如果认真阅读、留意细节,就会发现个人的艺术性、知性的传记比笼统的意识形态化的叙述更加令人信服。余友涵这样的艺术家经历了历史上最动荡的年代,创作实践横跨了半个世纪。这样说可能颇为老套,但他的创作生涯确实反映了政治和社会的变迁。我们必须要说:余友涵的绘画语言——尤其是“圆”系列和民俗风格的政治肖像——表述了近乎完美的社会形态,不但透露了创作实践的时间、地点等背景环境,而且揭示了近在眼前的未来,积累足够的叙述也许就能勾勒出未来的轮廓。 If you read it carefully and pay attention to the details, you will find that the individual’s artistic and intellectual biography is more convincing than the general ideological narrative. Artists such as You Youhan have experienced the most turbulent years in history and their creative practice spanned half a century. This may be quite stereotyped, but his creative career really reflects the political and social changes. We must say: Yu Youhan’s painting language - especially the “Round” series and the folk portrayal of folk style - expresses the almost perfect social form, revealing not only the background and circumstances of the creative practice, but also revealing For the immediate future, accumulating enough narratives may outline the future.
