谣——张炜个展
张炜的近期绘画表现出作者对现实和历史的独到认识。看似单纯的画面却蕴涵着丰富的表现力。他似乎乐于设计一系列荒诞又真实的事件场景，在单纯和大量留百的画面上悠然自得地发生。这些事件中的人物熟悉而陌生，似乎是童年的缩影，又象是现实状态下的另一个自我。而在画面中所遭遇到的却是在现实中所熟悉但又永远不会发生的事件片段。他通过这一些极为荒诞嘲讽甚至是童话般的发生来刺激人们的记忆神经，现实中为我们所知的真实事件在多大程度上能符合原有的真实？我们怎能区别现代媒体，数字模拟技术对真实的仿照，复制乃至重构？历史的真实又是在多大程度上为我们把握？张炜用荒诞的真实提示着我们重新审视我们周围的发生和我们对过去的认识。

Ghost, complex, alone - A solo exhibition by Zhang Wei
Zhang Wei’s recent works expressed his recognition for reality as well as history. From his simple composition, the artist was actually well knitting a series of ridiculous as yet real events. Amid the majority of whiteness, stories were told so naturally and amply. In his stories, the charactors seem to be so familiar as well as strange, epitome of childhood or another ego of reality. What appears on his canvases is in fact very familiar in reality but never actually happened. The arist stimulates the audiences’ memories with this seemingly absurd but childish sarcasm. How believable are those so-called true events we have heard about?
How can we distinguish the truthfulness of many things which could so easily be modified, reproduced or re-created by digital technology or simulation? To what extent is history to our control? Zhang Wei’s works remind us to re-exam what have happened around us & re-discover what have happened in the past.
