《意料之外》傅文俊 综合媒介 2020


中国视觉艺术家傅文俊,以对数码摄影大胆、独特的运用为人所知。他的艺术创作反映并挑战着我们对现代社会的理解。艺术家出生于重庆,在四川美术学院接受油画训练,之后将创作重心转向摄影,并创立了他特有的数绘摄影风格,让他在传统的纪实摄影之外寻找到了一条表达更加复杂思想的道路。傅文俊将现代西方艺术与中国传统艺术的许多方面通过数码技术在摄影中加以结合,他开创的数字技术运用方式延伸了摄影艺术的边界。他的数绘摄影以具象或抽象的方式,变幻地展现了来自书法、油画、雕塑的元素,同时探讨传统和科技对人类生活的影响。2017年,中国美术馆推出他的个人作品展《和而不同:傅文俊数绘摄影展》,展览中的两件作品《裙带关系》和《他心通No.5》被中国美术馆永久收藏。傅文俊的作品受到从东京都美术馆到肯尼迪家族等世界顶级博物馆和收藏家的追捧,并获得了多个重要奖项,其中包括阿根廷国际当代艺术双年展金奖、埃菲尔铁塔大展“世界最佳艺术家”奖、佛罗伦萨国际当代艺术双年展“洛兰佐国际艺术大奖”。傅文俊用其涉猎广泛的艺术作品持续地探讨跨越代际、文化和地理的人类议题。目前,他主要关注的是创建中西方文化的互动空间,激发彼此之间的对话,讨论各不相同的社会如何应对现代生活所带来的改变。

Luca Curci: 您的个人经历是怎样的?哪些经历对您的作品产生了重大的影响?
傅文俊:美术学院的专业培养,对我的艺术生涯而言无疑是良好的基础,让我对中西方艺术有了全面、系统的认识。之后三十多年的艺术实践,不断充实着我对所生活时代的理解与思考,丰富着我的艺术创作语言,这样才有了我提出并创立的“数绘摄影”艺术流派。它建立在前沿科技的基础上,融汇了中西方的艺术理念,将摄影、绘画、雕塑、装置等艺术形式相互融合,呈现出别具一格的数字艺术风貌。

Luca Curci: 目前创作的题材是什么?
傅文俊:新冠疫情的发生对所有人来说意义非凡。去年和今年的作品,我感觉自己更加关注人这一题材了。个体如同大海中的一滴水滴,看似微小,但每一个人都是这个世界上独一无二的存在。


《沉思》傅文俊 综合媒介 2020


Luca Curci: 您的灵感来源于哪儿?
傅文俊:我是个擅于发现,乐于思考的人。生活的日常、旅行的见闻、书本上读到的、新闻里听到的,都可能激发我的艺术创作。

Luca Curci: 您的创作过程是怎样的?
傅文俊:现在我主要创作综合媒介的作品。每件作品可能会使用到不同的媒介,主要由我希望表达的内容决定,因此创作过程视作品而定,会存在一些差别。

Luca Curci: 您追求的艺术主题有哪些?您偏爱什么主题?
傅文俊:在作品中,我大多呈现的是对东西方历史、文化、人文方面诸多问题的思考与反思,包括全球化背景下不同文化间的相互关系、中国传统在快速变革社会中的遗存与传承、中国社会的工业化与城市化进程等等。

Luca Curci: 您如何看待我们的艺术理念,对于展览“混合身份”这一主题您怎么看?
傅文俊:ITSLIQUID GROUP是一个有活力的平台,让当代艺术、建筑、设计和时尚产生对话,相互促进。
在我看来,混合身份是一个值得探讨的话题。身份认同不是一层不变的,随着时间的发展、时代的变迁,我们对自己和周遭的认识也在不断变化着。就我个人而言,生长在中国,但在这个互联互通的时代,可以接触到许多其他地域的文化和艺术,不断激发出我的新思考和想法。近年来,我主要创作综合媒介作品,一个原因就是觉得单一的摄影、绘画、雕塑等艺术媒介,已经难以表达我的想法了。在“混合身份”的时代,我们的艺术也可以中西合璧,媒介互融,将艺术带入多重维度、多种体验之中。


Luca Curci: 请介绍一下您这次在伦敦“线”当代艺术空间(The Line Contemporary Art Space London)展出的作品?
傅文俊:《沉思》是这次在伦敦“线”当代艺术空间(The Line Contemporary Art Space London)《混合身份》展览上展出的作品。创作于2020年新冠疫情爆发之后的一段时间里。画面中心是一位低头闭目冥思的女性,背景上有些许马赛克、电子显示屏频闪的痕迹。人类已经进入了数码时代,疫情的爆发,让我们的生活愈发数字化,赋予许多人又一重身份:数字产品依赖者。不知不觉间,一切正悄然变化。

A Chinese visual artist celebrated for his provocative, unique use of digital photography, Fu Wenjun creates art that both reflects and challenges our understanding of the modern world. The Chongqing-born creator trained in oil painting at the Sichuan Fine Art Institute before turning his focus to photography, where he developed his iconic Digital Pictorial Photography style as a way to express more complex ideas than the traditional documentary style allowed. Combining aspects of modern Western and traditional Chinese art through digital experimentation on photographs, Fu Wenjun pioneered the use of digital technology to stretch the boundaries of photographic art. His Digital Pictorial Photographs conjure elements of calligraphy, oil painting, and sculpture ranging from figurative to abstract, simultaneously exploring tradition and technology’s effects on human life. In 2017, the National Art Museum of China presented a solo exhibition of Fu Wenjun’s work, titled “Harmony in Diversity: Fu Wenjun’s Digital Pictorial Photography Exhibition”, which included two Digital Pictorial pieces collected by the museum, “Nepotism” and “Thought Reading No.5”, among the exhibited works. Sought after by top museums and collectors around the world, from the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum to the Kennedy family, Fu Wenjun’s work has won numerous prestigious awards, including the first prize at the International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Argentina, ‘The Best Artist in the World’ at Tour Eiffel La Grande Exposition Universelle, and the International Award ‘Lorenzo il Magnifico’ of X Florence Biennale. Fu Wenjun continues to cross the boundaries of generation, culture, and geography through his expansive body of work. He’s currently focused on creating spaces where Western and Eastern cultures interact, evoking dialogues about how different societies engage with the changes modernity brings.

Luca Curci: What’s your background? What is the experience that has influenced your work the most?
Fu Wenjun: The professional training at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute was undoubtedly a good foundation for my artistic career. It gave me a comprehensive and systematic understanding of Chinese and Western art. After that, the over-30-years' artistic practice has constantly enriched my knowledge and thinking about the world we live, and my artistic creation language. Thus, I put forward the concept and practice of "Digital Pictorial Photography." It blends Chinese and Western art concepts based on cutting-edge technology and integrates various art forms such as photography, painting, sculpture, and installation, presenting a unique digital art.

Luca Curci: Which subject are you working on?
Fu Wenjun: During the pandemic that is significant to all of us, I focus more on the subject of people in the works created last and this year. The individual is like a drop of water in the big ocean. Even though it’s small, it presents a unique existence in the world.

Luca Curci: Where do you find your inspiration?
Fu Wenjun: I am a man keen on exploring and thinking. Many things inspire me to create: daily life, experiences in the travel, what I read in a book, what I hear from the news, and much more.

Luca Curci: What is your creative process like?
Fu Wenjun: Now I mainly create mixed media works. Each piece may use different materials and techniques, which is determined by what I want to express. As a result, the creative process may vary depending on the specific work.

Luca Curci: Which art themes do you pursue? What is your preferred subject, if there is any?
Fu Wenjun: In the works, I present my thinking and reflections on various issues about the history, culture and humanities of the East and West, such as the interrelationship between different cultures in the context of globalization, the legacy and inheritance of Chinese tradition in a rapidly changing society, the industrialization and urbanization of Chinese society and so on.

Luca Curci: Do you agree with our vision of art and what do you think about the theme of the festival?
Fu Wenjun: ITSLIQUID GROUP is a dynamic platform where contemporary art, architecture, design, and fashion can communicate and promote each other.
I think “mixing identities” is a worthwhile art theme. The identities are not stable. How we feel about ourselves and the surrounding community keeps changing over time. Taking myself as an example, I live in China, and in this interconnected age, I can get access to cultures and arts of different places. They inspire me to think and create. In recent years, mixed media has become my primary creation method. One reason is that I find it’s hard to express with one single medium like photography, painting, or sculpture. In an age of “mixing identities”, I can combine Chinese art and Western art, incorporate various media, and produce something fresh with multiple dimensions and experiences.

Luca Curci: Can you explain something about the artworks you have in our exhibition?
Fu Wenjun: Contemplation is the work I present at the exhibition Mixing Identities held in The Line Contemporary Art Space London. It was created after the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. A female figure in contemplation with eyes closed and head slightly lowering is centered in the picture. I give some textures of mosaic and glitches in the background. Humankind lives in a digital age, and the pandemic lockdowns make our life more digitalized. Many of us have a new identity: digital-product dependent. The world is changing so fast that it leaves us little time to contemplate.
