「绘画艺术的理性与情感」廖建华-“迹象”纯化
从早期的浓淡不等的密集小蝌蚪结构画面,到后来淡若水痕的中锋笔道道,间或又有汉字的隐现重叠,再到近来密布的线阵排列。艺术家廖建华总是游走在淡定悠然的痕迹之美中,我们称他的作品为“抽象”中的“迹象”纯化。
他的作品,貌虽繁密,实则至简。其中的意蕴是一些些某种很难下定义的东西。他以平淡的语言突出了缺少特点和征兆的“素”与“朴”,似乎在用此描绘那不可描绘的东西。此“迹象”无实底,却又构意发蒙,意味深长。
在他的系列作品的每个时期,宁静的“湍流体验”是一直相伴的,这种原发的生命体验本身的趋动态势,构成着他的领会与表达。即如他自己所言:“本质性笔道道,一方面暗示着生命的脉动,一方面透露出时间和存在的消息”。这是一种生命冲动力的“朝向”和“指引”。于是,他用极繁又至简的形式结构,创造出了一种独特的“迹象世界”。暗含着虚无恬惔的纯素之道。

作为一名年轻的在京艺术家,廖建华已经创作了一系列引人注目的作品,这些作品在喜爱当代抽象艺术的观众中引起了共鸣。当然,看到他的作品,我们会不可避免地将他的艺术与西方抽象传统进行比较,但在目前情况下,似乎仅欣赏艺术本身更为明智,而非随意强拉进一种不知有否影响到艺术家的传统。廖的作品几乎是无止境的重复,他那用丙烯或彩色铅笔重复描画的笔触,使得作品内容密集,令人震惊。从远处看,他的细微笔触融合成一种氤氲的色彩,但当我们走近细看,单个笔触又清晰可辨,展现出这样一位年轻艺术家不寻常的风格。置身于这种飘渺的氛围中,我们必须定睛细看才不觉得有点晕眩。当廖的系列作品完美地呈现在一个空间时,它们便展现了艺术家无边限的表达,每件作品相互联系而又彼此独立。有时,作品的总体形式易于辨认,如《思空图》(2009年)中重复的蓝色圆圈便构成了画面的主体,鲜明清晰。
当然,《思空图》的标题具有佛教“冥想”的内涵。作为一个整体,该系列作品可被视为艺术家对色彩的延伸冥想。廖的风格既独立又让人联想到纽约画派的色域画家们,但他很可能并没有接触过这些艺术家。廖始终如一,按照自己的方式前行,创造出一种使微妙色调自行去探索的绘画,颜料或铅笔笔触自为中心,是那么无私,不带任何个性表达。《无限之线》(2008年)向我们展示了做为和谐整体、如此简单延续的一行行笔触,竟能营造一种勇敢新世界的奇妙效果。氛围是他所有作品的灵魂,他的铅笔笔触似乎在构建一种新的无穷,而这要求一位艺术家必须完全投身体验它的无穷无尽。在当下中国,抽象艺术仍然屈居于社会导向型的具象艺术之后。然而像廖建华这样的艺术家却在证明,抽象导向型的艺术是有发展空间的,其方向便是极致的冥想。事实上,使人惊奇的是,《无限之线》中的彩色线条引人进入的却是空间的主题。
事实上,观看廖的作品能清晰地了解到,他的作品并非只是形式上的重复,它也把观者带进了一个冥想空间。这些作品在脑中回荡,产生了无穷广域的振幅,从而引发观者的思考。这种艺术所带来的主要效果,是它在观者脑中所引起的反应。他的作品有助于帮助人们集中注意力,最终过滤掉个人自我。在另一幅题为《无限之线》(2009年)的作品中,水平的鲜红笔触创造出一个漂亮醒目的图案,在如此美丽的作品中表达出了无限——事实上,它是如此美丽,任何文字描述似乎都会减弱我们对它的理解。当然,我们对无限世界的体验也应该是无边限的;在这幅作品中,我们感觉线条似乎会永远持续不断,只是作品边框给它做了一个表面上的终结。廖的作品向我们展示了如何在这样庞杂多变的世界中集中心力。通过重复的笔触,他形成了对于这个统一却具有无限意蕴的环境的观念。他逐步构建形象,一行一行笔触地描画,恒定坚持。他对作品命名所暗含的庞大观念清楚地表明,他的艺术注重的并非结果,而是过程。只有了解了他的这种理念,我们才能真正理解他的作品。

Liao Jian Hua is a young Beijing painter who already makes compelling compositions that resonate for anyone interested in experiencing abstract contemporary art. Of course, on seeing his work, there is the inevitable comparison of his art with the Western abstract inheritance, but at this point in time, it seems wiser to appreciate the art for what it is, rather than arbitrarily assign a legacy that may—or may not—have influenced the artist. Liao works with nearly endless repetition, reiterating the stroke in acrylic or colored pencil, to the point where the paintings possess a stunningly dense composition. At a distance his small marks merge into vaporous color, but then, when the viewer has advanced to a closer point of view, the individual strokes come into recognition. They reveal an unusual discipline of style in so young an artist. A misty atmosphere is generated; one has to look closely not to feel a bit light-headed. Together, placed in a good installation in the gallery, Liao’s efforts work as a seamless expression, with each composition both connected to and separate from one another. Sometimes the overall pattern is recognizable, as occurs in Empty Your Mind (2009), in which blue repetitive circles make their presence noticed as a major aspect of the painting.
Of course, the title Empty Your Mind has Buddhist contemplative connotations, and as a group, the works can be seen as an extended meditation on color. Liao’s style is both independent and reminiscent of the color field painters of the New York School—but they are artists he likely has not seen in real life. Consistently, he has moved according to his own fashion, creating paintings whose subtle hues become the focus of their own investigation; the paint or the pencil marks center upon themselves in a style that appears to be selfless, devoid of personality. Infinite Lines(2008) shows us how the simple continuation of individual rows of strokes,
accepted in their entirety, have the marvelous effect of a brave new world. Atmosphere is central to all his compositions, and it seems as if the pencil marks are constructing a new kind of infinity, into which one must plunge entirely to experience its endlessness. In China today, abstraction still takes a back seat to figurative, socially oriented art, but a painter such as Liao is proving that there is room for an abstractly oriented art whose orientation is contemplative in the extreme. Indeed, the consequences of colored lines in Infinite Lines are, surprisingly enough, oriented toward spatial themes.
In fact, seeing a painting by Liao makes it clear that the experience is not only formal and repetitive, it is also a matter of meditative space. The paintings reverberate in mind, creating a place of endless amplitude, conducive to thought. This is a kind of art in which much of its effect has to do with what happens in the minds of Liao’s audience—the paintings are useful aids to a concentrated focus, one dedicated to the loss of individual self. In another painting, entitled Infinite Lines (2009), horizontal rows of bright red strokes create an eye-catching pattern that intimates limitlessness in a notably beautiful composition—actually, it is so beautiful, its description in words seems to lessen our understanding of it. Of course, one’s experience of an infinite world should be seamless; in this painting, we feel as though the lines continue forever, only superficially ended by the painting’s frame. Liao’s work shows us how to concentrate in a world of myriad variety—by repeating the stroke, he completes his perception of a unified environment of immense implications. He builds the image slowly, moving from row to row of strokes in a discipline of constant effort. The enormous perceptions he suggests in his choice of titles make it clear that his art is a process more than a product. We should pay attention to the insight.

在我的作品里面时间性与个人意志力显得极为的重要。我的艺术注重的并非结果,而是过程。 作品通过自身长时间的繁复劳作行为来进行创作。密集时间的累积,顽强而持续的意志力以及平和的心态贯穿着我所有创作的始终。这种个人苦修般的创作体验呈现了如何在这样庞杂多变的世界中集中心力。完成了对时间与生命对话。也透露出个体存在的消息与可能性。作品试图表达有序与无序,无限与有限,限制与自由,过程与结果,平静与不安之间的共存关系。
