Between Ink and Water—— Contemporary Ink
|
By Zhu Jianzhong (b.1954) 136cm * 68 cm ink on paper 2014
Between Ink & Water - two simple liquids, one clear, one dark, prosaic and perfunctory yet combined they form the most distinctive medium. Channelled together, Chinese ink painting was created a millennium ago and forged an unprecedented art heritage and aesthetic. Since the late 19th and early 20th century, Western cultural and artistic influences have dominated and ink painting on paper has faded from view. However, today, thanks to the efforts of a group of contemporary Chinese artists the age-old medium of ink painting has been re-imagined and reinvented and is once again being revered. It has shed the rigidity of history and now addresses modernism through a prism of current artistic language and traditional, ancient models. ‘Between Ink and Water’ exhibition presents 29 works ranging from delicate fine-brush bird-and-flower paintings in brilliant colours, freehand style landscapes paintings with stunning visions of nature and figures & life scenes in calligraphy and caricature, to mixed-style paintings with the expression of Zenism and the equilibrium of peaceful mind. These beautiful and inspiring pieces by the five established Chinese artists, Chang Jin (常进), Shen Qin (沈勤), Wu Xiangyun (吴湘云), Zhang Zhengmin (张正民) and Zhu Jianzhong (朱建忠), showcase the vitality and visual power of contemporary Chinese ink painting.

Panel Discussion: Rethinking Ink in Contemporary Chinese Art
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Ink Art exhibition to Sotheby's selling exhibition in New York and Christie’s in Hong Kong and mainland, the art of Chinese ink painting has made a comeback in the contemporary form. However, the unique style and medium are seen to be at odds with the values of contemporary art practices, either too old-fashioned or too Chinese to be relevant.
About Panelists
Panelists will include Katie Hill, a leading scholar on the subject of Contemporary Chinese art, Qu Leilei, a well-recognized Chinese artist in the west, and the two artists featured in the exhibition, Wu Xiangyun and Zhu Jianzhong.
- How can we understand the contemporary spirit through such a traditional form?
- Is contemporary ink today still dominantly owned by Chinese, or is it now an international medium?
- How can Chinese contemporary ink painting respond to the trend of globalization in contemporary art world?
- How has traditional Chinese ink painting contributed to the international contemporary art practices?
About Panelists

前 言
水墨画在中国艺术生态里占着非常特别的地位。若干年前，很多画家或是批评家，对水墨画的存在和前途抱有怀疑、犹豫的态度。但是，潮流的变化让人们始料未及，水墨画开始“热”起来。各种展览、研讨、拍卖等等，热火朝天地展开着。这股热潮背后，原因何在？原因当然比较复杂，政策、文化、市场，不一而足。
我的意思是，作为一种本土的传统艺术形式，水墨画如何能够在当代国际语境下独辟蹊径，达到艺术的高峰，不能指望各种外部的非艺术的因素。因为，虚假的繁荣会造成很大的迷惑，在众声喧哗的叫好声中忘记自身的位置。
但是我同样要说，由于各种合力的结果，今天的水墨画家具备了非常优越的创作条件，也具备了非常有利的社会氛围。他们的平台已经搭好——这个平台不仅是国内的，同时也是国际的。他们可以通过不断的学习、创作和交流，使自己更上一层楼，也使我们看到真正的希望和广阔的前景。

学术研讨会：在中国当代艺术中重识水墨
从美国大都会艺术博物馆的水墨展览到苏富比和佳士得的当代水墨专场拍卖，中国水墨仿佛以当代艺术的形式再度成为世界瞩目的焦点。但不可否认的是，水墨悠久的历史和独特的材质使其在当代艺术的语境下略显突兀。我们应该如何在当代艺术中理解当代水墨艺术？‘当代’二字如何与水墨的‘中国性’和‘传统性’相互依存？当代水墨如何回应当代艺术中的全球化趋势？‘东学西渐’中国当代水墨五人展学术研讨会特邀中国当代艺术办公室的创始人及苏富比艺术学院亚洲艺术课程的负责人Katie Hill博士、著名旅英中国当代艺术家曲磊磊、以及本次参展的两位杰出艺术家吴湘云和朱建忠与您共同‘在中国当代艺术中重识水墨’。

吴湘云是本次参展艺术家之一。她是江苏省美术家协会会员、江苏省花鸟画研究会会员。她结业于南京艺术学院，现受聘于南京书画院。其作品发表在《美术》《江苏画刊》《美术观察》《中国画研究》等多本刊物上，曾参加日本、美国及北京、南京等国内外展览，在南京、北京、台北、宜兴举办个人画展。吴湘云的当代水墨画对传统花鸟画的意象和空间进行了解构，重建了一个具有广泛象征性与隐语特点的女性心灵的形式。吴湘云摆脱了纯粹的花鸟图式，用她驾轻就熟舒缓而又温情的绘画语言，对画中的场景进行设置与营造。看吴湘云的水墨画，会产生一种虚幻缥缈的感觉，仿佛一脚踏进了梦境。她的作品给人一种智慧的幻想与纯真的荒诞，以及女性特有的神秘体验。

朱建忠(又名朱正德、朱大德) 是本次参展艺术家之一。他1982年毕业于南京艺术学院美术系中国画专业。中国美术家协会会员、一级美术师、江苏省南通市书法国画研究院画师。主要艺术成就：“中国的四季”美术展金奖、时代风采—全国写生展佳作奖、首届江苏省美术节金奖、第十一届全国美术作品展览获奖提名、2009•中国百家金陵画展金奖。朱建忠的绘画极力呈现的是东方气质、东方精神和东方智慧，他浑然天成的水墨画中融入中国的“禅”宗，把中国传统绘画和中国传统文化相结合。作为一种文化延续和传达的方式，他试图向后人提供一种思维的可能性：原来中国水墨画也可以这样画——可以画成这样的单个物象，这样的对称，这样的黑，以致这样的绝对。

参展艺术家介绍
常进
1951出生于上海。1982年毕业于江苏省国画院。国家一级美术师、中国美术家协会会员, 且曾任江苏省国画院山水画创作研究所所长。常进的水墨世界里幻化成清逸、静谧的景致,并构成了他艺术生命中最经典的格调。常进对于绘画的追求和理解, 它是踽踽独行的, 同时又是丰富内敛的, 犹如化石之于历史渗透性的见证。常进1984年,常进凭借作品《秋水无声》参加第六届全国美展并获得银奖。就是这一年, 常进开始在画坛脱颖而出。《秋水无声》也成了常进成功的起点。常进把他的当代水墨画探索置于延展传统的广阔空间中, 并找到了一条稳健发展的、只属于他自己的路。他的作品曾在中国美术馆、上海美术馆、江苏省美术馆、广州美术馆、纽约怀古堂、日本大阪现代中国艺术中心、澳大利亚新南威尔士美术馆、台湾山美术馆、台湾长江艺术中心、香港艺倡画廊、南京可一画廊等展出。

朱建忠
又名朱正德、朱大德,1954年生于江苏南通。1982年毕业于南京艺术学院美术系中国画专业。中国美术家协会会员、一级美术师、江苏省南通市书法国画研究院画师。主要艺术成就: “中国的四季”美术展金奖、时代风采—全国写生展佳作奖、 首届江苏省美术节金奖、 第十一届全国美术作品展览获奖提名、 2009•中国百家金陵画展金奖。朱建忠的绘画极力呈现的是东方气质、东方精神和东方智慧,他浑然天成的水墨画中融入中国的“禅”宗,把中国传统绘画和中国传统文化相结合。作为一种文化延续和传达的方式, 他试图向后人提供一种思维的可能性: 原来中国水墨画也可以这样画——可以画成这样的单个物象, 这样的对称, 这样的黑, 以致这样的绝对。
