汤南南以“乡愁”作为其艺术思考和文化研究的脉络,是基于中国社会人口结构在快速发展的城市化进程中的问题,最终他选择了“菜市场”作为其文化研究的基地,他发现“城市-乡村”那条无法回归的路,在菜市场内却被鲜活地完成了现代城市人普遍的“乡愁”的对接。为此,汤南南涉猎了图片、绘画、装置和影像、动画等载体,他的一系列作品均围绕乡愁而展开。汤南南最近又转入对内心的挖掘,以大海作为自己的精神故乡,创作了一系列似山如海的大型绘画作品。他的艺术作品有着深厚的人文情怀,是今日中国少有的用心用情用思想面对生活,面对艺术,面对社会的有作为的青年艺术家。 Tang Nannan regards “nostalgia ” as its context of artistic thinking and cultural studies, based on the problem of the rapid development of Chinese urban population in the process of urbanization. In the end, he chose “vegetable market ” as the base of his cultural studies , He found that the “urban-rural” road that could not be reintegrated was vividly completed in the vegetable market by the common “nostalgia” of modern city people. To this end, Tang Nannan dabbled in pictures, paintings, installations and video, animation and other carriers, his series of works are around nostalgia. Recently, Tangnannan turned to the excavation of her heart. Using the sea as her spiritual hometown, she created a series of large-scale painting works like mountains and sea. His works of arts have profound human feelings and are the few young artists in China who today face the realities of life, facing the arts and facing the society.
