深圳美術館將於2020年6月5日舉辦“物相——鄭孟梅個展”。
鄭孟梅畢業于湖北美術學院，現工作生活于北京和深圳。其作品以繪畫為基礎，同時置入現成品，或者把二維平面的畫布物化，在繪畫中植入裝置與雕塑語言，製造了一種真假莫辨的錯覺。作品對藍色與深灰色調的偏好以及有序排列的幾何形體，給人以靜謐且理性的形式感，但進入作品的真實語境，會發現形式的表像之下隱藏著激烈的情感世界，包括藝術家給作品的命名，亦包含著生活與情感的隱喻。後現代都市表像之下，隱藏著城市人情感的真實面——真實、時尚、具體，但是又荒誕、魔幻、抽象！鄭孟梅作品中二元對立式的並置實際是一種直面衝突的嘗試。就語言學而言，該系列作品亦頗有意味。深圳是移民城市，很多藝術家從外地匯聚到深圳並在深圳紮根之後，不約而同地開始從原有的寫實、表現或者傳統畫風轉向了抽象表達，而鄭孟梅該系列作品恰恰處於一種過渡性的中間地帶，從中可以見出一個區域的語言學脈絡，正如抽象繪畫發軔之初至上主義畫家所作的探索與嘗試。

在日益顯著異化的現代社會，對物、意識及存在三者之間交互關係的判斷基於其本身的巨大變化需要跳出既有認知去重新考量。英國經驗主義哲學家貝克萊認為“存在即被感知”，存在基於先驗性的或者既有的認知經驗。但人和意識的物化以及社會的異化重建了舊有秩序，感知與真實之間日益産生巨大差異，當代藝術很多時候正是基於這種差異追問表像背後的真實或者挑戰並解構固有的認知經驗。鄭孟梅的作品正是基於這種感知與真實之間差異的探討。

對物與空間的探討在進一步異化的現代社會中還將不斷地深入，對於鄭孟梅而言，把物相置於畫面中，是通過物相隱喻內心情感，或者，也是一個解縛的過程，是一種對自身存在的反思或者認知的重構。鄭孟梅的作品正是基於感知與真實之間差異的探討。
本次展覽將持續到6月14日。

展覽現場Exhibition-Site現場作品-On-Site-Work-尺寸可變-Dimensions-Variable-2019（正面）
Zheng Mengmei graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Arts and currently lives and works in Beijing and Shenzhen. Her works are based on paintings, while placing ready-made products, or materializing a two-dimensional plane canvas, that is, implanting installations and sculptural language in the paintings, creating an illusion of truth and falseness. These works mostly use blue and dark grey tones and orderly arranged geometric shapes, which give people a sense of quiet and rational form. But when you enter the real context of the work, you will find that there is an intense emotional world hidden under the appearance of the form-even the artist's name for the work contains a metaphor for life and emotion. Under the surface of the post-modern city, the real face of the urban people's feelings is hidden-truth, fashion, concrete, but absurd, magic, abstract! The dual juxtaposition of juxtaposition in Zheng Mengmei's works is an attempt to face the conflict. From a linguistic point of view, this series of works is also very meaningful. Shenzhen is an immigrant city. After many artists gathered in Shenzhen and lived in Shenzhen, they began to move from their original realism, expression or traditional style of painting to abstract interpretation. Zheng Mengmei's series of works is precisely in a transitional middle zone, from which a regional linguistic context can be seen, just as the initial stage of the development of abstract painting, the explorations and attempts made by the supremacist painters.
折疊空間Folding-Space-裝置油畫--30X60cm-2016
In a modern society that is becoming more and more alienated, due to the tremendous changes in itself, our judgment of the interaction between the three things, consciousness and existence, needs to jump out of the existing cognition to reconsider. British empiricist philosopher Berkeley believes that "to be is to be perceived", which suggests there is a priori or existing cognitive experience. However, the materialization of people and consciousness and the alienation of society has rebuilt the old order, resulting in a vast difference between perception and reality. Contemporary art is often based on this difference to question the reality behind the appearance or challenge and deconstruct the inherent cognitive experience. Zheng Mengmei's works are based on this discussion of the difference between perception and reality.
The discussion about object and space will continue to deepen in modern society with further alienation. As far as Zheng Mengmei is concerned, putting the Appearance in the picture metaphorically expresses the inner emotion, or, it is also a process of unbundling, which is a reflection or cognition reconstruction of its existence. Zheng Mengmei's works are based on the discussion of the difference between perception and reality.
