虚假的真实——武明中个展
策展人：黄笃
武明中是近年来颇受关注的重要艺术家之一。他从自身脆弱的情感体验中,偶然发现了作为表现媒介的玻璃与人的心理之间关系，经过观念化转换，形成了一种新的艺术语言——脆弱性和透明性。这种语言构成了武明中绘画的美学核心，既折射出对人的脆弱心理学的分析，又表现出透明社会学的指涉意义。如果说前者更多产生的是个人化的视知觉感受，那么后者则更多强调的是对社会系统的剖析。
近来，他更偏向于对透明性意义的追问，他主观性地延伸了玻璃透明性蕴涵的直接或间接的指涉意义，它与民主、自由、监督、公开、公共性、交往性等有着内在联系，恰恰是透明性的合理存在，才对社会起到一场外科手术的作用——舆论、监督与强制性，也正是通过媒体中介和思想调节来揭示和清除由独裁、操纵、阴谋、罪恶、隐蔽、腐败构成的邪恶根源。实际上，武明中把透明性延展到坚强与脆弱、虚假与真实的对立关系中，清晰地传递出这种对立信息——矛盾与冲突、固定与易碎、坚强与脆弱、自由与独裁、正义与阴谋、善良与邪恶等较量的关系。这些都归结于他把绘画语言处理得更机巧和富有张力。
武明中的绘画具有某种混杂性的特质，也就难以界定其风格的属性，这无疑代表了进入21世纪新绘画的一种情绪。
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.
