《永恒的微笑Eternal Smile》180*180cm 2010年

《迷迭香Rosemary》130*130cm 1998年

程亚杰拉斯维加斯画派的艺术语言——面具 《迷迭香Rosemary》和《永恒的微笑Eternal Smile》欣赏

　　《迷迭香》和《永恒的微笑》堪称姊妹篇，画家曾自己解析这幅画写了：“难以忘怀”的雅称——梦析《迷迭香》

　　美丽神奇的名字《迷迭香》，让人费解，有令人向往，她不仅被爱美女性视为“青春永驻”的秘密武器，也被希腊和罗马人视为神圣再生的植物，并赋予它难以忘怀的雅称，华丽迷人的面具，她的出现使得威尼斯嘉年华增加了欢乐神秘的气氛……“迷迭香”的神奇在魔幻般的面具下得以完美呈现：人们在这奇妙的世界里，忘却了烦恼，忘却了富贵贫贱，正如来自拉丁语Rosmarinus寓意“海之朝露”那样令人神往，难以忘怀……

　　《永恒的微笑》是程亚杰理想主义和唯美主义画风的延续，有趣的是微笑的眼睛中一个是同年另一幅作品《恋曲2010》的主人公局部，另一个是次年完成的《香奈儿密码》的局部。由此窥知艺术家创作的思想脉络。

　　这两幅“脸谱的狰狞”乍一看都会让人心生恐惧，但细细品味，其中的美感浮现出来，让人喜欢起来。程亚杰就是用这种方式诠释人间百态，苦辣辛酸，以悲剧表现喜剧。

　　The painter once wrote an article titled "An 'Unforgettable' and Elegant Name --Dream Analyzing Rosemary" in 1998 to interpret Rosemary which can be called companion piece with the famous Eternal Smile.

　　The work Rosemary, with a beautiful and magical name, is confusing but alluring. Rosemary is not only considered as a magic bullet to "keep young forever" by females, but also regarded as a kind of divine regenerative plant by Greeks and Romans. With the unforgettable and elegant name as well as the gorgeous and charming appearance, Rosemary adds joy and mystery to Carnival of Venice. The magic of "Rosemary" is perfectly presented under the magic veil, enabling people to forget annoyance and whether they are rich or poor, noble or lowly in this wonderland. Just as its Latin "rosmarinus", Rosemary implicates "dew of the sea" which is attractive and impressive.

　　Eternal Smile is a continuation of Cheng Yajie's idealism and aestheticism. It's interesting that the bear in one eye turns out to be a part of Love Sonata 2010 while the bear in the other eye proves to be a part of The Code of Channel, from which we can see the artist's thinking venation of creation.

　　Both the "ferocious mask" and Rosemary are scary at the first sight. However, when we carefully appreciate it, we will find it beautiful. Cheng Yajie interpreters aspects of the human world and bitterness of life in this way, and displays the comedy with tragedy. Eternal Smile is fascinating.
