新时代背景下岩彩画的审美价值探究——以当代艺术家莲羊的作品为例

Research on Aesthetic Value of Mineral Color Painting in the Context of the New Era--Take the Works of Contemporary Artist Lian Yang as An Example

岩彩画是在当下艺术语境中对以天然岩石微粒为材料进行绘画语言展示的绘画种类的一种称谓。岩彩画根植于中国传统文化之中,在当代,又具有多向延展的可能。它一方面秉承着一种内在的、一脉相承的东风绘画的语言逻辑;一方面在全新的时空里不断拓展自身的阐释空间,从岩彩的角度重新梳理中国绘画的历史脉络,找到其中的传统绘画基因,重新复活并传承一些曾经失落的汉唐绘画语汇。我们以岩彩的角度展开艺术思考,可以找到一个以回归东方文明为前提,立足于本土文脉的传承并探寻其当代新形态的可实施方案。当代艺术家和岩彩艺术研究者莲羊的绘画理念及绘画作品,正是以岩彩材质作为形式建构的基础和形式转换的通道,且能自然而然地嬗变为艺术创作的叙事方式的一个研究个案。其作品既可以延展中国传统绘画和东方的审美意象,也可体现出“材质物语”的当代创作思维意象,作为当代艺术的中国方式及当代创作的独特视角,莲羊的岩彩画作品,为我们展示出更具有开放性与多样化的未来空间。
