范又榕作为近年来四川美术学院涌现的优秀青年艺术家代表之一,在与芳草地画廊无间合作共同成长的环境下, 将于2015年10月迎来个人艺术生涯中的重要个展,芳草地画廊作为范又榕艺术道路发展的见证人,能够成为本次展览的主办方,我们深感荣幸。
范又榕的艺术创作在架上绘画方面,依据题材大致可分为《女孩》系列和《余光》系列。自2008年至今不断延续发展《女孩》系列,以都市女孩的形象作为创作素材,来表达当代年轻女性的社会精神症候与气质特征,试图揭示出潜藏在形象平静表情之下的复杂情绪。《余光》系列将风景(场景)和物品作为创作主体,艺术家选取了一些日常生活中被人们忽略的景物与影像,努力挖掘这些隐藏于社会景观冷漠感之下的物象的审美潜力。艺术家范又榕对绘画性的极端看重与竭力描绘使作品具备了十分细密微妙而又高度纯化的视觉品质。她继承了学院绘画传统中既关注历史、现实,又以个性人文为出发点的创作精神,重视对个体情感的表现和文化观念的表达,注重作品主题与当代现实生活和切身体验的有机结合。作品传递自我情绪的背后,那一份茁壮萌生起来的控制力,让我们期待。
In recent years Sichuan Fine Arts Institute has graduated a number of outstanding young artists- Fan Yourong is just one of them. Parkview Green Art has the honor to witness her growth as an artist.
In terms of theme, Fan’s works mainly consist of two series: “The Girls” and “Out of the Corner of the Eye”. “The Girls”, which has continued since 2008, featuring girls in the cities, gives expression to their inner world and personalities to reveal the complexities of their sentiments underneath their seemingly peaceful look. “Out of the Corner of the Eye” features mainly landscape and objects.Fan has been referring to the landscapes and the images that we usually neglect or put into oblivion in the hope of exploring the aesthetic potential of image lying under the cover of indifference to social landscape. Her piety to pictorial qualities and detailed treatment lend to the two series a visual dimension that is fine, subtle, and highly purified. Keeping alive the concern for history and reality based on individuality and humanity that is particular to the academic school, she stresses the expression of the individual sentiment and cultural concepts, as well as the connection between the subject matter and the real life experience. we have every reason to expect from her growing mastery while depicting the sentiment in the inner world.
