于向溟和张彪在他们的创作中杜撰了一种类似麒麟式的未知动物:蠪螜。它既像冷血的四足爬行动物,有尾,嘴上有须;又有双翼,可收可放,具有神话般的亮色。艺术家近期的油画和装置中,蠪螜形象替代了具像人物,如同作品中的主角,频频亮相在当下一个个现代性相全球化的现实图景中,构成了艺术家针对人类乃至宇宙命运的警世预言。显然,蠪螜不是龙和凤凰的替代品,它并没有腾云驾雾、呼风唤雨、凌空而舞的本领,跟中国传统文化和神话原型也没有多少 In the Ming and Zhang Biao in their creation coined a unicorn-like animal unknown: 蠪 螜. It is like a cold-blooded four-footed reptile with a tail and a whisker on its mouth; a pair of wings that can be folded and placed with a fabulous bright color. Among the artists’ recent paintings and installations, the image of the emperor instead of a figurative figure, as the protagonist in his work, appears frequently in the present realistic picture of globalization with modernity and constitutes the artist’s precarious prophecy concerning the fate of mankind and the universe . Obviously, 蠪 螜 is not a substitute for dragons and phoenixes. It does not have the ability to fly through the clouds, do anything they want to do anything about it, and does not have much to do with traditional Chinese culture and mythological prototypes
