How would you describe your creation?

你会如何讲述自己的创作?

亦旸:

我的创作是有起伏、有叠加、有对抗的作品，可能像个“废墟”一样，利用不同属性的材料覆盖与消减，来构建画面最基本的秩序，构建一个自身与现实交错的情感空间，使之成为一个持续发展着的场所，其中的视觉元素则是必然性与偶然性共同存在的结果，这种错综复杂的效果也将隐喻到当下复杂的生活环境中去，也许会呈现出丰富的精神状态，从而通过表层的意象性追求隐藏于表象后的内涵。

My creations are works with ups and downs, superimpositions and confrontations, which may be like "ruins", utilizing materials with different attributes to cover and reduce, to construct the most basic order of the picture, and to construct an emotional space that intertwines with itself and the reality, so as to make it a place of continuous development, where visual elements are the result of co-existence of inevitability and contingency. The result of the co-existence of visual elements is the result of necessity and contingency, and this intricate effect will also be a metaphor for the complex living environment of the moment, perhaps presenting a rich state of mind, thus pursuing the connotation hidden behind the surface through the superficial imagery.

What factors have influenced your creation?

请谈谈你的艺术创作受哪些因素影响?

安塞姆·基弗的废墟艺术给了我不少影响和启发，“废墟”作为一个主题符号，在基弗的作品中显示出物化的特点，浓厚的肌理与笔触让他的表现手法丰富多彩，大大加强了物象的再现性，当画面中所有的结构内容都被肌理覆盖物化后，丰富的内在精神进一步被指向注入了“废墟”中，那么我的作品也是从“废墟”这个概念出发，试图寄望于个人独特的艺术观念，在这过于物质化的社会中探寻一处属于自我精神的栖息之地，并阐释我内心中的“废墟精神”。

Anselm Kiefer's ruin art has given me a lot of influences and inspirations. "Ruins" as a thematic symbol, in Kiefer's works shows the characteristics of materialization, the thick texture and brushstrokes make his expression colorful, and greatly enhance the reproducibility of the objects. When all the structural content in the painting is materialized by the texture, the richness of the inner spirit is further directed to be injected into the "ruins", then my artworks also start from the concept of "ruins", trying to count on the unique artistic concepts of myself to find a place for my own spirit to live in this overly materialized society, and to explain my own inner spirit. And to explain the "spirit of ruins" in my heart.

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?

亦旸：

我会始终保持对艺术的热情创作出自己的作品，因为当代艺术的重点无不在强调个体性的觉悟和审美解放，促使我们勇于打破一些旧格局建立新的精神“家园”，所以我想要在不断地摸索与创作中找到属于自己的精神世界。

I will always keep my passion for art and create my own works, because the keys of contemporary art are always emphasizing on individual awareness and aesthetic emancipation, encouraging us to break the former pattern and establish a new spiritual "home", so I want to discover my own spiritual world in the continuous exploration and creation.
