水墨演義.中國當(dāng)代水墨發(fā)展中的一次革命
中國水墨藝術(shù)已在世界上逐漸為人們所關(guān)注，無論人們是否懂得中國水墨從古至今是怎樣的一個(gè)發(fā)展?fàn)顩r，但對于水墨的審美、以及對其精神的領(lǐng)悟都不會存在著隔閡，通過作品本身就足以喚起人們對于自然的向往、對于生命、精神世界或是異度空間的感悟。然而，水墨畫在中國的命運(yùn)隨之進(jìn)入到了時(shí)代發(fā)展鏈條中的歷史性變革之中，如何從悠久的水墨歷史之中走出變革之路，使得水墨藝術(shù)的發(fā)展成為了一個(gè)不斷爭論的焦點(diǎn)。
本次展覽正是基于這一學(xué)術(shù)的觀點(diǎn)，旨在從藝術(shù)史的角度梳理當(dāng)代水墨發(fā)展脈絡(luò)，展示當(dāng)代水墨演義風(fēng)云與足跡，呈現(xiàn)當(dāng)代水墨發(fā)展史中的革命性變革。
“水墨演義”所確定的藝術(shù)家，是二十世紀(jì)六十年代以來對水墨語言與樣式的開拓者與實(shí)踐者，他們不僅僅從現(xiàn)代水墨豐富了水墨樣式這個(gè)層面。現(xiàn)代社會變革，以及與世界文化的交融，使得水墨藝術(shù)不再處于一種封閉的狀況下自主發(fā)展，同時(shí)也強(qiáng)烈地沖擊著藝術(shù)家的精神世界，他們不斷地在主題、題材上使得當(dāng)代水墨藝術(shù)多樣化和豐富性，并立足于審視當(dāng)代水墨的不同表現(xiàn)形態(tài)，分析、提取傳統(tǒng)語言因素，重新認(rèn)識水墨畫的本質(zhì)進(jìn)行研究，形成了一個(gè)有別于傳統(tǒng)繪畫的更為復(fù)雜、多樣的語言系統(tǒng)，從而使得他們的水墨藝術(shù)在傳統(tǒng)精神價(jià)值的基礎(chǔ)上更具有新的文化價(jià)值，更重要的是，他們的作品所反映的思想鋒芒更為銳利，更加注重了水墨藝術(shù)的觀念與表現(xiàn)因素這一特點(diǎn)，將其表現(xiàn)得更加淋漓盡致，從而將水墨本身的精神價(jià)值推向了一個(gè)新的境界。
劉國松、蕭勤、仇德樹、徐冰、王天德、廣曜、藍(lán)正輝 、秦風(fēng)，他們是正處在水墨演義這一歷史性變革中的探險(xiǎn)者、革命者，他們代表著中國當(dāng)代水墨發(fā)展的高峰，他們的作品和思想展示了水墨語言的文化特征，更加彰顯著水墨語言內(nèi)在的力量，使得水墨藝術(shù)在當(dāng)代文化語境下更加光彩、輝煌。
而這場水墨的演義也必將會在水墨藝術(shù)發(fā)展史的鏈條上，體現(xiàn)它學(xué)術(shù)、風(fēng)格上的革命價(jià)值及其意義。

A Revolution in the Development of Contemporary
Ink Art
The contemporary ink art has gradually gained recognition and universal attention that whether people understand the history of contemporary ink art and its development so far, they will have no barrier to appreciate this art form and understand its spirit, because the paintings themselves are able to call out people's aspiration toward nature and their understanding toward life, spiritual world or inner senses. However, when this art form in China has ushered into a historical transition period in the ongoing chains of the time, how to make changes to this traditional art from its long history has become a hot topic for debates on the development of the contemporary ink art.
Based on this academic topic, this exhibition is aimed to retell the development of contemporary ink art from the perspective of art history, showcase its footprints, and demonstrate a revolutionary event in the development of contemporary ink art.
The artists defined in the "Contemporary ink art evolution" refer to the pioneers and practitioners on the language and forms of contemporary ink art since 1960s, who have enriched this art form from more than the aspect of the contemporary form. The transition of the modern society, and the integrity with the world cultures have not only drawn the art of ink painting out of the status of self-enclosed seclusion, but also have had strong impact on the mental world of the artists, who have constantly exploited the diversity and richness of this art in themes and subjects, analysed and extracted the traditional language elements from surveying the various display forms of contemporary ink art, re-studied the nature of this art, and formulated a more diverse and complicated language system different from tradition. As a result, they have enabled their own works to have new cultural values on the basis of the traditional spiritual values, and more importantly, their works have reflected sharper ideas, paid more attention to and fully express the characteristics of conception and manifestation, and thus have enhanced the spiritual values of ink art to a new height.
Liu Kuo-Sung, Hsiao Chin, Qiu Deshu, Gu Wenda, Xu Bing, Wang Tiande, G.Y.Wu, Lan Zhenghui, and Qin Feng are explorers and revolutionaries in this historical transition in the Contemporary ink art. They represent a new height in the development of Contemporary ink art. Their works and ideas show the cultural characteristics of the language of ink art, demonstrate more of its inner strength, and make the contemporary ink art more brilliant and more colorful in the context of contemporary culture.
Likewise, this Contemporary Ink Art Evolution is bound to demonstrate its revolutionary values and significance in the aspects of academics and styles in the historical chains of the Contemporary Ink Art development.
