韩丽 | 张云垚:醚境
14 November 2013近期上海东画廊的个展《醚境》艺术家张云垚 对轮廓与质感绘画要素的一次探索。毛毡绒面与炭笔的结合,抽离了色彩与空间对于作品的影响,而放大了写实式绘画在不同于传统亚麻布或帆布的织物材料上所产生的画面叙事性。乍看下展览如同并无特别的素描系列作品展示,但毛毡材质的纤维质感使清晰的轮廓晕散开来,画面于是呈现出疏离感。在作品《背影》中,两个戴着鸭舌帽的男人低头张望,他们的背影以微妙的光影渗透进入画面背景之中,而呈现出某种失真的幻觉。画面似乎出于我们的梦境或者是记忆,介乎于现实与超现实之间:我们甚至可以想象,这样的场景曾经出现在某个秋日下午公园的长凳上,又或者这画面就是路易斯·布努埃尔黑白默片的梦境世界中某个瞬间的定格。 实际上,此次展览的大部分作品都是艺术家在苏格兰驻地项目归来后所创作的,画面中的内容也相应源自于艺术家在苏格兰所观察到的日常视觉经验。这种再现式的画面以模糊而暧昧的质感更加强调了时间与空间的分隔,这些游离于现实之外的因素也成为现场观看的趣味所在。 在艺术家之前由绘画、装置组成的悖论系列中,其更多以多媒介的方式,叙述人类在面临自我在不断经历的历史悖论反复中,所产生的哲学思考。例如在2009年的装置作品《西西弗斯之塔》中,艺术家利用了具有原始而粗糙气息的纸板、锡箔等材质进行了一次戏谑而沉重的悖论集结;而在2011年的个展《悖论盒子》中,艺术家又将绘制于巨大墙面上的作品最终全部铲除为细小的碎片。相比于之前更具有反思性的尝试,艺术家在此经历了一次转向——与之前诡异阴郁的创作风格不同,本次展览中艺术家以冷静克制的态度,回归于对传统审美具象的凝炼描画本身。 然而,这样的回归似乎是不合时宜的:在永远追求新鲜与惊奇的当代艺术语境中,绘画这一传统创作媒介似乎已经被划归为观念与技法的保守推进,对于绘画性的追求也在某种程度上成为一种依凭个人喜好和市场反响的折中方案,因此艺术家在以绘画为推进手段之时如何继续保持独立反思也就成为问题所在。但无论如何,本次展览提供了时下一位青年艺术家基于绘画本身的难得的探讨案例。Read more -
