“捷克木偶”是反映捷克民族真实历史的系列绘画作品。
17世纪,当波希米亚王国被哈布斯堡王朝统治时,当地的语言——捷克语几乎消失了。新统治者费迪南德二世不容忍非天主教徒,视波希米亚的新教徒为其信仰的威胁。捷克当地人被迫说入侵者的德语。
制造木偶的行为,长期以来一直是捷克人民的一种抗议形式。十七世纪的木雕师,比起“仿人”,更擅长为教堂雕刻巴洛克风格的座椅。在斐迪南二世上台后不久,就开始为波西米亚的演员制作木偶,因为木偶是仅存的有权在公共场合说捷克语的实体。当这个国家的其它地方坚持使用新强加的德语时,流浪的木偶大师们通过木偶用他们的斯拉夫语讲话。
多亏了这个卑微的傀儡,捷克这个国家及其语言在不经意间得到了拯救。
就像捷克的木偶大师一样,从2015年开始,我就在各个国家之间游走,只为寻找更多的自由。所以我想对“捷克木偶”系列做一些象征性的阐释:流浪是一种保护语言的方式,因此有言论自由的权利。
"Czech Puppet" is a series of paintings that respond to the true history of the Czech nation.
In the 17th Century, when the kingdom of Bohemia was under Habsburg rule, the local language--Czech language almost disappeared. The new ruler, Ferdinand II, did not tolerate non-Catholics, viewing Protestants in Bohemia as a threat to his faith. Czech locals were forced to speak the German language of their invaders.
The act of building puppets has long been a form of protest for the Czech people. Seventeenth-Century wood-carvers, who were more versed in sculpting Baroque seats for churches than human facsimiles, started making puppets for the actors of Bohemia soon after Ferdinand II came to power, as puppets were the only remaining entities that had the right to speak Czech in public places. While the rest of the country and its people adhered to the newly imposed German language, wandering puppet-masters spoke through the puppets in their native Slavic tongue.
Thanks to the humble puppet that the Czech nation--and its language--was inadvertently saved.
Just like the Czech puppet-masters, I am wandering among countries since 2015, just for the searching of more freedom. So I want to shad some symbolic light on the "Czech Puppet" series: wandering is a way to preserve a language, thus the right of free speech.

朋友留言说起恩索尔的画,恩的画二十年前开始有关注,在大都会博物馆见过其大尺幅的作品,真是好得不得了,应该是其后期作品,灵动空间和灿烂的色彩,抽象的用笔自由自在,跟早期笔触密度极高的灰色和被控制在精短丰饶的黑色轮廓当中,以及有名的假面系列,三个阶段区别极大,早后期我都喜欢。早期被压制的激情和书写性的极度深入,后期的自由放纵仿佛鸿蒙初开的作品均具有强大的感染力。
于我艺如瘾,比如每次去洗衣房都带上几种笔、本子,衣服放进湿洗筒一加币,立马找个地,或坐或站不妨碍别人即可,埋首开始工作,好几次忘了加洗衣液,或把币投入旁边的洗衣机。我本是去瘾者,比如烟,比如酒,唯画之瘾不得去。在湿洗和烘干的时间可勾勒一二线稿,回家放一段时间抽空再添加或上色。因是纸本小画,力量集中,修改方便,往往小画可画出大画的感觉。其实画不分大小,不分体裁、语言和材质,舒心中块垒,达意即可。
