張煒：謠 zhang wei_ghost, complex, alone
謠——張煒個展
張煒的近期繪畫表現出作者對現實和歷史的獨到認識。看似單純的畫面卻蘊涵著豐富的表現力。他似乎樂於設計一系列荒誕又真實的事件場景，在單純和大量留百的畫面上悠然自得地發生。這些事件中的人物熟悉而陌生，似乎是童年的縮影，又像是現實狀態下的另一個自我。而在畫面中所遭遇到的卻是在現實中所熟悉但又永遠不會發生的事件片段。他通過這一些極為荒誕嘲諷甚至是童話般的發生來刺激人們的記憶神經，現實中為我們所知的真實事件在多大程度上能符合原有的真實？我們怎能區別現代媒體，數字模擬技術對真實的倣照，複製乃至重構？歷史的真實又是在多大程度上為我們把握？張煒用荒誕的真實提示著我們重新審視我們周圍的發生和我們對過去的認識。

Ghost, complex, alone - A solo exhibition by Zhang Wei
Zhang Wei’s recent works expressed his recognition for reality as well as history. From his simple composition, the artist was actually well knitting a series of ridiculous as yet real events. Amid the majority of whiteness, stories were told so naturally and amply. In his stories, the charactors seem to be so familiar as well as strange, epitome of childhood or another ego of reality. What appears on his canvases is in fact very familiar in reality but never actually happened. The arist stimulates the audiences’ memories with this seemingly absurd but childish sarcasm. How believable are those so-called true events we have heard about?
How can we distinguish the truthfulness of many things which could so easily be modified, reproduced or re-created by digital technology or simulation? To what extent is history to our control? Zhang Wei’s works remind us to re-exam what have happened around us & re-discover what have happened in the past.
