美术的价值与意义：雷的椅子，心象世界的自由表述

文 / 田敬红

2017年，《客厅》系列，是雷在沉寂的岁月里，对生活深思熟虑。在她的创作思想阐释中所涉及到的“天机”论断，与古之“圣人立象以尽意”的道理相通。艺术家一旦开口说画，艺术表现便失去了无限可能，形象思维的想象空间也被逻辑思维所压缩，更何况人的意识境界、情感体验、以及技艺往往是言不能尽意。

雷的《客厅》系列正是在探索世界，从心理分析出发，她力图构建一个与心灵相通的奇幻之境。她将自己融入到表象之中，如同把想象揉碎后重组，再穿越时间和空间，最终创造出原始单纯、梦幻寂静的心象世界。

这组作品是对艺术语言、形式媒介的一次尝试和探讨。从雷的艺术发展逻辑看，作品面貌既意料之外，又情理之中。它不同于遥远神话，不同于西方表现性绘画中的图式效果，也有别于自然论指导下的意象油画。雷沿着《向日葵》、《危生素》系列创作得到经验和启示，将风格流派对创新带来的桎梏冲破，用属于自己的语言讲述自己的故事。

有人认为体现艺术创作自由两大选项是解构与建构，我认为那只是站在艺术造型角度上的说法。雷通过心象建立，在形体限制外直接进入心理层面，从而获得了心物统一可能性。这就是以椅子为基点，在图像外的心理空间生成联想类比形态。

雷所构建的心象浮现我们的头脑，是完形心理学应用，是中国传统哲学在艺术造型中的投射。这是一种由内到外审视，我们有时甚至觉得更近乎一种精神分析。如此一来，艺术家的工作便成了如何用形容语言达到情与理平衡，以及如何有效控制调整视觉心理落差了。

细心观众可能注意到了一个有趣现象，《客厅》系列绚丽多彩却无关浪漫，那些涂满个性气息符号高贵而冷艳，更像是洗尽铅华后的生命存在状态还原。不见人物形影，却能感受到审美主体“心”的存在，它来自记忆梦境冲突，或亲身体验。

在当代艺术领域，《客厅》系列作品独特，它们不源自《楚辞》的荒诞怪异，也没有幻想神话中的逍遥自由，而是在多元文化碰撞下，从现实提取具有隐喻符号特征图像元素。

空与实在中国古老哲学关系。一美学家宗白华认为空灵充实是精神双元，静观则得充实内在自由生命。空空如也椅子上获得灵感检验个人精神境界，就像镜子投射自身并照见全过程。此乃人生角色体验场又感性思维出发点。

“客厅”给范围划定想象，如浓缩舞台演绎生动可能性。而椅子的造型选择，则是趣味取舍生活态度体现，或对未来的憧憬。当身体离去，这个温暖留下经验记忆快乐忧伤。

面对我们总会涌起无法言说的矛盾，因为每把背后都是真实可能性纠缠独特展现在眼前。

In the artistic expression, the artist uses realistic techniques to enhance the recognition of painting language and symbolic techniques to organize emotional logic between images. This way, it is easier to wake up the self-awareness of viewers and give symbols in works their own feelings.

From an art appreciation perspective, this series aims to construct a unique mode of understanding for artistic experiences. This mode not only reflects the uniqueness but also one of the important values of these artworks. Combining with Lei's creation experiences, we find that she seems always wanted viewers involved in her creations, making them part of her works' composition.

Each piece in "Living Room" series is telling a philosophical story through imagery language while maintaining mysterious relationships between symbolic images. It is clear that intuitive interpretation cannot reach the artist's initial intention; rational thinking must be used for analysis and judgment.

Thus understanding these artworks requires more than just looking at them with our eyes; it demands involvement from our hearts and minds as well.

Different aesthetic subjects feel differently about what they see: some notice comedy while others spot tragedy; some see mythology or fairy tales depending on how they interpret each symbol.

The air exuding from paintings carries a sensitivity peculiar to women - sensitive perception and neurotic tendencies which evoke memories from personal life experience when observing flowers, fruits, animals or mushrooms - such as relating water creatures like jellyfish with birth-related associations or recalling moments so poignant they remain etched in memory forever.

If viewed from what these artworks mean to Lei herself,

Lei’s "Living Room" series has helped her establish an ethical system specific to her own artwork.

As Lei continues refining her life experience and adjusting value systems,

she needs reflection on new lifestyles trends aesthetics academic ideas moral standards etc., all under support by personal ethics,

to build an ethical system belonging solely to herself – impacting future artistic cognition creativity interpretation judgment alike.

Lei is a serious artist who often expresses encounters within life through painting.

These exhibitions are like windows revealing recent thought processes alongside concurrent learning achievements – almost self-satisfied serene delighting expectations set by those who view them deeply enough.

Of course,

a long river flowing still expects perseverance breakthroughs ahead.
