海外华人艺术家个展： 秋草润心——李芳枝的绘画游牧

李芳枝作为二十世纪华人艺术史上一位值得重新发现的个案，其艺术生涯与“五月画会”的现代启蒙、巴黎抽象浪潮的洗礼以及瑞士时期的自然回归紧密相连。展览以“绘画游牧”为线索，通过三个主题单元：“继承与远行”“停驻与对话”“归返的诗学”，展出艺术家不同时期的油画、水彩、素描及文献资料近百件，全面展现她在跨文化语境下的艺术探索与美学再融合。

在从中国台北到巴黎到瑞士的生命轨迹中，李芳枝实现了重要的艺术转向，从激进的抽象实验转向对自然的深度观照。她将台北时期融合了东方绘画修养的探索与巴黎时期所锤炼的抽象内化为个人语言，创造出一种融合抽象构成与具象表现的“心象”风景，在阿尔卑斯山麓与图恩湖畔的长期写生中，完成了独特的跨文化美学建构。

“秋草润心”这一充满诗意的主题，源自艺术家1980年代的一幅小画，恰切地概括了李芳枝艺术的深层价值：不追求视觉奇观，而以温和持久的力量，在物象与心象、传统与现代、东方与西方之间建立诗意联结。

本次展览是广东美术馆“海外华人艺术家系列”的重要项目，旨在通过李芳枝沉静而深邃的艺术世界，为观众呈现一种在文化迁徙中保持艺术本体性、在时代潮流中坚守个人真实的珍贵景象。

Li Fang stands as a compelling case for rediscovery in the 20th-century Chinese art history. Her artistic career is closely intertwined with the modernist enlightenment of the "Fifth Moon Group" the transformative influence of the Parisian abstraction, and the return to nature during her years in Switzerland. With "Painterly Nomad" as the clue, the exhibition consists of three thematic sections: "Inheritance and Wandering", "Stillness and Dialogue", and "The Poetics of Return". Nearly a hundred oil paintings, watercolors, sketches, and archival documents from different periods of Li's career are on display, providing a comprehensive overview of her artistic exploration and aesthetic integration within cross-cultural contexts.

Along the life journey from Taipei ,China to Paris and then to Switzerland, Li Fang underwent significant artistic transformations, shifting from radical abstract experiments to a deepened contemplation of nature. She integrated her Eastern painting training from the Taipei period with the abstract techniques honed in Paris, forming her personal style. Li created an "inner-image" landscape that harmonizes abstract composition with figurative expression. Through prolonged sketching at the foot of the Alps and by the shores of Lake Thun, she achieved a unique cross-cultural aesthetic synthesis.

The poetic theme "Autumn Grass Nourishes the Heart," derives from a small painting created by the artist in the 1980s, aptly encapsulating the profound value of Li's art: rather than pursuing visual spectacles, it establishes poetic connections between the material and the psychic, tradition and modernity, and East and West with a gentle yet enduring strength.

This exhibition is an important project in the "Overseas Chinese Artists Series" hosted by the Guangdong Museum of Art. This exhibition seeks to present to the audience, through Li Fang's serene and profound artistic world, a precious vision of how she maintained artistic ontology amid cultural migration and upheld personal authenticity amid currents of the times.
