HE Wei: Dusk

——何伟

改写自尼采《悲剧的诞生》（20:3，P.149-150）

艺术家何伟在回声画廊的首次个展《薄暮》展出了其2023年以来创作的七件大尺幅新作，延续了何伟对于运用抽象形式呈现具象精神景观的探索。一系列流动的结构和渐次展开的层叠空间唤起观者的感知，它们召唤着图像和情感，却拒绝任何单一明确的识读。受到19世纪欧洲浪漫主义精神和美学的启发，又植根于中国自宋代以来将风景视为“心灵风景”的绘画观念，作品指向艺术家和我们共同的精神风景中，记忆、自然、色彩、图像和叙事情节凝结成的梦幻般的序列。

静态的直线和水波形的弧线不动声色地在画布上移动，它的运动是深藏的、隐含的，是在清晰的现实和抽象的幻觉的中间地带。色彩渗入色彩，纤薄而流畅，层层叠加的稀薄的半透明水性颜料与松节油相互作用，运用画笔、滚筒、刮刀、喷壶和玻璃板，艺术家对于材料的抽离使得造型、动势和空间等绘画要素逐渐成形于失控与秩序的张力之间。

液态材料的奇妙流动试探着融合与破坏之间的可变边界，从中，我们观察到物质运行的痕迹和超越世界可见形貌的动态力量。淡淡的、闪光的块面，画布暗部的纹理和沟壑间，漩涡般的气泡和泼洒的点状颜料时而浮现。随机产生的肌理在理性地筛选和重复中逐渐生成了绘画的语言。渐渐地，液体的分形映射为有序而稳固的几何结构，它们向外和向上伸展，又在转眼之间失去了焦点。

在最近几十年来，一部分当代艺术创作试图通过解构将意义生成的表象机制与艺术性的理想化光泽剥离开来，其中受到普遍关注的“过程”问题，以及创作过程中的不确定性、随机性和时间性等成为了何伟创作中的矛盾要素，它们成就了迷幻而动人的创作，同时在与之适应和对抗的过程中，持续激活着他的绘画语言。

The solo exhibition "Dusk" by He Wei at Reflexion Gallery, featuring for the first time seven new large-scale paintings created since 2023, which continue He Wei's exploration of abstraction as a way to present figurative mental landscapes. A series of fluid structures and continuous layered spaces evoke the viewer's perceptions. These spaces summon images and emotions and yet reject univocal readability. Inspired by the aesthetics of 19th-century European Romanticism, and rooted in the Chinese concept of painting since the Song Dynasty, in which landscape has been regarded as the "landscape of the mind", the artworks indicate the oneiric sequences of memories, nature, colours, images, and narrative scenarios condensed in the artist's and our common spiritual landscape.

Static straight lines and watery waveform arcs move motionlessly across the canvas. Its movement is deep and implied, a middle domain between lucid reality and hazy illusion. Colours bleed into colours, slim and smooth. Layers of thin, translucent water-based paint interact with turpentine oil. Using brushes, roller, squeegee, spray can, and glass panel, the artist abstracts the materials, allowing the elements of the painting, such as form, movement, and space, to increasingly take shape in the tension of uncontrollability and order.

The marvelous flow of liquid materials tests the variable boundaries between fusion and destruction, and in it, we observe traces of the workings in matter and the dynamic forces that transcend the visible form of the world. Pale, shimmering blocks, swirling bubbles, and splashes of stippled paint emerge between the textures and grooves in the darker parts of the canvas. The randomly generated texture gradually forms the language of painting through rational sifting and repetition. Successively, the fractals of the liquid map into ordered and solid geometrical structures that stretch outward and upward, and again lose focus in the twinkling of an eye.

Over the last decades, some contemporary art practices attempted to dissociate the representational mechanism of meaning generation from the idealised artistry through deconstruction. The issue of "process" with the uncertainty, randomness, and timeliness of the creative process, which have received widespread attention, have become contradictory elements in He Wei's creations. With his expression, the artist achieves enchanted and appealing creations while continuing to activate his pictorial language in adapting and confronting them.
