劉佑局幻象繪畫引發(fā)現(xiàn)代抽象風(fēng)潮

張國華

The illusionism paintings of Liu Youju become popular in recent years， giving rise to the phenomenon of modern abstract arts. His illusionism paintings have never been irrelevant to the Chinese ink painting； instead， his artistic works are even infused with the quintessence of ink painting. In recent years， Lius illusionism paintings have been successively displayed at well- known museums across the globe. And the new trend of abstract arts in the Chinese painting field stems from the phenomenon of Liu Youju.

說劉佑局幻象繪畫橫空出世，這個(gè)結(jié)論不合事實(shí)。20多年前，我就看他“抽象水墨”的創(chuàng)作，可喜的是，他的幻象繪畫至今未離開“水墨”，甚至可以說，他的幻象藝術(shù)注入了更多的水墨靈魂。

近年來，劉佑局幻象主義繪畫相繼在世界一些博物館展出。當(dāng)前在中國畫壇乃至民間出現(xiàn)了各種冠以“象”藝術(shù)的新抽象熱，這無疑大都發(fā)端于“劉佑局現(xiàn)象”。當(dāng)然，“劉佑局現(xiàn)象”并未形成樣板式的標(biāo)桿，我也不愿看到藝術(shù)的新威權(quán)主義，這對藝術(shù)發(fā)展的自由形態(tài)十分不利。潛移默化，是一個(gè)自然意識和心靈意識融合的至高境界，任何靠權(quán)力引導(dǎo)的藝術(shù)革命，都不可能取得成功！現(xiàn)代科技的發(fā)展也給現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作提供了媒材的多樣性，這對擴(kuò)寬創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)域、提高視覺效應(yīng)創(chuàng)造了廣闊的空間，但也必須警惕，許多人不在藝術(shù)本體的內(nèi)涵下功夫，而是借助各種“化學(xué)反應(yīng)”的豐富肌理去做外延。

目前，面對藝術(shù)的新抽象熱，既要發(fā)現(xiàn)和扶持藝術(shù)的創(chuàng)作人才，也要防止離開母體文化精神的全方位外化。

Born in Jiexi county of South Chinas Guangdong province in 1955， Liu Youju is known as the “founder of illusionism painting”.
