《迹•象•境——钟孺乾绘画学术研究展》
在中国美术馆举行
2007年4月20日至4月26日,由中国美术家协会、湖北省美术家协会、中南民族大学主办,人民美术出版社、北京可创铭佳艺苑、读画楼协办的《迹•象•境——钟孺乾绘画学术研究展》将在中国美术馆举行。此展由中国美术馆馆长范迪安先生担任展览策划人,并邀请著名理论家刘骁纯先生共同担任此次展览的学术主持。
钟孺乾先生1950年生于湖北,曾任湖北省美术院副院长,一级美术师。现为中南民族大学教授,美术学院院长。上世纪九十年代以来,他开始借助柔术、杂技和娱乐城等通俗题材,专注于“重彩写意”的创作实践,把由“墨”和“色”构成的画面痕迹和视觉形象幻化处理,关注作品的“灵性”与“意味”的并存,“使笔墨和形象化生一体”,表达对人生、人性的思考和讽喻。他把这种恣意的线和幻化的形命名为“迹象”,并经过十余年的理论探究,2004年出版发行了专著《绘画迹象论》,该著作不仅是钟孺乾先生致力于现代艺术理论“基本建设”的重要研究成果,也成为作者艺术实践的辅证。2004年《绘画迹象论》入选《中国学术年鉴》,中国美术学院等艺术院校将之列为博士生考试参考书或本科生、硕士生现代美术史教材。
钟孺乾先生的艺术,“不仅在于找到那些语言关系的抑扬,并由此解释了当代性感悟的艺术生存和表达方式,而且更为重要的一点,则是他的个人化方式,为当代的彩墨实验提供了某种超越时效性的稳定体验。”(沈伟)在艺术日益国际化和市场化的背景下,他的艺术理论研究则是“中国现代美术理论建设迈出的新步伐。虽然它还没有完成迹象论的整个事业,但重要的是,它已经开启了一个事业,并且为迹象论大厦打下了良好的基础。而它的意义又超出了迹象论本身。”(刘骁纯)
作为钟孺乾先生从艺三十余年的阶段成果展,此次研究展展出钟孺乾先生自90年代以来创作的66件作品,其间安排《绘画迹象论》的视觉陈述内容等相关资料。并邀请30名国内知名美术理论家和画家参加学术研讨会。另外,人民美术出版社还将举行《绘画迹象论》再版的相关活动。

自二十世纪八十年代以来,中国绘画出现了很大变化,一批出生于五十年代、历经“文化革命”和改革开放的画家,坚持依照中国文化的发展脉络,推动传统向前走。钟孺乾的拓展是双重的:一方面它在绘画实践中致力于语言的创新,“以新的迹象,建造新的境界”,借助柔术、杂技等通俗娱乐题材,表达对人性、自然的观照,同时在“重彩写意”的理念下,把水墨与色彩结合起来,呈现出与楚美术和民间美术相联系的独特风格。另一方面,钟孺乾积十余年的思考,写成《绘画迹象论》,并以此提倡进行现代艺术理论的“基本建设”,发表以来,引起理论界、艺术界和艺术教育界的反响。此展不仅是一个艺术家理论与实践的互证,在艺术日益国际化和市场化的背景下,钟孺乾的思考和实践应具有特殊的意味。
The past few decades has witnessed a great change of painting in China. Thanks to the reform and open policy, painters who were born in the 1950s and survived the Cultural Revolution have revived in their art life, and they have been pushing forward the great tradition of Chinese painting since the 1980s.
ZHONG Ruqian is one of those painters, and he has been developing himself both in practice and theory. In his artistic creation, he has been devoting himself to creating a new painting language----expressing himself by painting subjects of popular entertainments such as acrobatics and jujutsu, blending water and ink and color into his painting, and adopting strong coloring in his freehand brushwork. Thus, he has established himself with a unique style featuring the folk art and the local Chu art. Along his artistic creation, ZHONG has been approaching to painting theoretically over the past ten years, highlighted by his monograph On Painting: Trace and Image, which was published by People’s Fine Arts Publishing House in 2004. In the publication, he advocates “infrastructure construction” of modern art theories, which has found its echoes among Chinese artists, art theorists and art educators.
This exhibition, therefore, is more than an interactive display of the artists’ theory and practice. It is of special significance in our time when art tends to be commercialized in the global village.
