虛假的真實(shí)——武明中個(gè)展
策展人：黃篤
武明中是近年來(lái)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(yàn)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(guò)觀念化轉(zhuǎn)換，形成了一種新的藝術(shù)語(yǔ)言——脆弱性和透明性。這種語(yǔ)言構(gòu)成了武明中繪畫的美學(xué)核心，既折射出對(duì)人的脆弱心理學(xué)的分析，又表現(xiàn)出透明社會(huì)學(xué)的指涉意義。如果說(shuō)前者更多產(chǎn)生的是個(gè)人化的視知覺(jué)感受，那么后者則更多強(qiáng)調(diào)的是對(duì)社會(huì)系統(tǒng)的剖析。
近來(lái)，他更偏向于對(duì)透明性意義的追問(wèn)，他主觀性地延伸了玻璃透明性蘊(yùn)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(duì)社會(huì)起到一場(chǎng)外科手術(shù)的作用——輿論、監(jiān)督與強(qiáng)制性，也正是通過(guò)媒體中介和思想調(diào)節(jié)來(lái)揭示和清除由獨(dú)裁、操縱、陰謀、罪惡、隱蔽、腐敗構(gòu)成的邪惡根源。實(shí)際上，武明中把透明性延展到堅(jiān)強(qiáng)與脆弱、虛假與真實(shí)的對(duì)立關(guān)系中，清晰地傳遞出這種對(duì)立信息——矛盾與沖突、固定與易碎、堅(jiān)強(qiáng)與脆弱、自由與獨(dú)裁、正義與陰謀、善良與邪惡等較量的關(guān)系。這些都?xì)w結(jié)于他把繪畫語(yǔ)言處理得更機(jī)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(fēng)格的屬性，這無(wú)疑代表了進(jìn)入21世紀(jì)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 experience, He has stumbled upon the glass as a medium to reflect the psychological connection of man, with the conversion of concept he has transformed it into a new artistic language - the fragility and transparency. The language became the aesthetic core of Wu Mingzhong’s painting, it not only reflects the analysis of people’s fragile psychology, but also presents the implication of transparent sociology. If we say that the former evokes more personalized feeling on visual perception, then the latter is more emphasis on the analysis of social system.
Recently, he has also tended to quest the significance of transparency, subjectively he has extended the direct or indirect implication of glass transparency, which has associated with the democracy, freedom, supervision, openness, commonality and affiliation, the reasonable efficiency of transparency became a surgery to the community– public opinions, supervision and mandatory rules, had disclosed and eliminated the villainous root that comprises the dictatorship, manipulation, conspiracy, crime, concealment and corruption. In fact, Wu Mingzhong has expanded the transparency to the contrast of toughness and fragility, falsity and authenticity, his paintings have clearly delivered the contrast – contradiction and conflict, solid and crispness, toughness and fragility, freedom and dictatorship, justice and conspiracy, kindness and evil. All of these are result from his ingenious and dynamic management of artistic language.
Wu Mingzhong's painting has some sort of intermixed characters, so it is difficult to define the attributes of its style, which undoubtedly represents a sort of mood of new painting in 21st century.
