《殘山水》就詩性和禪意而言，是梁紹基自2007年個展《云》之后的延展。“殘”—“蠶”—“禪”， 三者為諧音。“殘”為作品直觀呈像，“蠶”為藝術(shù)家獨自領(lǐng)悟自然、生命、科學(xué)、歷史，社會的藝術(shù)契入點，“禪”為精神鏡像。
《殘山水》注重單純簡潔，營造“空”，突顯自然“現(xiàn)成品”的極致利用。藝術(shù)家以表現(xiàn)蠶生命全過程的“自然系列”為背景，十余米絲卷如飛瀑涌流般從空中落下；碮河床挖掘出來淤于濕泥千百年而變的黑如碳，硬如鐵的奇拙的水沉木散置絲卷周圍，觀者不禁感嘆“無邊落木蕭蕭下，不盡長江滾滾來”“沉舟側(cè)畔千帆過，病樹前頭萬木春”······ 如同去年在上海舉辦的個展《云》一樣，今年的新作《殘山水》也充滿自然氣息及哲思，其用絲箔蠶砂及古木碎片構(gòu)成別樣的山水景觀，試圖努力給人們提供一個“靜悟”的境地。
梁紹基早年從事纖維藝術(shù)研究及設(shè)計，近二十余年從事裝置藝術(shù)。與自然互動，以蠶生命全過程為素材，溶生物學(xué)與藝術(shù)，雕塑與裝置，編織，行為為一體的“自然系列”是其代表作。同時他以竹木為媒介，拓展對自然、生命及社會課題的思考。正如藝術(shù)家本人所言“我以為藝術(shù)無非是生命的禮儀和信仰，人對自然感知的釋放。”
梁紹基，1945年生于上海，祖貫廣東中山。畢業(yè)于浙江美術(shù)學(xué)院，后研修于浙江美術(shù)學(xué)院萬曼壁掛研究所?，F(xiàn)客居浙江天臺山，兼中國美術(shù)學(xué)院雕塑系第五工作室客座教授。他的作品在中國以及世界上各大美術(shù)機構(gòu)被廣泛展出，包括：“第13屆洛桑國際壁掛雙年展”（瑞士，1987），“中國現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)大展”（北京，1989），“第49屆威尼斯雙年展”（意大利，1999），“第6屆伊斯坦布爾雙年展”（土耳其，1999），“第5屆里昂雙年展”（法國， 2000），“第3屆及第6屆上海雙年展”（上海2000和2006）等。首次個展“云”香格納畫廊H空間（上海，2007）。

‘Broken Landscape’ – Liang Shaoji at ShanghART Beijing
‘Broken Landscape’ is the extension and expansion of Liang Shaoji’s 2007 solo exhibition ‘Cloud’, a poetic expression of the Chinese state of mind. The artworks in ‘Broken’ portray a fractured visual image that incorporates ‘silkworm’ as a medium to reflect nature, life, science, history and society; and ‘Zen’ as a mental framework. These three characters are pronounced similarly in Chinese and convey profound meaning.
Through working with elements of nature, the exhibition stresses purity and simplicity, creating a sense of emptiness. The artist uses a variety of natural materials to exhibit the life-cycle of silkworms. Surrounded by ancient wooden remnants and suspended in air, the silkworm installation (about 10 meters in length) is reminiscent of a traditional landscape drawing. The wooden forms, shaped over time by river currents, reflect the imagery of a sunken boat: a symbol of fleeting life, suffering, and generosity, all notions found in ancient Chinese poetry. By using natural elements and alluding to Chinese thoughts, ‘Broken Landscape’ creates a poetic atmosphere, a virtual landscape of breeding silkworms and ancient wooden forms that provides visitors a space for quiet meditation.
Liang’s early work consisted of serenely abstract hangings and installations made from textiles, often including bamboo. In his representative work, Natural Series, he created a series of installations and performances using live silkworms, combining biology with art, and integrating sculpture, installation, and weaving. The artist also uses bamboo to deepen the reflection on the subjects of nature, life and society. As Liang Shaoji states, ‘I think art is all about the comity between societies, the faith in life, and the release which humans perceive from nature’.
Liang Shaoji, a close observer of the contemporary art world and frequent participant at all possible Biennales around the world, was born in 1945. He graduated from Zhejiang Academy of Ars. He is now residing in Tiantai Mountain in rural Zhejiang province, and working as a guest professor at the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou. His works have been widely exhibited at national and international art institutions, including: Chinese Avant-garde Art Exhibition (National Art Museum of China, Beijing, China, 1989), The 48th International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale (Italy, 1999), The 6th International Istanbul Biennale (Turkey, 1999), The 5th Biennale d’Art Contemporain de Lyon (France, 2000), The 3rd and The 6th Shanghai Biennale (China, 2000 and 2006), ‘Cloud’ – solo exhibition at ShanghART H-Space (China, 2007).
