On April 4th, 2065438+0/KLOC-0, the ink painting by famous American artist Zheng was held in Hall 5 of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

Birds in Tiananmen Square, which was created in 2007, is one of Zheng's important contemporary ink paintings. Zheng is an independent artist living in new york and Beijing, one of the most representative international artists in contemporary China, and the first artist to combine performance art with geographical environment. In the late 1980s, the new cultural groups who participated in Beijing Yuanmingyuan Artists Village were famous for criticizing and subverting the conservative visual art language and pursuing independent personal artistic style. As a contemporary artist, his creative methods are: behavior, photography, video, installation, ink painting, calligraphy, public art and so on. China's most powerful representative work of contemporary art, The Big Bang-Binding the Lost Soul, was created by him in 1993. The works combine landscape, behavior, installations and images, which promoted and influenced the development of contemporary art in China in 1990s, and have far-reaching historical significance. Zheng Yu 1989' s Ink Painting Series of Tiananmen Square is an important work in his early artistic creation career. Artists are constantly deconstructing this deified historical building, and at the same time, they are also intervening in reality with ink and wash. There is always a true history in the memory of youth that I can't forget. Political symbolization is a kind of confusion and sensitivity of artists in their creation. Confused by the unacceptability of memory and behavior, when normal logical thinking can't or can't explain events and behaviors, sensitivity gives artists the most direct, vivid and immediate creative motivation-symbolization! Through it, artists can instantly and instantaneously interpret events and behaviors in the context of artistic expression. Since then, it is not difficult to understand why Zheng has been repeating this theme-Tiananmen Square series for more than 20 years from the 1980s to the present. Birds in Tiananmen Square was written in 2007. The background dripping with gray acrylic and ink, the illusory deformation of Tiananmen Gate, rising bubbles, birds symbolizing life and soul ... The moment history happened, it was doomed to be irreparable. As a carrier, the symbol reveals everything in the artist's memory that summer! Maybe it's anger that has been lingering for more than 20 years. The Tiananmen Square series made him indifferent to painting for many years. The aestheticism of traditional ink painting seems to restrict the development of ink painting art, which is out of touch with the times and cannot be used as an artistic language to interpret the context of the times. Metaphysical aestheticism makes her lack of understanding of the present. The experimental ink painting, which rose in 1980s, is the reform and perfection of traditional ink painting.

Zheng tried to express the present and present creative forms with ink and wash in the middle and late 1980s, such as the Great Wall rubbings series "Commemorating the Unification of Germany and Germany" which started at 1989. At that time, his creation was full of expressions of the present and the moment, abstract spirit, jumping line colors and exaggerated background. Time is like a sharp note, and space is squeezed by ink sticks into heavier ink sticks. He broke the routine, ignored the ancient law, and tried his best to write a book to dispel his inner trembling and indignation at existence! His inner sensitivity makes him unable to ignore the reality-ideals and enthusiasm, the numbness of gray ideology and the loss of faith, like a polluted sky. Zheng, as the standard-bearer of the avant-garde thought of contemporary ink painting, is good at creating a personalized experimental style, and the delicate description of the soul has become a surprising possibility in his works. The pen and ink that moved forward in loneliness showed his shock to the soul again and again. "In today's landscape, you can't find the spring and autumn of Jin people!" "So, I want to give my ink painting a cry! It's not the groan of the bridge. " This conversation may represent his idealistic passion at that time. Why should Zheng use a pair of real eyes to examine his native language culture that he was born with and could not give up? Clumsiness and youth sometimes best represent our deep perception of things. It has the primitive sincerity of human nature-that of children and artists!
