关于展览 ABOUT
情怀,是杨心广这次展览中反复强调的一个重点。
这个情怀,是抽离本我之后的一种大情怀,是理想世界里的某种抽象情愫,他关乎世界观和宇宙观,而不是现实中的琐碎点滴。断肠,在中国古代的文人笔下,往往就是对于某种情绪或者情怀的渲染。是对情怀这个话题一种很诗意的直观描述。玻璃的晶莹剔透、脆弱冰冷,都让“断”这个词语有了更加清晰的呈现。而如此特殊的材质和“断”相结合,带来的生理上的疼痛感又增加了“大我情怀”这一富有诗意的意境,同时也能触及到我们心理上的某些痛楚。
艺术家每组作品都会营造一个小场景,如同人体在某一结构上模糊不清的关系。那些玻璃做的山石与树木草皮颠倒了在真实空间中的位置,都代表着一些情绪化感受。而有着烧灼痕迹的不锈钢栏杆,则应和了“凭栏处”的意境,和断肠一起更增强了作品诗意化的氛围。积蓄的情感也得以通过这些细节迸发出来。
在杨心广的创作中可以看到他对各种材料的运用。艺术家通过对于材料本身属性的探索来回归到自身富有诗意化的内部修为,将其贯穿一起,形成流畅的脉络。
开始于2014年的上海玻璃博物馆的当代艺术项目“退火”,正是一个希望与对材料有兴趣的艺术家合作,探索玻璃这种材质的无限可能,这和杨心广的创作方式和理念不谋而合。玻璃肠正是在这个背景下,艺术家将材料与情感、物与人再结合的全新一次创作。
Selfless concern is a recurring theme in the works of Yang Xinguang at this exhibition.
This concern goes beyond the trivialities in mundane life and deals with the outlook of the world and the universe. It is a set of selfless, idealistic values. Broken heart was often described in an artistic, straightforward way by ancient Chinese poets to highlight a certain emotions or concern. The transparent, delicate and cold glass is an explicit presentation of the “broken”. The combination of such material and damage reinforced the aesthetic value of the selfless concern by invoking a sense of pain in the viewers.Each set of works contains a setting to imitate the complex relationship between different parts of the human body. The upside-down rocks and trees made of glass portrayed some deep feelings. By echoing the scene of looking at afar by the rail found in Chinese poetry, the burnt steel rails emphasized the style presented by the broken glass. These techniques skillfully made the deeply buried emotions visible.
A variety of materials have been used in these works. The artist Yang Xinguang masterfully expressed his well-cultivated inner world through exploring the different nature of those materials.
Such approach and style of Yang Xinguang is supported by the contemporary art program “Annealing” launched at Shanghai Museum of Glass in 2014 which aims to explore the possibilities of glass in art by cooperating with artists interested in trying different types of materials. The Glass Broken Heart is a brand new piece of work created through the integration of material, feelings, physical objects and human beings.
