前言 Preface:

十九世纪下,印象主义将绘画从传统桎梏的宏大叙事中释放出来,开启了对整个艺术界去中心化,对日常光景追寻描绘的历史性转折。艺术家冯志佳在创作中所体现的“余光”创作方式与之有着异曲同工之妙。冯志佳以绘画内容为媒介,创作语言为主要研究方向,通过去焦点化的表达手法,不断建立独有的艺术语言,将视线焦点以外的断层、重影及斑纹可视化。这种将聚焦以外被忽略的视野碎片呈现出来的创作手法,不仅给观者带来全新的视觉体验,还将通过去中心化的方式,探索了潜在于主流叙事以外的存在。 

冯志佳的创作语言是随着时间积累而变化的,这种变化并非流动地,而是具有层层递进的关系。其全新个展“序列诞生”以“序列”系列为主、“余光”系列为延伸,展现了艺术家对于创作语言的构建,突破了人们对于传统绘画主题的印象。冯志佳将内容主体从客观对象转变为绘画语言,再试图将这种具有开放性、可生成全新结构的绘画语言塑造成独一无二的语言符号。

系统论提出世界大集合的概念,既万事万物看似相互独立实际皆有关联。序列,则是事物间关联形成的规律。从生物基因排列组合到宇宙间的自然更迭,冯志佳对生活中微观及宏观的序列状态都保持着探索精神。这种基于艺术家对于序列敏锐观察下诞生的创作符号,将其凝练过后的审美与序列内在的美学呈现于观者,从而引发人们对于生活的全新思考。

展览“序列诞生” 共呈现了冯志佳的二十五件作品,其中大部分画作的内容来源于大众所熟知的经典之作。从艺术语言的角度来说,冯志佳赋予笔触力量,构建有迹可循的序列;从视觉内容的角度来说,冯志佳恰恰打破了人们的固有认知,让既定画面成为“无序”的状态。这种在有序的框架里迸发无序的跳脱感,正是艺术家赋予作品的生命力。

“序列诞生” 是冯志佳对于忽略之物的捕捉,是艺术家对于笔触的把控与语言的塑造,更是个体对庞大外部世界的思考与探索。

In the nineteenth century, Impressionism released painting from the traditional shackles of grand narratives, initiating a historic turn towards the de-centring of the entire art world and the pursuit of depicting daliylife. Artist Feng Zhijia's "split vision" creation method is similar to this one. Feng Zhijia uses the content of his paintings as his medium and the language of his creation as his main research direction, and continues to establish a unique artistic language through the means of de-focused expression, visualising the faults, shadows, and patches that lie beyond the focus of the eye. This creative method of presenting the neglected fragments of vision outside the focus not only brings a new visual experience to the viewer, but also explores the existence potentially outside the mainstream narrative through a decentred approach.

Feng Zhijia's creative language changes with the accumulation of time, and this change is not fluid, but has a progressive relationship. His new solo exhibition The Birth of Sequence, with the Sequence series as the main theme and the Split Vision series as an extension, shows the artist's construction of the creative language, which breaks through people's impression of traditional painting themes. The artist's construction of creative language breaks through people's impression of traditional painting themes. Feng Zhijia changes the subject of content from objective objects to painting language, and then tries to mould this painting language, which is open and can generate new structures, into a unique language symbol.

Systems theory proposes the concept of a large set of worlds, in which everything appears to be independent of each other but is actually related to each other. Sequence, on the other hand, is the law formed by the correlation between things. From biological genes to the natural alternation in the universe, Feng Zhijia keeps exploring the micro and macro sequences in life. The symbols created based on the artist's keen observation of sequences present to the viewer the condensed aesthetics and the inherent aesthetics of sequences, thus triggering people to think about life in a new way.

The exhibition The Birth of Sequence presents twenty-five of Feng Zhijia's works, most of which are inspired by well-known classic paintings. From the perspective of artistic language, Feng Zhijia empowers his brushstrokes to construct sequences that can be traced; from the perspective of visual content, Feng Zhijia precisely breaks people's inherent perceptions and makes the established images "disordered". This sense of jumping out of disorder within an orderly framework is precisely the vitality that the artist gives to his works.

The Birth of Sequence is Feng Zhijia's capture of the things that are neglected, the artist's control of brushstrokes, the shaping of language. More important, it’s the individual's thinking and exploration of the huge external world.
