心灵中特有的片段——评论家眼里的贾穹
贾穹是一个持续地在画布上构建生命梦想的画家。生命的丰盈、神秘、力量与美好,是他多年来创作中反复吟唱的主题。写实且略带表现性的手法为画家所熟练地掌握与使用,那些鲜艳的色彩、洒脱的笔触、精确的造型、疏密得当的画面构成,向我们展现了画家绘画基本功的扎实和才情的一面。尽管贾穹绘画的内容通常是梦幻的、超现实的,但由于他是以平实的方式进行描绘,这就使得他的作品在形式上具有另一种绘画的真实感。
——上海美术馆学术部 江梅
有一位西方的艺术史学家曾说过,一切艺术都是对远古的、朦胧的东西的回忆,艺术家心灵之中的片段始终同这些来自久远的东西须臾不离。对贾穹来说也是如此,贾穹不一定熟悉他们思想、著作,但他‘心灵中特有的片段’与那些不朽哲人的思想果实有着同样的土壤,来自同一个源流。”
——中国油画学会常务理事 水天中 《生命状态——一个画家的记忆和幻想》

镜中影像
贾穹
人生如镜。
镜反射出人生环境、成长心理、社会影响以及造化弄人。
镜中影像,意境,呈现于画面,局限的表达与阶段性的思考,美学与现象。
二十年来艺术创作的历程改变着与此相关联的人生成长。原本幻想第一自然与人性的崇尚到商业时代人与商品价值的依存与矛盾、人的价值、商品的价值乃至人生或者个人、民族、国家的演化与命运,又及橱窗呈现于画面,眼睛所见映于脑,变于情,感于心。
少年蒙昧的成长,无限希望,各种可能,徘徊于废园的青春,贫困中的爱情与回忆,商品改变性情的欲望与理想。现实价值挤压所剩无几的时间,仿佛身染沥青,忘却原本属于自己生命物种的颜色,诸多元素粘满身体与心灵的周遭。
又见草原,回归的路途,投身于自然四季的怀抱,离弃当代文明与未实现的城市理想。在兴安盟辽阔和坚忍的土地上,草原上的人们,白狼的灵魂,构建中的家庭,未来不能实现却永存于心的路程、蒙古啊……寻求与渴望,片刻出现在面前,转瞬即逝,莽莽迷途与未来,不再回来。
多少次欲弃笔从戎,小战多多,身受重伤又回到艺路、沉默绘画仿佛修行。圆明园的挣扎,海淀的流浪,慕尼黑的创作,仿佛梦境,中国美术少年又将怎样,CBD早期单人房的公司到企业集团化,哈尔滨的冬季,齐齐哈尔城市,离异。北京啊北京,博尔济吉特的孩子,宋庄画家村空荡荡的房间,辽阔美丽的绿色之海,艰苦草原上的人们,构建中的空中家庭。再回艺途,深感疲惫,命运又把我荡回,不能再从事其它……
改革变化中,时代的关口,辉煌的封建文明,百年屈辱后的璀璨,商品社会交易的灯火……东方将再崛起于世界……
橱窗盛载于物,影像于眼,人与社会,偶人摆布。
萨满的内容对于当代社会中的我,尽以蒙昧,仿佛血液中流淌着萨满生与悲情,爱与憎。这就是我早期的绘画片面表达自身难注解的谜团。
萨满与欧亚的历史,阿尔泰通古斯潜藏于内心的希望,匈奴、鲜卑、契丹、女真、蒙古、朝鲜和日本,满作为被改造者而存留于世的后裔历史,如台阶般一层层一步步把延续推向虚空之中……
真实与虚幻之间
贾穹
在现实与虚幻的无限范围内,诸多谜一般的事物引起人们无限的遐想。 面对这扑朔迷离的世界, 一种价值观和责任感驱使着我,艰难而诚实地求索, 并把艺术形式看作是精神世界的表达,在象征、隐喻的空间里,透过视觉的触角,领悟人对于生命的持久关注,进而通过艺术表现力使其持久地再现。
橱窗偶人和水沫偶人是我目前使用的载体,我的作品中形态和表情的多样性会引发观者不同的解读,所绘之物不一定完全存在于现实,但体现了我的主观意图。
在人类漫长的历史和社会演变中,橱窗作为它特有的符号涵盖着所盛载物象的破灭与繁荣,相逢与分离,金钱与真理,情感在生命中的虚无以及充实…… 雨后迷离的橱窗,偶人和摆放的各种商业元素,唤起不一样的人的不一样的情感。怎样的交易,怎样的奢华,怎样的璀璨,怎样的摆脱不掉的城市人的感伤……仿佛象征人类漫长的历史在时间中凝固,人们苦难的命运,人生的无奈和身陷囹圄般的不自由。
水沫偶人影映着生命,光怪陆离的未知水面托举着它所有附着的生命和浮来之物,人对于玩偶的同情折射着着人本身同样的遭遇,水沫上闪烁其间的波光被浓情所笼罩着。那水沫中漂泊的玩偶在每一个不同的境遇、每一个不同的时间,引起人们不同的情感。去向哪里,最终的归期,悬浮于水中的迷离波光,怎样的幸福、怎样的逃离、怎样的放纵、怎样的随波逐流,怎样的消失于黑暗亦或升华到光明。
不直接性的表达、象征的意义,系列的效果以及在生命创作中的争取完善和追求终极。日月欲明,浮云盖之;河水欲清,沙石秽之;人性欲平,嗜欲害之,玻璃物象与人的隔阂,橱窗模特与商品对于人的引诱和挑衅,反射在物象表面的真实与虚假,精神与肉体的欲望所呈现出的痛苦,商品世界里人们之间的交易,诱惑和距离,最后的虚无和浮华,象征着摆脱不掉的当代人所处的现状和情感,以及东西方文化的碰撞、交融乃至和谐共处。
Special Segment In Heart
Jia Qiong In Critics’ Eyes
Jia Qiong is an artist who continues to construct dream of life on the canvas. Life, which is rich, mystic, powerful and beautiful, is his favorite theme repeating on his canvas in recent years.
Realism and expressionism are skillfully used by him. It shows us his talent and basic skill by its bright color, handsome brush, exact model and the appropriate space. His work has a different realistic sense in its form because it was described in a mild way, although their content is often dreamlike and surrealistic.
By Jiang Mei
Academy Department of Shang Hai Art Museum
An art historian said art is memory on ancient and dim things, which segments in artist heart always follow closely to. To Jia Qiong, it is too. He maybe doesn’t familiar with their thoughts and works, but the “special segment in his heart” derived from the same origin with the immortal philosopher.

Image Behind Mirror
Jia Qiong
Life is like mirror.
By which surrounding of people, growing psychology, influence by the society and the nature creation can be reflected.
Art has changed life state of human for the last twenties years, which are presented on canvas through shopwindows. What saw by eyes reflected in brain, changed the mind, moving the heart. Commodity has changed desire and ideal, the momory for love in poverish, youth wandering in the deserted gardern, spaceless hope and various capabilities. Reality pressed against time. People were like dyed by asphsltum and forgot their origin color.
Caught sight of grassland again, devoted into embrace of nature, and gave up contemporary culture and unconsummated ideal of city. People on the grassland, white wolf, family in the process of constructing, Mongolia. Never went back from the wrong path.
Many times I have given up brush to fight, but injured badly and came back again, painting silently like beliefe. Struggling in Yuan Ming Yuan art village, wandering in Hai Dian, painting in Munich, all those are like dream. And then from small company in CBD to collectivized company, the winter in Haerbin, Qi Qi haer, devorce. Beijing, the son of Bo-Er-Ji-Ji-Te (a household of Man), empty studio of songzhuang, beautiful green sea, people on the grassland, family in the air. Came back to art, I will never engage in others.
In the prosess of reform, pass of time, splendish after centuries humiliation, lights of commodity transaction, east will grow up in the world again.
The content of shaman to me is ignorant. I feel sadness, love and hatress of shaman are flowing in my body. This is what I expressed in my earlier work, the puzzles difficult to interpret.
The history of shaman and Eurasian, the desire of Altay Tungus, Hun, Xianbei, Khitan, Juchen, Mongolia, Korea and Japan, Man has survived after modification, which like the stairs went to none step by step, layer by layer.
Between the Reality and Transience
Jia Qiong
Many puzzles brought people imagination both in reality and transience space. I was propelled by a responsibility to pursue hardly and honestly. And regard art as spirit, through which we can read life and then re-create it everlastingly by simbol and metapher way.
Shopwindow dolls and foam dolls are the carriers whose style may initiate different interpretations from the spectators. What I paint maybe not exists in reality but reflect my intention.
Shopwindow has many special elements such as booms and slumps, coming across and separation, money and truth and also vanity and rich of the emotion. Shopwindow dolls call out different feeling of different people by their different ways to be put.
Business deal, luxury, resplendent and obsessional sentiment can be seen in the shopwindow dolls. The shopwindow can show dark destiny, life helplessness and discomfort just like time frame fixing.
Magic water surface bears all the floating life. Shimmering flashes on the foam and surrounded by deep passion, which reflected same experiences of human being. Different status, different time cause different feeling of people. Where to go? What the final aim? Happiness, getting away, Drifting and Wandering, disappear in the darkness or sublime to brightness.
I use indirect way to express symbolistic meaning. Cloud makes the sun and the moon can’t show the brightness, the sand makes the river can’t be clear, greed make people can’t be calm. The gulf between people and things behind the window, the model and commodity teasing people reflects the emotion and situation of modernist and even collide, mingle and even harmony between east and west.
