Knowing How Things will Develop through a Sign: Lv Lin’s “Rubbing Print” and His Path of Exploration

吕林丰富多元的版画艺术创作,不仅折射出自身的艺术主张,更展现了其艺术思想的自觉。本文从吕林一系列的石膏版画拓片作品入手,强调从个体出发,探究其主观努力与客观环境的冲突与调和,进而指出,从文化属性上看,作品体现出艺术家对民族艺术养分的汲取;从艺术观照的维度上看,作品是对所处现实生活的挖掘;从艺术观念上看,是在中西文化融合背景下对本土现代性的颇有意味的一种艺术实践。基于这样的考量,本文将吕林的艺术创作置于中国版画艺术的形式创新历程中加以考察、比较,以此廓清他的探索路径、艺术主张,以及艺术创作背后的推动要素。
