严智龙近作简评 | 李旭：存在的维度

Yan Zhilong's artistic creation began with the study of early human to temic consciousness and mysticism.In the past twenty years,he has constantly changed his creative perspective between ancient and modern, Chinese and Western, pning three fields: oil painting, ink painting, and sculpture. The three series “The Bed Is the Stage”, “The Navana Birds" and “The Inexplicable World” were born one after another, which are filled with complex metaphors of people and things, nature and society, time and space. In terms of both formal language and ideology, he continues to push his visual exploration and expression to new dimensions. Drawing extensively from the historical legacies of Symbolism,Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, he has continued to remove the looming figurative symbols from his works, thus creating his own style of organic abstraction.

在宇宙的宏观与微观视觉维度中，各种生化物理存在的形象表面上尽管是千差万别的，但在如此纷乱庞杂貌似毫无秩序的形象之间，其实都存在着神秘的“拟态”、“分形”和“自相似性”等神秘现象，那是冥冥之中的混沌规律。也就是说，除了微观粒子与宏观天体间存在着结构、引力和衰变等方面相似性，微观世界里毛细血管的结构规律，也完全可以对应地球表面的树木、河流与三角洲，更呼应了爆炸后不断膨胀的遥远星云。与几何抽象的秩序化表达完全不同，严智龙的有机抽象风格，是原生生物形态与抽象艺术语言的融合，是对混沌规律的个人化视觉表达。他在作品中以各种曲线和不规则圆形为基本视觉形式，辅以节奏和韵律极其丰富的笔触，让色彩纷呈的画面爆发出持续繁衍滋长的、跨越具体物种造型的奇妙生命力，既抒发了他对形式实验的自由度，又饱含着他对“人类世”自然生态的无限关切。

In the macroscopic and microscopic visual dimensions of theuniverse, although the images of various biochemical and physical entities appear to be vastly different on the surface,there are actually mysterious phenomena such as "mimicry","fractals”,and “self-similarity”among such chaotic and seemingly disordered images, which are the mysterious laws of chaos. That is to say, in addition to the structural, gravitational and decay similarities between microscopic particles and macroscopic celestial bodies, the structural laws of capillaries in the microscopic world can also correspond to the trees, rivers,and deltas on the Earth's surface, and further echo the distant nebulae that continue to expand after explosions. Unlike the orderly expression of geometric abstraction, Yan Zhilong'sorganic abstract style is a fusion of primitive forms and abstractartistic language, and a personalized visual expression of laws of chaos.In his works, he uses various curves and irregularcircles as the basic visual forms, supplemented by extremelyrich rhythms and rhythmic strokes, allowing the colorful images to burst out with a wonderful vitality of continuousreproduction and growth, crossing specific species shapes. This not only expresses his freedom in experimenting with form, but also embodies his infinite concern for the natural ecology of the "Anthropocene".
