The message of 2016 the solo exhibition of Zhang Yi

张懿作品     无用禅师野大图     100x45cm   布上综合    2016

   张懿这个人，仅从他的眼睛里就能看到一股复杂而醒目的讯息，里面有幽默谐谑，有聪敏狡黠，有洒脱玩世，有锐利率直，也有隐忍的痛感。在我看来，这种感性质 地与他在这个世界上的经历有着根本性的关系，其创作没有走向方法论化、学究化的象牙塔方向，却朝着某种混杂的状态演进。从他近几年来的作品中，我似乎看到 了一个明确的迹象：无论他如何动用叙事、图像、符号的表意和象征力量，真正凸显的还是他的感觉，这是一种基于世界观和肉身体验的感觉，而不是基于艺术本体 论的感觉。有趣的是，虽然他画画非常强调图像的叙事性和形式的自律性，但这些元素的使用都处于比较“夹生”的状态，反而是里面压抑不住的感性特质从形式和 图像的背后野蛮地跳跃出来，不肯低调地沉默。从这种视觉状态中，我们似乎可以发现这个画家的性情和精神底色，那是一种混杂着野性的底色，伴随着他在中国这 片土地上的生活经历，糅合成了一串视觉切片。“切”的针对对象在这里并不清晰，是一种情感先行的“运刀”状态，因而“切”出来的片段具有实诚的不确实性。

2015 年，他画了更多作品，将力量集中在画面完整性的建设上，同时也针对性地打磨更加完善的造型、构图、色彩、笔触的系统化技术。这批油画在叙事上更具体、完 整，同时也更加封闭、精致，文学性和某种魔幻诗意延续下来。这时期的画，题材趋于稳定，主题总是围绕着动物之间的互相殴斗和残杀展开，色彩妖艳瑰丽，洋溢 着一种残酷、末世而活跃的氛围，这或许是作者对人类历史、日常生活的一种强烈隐喻。这种画面让我想到人与人之间一种普遍的竞争对抗关系，在社会资源长期严 重不平等的形势下，人与人共在的世界似乎依循着丛林法则，而人口密集、资源缺乏、矛盾激化的中州大地，似乎就是一片让人悲伤的丛林。尽管他这一时期的画已 经很完整利落了，但绘画性的自觉仍没有到来，比如色彩关系仍在补色系统中打转，形体关系在学院化的具象体系中穿梭。尽管很多画面都被营造在复杂的光影关系 之中，但原色化的色彩、剪影般的轮廓线、肯定直接的笔触，使绘画在纵深化的空间感中透露出明确的装饰性，由于这种装饰性对画面叙事的修饰和改造，使志怪色 彩浓重的图像有了一种“花边”感，冷峻、阴晦、诡异的气味被削弱了，却搅拌出一种不易察觉的幽默感。有意无意的装饰性大约与他内在的绘画感性相关，并在他 后面的绘画中不断走上前台。就一般而言，装饰性是绘画的某种边界，绘画与工艺图像的界限就是装饰性的程度。装饰曾经是现代绘画取得突破的利器，通过平面 化、反空间化使语言获得了解放。然而装饰性与平面性之间也有微妙的区别，装饰性更倾向于一种绚丽、愉悦、规制化的形态，用“花边”来比喻装饰性非常准确， 其背后隐含着一种世俗化的冲动。从与张懿的交流中，我可以确定他在观念上能够领悟现代艺术的原则，但他绘画感性中的装饰性却说明他的审美系统并不是彻底现 代性的，更不是语言自主性的，而是与传统、学院、世俗之间有千丝万缕的关系，这让我将他的画当成一种个体化的社会心理学文献来看。

    张懿的生命经验与其处境之间总是呈现出密切的关系，画面的流变随着他肉身体验和地域体认的转变而自然发生，在语境变换中激发出来的个体延展性以图像、彩影 的方式被创制出，让观者通过对画家不充分而颇复杂的审美现代性的体验，从另一个角度去感知某种层面上的中国。中国并不仅仅是地理和政治概念，更是一个复合 性的、变化中的概念，对中国的理解和确认是需要不间断地从各个方面去触及的。我觉得张懿的画，缺少绘画本体上的充分性和深刻性，但其运动感与在地性确比很 多技术精湛的画家更强烈，作为一种文本，或许他的画与鲜活、具体、切己的中国当下情境有更及物的关联性，因而能提供给观者一些画面以外的别样感受、为我们 感受当下提供某种参照。

A string of Chinese visual slices: Jungle of Zhong Zhou, lace mystery and Beijing phenomenology
——talk about the painting practice of Zhang Yi in the recent years

   As for Zhang Yi, we can see a stream of complicated and striking message only through his eyes, including humor, brightness, freedom, sharpness as well as the pain of endurance. To my point of view, this kind of sensibility is fundamentally connected with what he has experienced in the world, his creation not going towards the methodological and pedant direction of ivory tower, but towards some kind of sophisticated state. From his works in recent years, I seemingly observe a definite indication: No matter how he uses the superficial meaning and symbolic power of narration, image, and icons, what actually matters most is still his feelings. This is one kind of feeling based on the world value and flesh experience, not on the artistic ontology. Interestingly, although he emphasizes most the narration of image and self-discipline of format when drawing, the applying of these components are still in a relatively raw state. Instead, it is the uncontrollable perpetual quality that jumps wildly from the behind the format and image, never keeping silent lowly. From this visual state, we can seemingly find the disposition and spiritual bottom color of this drawer, that is the bottom color mixed with wildness, accompanying his life experiences in the land of China, forming a bunch of visual slices. The object of slicing here is not so clear, it is a state of “trying knives” with sentiment first, therefore, the fragments it slices out is not definite.

    Zhang Yi is a man born in Henan province, as the traditional saying goes, he is a Zhong Zhou man. I would like to use “Zhong Zhou man” to describe Zhang Yi. That is because there are always some qualities on him which differ from standard modern people, these qualities may really come from the territoriality and tradition of Zhong Zhou. As a “Zhong Zhou man”, his experience to the relationship among tradition, history and modernism must be full of paradox and complexity. This will determine his psychological state and value attitude to art. From his drawings, we can see the pain, contradiction from the common world.

    The theme of his drawings in 2014 is complicated, with the colorful characteristics of allegory and literature. It is like a pot of porridge no matter in drawing or expressiveness, not so clear and self-conscious.

    He drew more paintings in 2015, concentrating on the integrity of pictures. At the same time, he specially developed the more improved systematical skills of modeling, designing, color and stroke. The oil paintings are more specific, complete as well as more closed and dedicate in narration, so its literariness and magical meaning has been passed down. From the talk with Zhang Yi, I can confirm that he can understand the rules of modern art in his own heart. But the decorations of his paintings illustrate that his aesthetic system is not thoroughly modern, but closely connected with tradition, college and common customs.

    There is a great change after his coming to Beijing in 2016. As the politics, culture and art center of China, its plentiful and impulsive idea as well as information provides him the new opportunity to understand something deeply. Therefore, I call it “Beijing phenomenology” not so seriously. Although his paintings have already been improved to some degree, his lace-like decoration still exists, even has been strengthened. The complexity and variety of stroke, shape and layers of color still seems to be not so full, causing his new paintings lack of a deeper inner structure, easily tending to appear pattern-like paintings. This is what he should be warned of.

    Zhang Yi’s life experience and situation always interacts with each other closely. The changes of painting naturally happen with the alternation of his flesh experience and territory variety. The individual extension motivated in context changes is created in the style of image and color shade, making the audience sense China in another angle through the not full but complicated aesthetic modern experience to the drawers. China is not only a concept of geography and politics, but also a compounding and changeable concept. The understanding and confirmation of China needs the touch of different kinds of aspects continuously. I think Zhang Yi’s painting is lack of the sufficiency and profundity of illustrated books, but its sense of movement is actually more intense than many skillful drawers. As a text, maybe his painting is more closely connected with situation in China nowadays, therefore it can provide watchers with something beyond pictures.
