展览提要 | Preview of The Exhibition
1997年张小危第一次离开了他的故乡-东北沈阳,那一年,香港回归祖国。
初识艺术家张小危,给人印象深刻,话语不多。但当和他聊起绘画,他又是一个非常健谈的人,聊创作聊生活,聊他的故乡。和很多艺术家不同,张小危的生活非常的规律,每天准时进工作室绘画,准时去接小孩,工作室远离繁华和艺术聚集区,他更像一个都市隐士,独立思考并独立创作,工作室的角落里那台老式录音机里不时的隐约传来熟悉的音乐声。
张小危的绘画常常会让人联想到意大利超前卫3C主义的作品风格,虽然都是从多元文化中取材,在破碎中追求完整,其实他们彼此之间并没有关系。和3C主义不同的是,艺术家张小危更执着地专注绘画媒介语言的探索,画面呈现出一种特有的朴实与叙事性,又略带着一些戏剧化的解构主义的荒诞感。暗哑的色调,隐喻着人物记忆蒙尘的模糊不定,这也是他少年时代重工业生活环境中的记忆挪用。在这个眼花缭乱的移动社交和文化快速迭代的当下,张小危在创作中也会使用社交网络中的图像素材,并让这些不同时空和维度的图像元素在画面中交错、并置,混搭,形成暗语式的“故事”,但阅读和想象力依旧赋予了这位年轻艺术家在绘画创作上更多的养分与动机,早期的布面油画作品《雪堆 》描绘了艺术家童年时期在冬天雪地里的玩耍场景,画面貌似怀旧却又给人有一种莫名的疏离感。而新作 《 翠鸟 》清新的蓝色调,构图更加简洁明确,呈现出一种新的气象面貌。
交错的场景、陌生的人、隐喻的故事与情绪,通过张小危的绘画像一幕幕剧情展开在观众的面前,他们承载着青年艺术家张小危记忆中的故乡、青春和往事,也许他只是试图呈现作为那个时代的一个少年的心迹和念想。

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.
