“茕茕孑立”梁洁作品展

前言

        2008年5月，我开始创作《旷》系列作品，当时正值汶川地震时期，我创作的时候心情可谓错综复杂，在2008年的作品中还能看出一些震后的影响。
        这个系列作品虽然不能完全地表达我们这一代年轻人的所有方方面面，但是也折射出我们的小小情感世界和价值取向。我们80后这一代被称作“垮掉的一代”、“没有责任的一代”。而现在，这一代人已逐渐步入社会，在面对社会困惑、迷茫、不安、自我怀疑、彷徨的 同时，也将要承担起对社会、家庭以及实现自我价值的责任，然而我们稚嫩的肩膀似乎无法承受如此重担，我们想逃避，我们在找寻，我们也想走出困境。我的《旷》系列作品就传达了这样一种当代年轻人的困惑情绪，我选择了年轻女孩作为的画面主体，把女孩安排在一个怪诞的场景，运用淡雅的灰色来渲染一种空灵的氛围。
        今天，我能做这样一个属于自己的展览，感到非常高兴。
        此为序。

    May 2008, when earthquake happened in Wenchuan, I started working on "Hollowness" series. Under such circumstance, I was immersed in a complicate mood during creation, so from my works of 2008 you can still find the influence of post-quake.
Although the series of works can not fully present the whole image of our generation, they reflect the emotion of our little world and value orientation. We, the post-80s generation, have been called "Beat Generation" and "The Generation without Responsibility." Now, the generation have gradually stepped into the society, confronted the social confusion, uncertainty, anxiety, self-doubt and hesitation, and taking the responsibility for the society, family and realizing self-worth. However, we seem too tender to shoulder such a burden, so we want to run away, and we are seeking the way to escape from the dilemma. The "Hollowness" series are to convey such a confusion of modern young people. A young girl has been chosen as the main character, and is placed in a grotesque scene, which is a natural and unrestrained atmosphere rendered by using simple light grey.      Today, I feel so happy to have my own exhibition.      This is my preface.
