艺术家熊宁辉将他从古典音乐汲取的激情,转换在画布上，用油画创作出一种视觉上的交响曲。他那些从音乐中得到灵感的油画作品，日前在北京第十届国际音乐节期间在保利剧院展出。尽管他的许多作品在这个个展中所呈现给观众的风格迥异，但都是和古典音乐的某些片段相联系的。在他的“花园与拉赫马尼诺夫作品32号前奏曲之第11首”的油画作品中，作者捕捉到在夏日雨后盛开的鲜花的惊人之美。而在另一幅题为“维瓦尔第作品584号F大调的翩翩起舞”中，他试图表达出一种如梦一般的印象派时尚风格。 　　在他的另一幅作品中，他揭示了莫扎特在小提琴与乐队曲作品第261号E大调的柔板的美优雅和轻快、如诗一般的抽象派写意风格。 　　这位43岁生在南京、长在上海、从小在小提琴和油画艺术两方面都得到训练的艺术家说：“古典音乐是我生活中不可分割的一部分”。 　　他说：“每当听一首自己喜爱的音乐篇章时，色彩，光线和某种形象会魔幻般在我的大脑中浮现，可能是小时候的场景，可能是生活旅行中的记忆，有些是那些难以形容只有上帝才知道的的形象。” 　　他第一次发现古典音乐有如此魅力以及将音乐调性形象化的潜力，可以追溯到八十年代在他上高中时父母从美国带给他的礼物 － 一盒维瓦尔第的音乐录音磁带。 　　“在播放维瓦尔第的四季时，我立刻被它所吸引，维瓦尔第的旋律不仅是这么动听，而且在我的脑海里呈现的是一幅色彩斑斓的画面。” 　　他一直希望自己能够对这种音乐形象的记忆在画布上重现。因此，他开始向他的舅公楼青兰先生（四十年代刘海粟上海美专毕业的老一辈的艺术家）、外公赵廷芳（沙孟海的学生、老一辈的书法、篆刻艺术家）学习画画和书法基础，并且在大学时继续向许多美院的教授学习油画技法。 　　在学习了艺术史后，他了解到色彩和音乐有联系的这一观点已被人认识到了，譬如俄国抽象表现主义画家康定斯基在他的作品中也有体现。 　　他说：“虽然，我的作品目前还没有像康定斯基那样得到广泛关注，但我相信，我那些发自内心的作品，也必将赢得观众的心。” 　　参考:熊宁辉官方艺术网：http://xiongninghui.artron.net 　　Sights and Sounds： 　　Music and Painting ?Xiong Ninghui Oil Painting Exhibition 　　By ZGU Linyong 　　From China Daily, Beijing Weekend – October 26-28,2007 　　Artist Xiong Ninghui translated his passion for classical music onto canvas, creating visual sounds through his oil paintings. His music-inspired artworks are on display at the Poly Theatre in downtown Beijing during10th Beijing Music Festival. The works on show at the solo exhibition are executed in diverse painting styles, yet all bear titles associated with classical music pieces. In the oil painting entitled Garden& Sergei Rachmaninov, Paiano Preludes, Op32, Nos 11, the artist captures in a realistic approach the breath-taking beauty of the blooming flowers in a garden after a summer rain. In another piece entitled Dancing, Vivaldi, Concerto in F Major, RV 584, he conveys the tender feelings evoked by music in a dreamy, Impressionist fashion. 　　Another work, revealing his impression of Mozart’s elegant and brisk Adagio in E Violin and Orchestra K261, renders the painting in a poetic, Abstractionist style. 　　“Classic music is an integral part of my life,” said Xiong, 43, a Nanjing native brought up in Shanghai and trained in both violin and oil painting. 　　“When I am listening to a favorite music work, colors, lights and forms would conjure up in my mind, some from my memories of childhood, from my extensive life and traveling experience, some others from God-knows-where.” 　　He first discovered his affinity with classical music and his ability to visualize music tunes back in the 1980s as a high school student, when his parents bought him a music tape from the US as a gift, containing works by Vivaldi. 　　“When I played the music tape, I was immediately attracted by Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto Four Seasons,” said Xiong, who “not only heard the wonderful melody but also saw in my mind a vivid, colorful picture.” 　　Xiong hoped he could record those impressions of the music in his paintings. So, he began learning the basic of painting from his granduncle - Lou Qinglan, who is an old artist graduated from Master Liu Haishu’s Shanghai Fine Arts College in 1940s, and Chinese Calligraphy from his grandfather – Zhao Tingfang, who is also an old artist of Chinese Calligraphy, an student from Master Sha Menghai. At university, he continued learning oil painting techniques from art professors. 　　After reading about art history, Xiong discovered that the association between music and color had already been recognized and made use of by such master painters as Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky. 　　“My works have yet to catch as much attention as those by Kandinsky. But I believe my works, which speak out the voice of my heart, can win the heart of the audience,” Xiong said. 　　Ref:: Web site for Xiong Ninghui:http://xiongninghui.artron.net
