在当下国画界有众多画家在意境上追求古人的审美,笔墨上沉湎于文人的趣味。应该说,许多画家画得很好,也都在笔墨的范围内探索着独属于自己的风格特色。我的困惑在于:他们纵使画得再好,在审美观念和方法论上却难以超越古人既已创建的风格样式。毕竟时代不同了,时代发生变化而导致意识形态的不同,恐怕不是我们世人能想象和预测到的。倘若仍然以过去的审美观念与自然关系来作为一种追求,是否会陷入了文化逻辑上的悖论呢?其实这就涉及到所谓的当代性问题,也就是我们常常提到的“笔墨当随时代”。我理解的艺术创作的当代性:艺术家的创作是依据自身的生活记忆,成长经验,与当下的文化情境相联系,并具有明确的现实文化针对性。 At present, many painters in the Chinese painting circle are pursuing the aesthetic of the ancients in the artistic conception, and their pen and ink are indulging in literary tastes. It should be said that many painters draw well and explore the unique style of their own in the context of writing. My confusion is that even though they draw no matter how well they are, they can hardly surpass the style and style that the ancients have created in their aesthetic concepts and methodologies. After all, the times are different. The changes of the times that lead to the differences in ideology are probably not what our world can imagine and predict. If we are still pursuing as a pursuit the relationship between the past aesthetic concepts and nature, will we fall into the paradox of cultural logic? In fact, this involves the so-called contemporary issue, which is what we often mention With the times ". I understand the contemporary nature of artistic creation: The creation of an artist is based on its own memory of life, its growing experience, its connection with the current cultural context, and its clear, realistic cultural orientation.
