当企图寻找确切的造型或清晰的线索，陈量与于航的图像仿似面前的道道屏障。此刻，跟随其中无意识的活动轨迹，那些身体行动和感知的踪影，一片迷宫般的莽原在文字与绘画语言的模糊边际间，历史和文明的界碑外徐徐展开，巨石与沟壑，杂草与鸟迹，皆是这片莽原上光怪陆离的生命力。
When trying to find the exact shape or clear clues, the images of Chen Liang and Yu Hang are like barriers in front of them. At this moment, following the tracks of unconscious activities, the traces of physical actions and perceptions, a labyrinth-like wilderness is between the blurred borders of words and paintings, and the boundaries of history and civilization are unfolding slowly, boulders and ravines, weeds and bird tracks, are all the eccentric vitality on this wilderness.

陈量幼时与庙宇和宗教有着密切联系，他师于前来村落中作画的⺠间艺人，埋下探索⺠间仪式、神秘主义与信仰机制的种子。以此出发，陈量展现了其在皮革或宣纸上晦涩扭曲的书写痕迹（或是不假思索的作画），隐晦的表达在陈量看来实为一种与社会及自然的直接联系。拙朴的气息同样可⻅于于航的作品中：他在反复的涂抹和协调中，取得瞬间的形象。如于航所言，这些形象的含义似乎每时每秒都在变化，从日常所见中取得，而又随着时空转移。我们无法发现哪些权力在释放着指令，亦无法断言那些混乱的痕迹仅存于自然的无机。
Chen Liang had close ties with temples and religion in his childhood. He studied with artists who came to the village to paint and planted the seeds for exploring the rituals, mysticism and belief mechanisms of the village. Starting from this, Chen Liang shows his obscure and twisted writing traces (or paintings without thinking) on leather or rice paper, the obscure expression is actually a direct connection with society and nature in Chen Liang's eyes. The atmosphere of simplicity can also be seen in Yu Hang's works: he obtains an instant image through repeated smearing and coordination. As Yu Hang said, the meanings of these images seem to change every second, taken from what we see in daily life, and transferred with time and space. We cannot discover which powers are giving orders, nor can we assert that the traces of chaos exist only in the inorganic nature of nature.

《龙牌神马》，以“龙牌”作为权力的象征，经由不同媒介的转换脱离神圣空间而呈现纪念碑式图像的象征意义。又以“神马”——最具⺠族特征的图腾之一作为延续，蕴含着自然崇拜和⺠间信仰的弥散。这种以超越和混杂带来的模糊成为⺠族志式的叙事，呈现出精神能量的强大。
“Long Pai Shen Ma" uses "Long Pai" as a symbol of power, and presents the symbolic meaning of monumental images through the transformation of different media to leave the sacred space. It is also continued with “Shen Ma", one of the most characteristic totems of the ethnic group, which contains the dispersion of nature worship and belief among the tribes. This ambiguity brought about by transcendence and hybridity becomes an ethnographic narrative, showing the power of spiritual energy.

两种寓意与二人所创造的图像，既是形式上的互文，亦是创作维度上的异曲同工。视觉能量迫使观者闯入莽原，权力主体的回避引导观者转向非指定性的精神性思考。如涂尔干所说，“如果图腾制度选择自然物种作为标志，这只是因为这种物种在图腾之前就已经成为仪式态度的对象了”，那么具体对象的离场所带来的更多想象空间，将目光转向自身，在信仰与欲望间踱步，在美术史和媒介表述中由隔阂带来革新。
The two meanings and the images created by the two are not only intertextual in form, but also similar in creative dimension. The visual energy forces the viewer to enter the wilderness, and the avoidance of the power subject leads the viewer to turn to non-specified spiritual thinking. As Durkheim said, "If the totem system chooses a natural species as a symbol, it is only because this species has become the object of ritual attitude before the totem", then the departure of the specific object brings more imagination space, turning his attention to himself, pacing between beliefs and desires, and bringing innovation through estrangement in art history and media expression.
关于艺术家
陈量现生活、工作于杭州和北京。幼时跟随村里画庙师傅学习书法和神像绘制，成年后在陕西科技大学学习无机非金属材料工程专业，后于中央美术学院实验艺术学院就读，并获得硕士学位。自2012年成为职业艺术家以来，他的创作和研究基于对地方知识的田野考察、古代仪式、文字起源和人类书写的传统，并始终朝着挖掘被隐藏的历史和书写普遍性的状态前进。由于受到民间仪式、神秘主义和长青哲学的启发，常使他思考如何将零碎、混杂的民间思想以书写的方式重建。这使其工作包括以图像学和文献收集、出版、田野、纪录片、写作、诗歌、剧场、书法和绘画等各种方式展开，构建了其复杂的诗意视野。他还对理论研究、民间亚文化、艺术乡建、以及地方传说和信仰充满热情，并于2020年创立仪式民众剧团（CPT）。他的工作执着于挖掘、重新发现和解释呈现那些曾经迷失、未闻和被掩埋的痕迹和声音。
于航1987年生于吉林，肄业于上海大学美术学院。现居住和工作于上海。
