燃烧殆尽的梦
文/刘銧銧
对我而言，画画这件事很像公路电影的拍摄过程。镜头随着路径延伸，风景不停变换，新的叙事点不断触发，未知的情境偶然的发生，以及随之而来的诱惑与挣扎。一切就像每个人都被时代裹挟，又被欲望和现实吞噬；每个人都会产生彩色泡沫状的梦，梦里是缤纷多彩的气泡。活在当下，我怀疑时代的虚貌会不会在某一天燃烧殆尽。身在其中的理想只能随着一起燃烧，直到枯尽。
因此我乐衷于在画面中营造色彩对比强烈的繁复重叠，其质感与这个时代多维的“色彩”有关，色彩是能点醒灰暗掩盖的自我意识的工具。假设黑暗被一道光亮指明了方向，色彩则是创造世界的方法之一。欲望与快感，是想象与现实的笔，哪怕现实沾满笔触的压力，所带来的身体与精神崩溃， 接受早已成为一种选择。
经典与流行，在时代面前都失去了它应有的位置。我想我能做且能保持的，只是随着意识，从流飘荡，任意东西。

Burning Dream
Author/Liu Guangguang
For me, painting is like a road movie filming process on this matter. As the path extends, the scenery keeps changing, new narrative points are constantly triggered, unknown situations happen by chance, and the temptations and struggles that follow. Everyone is bound by The Times, but also by desire and reality engulfed; Everyone has colorful foamy dreams, in which colorful bubbles form. Living in the present, I wonder if the facade of The Times will burn out someday. The ideal in it can only burn with it until it dies.
Therefore, I prefer to create a strong color contrast in the picture, which is related to the multi-dimensional "color" of this era. Color is a tool to wake up the self-consciousness covered by the dark. Assuming that darkness is directed by a light, color is one of the ways to create worlds. Desire and pleasure, is the pen of imagination and reality, even if the reality is stained with the pressure of the brush, brought by the physical and mental breakdown, acceptance has become a choice.
Classics and popularity have lost their rightful place in the face of The Times. I think all I can do and keep is just let my consciousness go with the wind.
关于艺术家
About the Artist
刘銧銧，1986年生于甘肃，2009年毕业于鲁迅美术学院视觉传达设计系，现生活和工作于北京。他近年的创作逐渐从此前氤氲紫色的故事性叙事中走出，将视野凝于时代洪流之下个体的存在情态。通过对故事情境的重叠、网络图像的挪用、多重色彩的交融，他试图于画布上构建出一处处异想世界与外部现实的缝隙，借以讨论如何以更为谐趣的方式抵抗昏暗日常的裹挟。
Liu Guangguang was born in Gan Su 1986 and graduated from Luxun Art College in 2009. Now he lives and works in Beijing. In recent years, his works have gradually stepped out of the dense purple narrative and focused on the individual existence under The Times. Through the overlapping of story situations, the diversion of network images, and the blending of multiple colors, he tries to construct the gaps between the imaginary world and the external reality on the canvas, so as to discuss how to resist the dark daily binding in a more humorous way.
His main solo exhibitions include Burning Dream, Gene Gallery, Shanghai, China (2020); Liu Guangguang, X Gallery, Beijing, China (2016); Bejeweled-Liu Guangguang Solo Exhibition, Space Station, Beijing, China (2013); Wrong-Age-Liu Guangguang Solo Exhibition, Dun Gallery, Beijing, China (2010), his main group exhibitions include Let's go to the Factory, Qimu space, Beijing, China (2019); Future games -- the 4th joint exhibition of the development fund for young and middle-aged German artists, Kommunale art museum, Berlin, Germany (2019); Enter the dragon, vine space, Beijing, China (2018).
