潘然,2007年畢業于廣州美術學院油畫系高級進修班,現游學英國。
潘然的繪畫充滿著莎樂美式的風格,給人留下耳目一新的感覺,而這種風格是依賴于個人豐富的想象力,通過平涂、裝飾性及單色的處理方法,表現出一種詩意、夢幻、超現實的視覺語言。顯然,潘然的繪畫并沒有熱衷于世俗繁華的市井生活,而是轉向對個人心理的分析,從中尋找個人化的繪畫風格。
那么,潘然的繪畫到底是什樣的風格呢?她離于主流繪畫之外,而那種民間的區域藝術卻成了主要靈感來源,再加上融入了個人的感受和體驗,表現了對記憶的暢和遐想。這也許是她追求一種隱含著宗教冥想與生命哲學的韻律的繪畫風格。顯然,她的繪畫既借用了西藏傳統唐卡繪畫的色彩,又吸收了超現實主義和裝飾主義的表現要素,也許對民族藝術的吸收無疑從一個側面給當代繪畫提供了新的可能性——具體通過對流行圖像、歷史圖像和個人意象糅合,表現出了一種簡潔、率真、夸張的繪畫風格,是一種潘然獨有的繪畫語言。
與其他藝術家相比較,潘然并沒有著迷于追求那種大的歷史意識和現實敘事,而是在尋找人與自然、人與動物、人與心境之間的契合點和平衡點。她用女性的敏感和細膩把繪畫的情感表達和對生命細微處的思考做了另一種發揮。像她的作品《遺失的句子》和《太陽花》、《禪》系列正表現了其個人的美學意念,是一種詩的語言,也似乎暗示了人與動物、花朵之間那種微妙的對話和交流,正如她自己所感言的那樣,“在人與自然的較量中,生命,是締結雙方的線,萬物有靈,讓我們珍愛每一個存在:土地,天空,植被與人”。而在作品《走過第二個春天》、《凝固的風》和《芬芳》中,潘然更是把個人的生活體驗做了自畫像式的表現,雖然在形式上再現的是人的一種悠自得狀態,但實際上卻折射出畫家個人的心境,即“封閉信息的注入,是為了儲存安靜”。畫家正是“在輾轉中享用休憩,在書本中獲取安寧,搬遷新畫室,精心準備了陽光與沙發,還有不變的音樂,淡去一些人事,卻也接近了想要的純粹”。她正是把這些感受和體驗轉化成了一種過濾過的形式語言。在其它作品《繽紛的季節 #8226; 假如》、《繽紛的季節 #8226; 沒有假如》和《一夜》中,畫家潘然更是把年輕人青春形象表現得入木三分——個性、倔強、冒險、好奇、叛逆、朝氣。
潘然的繪畫充滿詩情和冥想,她從“觸景生情”去表現美的事物,經過主觀處理的圖像,生動地揭示了人的日常與異味常的關系,具體則反映在她對那種人的傷感和孤獨以及存在和時間狀態的解析。因此,與其說她喜歡追求那種清晰而輕的事物,倒不如說她更迷戀于在繪畫中對朦朧、詩意、夢境進行的心理刻畫,進而使繪畫成了自我精神寄的港灣。正是在這樣一個不斷的逃離、進入和逃離的過程中,潘然通過自己的繪畫語言建立起了獨特的想象空間,并使情感、暗喻、聯想、象征等要素貫穿其中,從而營造出了一種默默自語的個性化繪畫風格。
Pan Ran’s painting language is very calm and gentle, seems to sing slowly the truth of the life truth in a low voice. From the very start of each piece, Pan Ran tries to capture the complexity of the female world in her delicate and graceful style, with her own emotions and the rich experience. She leaves the traces of color on the elaborate canvas, renot;ecting her emotional and rational process of using a pen, also demonstrates her capability of handing a painting content arrangement with the abstract means. Pan Ran keeps a close relationship between her viewing angle and the objects, which integrates her drawing status with the objects during her work, so as to understand the nature and philosophy of life. us inspired by these natural creatures, her thoughts can express the life and the concept of material in the most simple, natural way. If art works is a \"life\", then, those “living matter” which constitutes it in a certain order can be called the “carrier” of the life information. Pan Ran uses these \"carriers\" to lead the audience into a thought eld, thinking about the signi cance of life and the true meaning of death, providing the audience an interpretation and imagination space.
Many of Pan Ran’s paintings depict the static objects, but the image of many metaphors renot;ects the not;owing emotions. Painting is the solidi cation art of the time and space. Artist hides the movement in the quietness, implying the development and change process of things through the frozen moments, and the enormous touching power through the silence, so as to embody the dynamic and static beauty of the plastic arts. is seems to be a good result from her ability
of understanding the meditation beyond the modern media and fast-food culture, and the enlightenment of spiritual freedom, expanding narration and question the individual existence in a broader cultural context with the meditation poetry and narrative Buddhism inside.
