李軍 《肖像-dogs(1)》水墨、皮紙、絹 200×200cm 2006年
伴隨著消費社會與數(shù)碼工業(yè)的高速發(fā)展,“圖像轉(zhuǎn)向”已經(jīng)成為了我們時代的中心。令人非常遺憾的是,現(xiàn)代水墨創(chuàng)作卻一直與這一新興的文化現(xiàn)象相脫節(jié)。不管我們愿否承認,雖然現(xiàn)代水墨的創(chuàng)新已是大勢所趨,不可阻擋,但其主流仍然是圍繞傳統(tǒng)山水、花鳥的圖像或西方抽象藝術(shù)的圖像做沒完沒了的探索,這也導致現(xiàn)代水墨創(chuàng)作在整體上基本上沒有與當代文化產(chǎn)生互動的關(guān)系。
李軍以及一批水墨新銳,從表達個人的特殊感受出發(fā),更強調(diào)與時代、生活的互動,由此為水墨畫的發(fā)展尋找到的全新的增長點。在這當中,一個十分重要的現(xiàn)象就是：新生的水墨創(chuàng)作出現(xiàn)了“圖像轉(zhuǎn)向”的大趨勢。從藝術(shù)史的角度看,這有著超越的意義,因此是非常令人高興的。比如李軍的作品,就以傳統(tǒng)“沒骨技法”與“撞水撞粉”的技法,描繪了各種各樣寵物狗的肖像,進而強調(diào)了現(xiàn)代都市人十分孤獨與難以彼此交流的文化問題。李軍以及其他新銳用自己的作品證明：從自水墨的表現(xiàn)特征出發(fā),新水墨完全可以從意象上、本質(zhì)上把握現(xiàn)實,并就現(xiàn)實發(fā)言。盡管我們眼下還不能說,這些水墨作品已達到完美的境界,但我們有充分的理由相信,隨著時間的推移,他們工作一定會干得更好。新水墨畫也一定與當代文化建立起更加對位的關(guān)系。而水墨創(chuàng)作中出現(xiàn)的“圖像轉(zhuǎn)向”現(xiàn)象也一定會引起學術(shù)界更高的關(guān)注。
Recommendation
By Lu Hong
The consuming society and digital industry develops so fast that we have to encounter with image transportation, which come to the desk in our age, but it is a pity our Chinese ink-Painting is out of the trend and we have to admit that mostly the main stream of it still steps around the traditional landscape, birds and flowers or merely exploring by using western-style abstract image. Which is an obvious gap that is behind the culture development trend in our age.
Only some of cutting-edge ink-painters come to the front that aim at the other objects really existed around us today, to develop Chinese ink-Painting, one of which is among them is Li Jun. I’m pleasure to see in Li Jun’s works there is the image transformation that is significance. For instance we may see doll dogs in his work which is about to express the aloneness and impossibilities of communication of man in our time. Li Jun and some other cutting-edge ink-painter declared the fact that it is possible to transfer ink-Painting of its objects from the traditional mode to the modern one, and is possible to present real objects around us. Although, up till today, their works are not perfect, we believe they will do better in the future and that is expected. Also we believe ink-Painting will has a fine line with the culture trend and image transferring will produce more compact on academic theory and attach more importance.
