新闻稿 Press Release:

米兰·昆德拉,一代影响了世界青年的文学大师走了,带走了冷战的记忆,也带走了那代人的跌宕起伏,不少人感慨,为什么没亲眼看到柏林墙,更多人感慨没遇到过朱丽叶·比诺什,文学,电影里的各种剧情,藏在潜意识里,时不时让卷在现实的你我,想要彻底放下一切,去承受生命之重。

仔细阅读,《不能承受的生命之轻》(1984),尤其看原文,being,翻译成存在,比生命更准确,也更能展现中年已过米兰·昆德拉真正想法,相对于人生短暂节点,普通人大部分日子,还是按部就班,做着各自的功课和责任,恋爱,学习,工作,戏剧冲突,就如同疫情,一忽儿就成为历史,可那短暂的重压,让很多人,觉得世界崩塌,从而想用移民,新恋情,乃至换个新环境去替代,但是,真正要面对的平淡人生,或者看似没有重量的平常日子,也许才是寻觅真滋味之所在。

艺术家也是如此,面对每张空白画布,如果填满笔墨,怎么找到上一张没解决的问题,换句话说,这条线,这个色块的微妙处理,才是不能脱离,却实实在在的工作内容。杭春晖,侯勇,张仁杰,刘梓峰,刘国强,颜达夫,段一凡,每个人的艺术方式,阶段,方向,乃至思考内容都不尽相同,却都在解决当下的问题,从这个角度去看,创作中每天的重量,都无形中各自承受,累计算来并不轻松,可回到每一天,又不至于压垮,最终,他们作品呈现出来的,是一种坚定而平静的力量,摊开着每一个起落和痕迹。

戏剧性爆发的张力,是不少所谓艺术作品吸引眼球的原动力,可对那些选择,用日常努力,去回答自我和作品关系的艺术家,在疫情恢复的当下,更有现实意义。安静的创作者,平和中探索和精进,每件作品的微妙变化,思考和发现,创作带来的精神逾越,在生命之轻,感受到存在的本质。

Milan Kundera, a literary star who influenced the youth worldwide, has passed away, taking with him the memories of the Cold War era and the ups and downs of that generation. Many people lamented not having seen the Berlin Wall with their own eyes, while even more people regret not having encountered their own Juliette Binoche. The various plots of literature and movies are hidden in the subconscious, occasionally enveloping us in the reality, making us want to completely let go of everything and bear the weight of life.

Upon careful reading, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"( Milan Kundera, 1984) especially in its original text, "being", translated as existence, is more accurate and better reflects Milan kundera's true thoughts after his passage through middle age. Compared to the fleeting moments in life, most people spend their days following routines, doing their chores and responsibilities, experiencing love, studying, working, and encountering occasional minor conflicts. It's like the pandemic become history in the blink of an eye, but that brief but heavy pressure makes many people feel like the world is collapsing, leading them to seek escape through emigration, new relationships, or even a change of environment. However, truly facing the ordinary life that seems weightless maybe where the real essence of seeking true taste of life lies.

Artists are no exception. Faced with a blank canvas, how can they find unresolved questions by filling it with brushes and paint? ln other words, the subtle handling of each line or color block is what cannot be separated from the work itself. Hang Chunhui, Hou Yong, Zhang Renjie, Liu ZifengLiu Guogiang, Yan Dafu, and Duan Yifan - each individual's artistic style, stage, direction, and thoughts are different, but they are all addressing the current challenges. From this perspective.the weight carried in each day of creation is invisibly borne by each person, but the accumulation is not easy. Yet, when it comes to each new day, it is not overwhelming. In the end, their works exhibit a firm and calm strength, unfolding with every rise and fall and every trace.

The tension of dramatic eruption is the driving force that attracts attention to many so-called works of art. However, for those artists who choose to answer the relationship between themselves and their work through daily efforts, it holds even greater significance in the post-pandemic recoveryThe quiet creators, in their calm exploration and advancement, experience the subtle changes, reflections, and discoveries in each piece of their creation. Through the act of creation, they transcend the spiritual realm, feeling the essence of existence in the lightness of being.
