本期学刊关注了一批相当吸引眼球的近期展事,其中大多展览都融合了新媒体的元素。其中既有景育民、岳敏君、曲健雄、赵半狄这样的名家的近期展览,有塞莱斯特·布谢-穆日诺这样的外国大师的个展,也有像赵赵这样新锐艺术家的最新展览。
本期的《热点人物》张国龙先生长期从事综合材料创作的研究。他所创作出的《生命》《黄土》《黑白》《方圆》《阴阳》《天地》等一系列气势恢宏的当代作品,色料材料的结合如交响乐的高低音碰撞,沉重悲怆而充满表现性;那放荡不羁的刀笔、微妙复杂的肌理以及疾速喷洒的线条是艺术家生命激情的展现。而在极具厚重感与视觉张力的画面里嵌入稳定、刚性的三角、矩形等几何形状,也是其创作的一种经典布局。
本期还集中了一批相当出色的新艺术、新媒体研究论文,黄丹麾先生的《身体与图像》、王娅蕾的《新媒体艺术:中国当代艺术的第三次转型》以及姚风采访宫林的《艺术与科技融合的起点》等文章,都从各自不同的角度上积极探讨了当代艺术的多样化可能,这些成果让我们对今后的艺术世界充满了更多的好奇和期待。

This issue focuses on a number of recent eye-catching exhibitions, most of which incorporate elements of new media. Among them are recent exhibitions of such famous artists as Jing Yumin, Yue Minjun, Qu Jianxiong, Zhao Bandi, the solo exhibition of the foreign artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, and the latest exhibition of the young prominent artist Zhao Zhao.
Hotspot Figures of this issue is about Mr. Zhang Guolong, who has long been engaged in the research of mixed media creation. His magnificent contemporary creations includeLife,Loess,Black and White,Square and Circle,Yin and Yang,Heaven and Earth,etc. The combination of pigment and material is likened to the clashing high and low notes played in a symphony, which are so heavy, sad and richly expressive; his free-hand strokes, delicate texture and swift lines speak of his passion as a fervent artist. Moreover, he inserts stable, rigid triangles, rectangles, and other geometrical shapes in pictures filled with a sense of firmness and visual tension, which betrays a typical composition in his creation.
There are a batch of excellent new art and new media research papers in this issue. Mr. Huang Danhui’s “Body and Image”, Wang Yalei’s “New Media Art: the Third Transition of Contemporary Chinese Art,” and Yao Feng’s “An Interview with Gong Lin: the Starting Point of Integrating Art and Science—Theory and Practice of New Media Art”discuss possibilities of contemporary art from different perspectives, which fill us with curiosity and expectation of the future world of art.
