展覽提要 | Preview of The Exhibition
1997年張小危第一次離開了他的故鄉-東北沈陽,那一年,香港回歸祖國。
初識藝術家張小危,給人印象深刻,話語不多。但當和他聊起繪畫,他又是一個非常健談的人,聊創作聊生活,聊他的故鄉。和很多藝術家不同,張小危的生活非常的規律,每天準時進工作室繪畫,準時去接小孩,工作室遠離繁華和藝術聚集區,他更像一個都市隱士,獨立思考并獨立創作,工作室的角落里那臺老式錄音機里不時的隱約傳來熟悉的音樂聲。
張小危的繪畫常常會讓人聯想到意大利超前衛3C主義的作品風格,雖然都是從多元文化中取材,在破碎中追求完整,其實他們彼此之間并沒有關系。和3C主義不同的是,藝術家張小危更執著地專注繪畫媒介語言的探索,畫面呈現出一種特有的樸實與敘事性,又略帶著一些戲劇化的解構主義的荒誕感。暗啞的色調,隱喻著人物記憶蒙塵的模糊不定,這也是他少年時代重工業生活環境中的記憶挪用。在這個眼花繚亂的移動社交和文化快速迭代的當下,張小危在創作中也會使用社交網絡中的圖像素材,并讓這些不同時空和維度的圖像元素在畫面中交錯、并置,混搭,形成暗語式的“故事”,但閱讀和想象力依舊賦予了這位年輕藝術家在繪畫創作上更多的養分與動機,早期的布面油畫作品《雪堆 》描繪了藝術家童年時期在冬天雪地里的玩耍場景,畫面貌似懷舊卻又給人有一種莫名的疏離感。而新作 《 翠鳥 》清新的藍色調,構圖更加簡潔明確,呈現出一種新的氣象面貌。
交錯的場景、陌生的人、隱喻的故事與情緒,通過張小危的繪畫像一幕幕劇情展開在觀眾的面前,他們承載著青年藝術家張小危記憶中的故鄉、青春和往事,也許他只是試圖呈現作為那個時代的一個少年的心跡和念想。

Artist Zhang Xiaowei left his hometown of Shenyang in the northeast for the first time in 1997, which is the year that Hong Kong returned to China.
I got impressed by Zhang Xiaowei the first time I met him and he did not talk so much. But when talking about painting with him, he became a very talkative person. He’s talking about creation, life and his hometown. Unlike many artists, Zhang Xiaowei's life is very regular. He goes to his studio on time every day to draw pictures and pick up children on time. The studio is far away from the prosperous and art gathering areas. He is more like a hermit in the city, thinking independently and creating independently. The familiar music was heard from time to time, which is played by the old recorder in the corner of the studio.
Zhang Xiaowei's paintings often remind people of Italy's ultra-avant-garde 3-C style of works. Although they are all based on multi-cultural materials and pursue completeness in fragmentation. They have no relationship with each other. Unlike 3-C doctrine, artist Zhang Xiaowei is more dedicated to the exploration of painting media language. The picture shows a unique simplicity and narrative with some dramatic sense of absurdity of deconstruction. The dark tone is a metaphor for the vague and uncertain memory of the characters, which is also a memory misappropriation in his childhood’s heavy industry living environment. At this dazzling moment of rapid iteration of mobile society and culture, Zhang Xiaohui will also use the image materials of social network in his creation and make these image elements of different times and spaces and dimensions stagger, juxtapose, and mix together in the picture to form a " story" of argot style. However, reading and imagination still give the young artist more nutrients and motivation in his painting creation. The early oil painting on canvas " snow heap" depicts the play scene of the artist in winter and snow in his childhood. The picture looks nostalgic but gives people an inexplicable sense of alienation. The fresh blue tone of the new book " kingfisher" is more concise and clear in composition, presenting a new meteorological appearance.
Staggered scenes, strangers, metaphoric stories and emotions unfold in front of the audience through scenes and plots of Zhang Xiaowei's paintings. They carry the hometown, youth and old memories of the young artist Zhang Xiaowei. Perhaps he is only trying to presenthis mind and thoughts as a teenager of that era.
