寻找精神栖居的家园——对当代油画创作的一些反思

Searching for the home of spirit——a brief idea of temporary oil painting

人类历史进入到新的世纪,二十一世纪是一个既高速发展又极其混杂的时代。它以极其迅猛的速度和力量改变着人们的生活方式和价值观念。对艺术而言,人们对机械式重复的依赖与快餐式审美的追求,必然导致富有个性化的语言的转变。在这种社会环境下,个人如不向公众的审美趣味妥协,就很可能成为自弹自吟的现代隐居者。而这种社会现状,又恰恰是投机与媚俗艺术家狂欢的舞台。面对这样一个解构高尚、解构英雄主义的时代,在艺术正日益趋向荒诞、肤浅、矫情的社会背景下,油画创作如何把握个人价值取向,处理好艺术形式与个体思想的关系,从而让我们的艺术承载起最重要的东西——我们精神栖居的家园,是一个值得反思的问题。

When human beings came to the new century, we find that the society of 21st century develops extremely quickly and this era is somewhat confusing. It gready changes people＇s life style and value. As for art, the pursuit of simple and easy appreciation of the beautiful inevitably leads to the changes of personal language, under the situation, if artist don＇t compromise, they will be separated from the outside world and deserted by the public. The current situation is a special stage for those artists who only want to please the public. The age was expected to analyze the nobility and heroism, but it has the tendency to be absurd and superficial, under this circumstance, how to choose a good personal value system and how to deal with the relationship between the forms of art and personal thoughts is very important. Therefore art can take the responsibility to convey the most important thing the spirit of artists.
