• 藝術家 姚志燕

    出生武漢，來到深圳

    之後的34年，我在兩個世界之間畫畫——一邊是城市的堅硬，一邊是個體的孤獨。很多人問我：你畫的是什麼？我說：我畫的是「毀滅之後還在生長」的東西。今年，一間澳大利亞藝術機構觀看我的影片後，專程飛行八千公里前來拜訪我。她立於畫作前的一番話，讓我深知數十年的堅持皆有所值。

    早年我便嘗試探索多元藝術媒介，與海內外藝術家、美術館及各類藝術機構展開合作。十餘年來，持續向中國內地、香港、澳門、美國機構捐贈繪畫作品。作品多次獲邀參加中國內地、香港、德國、澳大利亞各類展覽。2006年至今，陸續接受美國、加拿大、印尼、中國內地藝術機構與媒體專訪及深度專題報導；2010年入選《深圳人物志地圖》藝術家；2011年入選澳大利亞中國藝術家計劃參與藝術家。作品典藏於澳大利亞、德國、美國、法國、中國內地、香港、澳門等地私人藏家、美術館與藝術機構。

    ARTIST: YAO ZHIYAN

    Born in Wuhan, I moved to Shenzhen.

    For the past 34 years, I have painted between two worlds — the harsh rigidity of the city, and the inner solitude of the individual. Many people ask me what my paintings depict. My answer: I paint things that keep growing even after destruction.

    This year, an Australian art institution watched my video works and traveled 8,000 kilometers to visit me in person. Her words standing before my paintings made me realize that decades of persistence have all been worthwhile.

    From my early career, I have experimented with diverse artistic mediums and collaborated with artists, art museums and art organizations at home and abroad. For more than ten years, I have donated paintings to institutions across mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and the United States. My works have been selected for numerous exhibitions in mainland China, Hong Kong, Germany and Australia.

    Since 2006, I have been featured in interviews and in-depth special reports by art institutions and media from the United States, Canada, Indonesia and mainland China. I was included as an artist in Shenzhen Character Atlas in 2010, and selected to join the Chinese Artists Program in Australia in 2011.

    My artworks are collected by private collectors, art museums and art institutions in Australia, Germany, the United States, France, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.

    姚志燕的布面油畫創作，圍繞人與自我、人與人之間幽微的陌生關係展開。畫面想象力充盈著混雜、孤寂與曖昧的情緒，搭建出一個自我封閉又無限延展的精神世界，在光影變幻里定格生命轉瞬即逝的片段。

    藝術家偏愛空白基底、半透明色塊與鏡像反射的視覺語言，以此消解畫面自帶的壓抑與神秘感，如同俗世眾生在明暗之間的精神遊走。畫面中被誇張變形的人物形象，以失調的形體、懸浮的場景，完成對都市生存狀態的描摹。藝術家借畫面直面人性的脆弱與無力，最終完成一場向內的自我涉渡與精神接納。

    其繪畫是一場脫像、破像的創作過程，在形象的糾纏與變形當中，留住人生劇場里肉身與靈魂片刻游離的精神印記。凝固在畫布上的畫面，既是現實生活的留存，也是超越記憶與經驗的內心真實......

    文章摘自｜我是自己的陌生人｜北京共同藝術中心個展前言 策展人：馮 博 一

    Yao Zhiyan’s oil paintings on canvas revolve around the subtle alienation between individuals and their inner selves, as well as between people. Filled with tangled, lonely and ambiguous emotions, his imagery constructs a self-contained yet boundlessly stretching spiritual realm, freezing fleeting fragments of life amid shifting light and shadow.

    The artist favors blank backgrounds, translucent color blocks and mirrored reflections as visual vocabulary to dilute the inherent oppression and mystery of his works, much like mortal souls wandering mentally between light and dark. Distorted human figures with disproportionate bodies floating in undefined spaces depict the living conditions of urban dwellers. Through his paintings, he confronts humanity’s fragility and powerlessness, ultimately embarking on an inward journey of self-exploration and spiritual acceptance.

    His painting practice is a process of deconstructing and dissolving figurative forms. Amid twisted, distorted figures, he captures transient spiritual imprints where body and soul drift apart on the stage of life. The scenes fixed on canvas preserve fragments of real life, yet also reveal an inner truth that transcends memory and personal experience...
