此次展覽藝術(shù)家劉昊天為我們展現(xiàn)了《假面》《秘境》和《暗香》三個系列的作品,作為他近幾年的梳理和總結(jié),反映了他對待藝術(shù)本體的態(tài)度和對待藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作所具備的能力。
藝術(shù)功能有兩個屬性,一是藝術(shù)要關(guān)心社會問題,關(guān)心社會問題的解決。信息時(shí)代隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)迅猛發(fā)展以及文明的推進(jìn)給人類帶來的影響絕不僅僅是正面的,其所帶來一系列問題,還有很多負(fù)面影響:比如貧富差距的加劇、資源不對稱的加劇等。劉昊天的《假面》、《秘境》系列,表達(dá)正是由一系列社會問題所引發(fā)的人性危機(jī),人類在精神層面的極度空虛下,表現(xiàn)出一種表面性的物質(zhì)和諧,在貌似合理的行為模式中隱藏著巨大的道德塌陷,猶如戴著假面茍活于世。劉昊天以他的直觀感受和經(jīng)歷,提出問題并試圖解決,給觀者以反思。
藝術(shù)功能的另一個屬性是藝術(shù)應(yīng)該給人帶來美的享受,一種能夠讓人感覺愉悅的心靈體驗(yàn)。這給畫家?guī)砹诵碌乃伎?作為一種大眾藝術(shù),不能僅僅孤芳自賞。劉昊天的《暗香》系列是對日常事物的純美表達(dá),老物件、水果這些每日補(bǔ)給我們身體能量食物和盛載他們的食器,除了被人類消耗,在你注視它們的時(shí)候,還有一種審美的體驗(yàn),這種體驗(yàn)被畫家轉(zhuǎn)譯成繪畫語言,在看昊天的《暗香》系列作品時(shí),頗有一種“致虛極,守靜篤。萬物并作,吾以觀復(fù)”的絕妙境地。

The exhibition artist Liu Haotian showed us three series works of<false face><secret environment>and<dark fragrance>. As a result of his recent years, he reflected his attitude to art and the ability to treat artistic creation.
The function of art has two attributes, one is that art should care about social problems and the solution of social problems. With the rapid development of science and technology and the promotion of civilization, the influence on human beings in the information age is not only positive, but also a series of problems, as well as many negative effects: such as the widening gap between rich and poor, the aggravation of resource asymmetry and so on. Liu Haotian's "false face", "Secret Land" series, the expression is precisely caused by a series of social problems caused by the crisis of human nature, human beings in the spiritual level of extreme emptiness, showing a kind of superficial material harmony, in the seemingly reasonable behavior pattern hidden a huge moral collapse, as if wearing The masquerade survived the world. Liu Haotian put forward problems and tried to solve them with his intuitionistic feelings and experiences, and gave the viewer reflection.
Another attribute of artistic function is that art should bring people the enjoyment of beauty, a kind of spiritual experience that can make people feel happy. This brings new thinking to painters: as a kind of popular art, we can not just appreciate themselves. Liu Haotian's "Dark fragrance" series is the pure and beautiful expression of daily things, old objects, fruit these daily supply of our body energy food and food to carry them, in addition to being consumed by human beings, when you look at them, there is also an aesthetic experience, this experience is translated into painting language by painters, when looking at Haotian's "Dark fragrance" series works, there is quite a kind of "virtual pole, keep quiet." All things are done at the same time, and we look at them as we see them. The wonderful situation of recovery.
