李尤松是一位十分特殊的艺术家, 这次“李尤松个展”所展出的是近年来李尤松创作的油画和粉笔画作品,与其他当代艺术家相比, 他的风格显得有些格格不入, 多年来他一直对文革时期的旧照片感兴趣,整体构图上具有一种精心安排的形式感,并带有一种巴洛克时期的艺术风格。但是,李尤松的艺术在当下的历史时期显得尤为特殊, 其主要在于他的作品所蕴含的精神内涵正是现代社会所逐渐缺失的一种精神。在中国的社会发展进程中, 当下的中国正在经历一个发展的高峰期,人们的物质、精神生活都在发生巨大的变革,然而像李尤松这代经历过文革时期的艺术家,面对社会快速的转变也是最为敏感的群体。李尤松所画的是过去文革时期的题材,但是我们可以从中感受到一种积极的、盘旋上升的、甚至是具有运动感的激情,这是一种对“社会主义乌托邦”的美好想象,是人们所追求的一种更加崇高的、精神性的、集体性的信仰,这与西方巴洛克时期的风格和精神理念也十分相似,所以李尤松的作品呈现出的社会主义情景是一种“巴洛克式的社会主义”,是一种带有激情的、动感的、积极的社会主义,也是中国社会主义十分纯粹而理想化的时期, 虽然这个时期整体具有一种空洞性, 但是却孕生出一种形式化的美感。对比当下社会,李尤松的作品同时也从侧面指出了一种现代社会所逐渐缺失的精神信仰。现代社会过剩的物质生活, 使人们精神世界不断的萎缩, 信仰的缺失也导致了人愈发的精神空虚与激情丧失,这些问题正是现代社会发展中所存在的隐患,如何解决这些隐患也是当代社会正在思考的问题。
这次的展览,将所有展出的作品并置在同一面墙上,形成一种强大的故事性,像是将中国那段历史时期的经历片段拼接在一起, 使作品中充满着的那种对社会主义乌托邦的热情积聚起来, 以此试图来传达一种洋溢在社会生活中的美好而积极的精神。
Li Yousong is a peculiar artist in China’s contemporary art scene. For years, Li has been deeply enthralled by the old photos taken in China’s Great Cultural Revolution, and he transfers his understanding into a strong sense of form which resembles that of the Baroque Art in his paintings. An artist born in the late 1960s, Li and his generation are experiencing drastic social and economic changes that have taken place in China during the past decades. The scenes of the Great Cultural Revolution in Li’s paintings are full of a vigorous, convoluting, and dynamic passion, a fantasy about a “Utopian Socialism”. That period, though hollow in its content, was a highly idealized one in China’s socialist history, creating its own aesthetics about form. There is an exalted collective idealism conveyed in Li’s paintings, and in this sense, they bears similarity to the Baroque art. Perhaps we can call the socialist scenes in Li’s paintings “Baroque socialism”—passionate, dynamic and active. Such passion for ideal has been fading away from contemporary society. The over-affluent life is eating up the spiritual part in people and wearing out their passion for sublimity. It’s a hidden trouble in China’s development of modernity, and a problem that our society has to address to.
