曲磊磊：純粹畫家 實感筆墨

很難用簡潔的文字介紹他，因為他是一位經歷豐富且才華橫溢的人。他是曲磊磊。

It is difficult to describe him with just a few brief sentences， for his is such a talented person with incredible experiences.]

著名小說《林海雪原》的作者曲波是曲磊磊的父親，如今的他，中國北京有88歲的老母，英國倫敦有心愛妻女。他曾當過知青、赤腳醫生、士兵、工人，后任中央電視臺美術設計。他年少時就癡迷繪畫，得到過如華君武、黃胄、蔣兆和等前輩的贊許和指導。半個世紀前他與李連杰、陳凱歌等都在北京什剎海少年體校就讀，并兩獲北京市青少年蛙泳冠軍。

曲磊磊曾是“星星畫會”創始人之一。1984年后，當年被稱做“星星”的20多位藝術家由于不同的原因四散在世界各地，曲磊磊也于1985年遠赴英倫。

2011年3月，中國美術館展出了曲磊磊的“筆墨光影（Brush Ink Light Shadow）”畫展。20多年來，他不同時期、不同主題的作品分別在倫敦、巴黎、威尼斯、東京、紐約、日內瓦、上海等地展出。他的作品被維多利亞和阿伯特博物館、阿什莫利安博物館、中國美術館、巴克萊銀行、瑞士銀行等多家博物館、機構收藏。

研究中國藝術超過半個世紀，最具權威的評論家蘇利文（Michael_Sullivan ）這樣評價曲磊磊：“他顯示了中國的筆墨藝術——在傳統上稱為線的藝術，能夠通過高超的技法所表現出的光和影的極其微妙的層次變化，創造出那個‘實感’， 是他本人崇尚的藝術的靈魂的實感”。

著名理論家、中國美術館副館長梁江在評論磊磊的作品時說，磊磊的作品就像他的中英混血的女兒，既不是交融，也不是結合，而是徹徹底底的中西融合，是一個嶄新的藝術形式！

The well-known author of “Tracks in the Snowy Forest”， Qu Bo is Qu Leilei’s father. Qu Leilei’s 88-year-old mother lives in Beijing； his beloved wife and daughter live in London. Qu Leilei had been an “educated youth” and barefoot doctor sent to the countryside， and a worker before joining CCTV as a graphic designer. He was passionate about painting when he was young， praised and coached by masters such as Hua Junwu， Huang Zhou and Jiang Zhaohe. Half a century ago， he was at the Beijing Shichahai Junior Sports School， along with Li Lianjie and Chen Kaige. He was twice the Beijing Junior Champion for Breaststroke.

Qu Leilei was one of the founders of “Star Painting Society”. The 20-plus “star” artists have all moved to other countries around 1984. Qu himself moved to England in 1985.

In March 2011， the National Art Museum of China exhibited Qu’s “Brush Ink Light Shadow” series. Over the last 20 years， Mr. Qu’s works of different periods and themes have been exhibited in London， Paris， Venice， Tokyo， New York， Geneva and Shanghai. The Victoria and Albert Museum， Ashmolean Museum， the National Art Museum of China， the Barclays Bank， UBS and other organizations all collect his works.

Michael Sullivan， the most authoritative critic， has been studying Chinese art for more than half a century. He made such a comment about Qu Leilei， “He has shown that the Chinese art of brush and ink， while traditionally seen as the art of lines， is actually quite capable of expressing the most subtle changes in light and shadow， and creating a kind of realism that is the soul of art， dear to the heart of Mr. Qu.”

Liang Jiang， the vice director of the National Museum of Art and famous theorist said that Leilei’s works were a bit like his mix-blood daughter. They are not convergence or combination， but seamless blend of the west and the east， a brand new form of art.
