论中国当代油画创作的模糊热

Frenzied Illegibility of Chinese Contemporary Oil Painting

模糊是开放的、流动的,在不确定中彰显着一种若隐若现、含而不露的过度美。模糊与清晰是相对的,清晰地表现物象自然是西方油画的传统。模糊性绘画在油画领域里面伴随着拥有几百年的发展历程的写实清晰性绘画一同发展,我们往往只能在负空间中才能寻找到它的身影,其陪衬作用是显而易见的。人们习惯于清晰的作品,一目了然容易受到观众的青睐。模糊性绘画常常处于被忽视的地位,这与开放的时代背景要求多元的文化需求是相悖的。没有模糊何来清晰,一切清晰都是相对的清晰。随着社会的发展,纷繁复杂的社会要求决定了模糊性绘画在当代社会文化发展中同样具有现实意义。

Fuzzy form as one category of contemporary art is the opposite of clearness. Vague pattern transmits its tension by means of movement and fluctuation, by general appearances of the paintings, which are mysterious obscure, implicit and full of meaningness. With the long history of the development in west oil paintings, fuzziness is ignored by artists and audience. People including critics scarcely study its value. People used to seeing clear patterns, concreteness is easily understood. But it is truth that everything is relative. Fuzziness is always developing with clear drawing art. Vague pattern is opening, which presents a sort of vague beauty, the uncertainty of its medium, mutual permeability, mutual mingling, mutual converting of the flowing cross-areas and intermediate areas, forming an uncertain state of fuzzy similarities and differences. So it is essential for us to study the value of fuzziness.
