刍议笔墨观念对中国水彩画审美意象的建构

A Probe into Constructing Aesthetic Image of Chinese Watercolor Paintings via Concept of Pen and Ink

本文探讨中国画笔墨思想与当代水彩审美意象建构之间的关联。水彩画家试图从本民族文化艺术传统和美学理论中汲取用以改造现代水彩画的艺术语汇,以笔墨观念为核心的中国绘画理论与当代水彩艺术创作实践相融合,有意识地摆脱了以往以西方艺术话语为中心的评价体系,从而构建起具有中国艺术审美特色的水彩画派,并以此推动了水彩画的民族化和本土化进程。

This paper probes into the relationship between Chinese concept of pen and ink and construction of aesthetic image of contemporary watercolor paintings. Watercolor painters attempt to absorb artistic elements from the Chinese cultural and artistic tradition and aesthetics, by which they can reform modern watercolor paintings. By integrating contemporary watercolor creations with traditional painting theories which are underpinned by the concept of brush and ink, watercolor painters consciously break the chain of the previous evaluation system dominated by western artistic discourse. With such exploratory efforts, the Watercolor School featuring Chinese aesthetics has been constructed, which substantially promotes nationalization and localization of watercolor paintings.
