    Work Statement:

     

    在B超图像中,母亲的腹部成为当代生命艺术的引人注目的画布,圆柱形状在其中交织,勾勒出一场视觉的诗意对话。然而,或许正是这抽象的圆柱元素,让我对现代生命复杂性的审视。生命之手在非寻常的位置挪动,以一种让人担忧却又深刻的方式突显着生命的脆弱性。这一身体的表演,或许是当代生命艺术对生存、医学和人类经验的深刻而挑战性的批判。

     

    In the ultrasound image, the mother's abdomen becomes a compelling canvas for contemporary life art, in which cylindrical shapes are interwoven to outline a visual poetic dialog. Yet, perhaps it is this abstract cylindrical element that leads me to an examination of the complexity of modern life. The hand of life moves in unusual positions, highlighting the fragility of life in a worrying yet profound way. This performance of the body is perhaps a profound and challenging critique of survival, medicine and the human experience by contemporary life art.

    Absent Gallery 闲聊

     

     

    Absent Gallery:

    How would you describe your creation?

    你会如何讲述自己的创作?

     

    刘洋:

    自2021年迈向真正的创作,那时的生活陷入了反复与迷茫。在这混沌的时刻,我追求一种寄托,用以表达内心情感。由于害怕真实,我无法直接交流,于是常常选择扮演一种角色来展现真实的自我。因此,我迫切需要一种情绪链接,而柱体则与我的心境相契合。

    在我的创作中,我将自幼养成的本能,即习惯性地描绘柱体,融入作品。这种在无意识状态下勾勒的柱体,巧妙地传递了我的情感。

     

    Since 2021, I have been moving towards real creation, when my life has been in a state of repetition and confusion. In these chaotic moments, I seek a support to express my inner feelings. Unable to communicate directly for fear of being real, I often chose to play a role to show my true self. Therefore, I am in dire need of an emotional link, and the columns are in tune with my state of mind.

     

    In my creations, I incorporate the instinct that I have developed since childhood, i.e. the habitual depiction of columns, into my works. This kind of columns sketched in an unconscious state subtly convey my emotions.

     

     

     

     

    Absent Gallery:

    What factors have influenced your creation?

    请谈谈你的艺术创作受哪些因素影响?

     

     

     

    刘洋:

    尽管我的作品没有博斯和王兴伟的画面痕迹,但我深深喜爱他们的创造力、趣味性和讽刺,这成为我灵感的源泉。

    Although my work has no trace of the images of Bosch and Wang Xingwei, I deeply love their creativity, playfulness and irony, which has become a source of inspiration for me.

     

     

    Absent Gallery:

    What are your upcoming plans or expectations for the artwork?

    未来对作品有什么计划或期待?

     

    刘洋:

    在未来的创作中,我将更多地融入生活感受和观察。也许源于一首歌的歌词,或者是一个生命从细胞到人的奇妙过程。创作仍是随心而趣味十足。

    In my future creations, I will incorporate more of my feelings and observations of life. Maybe it stems from the lyrics of a song, or the marvelous process of a life from cell to person. Creation remains spontaneous and fun.

     

     

    Absent Gallery:

    Please use one word to describe "Prelude". or describe in one word how you feel about "Prelude".

    请用一个词汇描述“序幕”或者 用一个词汇描述对“序幕”的感受/想法。

     

    刘洋:

    "序幕"的描述词汇可以是"开篇",或者可能是"引人入胜"

    A descriptive word for " prelude" could be "opening", or perhaps "intriguing".
