鲍蓓女士简介：

《花墙与飞尘》鲍蓓纸上绘画作品个展

鲍蓓, 艺术家。祖籍徽州， 80年代就读于中央美术学院版画系, 毕业之后曾任职于中国文化部艺术局和中国艺术研究院《中国美术报》，87年移居美国纽约。纽约作为世界当代艺术的前沿阵地，从六、七十年代出现了各种新型流派：观念、波普、涂鸦等艺术，到了八十年代之后，由于美国经济的迅速发展，美国收藏界对艺术的投资促使艺术回到传统绘画上，此时美国的新表现主义、新抽象主义绘画应运而生。当年在中国学习艺术主要为意识形态服务，如今十五个春秋她直接感受经历西方最前沿的艺术动态，巨大的文化冲击让这位极具独立和叛逆精神的年轻女性陷入了深深的沉思：作为美籍华人艺术家的自我价值和认同感在哪里？她开始从绘画中寻找答案。

2002年她决定回国，从版画到油画、从油画到纸上十三年来鲍蓓坚持绘画，她对艺术和生命体悟深入浅出；一开始她游走在纽约和她的故乡之间，割不断的血脉驱使她从其祖籍开始寻找文化根基，历史上被称为徽州文化，研习古典文人山水绘画，结合她对西方抽象绘画的理解，求索和实验的过程她不断否定自我，彰显她精益求精之态度。艺术创作亦是修行的过程，探讨生命终极问题、深入禅宗哲学，理性与感性、东方与西方，皆融汇在绘画中。正如艺术史学家尚辉博士写道：“自然流淌而出的徽派笔墨、浙江的冷逸、石涛的洒脱、梅清的灵秀，都可以从她那似乎是抽象构成与意象色彩的创作中得到新的映现”。她早年的油画里可以看到西方绘画大师的影响如里希特的迷墙、基夫的笔触和罗思科的色块等。

近几年她的纸上作品实现了媒介转换和整合，中国画的意境、油画的层次感、版画的材料基础手段充分体现了她的人文情感与精神之升华。最新系列作品如《纽约的雨》，《任意之处》，就是典型的代表。

《花墙与飞尘》主题展览汇集了鲍蓓近年来纸上作品的实验成果。花墙与飞尘，就如记忆，即具像又抽象，如同“一时..."。按照艺术家的解读，“一时…”谓沒有先后、沒有远近，就是当下。当我们感应时空、聚集一堂，即为一时。

Blossom Wall & Flying Dust: Bao Pei PaperArtworks Solo Exhibition

Bao Pei, born in Anhui Province, studied in theWood-carving Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in theearly 1980s. After graduation, she briefly worked for the art bureau in theMinistry of Culture, and at the “Fine Arts in China” journal. In 1987,she moved to New York City. As the center of world contemporary artsince the 1960s and 1970s, New York witnessed various new forms of contemporaryart, such as Conceptual, Pop, and Graffiti, to name a few. With the robusteconomic growth of the 1980s, the demand of art investment by Americancollectors drove the art world back to the traditional fine arts; as a result,Neo-expressionist and Neo-abstract painting were born. During her years ofstudying art in China, her goal was to serve ideology; however, after 15 yearsin New York, witnessing in person the most Avant-garde Western art movements,this huge cultural shock put this extremely independent and rebellious youngwoman into a deep contemplation: As a Chinese American artist, where is her ownvalue and self-identity? She started to search for the answer from herpaintings.

In 2002, she decided to return to China. Fromwood-carving painting to oil painting, from oil to paper, for over 13 years shehas never stopped painting while contemplating life and art. First, sherambled between New York and her hometown in China; the blood connection urgedher to seek the roots of culture from her ancestral home in Huizhou. Meanwhile,she extensively researched classical landscape ink painting; in combinationwith her comprehensive understanding of Western abstract painting, she kept onexperimenting and refusing to be complacent, which reflected her attitude ofpursuing perfection. Art creation is also a process of self- cultivation; shetouches on the ultimate question of life, exploring the philosophy in ZenBuddhism, while combining the fusion of East and West, the rational andirrational into her painting. As the art historian Dr. Shang Hui wrote, a"naturally floated ink brush in Huizhou style, the coolness of Zhejiang,the leisurely freedom of Shi Tao, and the spiritual beauty of Meiqing -- youcould find these expressions in a new form from her seemingly abstractstructure and imaginative color." From her earlier oil paintings,one could find the influence of many Western masters, such as Gerhard Richter'swall, Anselm Kiefer's stroke, as well as Mark Rothko's bold color.

In recent years, her paper artwork achieved abreakthrough in transforming and integrating various media. With the spirit ofChinese ink painting, the distinguished layer of oil painting, as well as thefundamental material technique of wood-carving, her painting conveys heraffection for humanity, and an escalation in spirit; her new works, such as“New York Rain” and “Anywhere,” are the most representational pieces.

“Blossom Wall & Flying Dust” shows theachievements of Bao Pei’s recent experimental paper artworks. “Blossom Wall& Flying Dust” seems like memory; being realist or abstract is all aboutone moment. As per the interpretation by the artist, “one moment” means neitherbefore nor after, neither near nor far, but the present. When we experiencetime and space, getting together can be like “one moment”.
