羅敏:OBSERVE 開幕時間:2020/12/19 18:00–20:00 開始時間:2020/12/19 結(jié)束時間:2021/01/24 展覽地點:178 Bleecker Street 2nd floor New York, NY 10012 參展藝術(shù)家:羅敏 主辦單位:紐約Time Arts (紐約時代) 羅敏在紐約 文 / 李蕊 2020的一次暫停鍵,讓人們冷靜的望向外界看向自身,再次成為了真正意義上的“觀看”者,這一理性審視,從而更加凸顯了觀看原本中立的意義。世界在災難中需要重新自我修復,同樣,藝術(shù)也需要找回理想的開端,那個真正有歸屬感的精神領(lǐng)域,也是藝術(shù)家羅敏多年來所探求的方向。 在日常中,羅敏關(guān)注著紐約的建筑、紐約的天際線、紐約的26號碼頭、紐約的行人,如同置身事外的疏離感帶給她一種冷靜,她真實的感受著外界與自己內(nèi)在的變化,思考尋找著“繪畫”最初的本質(zhì),那是從西方的繪畫程式中抽離出來,去除既有的技法與個人風格,舍棄偏見的思想立場。 于是,她嘗試在一種新媒介“合成紙”上去尋找這種答案,過程緩慢而又艱澀。在陌生的紙張上,她結(jié)合了丙烯、中國顏料、墨的特性,留下既不討巧他人、也不炫耀自己技法的作畫痕跡。面對密集簇擁的建筑,甚至如同笨拙的孩童用上了直尺,耗費近兩個月的時間來完成一幅《窗外通往新澤西》作品,只是在衡量著繪畫這一“描繪”的意義。在羅敏深遠意境的美學中,她的作品更為趨向?qū)懸獾谋磉_,構(gòu)成了獨特的張力。而人性化依舊是羅敏作品中的精神靈魂,不變的是她對事物背后的隱喻意義的追求,和用這種平實的繪畫方法強化這隱喻的力量。 米蘭昆德拉曾說:“表面是清晰明了的謊言,背后卻是晦澀難懂的真相?!绷_敏的新作,以一種干凈洗練的色彩與生動的形態(tài)開啟故事的開端,促使我們深入的去讀取畫作背后隱喻的語言。她用女性藝術(shù)家獨有的細膩、充滿溫情的手法,詮釋了對這個熙來熙往繁華都市中遇見的孤獨、寂寥的另一面,或許透過這些現(xiàn)實的存在表象,往往被人忽視的一面才更為真實。一如日常的生活中她對自己的內(nèi)在反省,那一只因為失誤操作而被她偷偷替換的《綠水壺》,看似幽默的自嘲了她試圖掩飾自己失誤的一刻,誰說又不是對現(xiàn)實的一種隱喻? 羅敏,這位成熟的當代藝術(shù)家,她恪守內(nèi)心的理想信念。在她的繪畫中充滿了她對生活那種鮮活的感受,留下了經(jīng)過她的感覺和記憶過濾過的景象。她以一種回歸藝術(shù)最本質(zhì)的態(tài)度,來喚醒人們內(nèi)心對世界的再一次的重新審視。她又一次向我們展現(xiàn)了,繪畫其實是種心靈的自由,同樣,這也是藝術(shù)與人的自由。 2020.12.7 隨 記 文 / 羅敏 2020年是一道魔咒,從年初到年末,人類從大慌亂中開始,而后是席卷全球……一切的惡都浮出水面,反思和懺悔只是假象,傷疤會好的,痛比傷忘得更快。好吧,盡情發(fā)揮,假想我們真的站在了游戲高潮。 此時我抽離于一個遙遠的角落,從清晨到日落,最是喜歡那無人時的街道和寂寥的碼頭,沒有風格,沒有修飾。我用簡單的語言和陌生的紙,俯身在潔凈的玻璃窗邊去仔細描繪?!懊枥L”這個動詞有多土呀!但那是我年少時經(jīng)常使用的,所以我不嫌棄。用這種方式畫房畫街畫海水,畫碼頭邊的少年與狗,他們是這個凄清世界的最好,我由此去找回理想的開端。 綠色的壺是一個意外。兒子從LA買回一只和家里完全相同的黑色電咖啡壺,價格不菲,但在一個月內(nèi),我把這兩只電壺都盛滿水,錯位地放在旁邊的天然氣爐上點燃了。完全相同的荒誕錯誤我竟在短短的時間內(nèi)犯了完全一樣的兩次,而且兩次看到燃燒起來的鍋底,我都同樣頭腦一片空白不知何故。我驚愕于自己的錯誤,兩次都是第一時間把燒壞的壺扔掉,抹去一切作案現(xiàn)場,心虛不已。事后我買回一只綠色的燒水壺,放在那個作案的燃氣火頭位置,看上去一切完美,真相徹底消失,再也不會有錯。其實每每看到綠鐵壺我就想起這個案底,當然,一切都已掩藏和銷毀,因為真相實在不利于健康,歲月需要靜好。 2020.11.29 Min Luo in New York By Rui LI The year 2020 is like a pause but-ton, encour-ag-ing peo-ple to slow down in our fast-paced world and take time to be present with them-selves. We become “observers” to this world as well as our lives. The ratio-nal exam-i-na-tion of “observ-ing” implies the neu-tral-i-ty atti-tude. The world needs to repair itself amidst dis-as-ters. Sim-i-lar-ly, art also needs to go back to the ide-al begin-ning. The spir-i-tu-al realm that rep-re-sents a sense of belong-ing is what artist Min Luo has been seek-ing for these years. Dur-ing the quar-an-tine, Luo pays extra atten-tion to New York’s archi-tec-tures, sky-lines, piers, and the pedes-tri-ans, as if the alien-ation from the out-side world brings her calm-ness. She has been expe-ri-enc-ing the changes of the out-side world and with-in her-self, explor-ing the essence of the art. The jour-ney of explo-ration is not only extract from the West-ern canon, tech-niques, and per-son-al style, but also dis-card from the prej-u-diced ide-ol-o-gy. Attempt-ing to find an answer, she tried to cre-ate arts on a new medi-um – syn-thet-ic paper. The process was slow and dif-fi-cult. On this unfa-mil-iar paper, she com-bined the char-ac-ter-is-tics of acrylic, Chi-nese pig-ments, and ink, leav-ing traces of paint-ing that nei-ther flat-tered oth-ers nor showed off her tech-niques. In the cre-ation of dense-ly clus-tered build-ings in New York, she even used a ruler, like a clum-sy child. It took her near-ly two months to com-plete a piece of “Out-side the Win-dow Lead-ing to New Jer-sey,” only to mea-sure the con-cept of the depic-tion. A nat-ur-al mas-ter of the artis-tic con-cep-tion of aes-thet-ics, Luo express-es rep-re-sen-ta-tion through her unique free-hand brush-work. Human-iza-tion is still the core of her art-works. Despite the changes in media, what remains unchanged is her pur-suit of the metaphor-i-cal mean-ings behind any sub-ject and the uti-liza-tion of sim-ple yet pow-er-ful paint-ing meth-ods that strength-en the metaphor-i-cal lan-guages. As writer Milan Kun-dera once said, “On the sur-face, an intel-li-gi-ble lie; under-neath, the unin-tel-li-gi-ble truth.”Min Luo’s new series presents us with the sto-ry of clean and refined col-ors and vivid forms, only urg-ing us to deci-pher the depth of the metaphor-i-cal lan-guages under-neath the paint-ing. Using the del-i-cate yet gen-tle tech-niques that espe-cial-ly speak to female artists, she express-es the lone-li-ness that she has encoun-tered in this pros-per-ous city. Per-haps only under-neath the sur-face of real-i-ty shows the often-over-looked truth. Just like how she self-reflects in her life, the “Green Ket-tle” that was secret-ly replaced by her because of her mis-takes in burn-ing the oth-er two ket-tles seem-ing-ly humor-ous self-dep-re-cat-ing moment when she tried to bury her mis-takes. Isn’t this anoth-er metaphor for real-i-ty? A mature con-tem-po-rary artist, Luo abides by her inner ide-ol-o-gy. Her paint-ings are full of her vivid feel-ings of life, depict-ing the scenes fil-tered by her mem-o-ries and emo-tions. With an ongo-ing search of return-ing to the essence of art, she awak-ens people’s inner world to reex-am-ine the out-side world. She demon-strates to us that paint-ing can be an expres-sion of free-dom from the soul, as well as free-dom of art and peo-ple. 2020.12.7 Notes By Min Luo The year 2020 seems like a curse, from the begin-ning of the year till the last few days. It start-ed as a pan-ic among mankind, then swept the whole world… All evils sur-faced, regrets and repen-tance are just illu-sions. Pain is for-got-ten where scars heal. Sure, let’s get it – just imag-ine we are stand-ing still at the cli-max of the game. Mean-while, I was pulling away from a far cor-ner. From sun-rise to sun-set, I pre-fer emp-ty streets and lone-ly piers when the city is asleep with no peo-ple wan-der-ing. No styles. No dec-o-ra-tions. Using sim-ple lan-guage and unfa-mil-iar paper, I leaned over my win-dow to depict. How cliché is the verb depict! But it was used fre-quent-ly in my child-hood, so I don’t dis-like it. In this way, I depict-ed hous-es, streets, seas, as well as the teenagers and dogs on the piers. They are the best in this bleak world, so I could trav-el to where all this start-ed. The green ket-tle was an acci-dent. My son bought back a black cof-fee mak-er from LA that was exact-ly the same as the one at home. They were not cheap. With-in a month, I burned both ket-tles by fill-ing them with water and plac-ing them on the heat-ed stove, which burned them. I made this absurd mis-take twice in a short amount of time. My mind went blank both times. I was amazed by my mis-take. Both times, I threw away the burnt ket-tles as if I was eras-ing evi-dence from a crime scene. I felt guilty. After I burned the sec-ond ket-tle, I bought a green ket-tle and replaced it on the exact same spot where I com-mit-ted the “crime.” Every-thing seemed to be per-fect, and the truth is buried. There would be no more mis-takes. How-ev-er, every time I land my eyes on the green iron pot, I think of the “crime.” Of course, no evi-dence can be found, because there’s some truth is not need-ed in a peace-ful and healthy life. 2020.11.29 關(guān)于藝術(shù)家/ABOUT THE ARTIST 羅敏 ,中國當代藝術(shù)家,曾在亞洲和歐洲多個國家舉辦過個展和聯(lián)展。 近期個展: 2020年 “觀看” 紐約時代畫廊 美國2018年 “幸存的詩意” 米格畫廊 巴塞羅那2017年 “它界之花——羅敏個展” 馬拉加阿拉勞林羅賓松文化中心 西班牙2016年 “看見時光——羅敏作品展” 復言社 北京2015年 “歸心兩暢——羅敏油畫作品展” 北京畫院美術(shù)館 北京2013年 “路過 既成為風景——羅敏紙本繪畫展” 今日美術(shù)館 北京2011年 “日常之鏡——2011 羅敏繪畫展” 今日美術(shù)館 北京Min Luo , Chi-nese Con-tem-po-rary Artist, has held solo and group exhi-bi-tions in mul-ti-ple coun-tries in Asia and Europe.
