 Bruno Knutman The Valand Academy of Fine Art, Gothenburg, Sweden Académie Libre, Stockholm, Sweden Polytechnic Art School, London, United Kingdom 布鲁诺·努特曼，瑞典艺术家、插画家、舞台设计师。在瑞典国内，他被称为“画家中的画家”。 任何花费一些时间在布鲁诺努特曼画作上的人都会发现一些重复出现的符号或谜题式的元素。比如鼻子伸进树干的女人，吹小号的猫咪，或者是山丘上绿色的房屋和模式化的火焰以及天文台等。窗外有迷人的景致和蜿蜒曲折的小路通向未知之地等等。作品中不同的道具、人物和场景就像无休止的戏剧不断上演，只不过这是一部无声「戏剧」，随着观者对故事情节了解的越多，叙事便逐渐变得奇特怪异。努特曼的图像对观者而言有一种不稳定性，略有扭曲的构图加之天真的风格和柔和的色彩，这种组合方式会产生一种矛盾的效果——看上去既有毫无生气的慵懒，也有微妙奇异的活力。 努特曼画中的象征意味来源于1930年代瑞典马尔默被战争阴影笼罩着的日常生活，比如圣诞树上的蜡烛和礼物是一种对战争的防御，火焰象征着毁灭和破坏；猫吹小号则代表着警示。 努特曼开始「流行」艺术创作时，波普艺术还是新生事物，而努特曼的特立独行被看作是一种「低级」的图像类型，但是，他绘画中的「现代性」又具有一定的欺骗性，与流行音乐的乐观主义所不同，努特曼的画作中带有一种神秘的忧郁情绪，也更接近超现实主义的梦幻图景。 在我看来，努特曼的绘画具有一种简单而深刻的不安，仿佛纠缠不休又相互矛盾的张力在光明与黑暗、轻快与悲哀之间轻盈转换。 Evig kärlek / Eternal Love, 2017 Oil on canvas 15 7/10 × 15 7/10 in 40 × 40 cm Glödande sol / Glowing Sun, 2017 Oil on canvas 25 3/5 × 21 3/10 in 65 × 54 cm Min barndom II / My Childhood II, 2017 Oil on canvas 23 3/5 × 19 7/10 in 60 × 50 cm Nattstycke / Night Piece, 2017 Oil on canvas 15 7/10 × 15 7/10 in 40 × 40 cm Lejonkramen / The Lion Hug, 2016 Oil on canvas 23 3/5 × 19 7/10 in 60 × 50 cm Woman Against White Background, 2016 Oil on canvas 15 7/10 × 15 7/10 in 40 × 40 cm Kvinna i svart / Woman in Black, 2016 Oil on canvas 15 7/10 × 15 7/10 in 40 × 40 cm
