武明中是近年來頗受關(guān)注的重要藝術(shù)家之一。他從自身脆弱的情感體驗中,偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了作為表現(xiàn)媒介的玻璃與人的心理之間關(guān)系，經(jīng)過觀念化轉(zhuǎn)換，形成了一種新的藝術(shù)語言——脆弱性和透明性。這種語言構(gòu)成了武明中繪畫的美學核心，既折射出對人的脆弱心理學的分析，又表現(xiàn)出透明社會學的指涉意義。如果說前者更多產(chǎn)生的是個人化的視知覺感受，那么后者則更多強調(diào)的是對社會系統(tǒng)的剖析。
近來，他更偏向于對透明性意義的追問，他主觀性地延伸了玻璃透明性蘊涵的直接或間接的指涉意義，它與民主、自由、監(jiān)督、公開、公共性、交往性等有著內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，恰恰是透明性的合理存在，才對社會起到一場外科手術(shù)的作用——輿論、監(jiān)督與強制性，也正是通過媒體中介和思想調(diào)節(jié)來揭示和清除由獨裁、操縱、陰謀、罪惡、隱蔽、腐敗構(gòu)成的邪惡根源。實際上，武明中把透明性延展到堅強與脆弱、虛假與真實的對立關(guān)系中，清晰地傳遞出這種對立信息——矛盾與沖突、固定與易碎、堅強與脆弱、自由與獨裁、正義與陰謀、善良與邪惡等較量的關(guān)系。這些都歸結(jié)于他把繪畫語言處理得更機巧和富有張力。
武明中的繪畫具有某種混雜性的特質(zhì)，也就難以界定其風格的屬性，這無疑代表了進入21世紀新繪畫的一種情緒。
Fake Authenticity
Wu Mingzhong Solo Exhibition
Curator: Huang Du
Wu Mingzhong is one of most important and influential artist in recent years. From his fragile emotional experiences, he has stumbled upon glass as a medium to reflect human psychological relationships, and he has transformed that concept into a new artistic language - a language of fragility and transparency. This language has become the aesthetic core of Wu Mingzhong’s painting, not only reflecting an analysis of people’s fragile psychology, but also presenting the implications of a transparent sociology. If we say that the former evokes more personalized feelings on visual perception, then the latter is more emphatic on the analysis of social systems.
Recently, he has also tended to explore the significance of transparency. Subjectively, he has further extended the direct or indirect implications of transparent glass, which has associations with democracy, freedom, supervision, openness, commonality and affiliation. A reasonably efficient transparency becomes a surgical tool for the community as public opinion, supervision and mandatory rules both disclose and eliminate the infectious roots of dictatorship, manipulation, conspiracy, crime, concealment and corruption. In fact, Wu Mingzhong has expanded transparency to include a contrast of opposites, qualities such as hardness and fragility, as well as fakeness and authenticity. His paintings have clearly developed these contrasts - contradiction and conflict, solidity and brittleness, hardness and fragility, freedom and dictatorship, justice and conspiracy, kindness and evil - and they come as the result of his ingenious and dynamic handling of an artistic language.
Wu Mingzhong’s painting constitutes a blend of idiosyncracies, so it is difficult to clearly define all its stylistic attributes, but his work undoubtedly represents a new mood in painting in the early years of the 21st century.
