的眼向大家展示了一个美丽清新而又深邃浓郁的岩彩画的世界。希望通过这些作品，展现岩彩画的魅力，把自然的美和生命的气息传达并渗透到每一位观赏者的心中。艺术家于澎还将用毕生的精力去不断拓展岩彩画的世界，以期探求出一条中国当代绘画的表现的新途径，使岩彩画这一古老而又珍贵的艺术形式在中国重新焕发出绚丽的光彩。
This exhibition showcases a beautiful, fresh and profound world of rock painting through the artist’s eyes. Hopefully the works can fully display the glamour of this art form and convey the nature’s beauty and life’s breathing to each viewer. As an artist YU Peng is going to spend his whole lifetime and energy on exploring the world of rock painting, aiming to search for a new road in contemporary painting and restore this ancient and valuable artistic form to glory in China. |
