《凹凸》当代版画群展

前 言

版画是视觉艺术的一个重要门类，按制作技法可分为凹版和凸版。当代版画是由艺术家构思创作并且通过制版和印制程序而产生的艺术作品。本次展览展出吴冠中、黄苗子、詹建俊、王怀庆、周向林创作并亲笔签名的当代版画艺术作品，也表现出不同版种的艺术呈现。

吴冠中是20世纪中国当代绘画的代表画家之一，其中丝网版画代表作《长城》他舍弃了中国传统绘画笔墨技法的诸多的“束缚”，进行线条的解放，将线条变成具象的点、线、面，使得画面流畅而不呆板，风格新颖，变为简单、流利、秀美的线性抒写。
 

黄苗子多幅作品用一种类似绘画而又非绘画的个性之美对古老中国的金文进行了艺术语言的诠释。版画作品《空山无人》“苗子体”书法用笔，字中透着画的视觉性引领观者进入“艺术、文化、生活”三者相结合的视觉空间。 

詹建俊是中国油画界中较早对油画的现代意味进行探索的。他对画面的处理是概括性的、象征性的元素比较多。限量丝网版画作品《回望》是詹建俊罕有的一幅以长城为题材的风景画,其构图壮美大气，高远浑厚.色彩浓烈，以势寄景，为大写意的万里长城留下了豁然抒情的壮笔。

王怀庆在当代艺术家行列里，是一个特别的人物，他的作品处于具象到抽象、东方到西方的联结点上，形成了介于传统与现代之间的独特的个人面貌。此次展出的作品中《妙龄》是王怀庆以上世纪90年代一批珍贵人体为创作母材的丝网版画。

周向林通过精湛的传统写实绘画呈现了一个更具情感同时又更加理性的历史观。石版画《红色机器之一,之二》运用超级写实的绘画手法，将我国50年代生产的东方红拖拉机以陈列的方式展现，让浓缩在物上的历史烙印提供时代符号转换的契机，使其价值和意义在陈列中显示出来。
