展览预告｜肖红全新个展「飞去留痕」Fleeting Traces

前 言

绘画是肖红心灵梳理的方式、释放的通道、审视的镜子。当他持续追问、捉摸灵魂真相时，情不自禁走向了抽象。

他在二维画面上不断涂、抹、刻、划点线形色，用抽象的形态来审视灵魂状态/尘世实底，寻找精神归宿/救赎之途。这一幅幅刀锋铁线、荒寒虚无的画面，为观者提供了新颖的视觉和开放的想象空间。

视觉本体魅力方面，他继续延伸着自己的才华：冷暖色并置对冲、实和虚相互映衬、线与面结合共构，放肆发挥后紧密控制大局。其中的某些元素和方法，从他观摩敦煌壁画后延续至今，转化为视觉化的喟叹——喟叹心灵的如此这般状态。

Painting is the method for Xiao Hong to sort out his soul, the channel for release, and the mirror for examination. While he continued questioning and touching the soul’s truth, he involuntarily turned to abstract painting.

He continuously paints, smears, carves, and draws dots, lines, shapes, and colours on the two-dimensional canvas, uses abstract form to examine the state of the soul/the essence of the world, and seeks a spiritual home/path to redemption. These sharp-edged and desolate images provide viewers with novel visuals and an open imagination space.

In terms of visual charm, Xiao Hong continues to extend his talent: juxtaposing warm and cool colours, contrasting solid and void spaces, and combining lines and surfaces to create a tightly controlled whole after free play. Some of these elements and techniques, which he observed in the Dunhuang murals, have been transformed into visual sighs - sighs for the state of the soul.
