前言

展览以“引力”作为主题，并非是物理学中所代指的那一种支配天体运动的唯一的力，而是艺术家的作品犹如物理学中天体各自重力所形成的对于其周边时空的扭曲，艺术家作品中所潜藏的深层次的个体记忆的追思，形成了一个关乎艺术家自我的宇宙系统。而其中每一个记忆节点便是记忆宇宙中的一个天体，悬置于记忆的宇宙之中。

艺术家将自己的作品分为“命运”、“时间的消释”、“踪迹”三个从材料和主题上来说都看似各不相同的创作系列，在每一幅作品中每一个记忆的节点均拥有着它内在的情感属性。这些代表着或许痛苦、或许忧伤、或许渴求等，不同的情感力量，也就形成了各自情感的重力。可是记忆与记忆之间并非是相互拉扯的关系，而是由各种情绪力量所绊，交互后所形成的时空扭曲。每一个记忆节点所占据的质量的不同，它与其它记忆间的相互作用也就不同。在这样的时空关系里不断地相互吞噬、再造。并在个体的记忆的时空结构框架下一直演变，让记忆不断的炸裂重组形成一个个真实的虚假世界（记忆星体）。而作品中唯一真实的，我们所能够感受到的引力则是“孤寂”。

“命运”系列的素描作品中表现出了艺术家浸入了自己不堪回首的过去之中，艺术家通过黑白灰的素描关系，在素描作品中展现出如同太阳般毒辣的灼烧之感的记忆碎片。早年的记忆无时无刻都在深深的刺痛着艺术家自己。而作为观众我所看到的却也是自己曾经无助的过往，在精神与视觉双重叠加的观感下，每一个相似的情感爆发都如同宇宙爆炸一般。

而在“时间的消释”这一系列油画作品中，我们不难发现艺术家对于过去阴霾开始有所释怀。不断的渴求得到他者的拥抱与关爱，努力的去挣脱孤独的枷锁。而“拥抱”这样微不足道的渴求在艺术家记忆里都是奢求，在虚幻的画面中每一个拥抱均是艺术家在个体命运长河中微不足道的一声呼喊。但是正因为这样微不足道的向往，促使艺术家能够一步一步的走下去，不断努力地寻求自己梦中所渴求的幸福，让自己屹立于这个世界之上。

“踪迹”系列中，艺术家使用桑葚汁作为创作颜料，配合钢笔墨色的线条相互搭配，让人感受到氤氲之感，使人为之动容。每一幅作品中所展现出的纠缠不清的画面关系，犹如作者对于记忆的不断检索，和面对现实那一种杂乱无助的精神体验。

在这三种不同类型、不同主题的作品中，“记忆”承载了艺术家面对自己面对创作时的一整套的思绪，而“孤寂”便是艺术家在个体的记忆宇宙中最主要的情感。在无从获悉美好的记忆时，孤寂或许已经成为了美好的本身。但是宇宙是残酷的，不断的侵蚀、不断的演变是宇宙永恒的话题。在艺术家纷繁的一生中，孤寂最终只会成为最微不足道的引力，被其他代表着幸福的记忆天体所牵引、所改变。

"The Gravity Of Souls", the subject of the exhibition, is not the force that governs the motions of heavenly bodies, as in physics. The reflection of the deep individual memory hidden in the artist’s works forms a cosmic system that concerns the artist himself. And each memory node is a celestial body in the memory universe, suspended in the memory universe.

The artist divides his works into three series, which are seemingly different from each other in terms of materials and themes, namely "Destiny", "The melting of time" and "Trace". In each work, each memory node has its inherent emotional attribute. These represent perhaps pain, perhaps sadness, perhaps desire, etc., different emotional forces, also form their own emotional gravity. However, the relationship between memory and memory is not a mutual pull, but a space-time distortion formed after interaction caused by various emotional forces. Each memory node occupies a different mass and interacts differently with other memories. In such space-time relations, they are constantly devouring and recreating each other. And it has been evolving under the space-time structure framework of individual memory, so that memory is constantly broken and recombined to form a real false world (memory star).The only real attraction we can feel in the work is loneliness.

The "Destiny" series of sketch works show the artist immersed in his own unbearable past, through the relationship of black, white and gray sketch, the artist shows the memory fragments of the burning feeling like the sun in the sketch works. All the time, the memories of the early years deeply hurt the artist himself. As an audience, what I saw was also my helpless past. Under the double superposition of spirit and vision, each similar emotional outburst was like a cosmic explosion.

In the series of oil paintings titled "The melting of time", it is not difficult to find that the artist is beginning to get over the past haze. Constantly longing for the embrace and love of others, trying to break the shackles of loneliness. In the artist’s memory, such trivial desire for "hug" is a luxury. In the illusory picture, every hug is an insignificant cry of the artist in the river of individual destiny. However, it is precisely because of such a trivial yearning that the artist can go on step by step, constantly striving to seek the happiness he desires in his dream, so that he can stand above the world.

In the "Trace" series, artists use mulberry juice as the paint and match the ink lines with each other, making people feel dense and moving. The tangled picture relationship in each work is like the author’s constant retrieval of memory and a messy and helpless spiritual experience of facing the reality.

In these three different types of works with different themes, "memory" carries a whole set of thoughts of artists when they face their own creation, and "loneliness" is the most important emotion of artists in the individual memory universe. When cannot find a good memory, loneliness may have become a good thing. But the universe is cruel, constant erosion, constant evolution is the eternal topic of the universe. In the complicated life of an artist, loneliness will eventually become the most insignificant gravity, pulled and changed by other celestial bodies that represent happiness.
