语言成为审美的踪迹

     ——罗敏近期的绘画

Tracing Aesthetics Through Expression

- Recent works of Luo Min

He Guiyan

在罗敏较为早期的创作中,艺术家侧重于现实性的题材,注重主题,强调叙事,并且以具象性的语言为主。在近期的创作中,艺术家明显调整了自己的创作方向:从对外部现实的关照转向个人内心的情感表达,从强调主题性转向绘画行为的日常性,从具象的描述性语言转向书写性。以《花间集》《游春记》系列为代表,先前的现实主义题材被以花鸟、植物等为对象的主题所取代。在中国的绘画传统中,花鸟画不仅有完备的发展谱系,更积淀着东方的、古典时期的审美趣味。罗敏钟情于花鸟,在绘画中描绘梅、兰、竹、菊,不仅因为这些题材承载着东方化的自然意识,而且,还被赋予了浓郁的人文气息。

Artist Luo Min engages herself in mostly realistic subjects in her early works, emphasizing themes and narratives in predominantly figurative language. However, her recent works highlight a shift in her practice. Her concern of external reality evolves to express her innate emotions; the emphasis on subject matter moves toward the everyday nature of painting; her descriptive literary style transforms to an expressive inscription. The appearance of subjects such as flowers, birds, and plants in her series “Amid Flowers” and “A Journey to Spring” shows wane in her focus on realism. Bird-and-flower is a well-established genre in traditional Chinese painting that embodies the oriental aesthetic appeal during the classical period. Luo Min certainly holds the subject in a privileged place, depicting plums, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums in her painting for their symbolic oriental representation of nature and strong literati qualities.

对于罗敏来说,题材的转变与语言的转向几乎是同步的。就拿作品中花卉、植物的处理来说,既符合西方绘画的审美习惯,也有中国传统绘画的韵味,既有再现的、写实的,也有写意的、表现性的。语言在传统与当代之间不断的转换,不管是西方的还是东方的、或具象或表现,互为参照,相得益彰。当然,语言的转向既涉及到修辞,最终也会主宰画面的趣味。在最新的作品中,观众一方面会感受到厚重的笔触,油画媒介所形成的肌理;另一方面,画面中也有大量的类似于传统中国画中的“飞白”,以及纯粹的线性表达。总体来说,新作更强调诗化的语言、意象的表达,追求逸笔草草,直抒胸臆。可以看到,罗敏希望立足于当代文化的语境,积极地寻求对传统的绘画与视觉资源予以转换,注重审美趣味向传统、向东方化的审美观念的回归。

This shift in subject matter and artistic language occurs almost simultaneously for the artist. Using a hybrid approach of reinterpretation, realism, abstraction and expressiveness, her portrayal of flower and plant pays homage to the conventional aesthetic appeal in Western painting as well as the charm of traditional Chinese painting. Her artistic language is fluid. It alternates between traditional and contemporary, the West and the East, the figurative and the symbolic, yet pays mutual reference and reinforces the other at the same time. Undoubtedly, each decision marks a difference in technique and dictates the overall sensibility of the canvas. In Luo Min's latest works, viewers could trace the heaviness of brushwork and the textural quality of the oil medium. Furthermore, the paintings are charged with ink wisps that resemble the 'feibai' technique in Chinese painting and lyrical linework. Altogether, these new works add a more significant focus on the poetics of expressiveness and the manifestation of imagery-- the sweeping brushwork lunges towards us as sincere reflections from the heart. It harnesses her attempt to reinterpret traditional painting and visual motifs through a contemporary stylistic expression, and her assertion on the return of classic oriental view of aesthetics.

当然,在另一些作品中,罗敏也十分重视作品的观念表达。比如,在《川南忆》系列中,画面时常会出现各种类似于“拼贴”的色块与图像。这些色块既对画面进行分割,也制造了不同的视觉区域。图像既是一种提示,使其与个人的记忆或生活经历相关,同时,它让时间凝固,使其定格于画面。所谓的观念化,在于语言成为了审美的踪迹,既是一种视觉的提示,也让叙事的连贯性被迫中断。事实上,语言的观念化与语言转向的背后,实质源于罗敏自身艺术追求的变化。在语言与修辞的层面,罗敏希望既与传统相连,又使其具有当代气息。减弱社会学的叙事,源于对绘画性的倚重。对绘画性的捍卫,也是希望绘画走向纯粹,即绘画只关乎绘画自身。如此以来,绘画创作犹如修禅,如果剥离掉语言,那么,绘画完全成为一种个人化的行为。通过《花间集》《川南忆》《心经》等系列作品,绘画的推进本质上是罗敏不断与自然、与生命、与自我的一次次对话。虽然本次展览以小幅纸本为主,但它们以点构成面,从微观出发,让我们可以近距离感受到艺术家的语言变化与创作轨迹。

Luo Min also reveals an attention toward conceptual expression in her other series, notably in 'Memories of Southern Sichuan' series, which consists works that are collaged in colour blocks and images. The colour blocks appear to render the overall pictorial composition and create a variety of visual areas. While the images allude to an individual's memories or personal life experiences, each seemingly has the capacity to freeze time into a frame. Conceptualisation resides in the visual language becomes an aesthetic trail, acting both as a visual cue and disruption to narrative coherence. The conceptualisation and shift in Luo Min's artistic language derived from the change in her creative pursuit. Luo Min seeks to knead tradition with contemporary qualities in terms of visual language and technical expression, minimise the socio-narrative aspect to focus on the painterly. This stance is also a desire to return painterliness to its fundamentals, i.e., painting for what it essentially is. In this way, painting is like practising Zen; if language is stripped away, painting becomes an entirely personal act. Through her series 'Amid Flowers', 'Memories of Southern Sichuan,' and 'Heart Sutra,' Luo Min continues the dialogue of nature, life, and self, thereby transcending the essence of painting. While most of the works in this exhibition comprise small paper works, they coalesce to form a mass. Just as all creation process begins from a single point, they draw us into a closer experience of the artist's everchanging language and creative trajectory.
