2017年上半年,當(dāng)代知名抽象畫家吳少清(Peter Wu)先后在多個(gè)城市展出了他的最新作品,近期又在廣東出展他的系列優(yōu)秀作品。
吳少清 ( Shaoqing Peter Wu ):當(dāng)代抽象畫家,1960出生于浙江溫州,祖籍樂清。世界華人美術(shù)家協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)員、中國(guó)美術(shù)家協(xié)會(huì)浙江省分會(huì)會(huì)員。深造于中國(guó)美術(shù)學(xué)院,曾榮獲北美亞洲藝術(shù)家協(xié)會(huì)杰出藝術(shù)家獎(jiǎng),現(xiàn)居住于上海和溫州。

從2015年開始,吳少清的作品呈現(xiàn)的是冷靜和厚重,不難看出這是一個(gè)藝術(shù)家蛻變的過程。他探索抽象藝術(shù)表達(dá)近三十年,三十年的漸悟似乎已突入頓悟境界,看似無象中包含萬(wàn)象。畫家的虔誠(chéng)信仰,融匯在了他的《三界》系列作品里。

《三界》系列作品所激發(fā)出來的審美意識(shí)既是具象的,又是抽象中蘊(yùn)含著意象。作品以神秘的線和精致的點(diǎn)為元素,它穿越了時(shí)間和空間的界限。他用空妙、奇幻又澎湃的繪畫語(yǔ)境,透過自己獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)符號(hào),將一個(gè)個(gè)靈動(dòng)浩渺、夢(mèng)一般的畫面呈現(xiàn)出來,力圖達(dá)到一種澄凈玄冥的心靈境界,構(gòu)筑了一個(gè)十分豐富的視覺感官和精神空間。

除了《三界》系列之外,吳少清歷年的作品,呈現(xiàn)了他不同時(shí)期的思想軌跡和人文關(guān)注。二十世紀(jì)90年代,吳少清開始走向西方現(xiàn)代思想的探索。他的藝術(shù)觸角從時(shí)間的深邃,轉(zhuǎn)向空間的浩淼,這一時(shí)期作品,日月、星空、光電、宇宙,成了他心弛神往的領(lǐng)域,他用心去表現(xiàn)和感悟自然的浩然之氣。在畫面上,力求強(qiáng)烈的色彩對(duì)比,在用筆上,力求恢弘跌宕,具有神采飛動(dòng)之感,而濃重的黑色代表了自然的原始力量。二十一世紀(jì)初,吳少清逐漸去繁就簡(jiǎn),畫風(fēng)變化很大,從這次參展的十多幅作品中,如《萌覺》四聯(lián)畫、《溢景》和《三界》系列作品來看,既有當(dāng)代寫意的趣味,又有著淡淡的禪韻……

他的作品里甚至很難讀到城市的印記,他完全是仙野派的,在《幻塵》里你能發(fā)現(xiàn)鄉(xiāng)野的味道,有著風(fēng)云突變的壯美。這是一個(gè)接地氣的藝術(shù)家,他留意的是自然界驚變?cè)谒麅?nèi)心的萌動(dòng),這種氣韻感從他早年的畫作里就已經(jīng)特別注重了,只是,他現(xiàn)在找到了靈巧的契機(jī)。《溢景》的另一大特色就是它的裝飾性,花瓶與流動(dòng)的氣體是互為滲透的,其色彩變化又極為豐富,你可以解讀成吳少清正從他以往的凝重中走出,變得更為明快而透明。

吳少清的創(chuàng)作以其獨(dú)特的風(fēng)格和思想,受到了評(píng)論界及社會(huì)的贊譽(yù)和關(guān)注。美國(guó)著名藝術(shù)評(píng)論家穆齊爾曾評(píng)論道:“作為杰出畫家,吳少清幾十年的繪畫實(shí)踐,孕育著虛幻的時(shí)空,敘述著獨(dú)到的感悟”。旅美藝術(shù)評(píng)論家、國(guó)際中國(guó)文化出版社社長(zhǎng)、美國(guó)亞洲文化學(xué)院董事會(huì)主席趙曉明先生曾經(jīng)有過精辟的評(píng)論:“吳少清的作品,真正的欣賞者不僅感受到表象豐富的空間,他的作品富有靈氣,變幻無窮,即悠遠(yuǎn)又強(qiáng)烈,洋溢著生命之力。為欣賞者提供了一種全新的、創(chuàng)造性的、自省內(nèi)斂的、禪宗式審美體驗(yàn)。”

吳少清說:“當(dāng)我們尋找繪畫的本質(zhì)時(shí)就是在尋找自己,畫面的空靈、禪意是我的藝術(shù)追求。” 在追求韻律上,吳少清有他的獨(dú)到之處,他始終保持著厚重與輕淡、乖張與收斂之間的平衡,如同自然的一種渾象,你很難判斷它的輕重與遠(yuǎn)近。近些年來,他多次參加了國(guó)內(nèi)和國(guó)際畫展,作品曾被美國(guó)亞洲文化學(xué)院及世界各地廣為收藏,其中兩幅當(dāng)代抽象油畫作品被美國(guó)“亞洲文化保存委員會(huì)”作為《為未來記錄今天》項(xiàng)目特別表彰并收藏于美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)圖書館亞洲館。

英文版簡(jiǎn)介
Freelance artist Shaoqing Peter Wu was born in 1960 in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China. He graduated from China Academy of Art. He is a member of Zhejiang Chinese Artists Association and a member of World Chinese Artists Association. He was awarded as a distinguished artist by Asian Artists Association of North America. He currently lives in Wenzhou and Shanghai.
His recent collections are titled Origin of Three Worlds, which express a fusion of desire, form and formlessness , a fusion of the Heaven, the Earth and human beings , a fusion of the Universe and human spirituality as well as a fusion of macroscopic and microscopic. His paintings exhibit the uncertain while interrelated connection of truth and illusion in this mystic Universe and his effort to unite the perspectives of real world and the Universe. He explores deeply into the reality and the unseen of human spiritual activities and insists that there must be reasons behind them. With his own artistic language, he manages to deliver Zen Buddhism thinking in his works. Although he is not meant to be a philosopher, he tries to bring people to imagine the relation between the Universe and us, making people focused, liberated and transcended.
His collections Origin of Three Worlds are both specific and abstract. He translates time and space by mysterious lines and exquisite dots, reflecting the flowing, mobile and crystal Universe which is gigantic and sublime. He describes the Universe in such a magic way that he enriches our visual appreciation and spiritual imagination.
His art style changes as he grows. From late 90”s to early 21 century, his works were passionate and avant-garde. But his latest collections are sober and serious. He said, “ The Origin of Three Worlds collections is a part of my painting series Home Return. I find it is more and more important to think in Chinese way while creating modern art. “ Through his more than thirty years of artistic experience, he has successfully built his own religious belief, Chinese classic aesthetic and modern art theories into his collections Origin of Three Worlds.
Chinese American art critic Mr. Xiaoming Zhao, Chairman of China International Press, Chairman of U.S. Asian Cultural Academy, said, “ We can see not only space but also time in his collections. It is this very abstractive time that makes his works unique and alive, offering us a new and creative experience like Zen Buddhists. “ American art critic Musil commented, “ A foremost painter in his field, Mr.Wu has decades of oil painting experience. His abstract paintings present temporal illusion and distinct insights.” Mr. Wu has received acclaim from both critics and the public for his unique style and ideas. In recent years, he participated in many art exhibitions both domestic and abroad and his paintings were collected by U.S. Asian Culture Academy and many other collectors in the world. Two pieces of his abstract paintings were honored by Asian Cultural Preservation Commission for the special project of Record Today for the Future and were collected by Asian Museum of the United States Congress Library.
