欣逢张云垚个展“皮肤 手势 语言”将于本月29日开幕,东画廊特此采用一个全新视角回顾艺术家的毛毡绘画/素描作品。组成展览题目的三个词——皮肤、手势及语言——是相互关联的文本要素,形成一个图词辩证的观念体系,意图解码艺术家长期毛毡实验及其特殊的表意过程。
皮肤是艺术家首先设想的模仿对象,以此呈现该材料遭遇变故的知觉状态。而手势,作为一种教化的手段,附着在模仿的概念上,对生产性的身体进行干预。身体在物理空间上是个人所占据的位置,在隐喻空间上又为自我认同与社会关系的互涉提供地方;更关键的是,身体是建构情感本体的场所。艺术家捏造各种虚假的姿态,以此显示对其解剖构造的深入见地,身体在快感的规训下具有了政治性。毛毡的雕塑质感通过对肉身、躯干和肢体的召唤得以实现,终结了强加于身体的压制与漠视。
在被用作是次展览海报图的《形体习作》中,艺术家揉捏了文艺复兴后期法兰德斯雕塑家詹波隆那(1529—1608年)创作的《强掳萨宾妇女》(1574—1582年)与《赫剌克勒斯与半人马涅索斯》(1599年)。前者刻画了三个互相缠绕的身体——一个诱拐女人的男人与女人被打败的丈夫,充满恐惧地观看着一切。后者表现了皮肤紧绷的赫剌克勒斯正在痛打意图劫掠其妻子得伊阿尼拉的半人马涅索斯,被迫参与对抗的涅索斯的腿已经青筋暴起。这两组复杂的身体在毛毡绘画/素描中一同按照瘦长的比例向上延展,流露出多种情感。搏击中的疼痛感是个人遭遇完整自我并为其建立清晰边界的途径。

On the occasion of the advent of ZHANG Yunyao’s solo exhibition “Skin Gesture Body” on July 29, Don Gallery looks back to the artist’s felt drawing in a new retrospective. The three words that constitute the title of the exhibition – skin, gesture, and body – are the interrelated textual elements devised as a conceptual triad, a dialectic between words and images, to decode the specificity of the signifying process in his long term experiment on felt.
Skin is the mimetic object posited by the artist to stage the altered perceptual status of the material. Defined as a manner of cultivation, gesture thus adheres to the notion of imitation that intervenes the productive body. Whereas body is the location occupied by an individual in physical space, it provides a place for the interplay between self-identifications and social relationships; more importantly, body situates itself as a site for the construction of sentimental noumenon. By fabricating highly stylized poses, the artist is showing an advanced understanding of anatomy, among which the body is disciplined by pleasure and thus becomes politicized. The sculptural appearance of felt is concreted by the powerful evocation of the mortal flesh, which ends the ignorance and suppression on body.
In Study in Figures (the image used for the poster of the exhibition), the artist combines The Rape of the Sabine Women (1574-1582) and Hercules and the Centaur Nessus (1599) by the Flemish sculptor Giambologna (1529-1608) in late Renaissance. The former depicted three intertwined figures – one man abducting the women and the beaten husband looking on in horror. The later characterized Hercules under the taut skin beating the veined legs of the centaur Nessus, poised in battle, who attempted to force himself upon Deianeira, the wife of Heracles. The two complex groups of figures move upwards together in elongated proportions in the felt drawing, showing a range of emotions. The pain got in fights and combats is a pathway for an individual to encounter his/her complete self coined with clear boundaries.
