When historybe
comes mirror, time is turned into dust, the dust on the mirror after smear,we
can clearly see a real , ourselves he also may be reflecting that we need any
kind of realm.vincent. in his paintings displayed in your life a secret mood of
the world, this world has anxiety and concern. Vigilance or anxiety.
Them under the
guise of the Western classical narrative images and the traditional Chinese
garden purport to a“helpess persons”stance against the immediate loss of the
value of the disorder in the community, and cultural defeat vincent the past
two years has focused on the performance of the northern wilderness scenes,
make every effort to defeat the landscape in search of dry gradually
disappearing natural and human care.
In the field
of contemporary painting, landscape as an art concept vehicle has rarely
advertised and art is interested before. Modern art has been concerned abut the
traditional landscape is considered to be already passing away of agricultural
civilization, a conservative nostalgia.
The label is a
moden science and technology, capital, political regimes or rebel times the
dominant materialistic values only reflected in the modern urban life into.
Avant-garde artists are more interested in the concept of fashion and a more
intuitive visual effects, although there Anselm·Kiefel, Liu Wei and othre new
expressionist style of the artist in the fragmented langmented landscape of
contemporary spirit of the mining areas of wayward defeat, but the depicts the
landscape is still not a manipulation of art subjects.
The natural
landscape of the human characteristics of neutral and restrained, do not have
the visual images to stimulate chi, or sociological superiority. Too many
contemporary art works of art misinterpreted as merely ingratiated themselves
to meet the communication of the image media, the value of artistic beauty is
being devoured social attitudes, there is nothing close to real events than the
more attractive to the viewer a brief taste, but the direct symbolic
presentation on how to generate spiritual resonance?
Landscape or
the landscape itself can not describe the mose intuitive and effective
embodiment of the face of contemporary society, or the instant success the
moment it is contrary to the limitations of artistic expression. Form thin
perspective, Vincent is now the artistic style and contemporary painting
“mainstream”can be said to be distanced.
China more
than 20 years of avant-garde art, having emerged from the Cultural
Revolution-style sing the praises of the political mouthpiece of the identity,
but also by the academic skills in fun science experiments evolved to become an
independent perfect art system. But now, it turned to the general flow of
social discourse of popular expression of the reality of contemporary art to
make a direct function of the presentation and interpretation, too much
emphasis on political and conceptual avant-garde nature.
In the use of
everyday life a physical media（text slogans on the experience of
reading or physical injury）,while also working hard to guide the
spirit of the moment relative lack of alienation between them dig a mutually
isoated gully. A Taihang Mountain Brigade vincent brings a new elegance to make
changes, but also let the “Landscape” series, a little tired of the dry exposed
success or failure can be relieved scene.
The vitality
of the screen using moist replaced the original condensation like solemn,
Vincent gave him for this new series is called “Gone with the wind” series. “Gone
with the wind” mapping the situation of the artist and the state of mind at the
moment, years of “floating” life has
begun to allow him to accept and enjoy such a state, “Gone with the wind” has
been the root of the ups and downs of a non-elevated to elegant comfortable in
self-sufficiency.
“Gone with the
wind ” series of paintings work of traditional Chinese landscape painting
directly to the vertical axis pattern, inherited the Chinese song and yuan
landscape style of the Toshihaya and blending conditions on the nature of
humanistic care, but also inherited the great European classical paintings of
the majestic boldness of vision, Even the pen is also with interest and in
point of the Impressionist landscapes painted with traditional Chinese ox hair
Cunfa small lock.
Immersive
color screen rocks, transparent green trees, quiet and lofty sky, skirted the
instantaneous or permanent aircraft, the hustle and bustle of modern industrial
civilization in the Vincent of the screen, turns into a kind of human spirit
and harmonious embellishment.
In “Gone with
the wind” series, a number of works by Vincent uses a peculiar way of space to
create-multi-viewpoint perspective of contemplation. This idea comes from
traditional Chinese painting in the scatter perspective, but also a scientific
reference to Dali surrealism, but this composition dose not have the sense of
surreal machinery put yogether, it is not intended to reveal the visual images
abstruse, while the mean space,far-reaching and mood expression.
Civilization,
the pastoral and agricultural landscape breeds of China’ s traditional arts,
this implies a culture of harmony and romance is a born virtuous and
tranquility. Wang Wensheng scenery is always revealed the sad and the books of modern
writers of Juan Xiu, writing classical broad landscape and weather sensing sad,
loud colors present in between the Yin Qing.
Micro-trivial
to escape the absurdity of urban life with dazzling fragmens,Wang Wen-sheng’s “Gone
with the wind” as the tired contemporary people a meditation or spiritual ideal
for at Hermitage.
