尘埃与野马
2025.09.27 - 11.02
凯旋画廊荣幸宣布，将于2025年9月27日至11月2日期间，推出艺术家吴维佳（b.1960）的个展「尘埃与野马」。展览由策展人王将担纲策划，将集中展出艺术家近年来的诸多重要新作。
“尘埃与野马”，典出《庄子·逍遥游》。原文中野马喻指春日野外林泽间蒸腾浮动的雾气，其状如奔马，生机流荡；而尘埃则是空气中飘荡沉降的微细尘土。二者并置，作为“生物之以息相吹”的象征——它们同为天地之“气”的不同形态，同因大气的吹拂而运动变化。尘埃似降，雾气似升，一沉一浮，同源而异相，形象地喻示出万物在永恒流转中相互转化、生生不息的宇宙观。
在中国当代绘画谱系中，吴维佳的创作是一个极具精神深度的个案。他延续并开拓着西方现代与后现代的绘画语言，并在东方哲学中找到了着落点。这种双向汲取的方式，使他能够超越东西方的审美分界与思维定式。藉由直觉性的绘画方式，其创作深入生命本质的流动与变化，构建出一个介于具象与抽象、生成与消逝之间的视觉世界。他的艺术不再着眼于对现实的再现或心理的投射，而是源于“物我齐一”的观照，使画中的每一个元素都获得自在的存在价值。此视角不仅重构了观看的逻辑，亦与当代哲学中聚焦内在体验与感知自由的思想相互映照。在语言策略上，他有意采用“坏画”式的否定性手法，以未完成的痕迹、断裂的意象和层叠的冲突，来抗拒意义的封闭与视觉的消费化。其画面因而成为一种禅宗意义上的“活句”，开放而多义，邀请观者进行直觉的体悟与精神的澄明。
吴维佳在当代画家中的典型性，源于他将绘画视为修行的态度及其所建立的个人化美学系统。他不仅承接了上世纪八十年代以来中国现代艺术中的反叛与实验精神，更在全球化语境中提供了一条回归内在感知、抵抗图像过剩时代的独特路径。他的实践表明，绘画至今仍保持着深入哲思的可能。
