《友涵與余友涵----余友涵的早期經驗與晚期風格》展覽將于2025.03.25-2025.06.15在深圳市美術館舉辦。
深圳美術館作為深圳最早的藝術展覽機構,一直以來以“立足深圳、面向世界,立足時代、面向未來”為基本定位,多年來,見證和承載著深圳美術發(fā)展歷史,構建近現(xiàn)代中國美術文脈,積極踐行著中國美術傳播者、當代藝術觀察者、藝術脈絡梳理者、城市文化建構者的多重身份。舉辦余友涵先生的個展,正是深圳美術館在梳理藝術脈絡、推動當代藝術發(fā)展方面的重要之舉。展覽通過余友涵先生的早期實踐與其晚期創(chuàng)作之間的對話,展現(xiàn)出余友涵先生在其藝術創(chuàng)作過程中內在變化的思想肌理,向觀眾展現(xiàn)出藝術家的個人生涯與中國當代藝術自身發(fā)展及其背后的思想流變形成的互文關系。
The Shenzhen Art Museum is the oldest art institution in Shenzhen, with the motto of "rooted in the local, facing the global; anchored in the present, looking to the future", the museum has witnessed and borne the historical development of Shenzhen's art, constructed the context of modern Chinese art, and actively fulfilled multiple roles as a disseminator of Chinese art, an observer of contemporary art, a comber of the art context, and a constructor of urban culture. Holding Mr. Yu Youhan's solo exhibition is precisely an important move by the Shenzhen Art Museum in sorting out the art context and promoting the development of contemporary art. The exhibition seeks to reveal the conceptual underpinnings of his stylistic evolution by fostering a dialogue between his early practice and his later one. It also aims to establish an intertextual connection between the artist’s personal trajectory and the development of Chinese contemporary art in terms of their intellectual undercurrents.
上海藝術家余友涵先生1943年出生,直至2023年辭世,其藝術人生跨越了中國當代藝術發(fā)展中數(shù)個激蕩的歷史時期。他的創(chuàng)作發(fā)端于驟變中的社會生活,他通過藝術含蓄地轉譯了他對生活與文化的思考。到了晚年,他充分地反芻早期的創(chuàng)作經驗,在作品中展現(xiàn)出多變、靈動、自如、平和的面貌。余友涵曾概括形塑自己創(chuàng)作的因素,“一方面來自社會本身所帶來的情感上的刺激,一方面來自全球的當代藝術的潮流,同時也受到本地歷史和現(xiàn)實問題的影響。”此次展覽是余友涵先生離世后的首個大型回顧展,全面呈現(xiàn)余友涵先生跨越半個多世紀的創(chuàng)作生涯,涵蓋了100多件作品和豐富的文獻資料。在此次展覽中,兩位策展人基于自身藝術史和思想史的雙重視野,勾勒出余友涵立足于自身的藝術探索,與時代孜孜不倦地對話的卓越成果,也從他的個人實踐中提煉出若干與當代藝術史相關的關鍵性問題。
Yu Youhan was born in 1943 and deceased in 2023. His artistic life traversed across several tumultuous periods in the historical course of contemporary art in China. His art emerged from a period of the society characterized by dramatic shifts and he subtly translated his reflections on life and culture into his works. In his later years, he fully digested and reactivated his early creative experiences. As a result, his late works appeared to be constantly changing, flexible, fluid, and tranquil. Yu once summarized the factors that shaped his art as such,“On the one hand, they might be the emotional stimulations brought about by society itself; on the other hand, they might be trends in global contemporary art; and furthermore, they might be the influence of local historical and reality issues. I painted the collisions among the three.”This general description can encompass nearly every stage of his works, which vary considerably in forms and subject matters.
展覽試圖通過其早期經驗與晚期風格兩個相互輝映的部分來譜寫余友涵的創(chuàng)作人生。他的早期經驗包括1970年代的后印象派風格的風景寫生,和1980年代通過揣摩現(xiàn)代派形式的作品,結合“文化熱”的思潮而抵達“圓”系列的探索過程。他的晚期風格,即在2002年之后直至晚年的20余年間,不斷消化和游戲他在上一個階段中所積累下來的經驗,從而生發(fā)出輕松自然,超越某一風格和時間的“晚期風格”,釋放出早期的快樂和發(fā)現(xiàn)。“友涵與余友涵”意在展現(xiàn)出一位藝術家不斷成長和自我擴容的過程。其數(shù)十年的思考和專研使其作品具有難以超越的廣度和深度,為藝術世界留下了一筆豐厚的遺產。余友涵的實踐告訴我們:在藝術中,對自我創(chuàng)造進行探索可以一直進行到底。
This exhibition depicts Yu's creative life through two mutually reinforcing spectrums: his early experience and his later style. His early experiences include post-impressionist landscape paintings in the 70s, his exploration of modernist forms in the 1980s, which culminated with the “Circles” series, under the influence of Cultural Fever of the time. As to his later styles, which were formed from 2002 to his last days, he continued to re-project the experiences he had accumulated through previous stages, ultimately delivering a relaxed and natural “late style” that transcended time while releasing the joys and discoveries of his early years. As early as in 1983, Yu Youhan recognized in Picasso's art the quality of infinite variations both in various stages of his practice and in every single part of his painting, colors differing in edges and lines varying in ending points. He thus held himself up to such a standard. It’s this self-expectation that can unify all of Yu's later inventions. From “Youhan” to “Yu Youhan,”it is a journey that encapsulates an artist's continuous growth and self-expansion. Decades of contemplation and exploration in art empowers Yu’s works with unsurpassed breadth and depth, offering a rich legacy for the art world. Yu Youhan's practice proves such a point: in art, the search for artistic creation within oneself can go all the way to the end.
