虛假的真實——武明中個展
策展人：黃篤
武明中是近年來頗受關注的重要藝術家之一。他從自身脆弱的情感體驗中,偶然發現了作為表現媒介的玻璃與人的心理之間關係，經過觀念化轉換，形成了一種新的藝術語言——脆弱性和透明性。這種語言構成了武明中繪畫的美學核心，既折射出對人的脆弱心理學的分析，又表現出透明社會學的指涉意義。如果説前者更多産生的是個人化的視知覺感受，那麼後者則更多強調的是對社會系統的剖析。
近來，他更偏向於對透明性意義的追問，他主觀性地延伸了玻璃透明性蘊涵的直接或間接的指涉意義，它與民主、自由、監督、公開、公共性、交往性等有著內在聯繫，恰恰是透明性的合理存在，才對社會起到一場外科手術的作用——輿論、監督與強制性，也正是通過媒體仲介和思想調節來揭示和清除由獨裁、操縱、陰謀、罪惡、隱蔽、腐敗構成的邪惡根源。實際上，武明中把透明性延展到堅強與脆弱、虛假與真實的對立關係中，清晰地傳遞出這種對立資訊——矛盾與衝突、固定與易碎、堅強與脆弱、自由與獨裁、正義與陰謀、善良與邪惡等較量的關係。這些都歸結于他把繪畫語言處理得更機巧和富有張力。
武明中的繪畫具有某種混雜性的特質，也就難以界定其風格的屬性，這無疑代表了進入21世紀新繪畫的一種情緒。
Fake Authenticity：Wu Mingzhong Solo Exhibition
Curator: Huang Du
Wu Mingzhong is one of most important and influential artist in recent years. From his fragile emotional experience, He has stumbled upon the glass as a medium to reflect the psychological connection of man, with the conversion of concept he has transformed it into a new artistic language - the fragility and transparency. The language became the aesthetic core of Wu Mingzhong’s painting, it not only reflects the analysis of people’s fragile psychology, but also presents the implication of transparent sociology. If we say that the former evokes more personalized feeling on visual perception, then the latter is more emphasis on the analysis of social system.
Recently, he has also tended to quest the significance of transparency, subjectively he has extended the direct or indirect implication of glass transparency, which has associated with the democracy, freedom, supervision, openness, commonality and affiliation, the reasonable efficiency of transparency became a surgery to the community– public opinions, supervision and mandatory rules, had disclosed and eliminated the villainous root that comprises the dictatorship, manipulation, conspiracy, crime, concealment and corruption. In fact, Wu Mingzhong has expanded the transparency to the contrast of toughness and fragility, falsity and authenticity, his paintings have clearly delivered the contrast – contradiction and conflict, solid and crispness, toughness and fragility, freedom and dictatorship, justice and conspiracy, kindness and evil. All of these are result from his ingenious and dynamic management of artistic language.
Wu Mingzhong's painting has some sort of intermixed characters, so it is difficult to define the attributes of its style, which undoubtedly represents a sort of mood of new painting in 21st century.
