艺术家周蒙(Meng Zhou)于1992年出生,他的创作源于对自然的深刻谦卑,而这份创作的丰富性和独特性,往往来自他在偏远或极端环境中的旅居经历。同时,艺术家在完全隐退状态下的创作阶段,也是其高度专注和多样性的重要原因。周蒙是一位观察者与探索者,他寻找着各种文化及其场域,同时也寻找着那些让人感到宇宙最接近的地方。周蒙发现,生命或许会回归其矿物起源,而陨石则像是过去世界的档案,经由时间的打磨,如同隐藏的宇宙一般。

Driven by a deep humility towards nature, the work of the 1992 born artist derives much of its richness and uniqueness from sojourns in remote or extreme places. Another important factor for his high concentration and versatility are the artist's phases of complete retreat. Meng Zhou is an observer and a seeker of cultures and their settings, as well as of the places where our cosmos seems to come closest. He concludes that life may return to its mineral origins, with meteorites holding archives of past worlds, polished by time like a hidden cosmos.

周蒙通过多样的技法,将其想象中的理想图景转化为观众可以感知和观看的现实。周蒙以时间为画笔,在多层抛光的贝壳粉末上作画,或将自然过程留下的证据与自身的形式语言相结合,甚至使用废旧金属作为装置和物件的基础。正如《台北时报》2024年8月23日文章中所描述的那样,“周蒙在时间中穿梭”。他的作品常带有一种悲剧性的幽默,故事未竟而止,结局往往在废墟或毁灭中戛然而止,这正是对不确定性力量和结局不可避免的反映。在他的作品中,时间与历史成为需要观测、解读和猜测的主题,尽管信息有限,但观众仍被邀请参与这场捉迷藏的游戏,无需担心失败或失落。


A variety of techniques serve to make the ideal image of his imagination tangible and visible to the viewer. Meng uses time to draw, works on many layers of polished clam shell powder, complements found evidence of decades of natural processes with his own formal language or uses scrap metal as the basis for objects and installations. ‘Zhou navigates through time’ is the apt description in a recent article in the Taipei Times (23.8.2024 www.taipeitimes.com ). His work embodies a kind of tragic humor, where stories remain incomplete, ending in ruins or destruction. This reflects the power of uncertainty and the inevitability of an ending. Time and history become subjects to be observed, interpreted, and guessed at, despite limited information. The audience is invited into this game of hide and seek, with no need to worry about losing or failing.

在周蒙的新作中,火焰的元素得到了充分的探索与尝试。他喜爱木头烧焦的状态。这种木炭的效果既危险又充满可能性,同时象征着开始与结束。巨大的贝壳从炽烈的火焰中幸存下来,仿佛回响着敦煌壁画般的古老故事,那些被时间侵蚀的遗迹。烧灼过的图像依附于木质基底,高温的洗礼使其焕然一新,讲述着消亡与重生的故事。木材象征着具体的故事,却在热烈的火焰中被吞噬,而火焰则象征着新生,仿佛浴火重生的凤凰,从灰烬中再度升起。


In Meng's recent work, the element of flame is fully explored and experimented with. He loves the charred state of wood. This charcoal effect is both dangerous and full of possibilities, symbolizing both the beginning and the end. Huge shells survive the blazing flames as if echoing ancient stories like Dunhuang murals, those relics eroded by time. Burnt images cling to the wooden substrate, refreshed by the heat, telling stories of demise and rebirth. The wood symbolizes concrete stories, but is consumed in the warmth of the flames, while the flames symbolize new life, as if the phoenix, reborn from the ashes, rises again.

在本届西岸艺博会DREAM xiàn chăng单元中,周蒙在装置的展台斜坡上放大了一幅他的标志性绘画《为此而动》。这件作品似乎将上古时期描绘神祇的岩洞壁画放置在了一樽巨大的水晶球中,那些被时间冻结在半空中的流星上亦镶嵌着八十八个星座的图腾。透明与孤独、当石头化作火焰,成为光与尘埃,微妙地改变了世界、抹去细纹与年轮——形成了生命的基石。当它坠落时,宇宙的碎片注入大地,时间与空间在碰撞中交融,人与群星在这一刻共舞。


On the ramp of the public installation in the DREAM xiàn chăng section, Meng enlarged one of his iconic paintings, “Move for This”. The work seems to place ancient cave murals depicting deities in a giant crystal ball, with totems of the 88 constellations embedded in meteors frozen in mid-air. Transparency and solitude, as the stone turns to flame, becomes light and dust, subtly changing the world, erasing lines and years - forming the bedrock of life. As it falls, fragments of the universe infuse the earth, time and space mingle in collision, and man and the stars dance together in this moment.

纵观周蒙的作品,艺术家建立联系以及对隐藏在可见表象之下的信息进行更精确的理解,是创作的重要部分。他从不直接评判,而是通过作品向社会及其结构进行叩问。

Establishing connections as well as a more precise understanding of information lying beneath the visible surface is an important part of the work of Meng Zhou, who never passes judgement himself, but questions our society and its structures.
