引言
“王家增為我們深刻地展示了一幅驚心動魄的人類異化的景象。王家增無一例外地為這些人物“統一著裝”，一律的藍制服，一律的幹部帽。這些亦工亦農，非官非商的人物，身份並沒有特指，它成為一種抽象的符號或象徵。今天的中國人在著裝上已經千姿百態，萬紫千紅，但是在王家增的作品中，這些人物卻仍然像30多年前那樣，人物都穿著沒有個性的藍色幹部服。我們不會忘記，這曾經是中國的重要標誌之一，因此西方人稱中國人為“藍色螞蟻”。王家增完全無視這種時代的變遷，又將這些藍色幹部服從衣櫃中翻出。但是，這些服裝並不表明王家增還在反思那個特殊的歲月，而是將其變作束縛和禁錮人類個性或人性的符號，這一詭異的符號，讓我們既恍若隔世，又宛若現實。在這種狀態中，我們也似乎進入了一個似死而活的境地。灰、黑色的調子，天地和萬物仿佛都由鐵塊鑄就，由此，濃重的冷酷感向我們襲來，不由使我們想到生死的問題。
在部分作品中，王家增好像有意打開一點他所鑄造的“鐵幕”一般的世界似的，他涂染了些許的紅色。這些紅色一如他在鐵盒子中放進的女人一樣，改變了一些冷酷，融進了一絲的溫情。但是，作品的基調依然是冷酷的。只不過這些“佐料”使得作者表達的主題突然變得具有了一定的相對性，減少一些絕對意義，因而也就變得有些活潑。但這只不過是王家增的“活潑”而已，或者説是“黑色的活潑”。

INTRODUCTION
“Wang Jiazeng revealed a soul-stirring vision of human dissimilation. He makes no exception of which the figures are all uniformed: all in blue and cadre cap. They can be either workers or farmers; neither government official nor merchants whose status are not identified and is only an abstract sign or symbol. Nowadays, Chinese are dressed of all sorts, but, in Wang Jiazeng’s works, people still look like are in 30 years ago, what whom wear has no individual character while all in blue tuinic and trousers. No one would forget that was one of the important marks of China then, therefore, Chinese were called ‘blue ants’ by Occidental. He is totally in defiance of the changes of time and rummages those out through chests and cupboards, in which not indicate that he is introspective of that special years but to symbolize the fetter and imprison of human character and nature. This tricky symbol seems like both another life and actual life. Under such circumstance, we are as if turning into a condition of being died but still alive. The style in grayish and black make the universe looked as though casting by iron, thus the dense callousness raid us that we could not help thinking about life and death.
To review all his works, some of them in obvious are as if a doorway to the outside world from the veil of Wang Jiazeng’s creation, in which he coats with slight colour of raddle. The colour is, as same as the woman in his box, to transform a thread of warmth from its origin coldness, though the basic keynote is still as hard as nails. Only are those little factors making the theme of expression suddenly appear definite relativity, and decreasing absoluteness so go into full of life. But, it is only the briskness of Wang Jiazeng’s or to say, as same as black humour, it is a black liveliness.
By Dr. Guo Xiaochuan’s < Men in Metal Boxes – Wang Jiazeng’s works>
