自述
禪與革命ZEN & REVOLUTION，也是我90年代初在加拿大國家電視臺藝術(shù)中心舉辦的第一次個人畫展的題目。
禪來自梵文的Dhyana，英文譯為ZEN，應(yīng)該是英文里最能象征東方文化的符號。
禪的意思為靜慮，安靜而止息雜慮。
小時候我向鄰居一位嗜酒如命的老國畫家求學，除了學會靜心研墨外，也偷閱了許多老先生珍藏的古代字畫。那時就醉心于范寬、馬遠和倪云林。
在木板上起稿裱絹刷底用墨渲染再上油著色…… 20年前的《寺廟》系列可以說是在清靜寂定的心境下畫出來的。
革命是我記事之后最重要的一個詞，做一個革命的藝術(shù)家是我童年時代的夢想，這個紅色的夢想一直縈繞著我直到今天。我的電影作品《天安門上太陽升》、《他們選擇了中國》都和革命的主題有關(guān)。
禪的藝術(shù)是自省的、逃避現(xiàn)實的。革命的藝術(shù)則是激情的、參與現(xiàn)實的。
二者都在我的血液里。
‘Zen & Revolution’ was also the title of my first solo exhibition at the Canada National Television Art Center in the early 90s.
‘Zen’ originally comes from the Sanskrit ‘Dhyana’, and is probably the one English word that most symbolizes Eastern culture.
Zen means meditation: seeking peacefulness in order to slow down and freely contemplate.
When I was young I went to learn from a neighbour – an experienced ink painter who was fond of drinking. Aside from learning the patience and how to paint with ink, I would also sneak a look at the old man’s collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings. At that time I was fascinated by Fan Kuan, Ma Yuan and Ni Yunlin.
On the wooden board I would first mount a silk base on which I used ink for the design, then I applied oil colours on top…you could say that the ‘Temple’ series of paintings which I painted 20 years ago were created in this kind of quiet and solitary state of mind.
For as long as I can remember, ‘revolution’ has been the word most important to me. To become a revolutionary artist was my childhood dream, and this dream has continued to affect me to this day. My films ‘Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square’ and ‘They Chose China’ both have connections with revolution.
The art of Zen is introspective and attempts an escape from reality. But the art of revolution is passionate and participates in reality.
Both of them are in my blood.
