【 惠书文|艺评】李勇·20年代:从记忆碎片到一粒尘埃
艺术家 李勇
ARTIST|LI YONG
记忆,是我们对经验过事物的识记、保持、再现或再认,也是一粒随时可以闪现或消失的尘埃碎片。当我们置身于不同空间中的环境状态时,个体记忆中的某些碎片则以静态图象和动态图像同时呈现,以上下递进的直线趋势缓慢运动,频率的弧度趋势成为判断图像定格的重要文本信息。

记忆,是我们对经验过事物的识记、保持、再现或再认,也是一粒随时可以闪现或消失的尘埃碎片。当我们置身于不同空间中的环境状态时,个体记忆中的某些碎片则以静态图象和动态图像同时呈现,以上下递进的直线趋势缓慢运动,频率的弧度趋势成为判断图像定格的重要文本信息。
无序、错乱,甚至异位的画面结构设定,依然是构成艺术家李勇新作的主要语言特征。画面中的图像趋近于各式抽象符号,意指具象图像被解构后的更为感性的涂抹气质,所用笔力的自由性轻盈跳跃,其方向的节奏把控兼具书写之意味;色彩的绚姿多异与颜料厚度互为前后对比,色域的分布叠层似有“随心所欲”之态度;造型语言的元素简化,初见图像之外样貌;并置一种强烈且松动的图像画面跳出近距离观看的视觉感官误差。
Disorder, disorder, and even heterotopia are still the main language features of li yong's new works. The images in the picture tend to be all kinds of abstract symbols, which means the more perceptual daub temperament after the concrete image is deconstructed. The freedom of the brushwork is light and bounces, and the rhythm of its direction controls both the meaning of writing. The color of the color is different and the pigment thickness of each other before and after contrast, the distribution of color gamut seems to have the attitude of "follow one's inclinations"; The elements of modeling language are simplified, and the appearance beyond the image is initially seen. Juxtaposition of a strong and loose image jumps out of the visual sensory error of close viewing.
对于艺术家李勇在现实生活中所经历的事物,我们大抵可从作品《村子》系列中窥得他记忆里的图像原型。以《村子D》为线索起始点,横向分割的两块画布,由表及里间的色块与造型,相互映衬;以多于画面中心的深色黄线为交界点,倒映图像下方的阴影。闪光处的几个米黄色块,和三到四个深绿色的条状色块,交互呼应上方右侧的小丑人物:着有粉红色的衣饰服装,忧郁惺惜的眼神,微斜着身躯……在这被分割的黄色线条之上镇定笃然,或是回忆过往事物中某一个挥之不去的画面印象。
For what the artist li yong experienced in real life, we can get a glimpse of the image prototype in his memory from his works "village" series. Taking "village D" as the starting point of the clue, two canvases are divided horizontally, and the color blocks and shapes between the surface and the inside are set off against each other. More than the center of the dark yellow line as the junction point, reflecting the shadow of the image below. A few beige blocks in the flash place, and 3 to 4 dark green stripe color blocks, interactive echo upper right side of the clown character: wear the dress that has pink to act the role of dress, the look in the eyes of melancholy dim cherish, slightly inclined body... Calm and steady above the yellow line, or recall a haunting image from the past.
延续此系列的作品还包括名称代码:D、E、F、G、H……《M》、《黑板B》类似强度曝光后的胶片,“失色”且沉稳,折射于空间中的视觉面貌,也从侧面细化了我们所观察到的物象本身的语言划痕。透过艺术家李勇塑造的画面,另一类潜隐的记忆幻景将逐渐变得清晰,而由冷到暖的色调变化,不仅仅是艺术家李勇真实心境的状态表现,还是源于他脑海中对原有环境的深切思绪和再反观,以及它们在不同时节中体现的质感温度和生命症候。
生活环境的变迁和转移,加速了艺术家李勇对周围物象内在生命的反思和敏锐嗅觉,就像我们每个时间段偶遇的事物和物质一般,随着时间的更迭和能量转换,它们终究化为一粒尘埃,并在未知的空间与我们再次遇见。
The change and transfer of the living environment accelerated the artist li yong's reflection and keen sense of smell on the inner life of the surrounding objects and images, just like the things and materials we encounter in each time period. With the passage of time and the transformation of energy, they eventually become a grain of dust and meet us again in the unknown space.
