2017年，法国卢浮宫卡鲁塞尔厅的巴黎国际美术沙龙有一位来自中国艺术家的作品引起了人们不小的关注，熟练的架上表现手法，具有挑战性的话题和极具争议性的表现风格，都让来访者驻足凝视，思考，审慎，发问。他，就是姜文斌！

2021年6月26日，"幻境"姜文斌个展将在北极熊画廊（北京）开幕，此次展览将呈现艺术家姜文斌近两年创作的《幻城》主题系列代表作品二十余幅，是他以超现实绘画风格和独到的艺术语言表达个性姿态的高超境界，也是其在现实环境中某种阶段性的生命状态及对未来艺术创作赋予的某种愿景和追溯。期待您的莅临！

姜文斌

每当夜深人静的时候，一种不安如同瘟疫迎面而来，使你无处躲藏，无力招架！人生的意义何在？越想越让你陷入无尽的虚无之中，感到无力，孤独，边缘！我的作品都在试图建立一种有些荒诞，有些恐怖，有些绝望，但绝望中又有那么一丝希望，可就是因为希望的遥远和渺茫，反而更加感觉绝望而无奈！

我不贪生，甚至对死亡有些期待，期待着那个未知的领域！如同期待着黑洞的另一端，或是平行宇宙中另一个世界的你我！

-- 姜文斌

Whenever the night is quiet, a kind of anxiety comes oncoming like a plague, leaving you nowhere to hide and powerless to fight! What is the meaning of life? The more you think about it, the more you fall into the endless emptiness, feeling powerless, lonely, and on the edge! My works are all trying to establish a kind of absurdity, some horror, some despair, but there is a glimmer of hope in despair, but because of the remoteness and vagueness of hope, I feel more desperate and helpless!

I am not greedy for life, and even have some expectations for death, looking forward to the unknown realm! It's like looking forward to the other end of the black hole, or you and me in another world in a parallel universe!

--Jiang Wenbin

幻境：姜文斌的绘画与图像特征

文／李裕君

姜文斌的绘画在视觉上能给人一种梦幻和超越现实的观感。图像的多元并置与空间的错乱，采用了违背情理的表达方式，虽然在形式上脱离了常规逻辑的脉络，但不可否认，透过表面，我们看到了一些实在却又不实在的东西。在他的作品中，似乎大多是通过自我形象在宇宙时空中多维度的行为交错和空间叠嶂来呈现一种对个体经验的视觉转化，其创作的背后隐含着一些对于个体与社会、自我与环境、现实与未来的思考与探讨。艺术家试图透过画面表达了一种自我潜意识的梦境窥探其他平行宇宙，也可以颠覆物理定律，超越时空，如同在他的灵魂深处，似乎有一座属于自己的虚幻之城，富足而又孤独。这显然是一个被抑制的日常世界，通过这些作品隐喻着人和宇宙破裂却又相互联系的矛盾，充分体现了“反常合道”的艺术魅力。

超现实主义观点认为：人的本能、梦幻和潜意识领域往往是艺术创作的源泉。就潜意识领域而言，虽不合乎理性的社会，但却为人的本能所驱使，是人的某些本性的真实存在。艺术家取材于个体生活或社会共性的现实，从而进行着艺术的演绎。因此，艺术与艺术家的生命经验产生了必然的联系。正如佛洛依德以梦的解释开创了精神分析的新时代，于是超现实主义的画家们在其作品中不停的强调梦幻与现实的统一，仿佛如此，才是绝对的真实。超现实主义注重人类的先验性，致力于突破合乎逻辑与实体世界的现实观，尝试将现实观念与本能、潜意识及梦的经验糅合，以达到一种绝对或超然的真实情景。正是这种表现无理之理的努力，使超现实主义绘画具有了反常而又合道的境界。

姜文斌“不相信”现实，继而痴迷于梦境。在那里，似乎他可以看到另一个自我与现实不同的人生；或是在错乱叠嶂的宇宙时空，他可能正像鸟儿一样在天空自由的飞翔、俯瞰身下的埃菲尔铁塔和米兰大教堂；又或是以极速的失重状态跌入黑洞，有些害怕，又有些期待，不知道黑洞的另一端是天堂还是地狱？是通向过去还是未来？亦或是另一个宇宙的入口……!即使在平日的清醒状态，他也会想象当宇宙一直膨胀到极限后，是否会再坍缩回起点；宇宙和我们人类的轨迹会否会像诺兰的电影“信条"一样倒叙再来一遍？宇宙的七级文明到底是什么样？我们是否是生活在被高等生命编辑好的程序中，或是整个宇宙就是高等生命大脑中的意识？又是何等全能的造物主可以做到说:要有光，于是就有了光;那么造物主的造物主又是谁？越想越感觉人类的渺小和存在的虚无，深陷其中,无法自拔。这便是姜文斌的“不相信”和他所关注的一些没有现实意义，也没有答案的无厘头问题。

由于天马行空的思绪在浩瀚的宇宙中游弋，姜文斌近些年一直沉迷在《幻城》主题系列作品的探索与延展中，通过对各种图像反理性的组合来创造一种不和谐的、梦境般的感觉。在绘制作品时，其写实非常的手法，将画中的一切处理的荒诞不经，让画面看不见现实的踪影，只有神秘、荒诞和怪异。或许是叔本华和尼采的思想启发了艺术家对生活无意义的理解，以及这种“无意义”怎样能转化为艺术，逻辑的意义在艺术里被排除了。这种纯粹而真实的创作状态加上艺术家的自省，把艺术从“偶然”和“反常”中加以提升，达到了一种幻境式的奇妙效果。就像马格利特所言：“人的眼睛只是一面错误的镜子，因为它所得到的只是自然的幻影，而不是自然本身。”世界上没有眼睛看得见的“真实”，因此绘画的“真实”只是图解了人眼睛的幻觉而已。这真是一个让人颇觉怪诞的理论。在姜文斌的作品中，梦幻的感觉并不由于对空间的抽象和对现实的歪曲，而是由于不可思议的奇怪并置所产生的冲突。事实上，超现实主义者所追求的那种“痉挛性的美”就隐藏在那种精密真实的场景的表皮之下。

在姜文斌看来，绘画语言有它自己独立的体系，无论观念性多么强的绘画作品首先它得作为一幅“画”成立，之后再是如何把观念或叙事情节有机的转化成绘画语言。所以，他不断地通过超现实的绘画风格转译着他个人的世界观、宇宙观，以及对现实生命状态的探索与实践。在他的画面中，力图把生与死，梦境与现实统一起来，在画布上强调对象存在的真实性，准确的造型与特殊的色彩处理展现了写实主义传统的技巧和魅力。然而有趣的是，姜文斌在保留了人物的真实再现的同时，并没有对人物的表情进行倾向性的刻画，这些似乎生活在真实环境中的人物显示出一种虚空感，具有神秘、孤独、怪诞甚至是魔幻等特点。

因此，对“幻境”直接的理解，意指达到虚幻的某种境界。以此作为姜文斌个展的命题，既是因本次展览内容特意遴选了姜文斌近两年创作的《幻城》主题系列代表作品约二十余幅，同时又隐喻艺术家姜文斌在多年的绘画探索与实践中，以超现实绘画风格和独到的艺术语言表达个性姿态的高超境界，也是其在现实环境中某种阶段性的生命状态及对未来艺术创作赋予的某种愿景和追溯。

2021年6月20日于北京

In 2017, the Paris International Art Salon in the Carrussel Hall in France, there is a work from Chinese artists, which has attracted people's concern, skilled frames, challenging topics and propagandic The style of expression makes visitors to stare, think, cautious, and ask. He is Jiang Wenbin.The Arctic Bear Gallery (Beijing) will be announced that it will launch the "illusion" Jiang Wenbin on June 26, 2021. The exhibition will present the "Fantasy City" theme series of the artist Jiang Wenbin in the past two years. It is a high-level realm of expressing personalistic posture with a superficial painting style and unique artistic language, and is also a certain stage of life in a realistic environment and some kind of vision and traceability given to future art creation. Looking forward to your visit!

Jiang Wenbin's painting can give people a dream and beyond the realistic view. The magnitude of the image of the image is confused, and the expression of violations of the reason is used, although the conventional logic of the conventional logic is deprecated, it is undeniable, through the surface, we have seen some really nothing. In his work, it seems to have a visual conversion to individual experience through self-image in the universe in space in the space space. It is implied behind individual experience. It is implied behind individuals and society. Reflections and Discussion on Environment, Reality and Future. The artist tried to express a self-potential dream through the picture, and the other parallel universe can also subvert the physical law, surpass the time and space, like a deep place in his soul, seems to have a unique city, rich and lonely. This is obviously a Japanese world that is suppressed, through these works, the contradiction between people and the cosmic rupture but each other, fully reflect the artistic charm of "abnormalities".Surreal perspectives believe that people's instinct, dreams and subconscious areas are often the source of artistic creation. For the field of sinister, although it is not rational society, it is driven by people's instinct, which is a true existence of some natural existence of people. The artist is made of individual life or social commonality, thus performing artistic interpretation. Therefore, art and artist's life experience has an inevitable connection. As Freud made a new era of mental analysis with the explanation of dreams, so many realist painters have stressed the unity of dreams and reality in their works, as if it is, it is absolutely true. Surrealism pays attention to human priority, is committed to breaking through the conceptual imagination of logical and entity, trying to combine real concepts with instinct, subconscious and dreams to achieve an absolute or supernatural scene. It is this effort to express the unreasonable efforts to make surrealist paintings have an abnormal and related realm.Jiang Wenbin "Don't believe" reality, and then obsessed with dreams. There, it seems that he can see another self and reality; or in the messy universe space, he may be like a bird in the sky freely, overlooking the Eiffel Tower and Milan Cathedral under the body; Or fall into the black hole with a very fast weight loss, some afraid, and some expectations, I don't know if the other end of the black hole is paradise or hell? Is it going to the past or the future? Or the entrance of another universe ...! Even if he is awake in the weekday, he will also imagine whether the universe has expanded to the limit; whether the universe and the trajectory of our human beings will be like Nalan The movie "Letter" is the same as it again? What is the seven-level civilization of the universe? Whether we live in a good program of higher life, or the entire universe is awareness in the middle of the high life brain? Another all-around Creator can be said: There is light, so there is light; then who is the Creator's Creator? The more I want to feel the virtual and existence of human beings, and I am deeply unable to pull themselves. This is what Jiang Wenbin's "do not believe" and some of his concerns have no practical significance, and there is no answer to no answer.Since Tianma's junction is in the vast space of the universe, Jiang Wenbin has been addicted to the exploration and extension of the "Magic City" theme series of works, through the combination of various image reality, dreams a feeling of. When drawing the work, its realistic technique is very technically, the absurd of everything in the picture, let the picture do not see the traces of reality, only mysterious, absurd and weird. Perhaps the idea of uncle Hua and Nietzsche inspuntative understanding of the meaning of life, and how this "meaningless" can be transformed into art, the meaning of logic is excluded in the art. This purely realistic creative state plus the artist's self-province, enhanced art from "accident" and "abnormal" to achieve a fantasy wonderful effect. Just like Maglet: "The human eye is just a wrong mirror, because it is just the natural phantom, not natural itself." There is no eye in the world to see "true", so painting "Real" is just a illusion of people's eyes. This is really a grouped theory. In Jiang Wenbin's work, dreaming is not due to the abstract and realistic distortions of the space, but due to incredible strange places. In fact, the "spastic beauty" pursued by the surrealist is hidden under the epidermis of the precision and real scene.In Jiang Wenbin, the painting language has its own independent system, regardless of how strong the conceptual paintings first have to be established as a "painting", and then how to translate the concept or narrative plot to the painting language. Therefore, he continuously translated his personal worldview, universe, and exploration and practice on realistic life status through super realistic painting style. In his picture, try to unify the life and death, dreams with the reality, emphasize the authenticity of the object, accurate shape and special color processing on the canvas, showing the tricks and charm of realistism. Interesting, Jiang Wenbin did not tend to characterize the character's expression while retaining the characters, which seems to live in the real environment showing a void, mysterious, lonely, It is emoticated or even a magical.Therefore, the direct understanding of "illusion" means to meet illusions. As a proposition of Jiang Wenbin, it is only more than 20 years of the "Fantasy City" theme series of "the" Magic City "theme series of the" Fantasy City "in the past two years. At the same time, the artist Jiang Wenbin has explored in many years. In practice, the superb realm of personalistic posture is expressed in the super realistic painting style and unique artistic language, and it is also a certain stage of life in a realistic environment and some kind of vision and tracement given to future art creation.
