严智龙近作简评 | 李旭：存在的维度

严智龙对于艺术表达维度的超越，还体现在他对各种物质媒介的探索与控制过程中。首先，他在绘画实践里尝试跨越中西藩篱，在油画和水墨作品中融汇了东方写意与西方表现，在国际化语境里体现出许多植根于本土化传统的动机与情绪，这是他对艺术史中既定地域风格的超越；其次，他在绘画创作的视觉效果中展示出了异常丰富的虚实关系，通过多层重迭的、半透明的绘画技巧尝试表达了画面内在空间的反复叠加，各种正负形象凭借气脉贯通的笔触和色彩自由生长，这是对二维平面局限性的超越；另外，在他最新的钛金镀彩系列雕塑作品中，粗粝稳固、朴厚凝重的团块结构和纤细灵动、轻盈飘逸的金属丝形成了力度和节奏方面的鲜明对照，三维立体世界里的色彩和线条开始具备了二维平面世界中的绘画性魅力，这又是对空间维度的超越。

Yan Zhilong's transcendence of the dimensions of artistic expression is also reflected in his exploration and control of various material media. Firstly, in his painting practice, he attempts to cross the barriers between China and the West,blending Eastern freehand brushwork with Western expressionin his oil and ink paintings.In the context of internationalization,he reflects many motivations and emotions rooted inlocalized traditions, which is his transcendence of established regional styles in art history.Secondly,he demonstrates an unusually rich relationship between the imaginary and the real in the visual effects of hispainting creations, trying to express the repeated superposition of the inner space of the picture through multi-layered overlapping and translucent painting techniques, and the free growth of all kinds of positive and negative images by virtue of the airy brush strokes and colors, which is a transcendence of the limitations of the two-dimensional plane. In addition, in his latest titanium color-plated series of sculptures, the rough,solid, thick and heavy mass structure and the thin, flexible and light metal wires form a stark contrast in terms of strength and rhythm, and the colors and lines in the three-dimensional world begin to possess the pictorial charm of the two-dimensional plane world,which is again a transcendence of spatial dimension.

在AI技术开始逐步渗透到视觉艺术创作的领域之后，手工绘画的意义和价值正在经历前所未有的挑战和质疑，目前的AI技术平台尽管能够惟妙惟肖地模仿各种既有的艺术风格，但艺术家极富个性的思想观念、观察视角和情感表达仍然是无法替代的，手工绘画原作所天然拥有的细腻而丰厚的质感与肌理也是打印设备望尘莫及的，在当下时空里，手工绘画的原真性审美趣味依然是高等碳基生命与硅基人工智能之间难以逾越的鸿沟。近二十年来，严智龙持续地探寻着艺术意义上的存在观念，继而进入有机抽象风格探索的新维度。这种介于超现实主义和抽象表现主义之间的个人风格，是他力图触及精神自由的持续努力，是他在视觉探索路途上的全新发现，是他在延续多年的三大系列之后对超自然意识的精彩表达，我衷心期待他对现有存在维度的再次超越。
