迷彩成幻天地奇跡 意識如流美韻翩翩
——記著名油畫家慈向群
???????油畫寫實眾所周知,著名油畫家慈向群卻獨立新功,借助中國畫的意境和意蘊之法,把油畫帶進寫意的境界,油彩似水墨,或流動氤氳,或凝厚枯奇,或交融湮會,把天地常態(tài),用迷彩之法,構(gòu)成奇跡,成為油畫意境化,意蘊化的卓絕之功。中西文化的交流與交融,貼情合意,天衣無縫,體現(xiàn)著他對不分地域國別優(yōu)秀文化的深諳之道。
???????油畫寫意,意蘊紛紛。并不是我們常見的越過印象成抽象的油畫。抽象油畫完全拋棄的印象的美感,以隨意無形為特色,以不入自然,遠離現(xiàn)實辨識標準為異質(zhì)。比如畫家隨意橫豎結(jié)構(gòu)線條即成抽象畫,連畫家也未必知道自己在畫什么,抽象主義油畫完全剝離了現(xiàn)實根本,并不是大眾藝術,成為較難理解的亞文化品種。
???????慈向群用油彩寫意,油彩的流動與湮染,并不脫離基本現(xiàn)實,是自然形態(tài)與思維意識流的巧妙結(jié)合,所以他的油畫中雖然迷彩成幻,意境多源,但是仍舊能看出相當突顯的“形存”,云山風霧、花鳥巖礁、路徑石階等等現(xiàn)實物象,都是可以觀到的,雖然在朦朧之中,卻是隔紗有真容。
???????所以說,他做油畫抽象構(gòu)圖,絕不是隨意,也絕不是失意,而是依照腦海中的意識流態(tài),去操縱迷彩的趨形走向,油彩寫意是骨構(gòu)本形,畫面是有型有骨的超現(xiàn)實主義的幻想反射。這就讓他的油畫,還是建立在正常而多元的想象力之上,是有意識有思想主導的畫面結(jié)構(gòu),雖施迷彩,卻迷而不亂,因迷而成真的崇高品質(zhì)。
???????慈向群有著非常敏銳獨到的油彩觸析能力,他不僅僅是用眼睛分辨色彩,還是在用心區(qū)分顏色,顏色在他的謀構(gòu)下,顯得非常有靈逸感,油彩不是呆滯的,具備了生命萌發(fā)活躍的品質(zhì),色彩無言卻能表意,畫面因色彩的活潑具備鮮明的對話交流感,觀賞這樣的油畫藝術作品,很容易讓人入境,入畫境,入心境。
???????中國畫以墨成境,墨因水而得韻,這里面有傳承千年的固定法則和思路,并不難成。可是慈向群為什么能把原本凝滯的油彩,潑繪得如云如煙,氣韻流暢,甚至韻超水墨?這是什么新法則和新思路,恐怕外人是很難猜透和復現(xiàn)的。
???????也就是說,油彩寫意對慈向群來說,是修成之功,可是對外人來說卻是秘籍難得。這種油彩生意境的功法,似乎不僅僅是技法之成,還需藝術家具備超凡的想象力,沒有天才資分,油彩韻流如云霞的畫面神境,是畫不出,寫不成的。
???????在慈向群的油畫里,被注極為精致近乎天才般的意識所得。迷彩成幻,天地奇跡,意識如流,美韻翩翩,天地萬物皆因藝術家奇異的意識而得美工奇韻,油畫畫到這般境界,奇難超越,大功告成,所以說慈向群功成卓著,擁有油畫技立峰頂?shù)拇蠹绎L采!
