创作自叙

艺术家对自我的表达首先来源于对周遭社会与文化现实的反省与拷问。从这个角度去解读熊宇的作品,一方面,我们仍然可以看到由“近观”所呈现出来的现实。但是,和90年代初“新生代”绘画对“近距离”现实世界的直接呈现有着本质的不同,对于熊宇而言,“近观”并不体现为对现实世界进行直接的陈述,而是回到内心,用独特的个人体验来强化作品的心理叙事。另一方面,熊宇的画面又与现实相疏离,描绘的是一种异质化了的现实。也就是说,艺术家并不想落入传统的现实主义表现方法的窠臼之中,不愿意对现实世界进行简单的、表层化的图解,相反,他要透过现实的表象,言说一种内化于心的情感体验,即对自我的世界进行重构。

Artist Statement

Self-expression for artists is first rooted in introspection about and querying of societal and cultural realities. To try understanding Xiong Yu’s works from this aspect, we could still find such realities as though perceived from his close scrutiny. Different from his painting of the early 1990s, which aims at directly depicting reality, Xiong Yu’s new works turn towards the inside, using special self-experience to strengthen each work’s narration. On the other hand, Xiong Yu’s painting is estranged from reality, depicting an alien world. That is to say, the artist would not like to be chained by the expressive way of original realism, or choose a simple and superficial way to paint. On the other hand, he likes to express an emotional feeling from deep inside, which is the reconstruction of the self-world.
