EVENT FEEDBACK

邱慧

相对于古典绘画,现当代绘画离我们的认知和审美距离似乎更远一些!我们更能从前者获得共鸣一创作者、作品的历史与故事以及构图、光影与色彩,会带给观者比较具象与直观的审美积淀!而现当代绘画传达的是创作者的观念,大部分作品的观念深藏于画布内外,它相对抽象难以捕捉!因此,观展导览尤为重要!从选品、布展到导览,康博士跨文化的学术背景、中国古典文学的语言功力、对现当代绘画的深刻认知以及对展品其人其画比较全面的了解,都传导给了观者;尤其给人印象深刻的是:康博士以谦和的、探寻式的解说,把导览的过程变成一场与观者的互动,这正应和了展览的标题《或者感性》,也应和了现当代绘画的特质:观念的传导并不是单向而是双向的,每一位观者从展品中获得的观感都可以是个性化的,或者是A或B或C或D。
