艺术家自序

喜爱绘画至今已三十余年，谈不上有什么作为，至今未能画出像样的东西,只是抱着一颗常人心态真诚面对,默默地注视着身边的人和景物，也常常为身边的小事而感动。对绘画本体语言自认为较敏感，年复一年地不知疲劳地在画室里享受画画的快乐，时间久了，手艺人开始有了点艺术主张和判断力，处理画面时好像有了些手感和控制力，使我感受到绘画其实是件简单而快乐的事情,它没有“好”与“坏”之分, 只有“真”与“假”的差异。在岁月中那些换起我生命激情的东西成了我生命中的一部分。

绘画在我的生活中只是一件平常的事，它没有那么高，也承载不了那么多的思想和观念，平平淡淡，开心好玩、自由自在就够了......

“从他的油画作品来看，他对绘画形式语言和意象的表达有着浓厚的兴趣，通过对不同的材料和肌理的尝试，在反复的实验中细心品味，不经意中去玩味，并抓住最想表达的东西，使作品能够诠释出自己内心状态中的精、气、神。而他近期的素描作品则更加自觉地运用稚嫩的艺术语言去表现生命的真实，艺术家的感觉、想象、经验和理性都被结合在一起，在虚幻中凸显出意象表现的空灵和纯朴，体现出他良好的绘画感觉和较成熟的绘画语言。”

ARTIST STATEMENT

I have been painting for over thirty years, but I feel like having not accomplished any achievement yet. Till now, I could not find any piece of my work that satisfies me, however with a sincere heart and worldly perspective, I always enjoy observing the people and scenery surrounded me in silence, which often inspire me in life. Personally, I am quite sensitive with painting language. As time goes by, I become more and more fascinated by working on painting in my studio without ever feeling exhaustion, and the craftsman like me gradually establishes a kind of artist statement or judgement. I start to build up an ability of controlling in dealing with the canvas by hand-touch, making me realize painting itself a simply joyful and pleasant thing. As for me, my painting does not have a distinguishment between good and bad, or real and fake.Each painting of mine created by inspiration becomes an inevitable part of my life.

Painting is an ordinary thing in daily life; it is neither high beyond life, nor carries countless thoughts or philosphies, but simply common filled up with fun, and freedom…

By Huangyi, Nov.28, 2010.

“Huangyi’s recent painting works show a tremendous interest in conveying the imaginery scenery by his own painting language, with different media and by various structures. After numerous experimentations, he is able to grasp the best method of expressing what he would like to deliver exactly in his work. Furthermore, he finds how to interprete the spirit, energy and soul deep inside the heart.”

By Mr. Jia Difei, the professor of Central Academy of Fine Arts
