　　心靈中特有的片段——評論家眼里的賈穹

　　賈穹是一個持續(xù)地在畫布上構建生命夢想的畫家。生命的豐盈、神秘、力量與美好，是他多年來創(chuàng)作中反復吟唱的主題。寫實且略帶表現(xiàn)性的手法為畫家所熟練地掌握與使用，那些鮮艷的色彩、灑脫的筆觸、精確的造型、疏密得當?shù)漠嬅鏄嫵桑蛭覀冋宫F(xiàn)了畫家繪畫基本功的扎實和才情的一面。盡管賈穹繪畫的內容通常是夢幻的、超現(xiàn)實的，但由于他是以平實的方式進行描繪，這就使得他的作品在形式上具有另一種繪畫的真實感。

　　——上海美術館學術部 江梅

　　有一位西方的藝術史學家曾說過，一切藝術都是對遠古的、朦朧的東西的回憶，藝術家心靈之中的片段始終同這些來自久遠的東西須臾不離。對賈穹來說也是如此，賈穹不一定熟悉他們思想、著作，但他‘心靈中特有的片段’與那些不朽哲人的思想果實有著同樣的土壤，來自同一個源流。”

　　鏡中影像

　　賈穹

　　人生如鏡。

　　鏡反射出人生環(huán)境、成長心理、社會影響以及造化弄人。

　　鏡中影像，意境，呈現(xiàn)于畫面，局限的表達與階段性的思考，美學與現(xiàn)象。

　　二十年來藝術創(chuàng)作的歷程改變著與此相關聯(lián)的人生成長。原本幻想第一自然與人性的崇尚到商業(yè)時代人與商品價值的依存與矛盾、人的價值、商品的價值乃至人生或者個人、民族、國家的演化與命運，又及櫥窗呈現(xiàn)于畫面，眼睛所見映于腦，變于情，感于心。

　　少年蒙昧的成長，無限希望，各種可能，徘徊于廢園的青春，貧困中的愛情與回憶，商品改變性情的欲望與理想。現(xiàn)實價值擠壓所剩無幾的時間，仿佛身染瀝青，忘卻原本屬于自己生命物種的顏色，諸多元素粘滿身體與心靈的周遭。

　　又見草原，回歸的路途，投身于自然四季的懷抱，離棄當代文明與未實現(xiàn)的城市理想。在興安盟遼闊和堅忍的土地上，草原上的人們，白狼的靈魂，構建中的家庭，未來不能實現(xiàn)卻永存于心的路程、蒙古啊……尋求與渴望，片刻出現(xiàn)在面前，轉瞬即逝，莽莽迷途與未來，不再回來。

　　多少次欲棄筆從戎，小戰(zhàn)多多，身受重傷又回到藝路、沉默繪畫仿佛修行。圓明園的掙扎，海淀的流浪，慕尼黑的創(chuàng)作，仿佛夢境，中國美術少年又將怎樣，CBD早期單人房的公司到企業(yè)集團化，哈爾濱的冬季，齊齊哈爾城市，離異。北京啊北京，博爾濟吉特的孩子，宋莊畫家村空蕩蕩的房間，遼闊美麗的綠色之海，艱苦草原上的人們，構建中的空中家庭。再回藝途，深感疲憊，命運又把我蕩回，不能再從事其它……

　　改革變化中，時代的關口，輝煌的封建文明，百年屈辱后的璀璨，商品社會交易的燈火……東方將再崛起于世界……

　　櫥窗盛載于物，影像于眼，人與社會，偶人擺布。

　　薩滿的內容對于當代社會中的我，盡以蒙昧，仿佛血液中流淌著薩滿生與悲情，愛與憎。這就是我早期的繪畫片面表達自身難注解的謎團。

　　薩滿與歐亞的歷史，阿爾泰通古斯?jié)摬赜趦刃牡南Ｍ倥Ⅴr卑、契丹、女真、蒙古、朝鮮和日本，滿作為被改造者而存留于世的后裔歷史，如臺階般一層層一步步把延續(xù)推向虛空之中……

　　真實與虛幻之間

　　賈穹

　　在現(xiàn)實與虛幻的無限范圍內，諸多謎一般的事物引起人們無限的遐想。 面對這撲朔迷離的世界， 一種價值觀和責任感驅使著我，艱難而誠實地求索， 并把藝術形式看作是精神世界的表達，在象征、隱喻的空間里，透過視覺的觸角，領悟人對于生命的持久關注，進而通過藝術表現(xiàn)力使其持久地再現(xiàn)。

　　櫥窗偶人和水沫偶人是我目前使用的載體，我的作品中形態(tài)和表情的多樣性會引發(fā)觀者不同的解讀，所繪之物不一定完全存在于現(xiàn)實，但體現(xiàn)了我的主觀意圖。

　　在人類漫長的歷史和社會演變中，櫥窗作為它特有的符號涵蓋著所盛載物象的破滅與繁榮，相逢與分離，金錢與真理，情感在生命中的虛無以及充實…… 雨后迷離的櫥窗，偶人和擺放的各種商業(yè)元素，喚起不一樣的人的不一樣的情感。怎樣的交易，怎樣的奢華，怎樣的璀璨，怎樣的擺脫不掉的城市人的感傷……仿佛象征人類漫長的歷史在時間中凝固，人們苦難的命運，人生的無奈和身陷囹圄般的不自由。

　　水沫偶人影映著生命，光怪陸離的未知水面托舉著它所有附著的生命和浮來之物，人對于玩偶的同情折射著著人本身同樣的遭遇，水沫上閃爍其間的波光被濃情所籠罩著。那水沫中漂泊的玩偶在每一個不同的境遇、每一個不同的時間，引起人們不同的情感。去向哪里，最終的歸期，懸浮于水中的迷離波光，怎樣的幸福、怎樣的逃離、怎樣的放縱、怎樣的隨波逐流，怎樣的消失于黑暗亦或升華到光明。

　　不直接性的表達、象征的意義，系列的效果以及在生命創(chuàng)作中的爭取完善和追求終極。日月欲明，浮云蓋之；河水欲清，沙石穢之；人性欲平，嗜欲害之，玻璃物象與人的隔閡，櫥窗模特與商品對于人的引誘和挑釁，反射在物象表面的真實與虛假，精神與肉體的欲望所呈現(xiàn)出的痛苦，商品世界里人們之間的交易，誘惑和距離，最后的虛無和浮華，象征著擺脫不掉的當代人所處的現(xiàn)狀和情感，以及東西方文化的碰撞、交融乃至和諧共處。

Special Segment In Heart

Jia Qiong In Critics’ Eyes

Jia Qiong is an artist who continues to construct dream of life on the canvas. Life, which is rich, mystic, powerful and beautiful, is his favorite theme repeating on his canvas in recent years.

Realism and expressionism are skillfully used by him. It shows us his talent and basic skill by its bright color, handsome brush, exact model and the appropriate space. His work has a different realistic sense in its form because it was described in a mild way, although their content is often dreamlike and surrealistic.

By Jiang Mei

Academy Department of Shang Hai Art Museum

An art historian said art is memory on ancient and dim things, which segments in artist heart always follow closely to. To Jia Qiong, it is too. He maybe doesn’t familiar with their thoughts and works, but the “special segment in his heart” derived from the same origin with the immortal philosopher.

Image Behind Mirror

Jia Qiong

Life is like mirror.

By which surrounding of people, growing psychology, influence by the society and the nature creation can be reflected.

Art has changed life state of human for the last twenties years, which are presented on canvas through shopwindows. What saw by eyes reflected in brain, changed the mind, moving the heart. Commodity has changed desire and ideal, the momory for love in poverish, youth wandering in the deserted gardern, spaceless hope and various capabilities. Reality pressed against time. People were like dyed by asphsltum and forgot their origin color.

Caught sight of grassland again, devoted into embrace of nature, and gave up contemporary culture and unconsummated ideal of city. People on the grassland, white wolf, family in the process of constructing, Mongolia. Never went back from the wrong path.

Many times I have given up brush to fight, but injured badly and came back again, painting silently like beliefe. Struggling in Yuan Ming Yuan art village, wandering in Hai Dian, painting in Munich, all those are like dream. And then from small company in CBD to collectivized company, the winter in Haerbin, Qi Qi haer, devorce. Beijing, the son of Bo-Er-Ji-Ji-Te (a household of Man), empty studio of songzhuang, beautiful green sea, people on the grassland, family in the air. Came back to art, I will never engage in others.

In the prosess of reform, pass of time, splendish after centuries humiliation, lights of commodity transaction, east will grow up in the world again.

The content of shaman to me is ignorant. I feel sadness, love and hatress of shaman are flowing in my body. This is what I expressed in my earlier work, the puzzles difficult to interpret.

The history of shaman and Eurasian, the desire of Altay Tungus, Hun, Xianbei, Khitan, Juchen, Mongolia, Korea and Japan, Man has survived after modification, which like the stairs went to none step by step, layer by layer.

Between the Reality and Transience

Jia Qiong

Many puzzles brought people imagination both in reality and transience space. I was propelled by a responsibility to pursue hardly and honestly. And regard art as spirit, through which we can read life and then re-create it everlastingly by simbol and metapher way.

Shopwindow dolls and foam dolls are the carriers whose style may initiate different interpretations from the spectators. What I paint maybe not exists in reality but reflect my intention.

Shopwindow has many special elements such as booms and slumps, coming across and separation, money and truth and also vanity and rich of the emotion. Shopwindow dolls call out different feeling of different people by their different ways to be put.

Business deal, luxury, resplendent and obsessional sentiment can be seen in the shopwindow dolls. The shopwindow can show dark destiny, life helplessness and discomfort just like time frame fixing.

Magic water surface bears all the floating life. Shimmering flashes on the foam and surrounded by deep passion, which reflected same experiences of human being. Different status, different time cause different feeling of people. Where to go? What the final aim? Happiness, getting away, Drifting and Wandering, disappear in the darkness or sublime to brightness.

I use indirect way to express symbolistic meaning. Cloud makes the sun and the moon can’t show the brightness, the sand makes the river can’t be clear, greed make people can’t be calm. The gulf between people and things behind the window, the model and commodity teasing people reflects the emotion and situation of modernist and even collide, mingle and even harmony between east and west.
