2018年10月20日,由周祁出品、庄伯五策展的Charlie Sheard 个展,顺利在拾Space开幕,来自中外的很多朋友参加了画展开幕式,大家热烈的和艺术家Charlie Sheard进行交流,场面十分活泼轻松。



艺术家Charlie Sheard来自澳大利亚悉尼,是土生土长的澳洲人,也是很多中国艺术家的好朋友,他喜爱中国文化和艺术。

在长达40年的创作实践中Charlie Sheard找寻到了自己的抽象语言形式,他的作品得益于古希腊、拜占庭、文艺复兴等传统图像的潜移默化,也从澳洲现实中获取灵感,在众多因素影响下的创作无疑是有很大的学术价值的,在欧美艺术史上下文的逻辑语境中是成立的,它继承了欧洲传统抽象主义的线索,并在视觉语言表现上汲取美国当代抽象绘画的明快、简洁、清晰、乐观,同时去除了欧洲抽象的深刻、凝重、哲理、悲观。



近15年中,Charlie Sheard开始喜欢中国文化,痴迷中国宋元时期的山水绘画,并定期访问中国,尝试把中国一些传统美学因素融汇入画,希望从自己作品中淬火中西、并观照于宏观自然的感性认知。












观看展览的朋友中,很多人从查理的作品中找到共鸣点,并面对面的和Charlie Sheard进行交流沟通。





这次展览持续到2018年11月10日,开幕没有到现场感兴趣的朋友,可以继续过来参观原作。

Charlie Sheard
Charlie Sheard独特的纯粹抽象绘画大胆地柔和了色彩和形式。他的充满活力的视觉语言节奏表现在一系列的质感(金属光,哑光和冷光)和颜色(对纯净而且生动的色素高质量和高专业的调和)。超越这些品质的是Sheard对构图的掌握。他的作品建立在一系列有机的,对颜色,形状和质感的多层次相互重叠 - 有时候让构架独树一枝,并且引领风骚。
他对材料和运动柔和的能力是建立在他在艺术学院对绘画和表演的研究之上。他的职业生涯始于1982年在剑桥(英国)举办的个展,在那里他花了七年时间沉浸在欧洲艺术史和充满活力的20世纪末英国绘画。Sheard深受艺术史的影响,也从中国山水画宋朝和元朝时期作品中汲取灵感,这些作品传达了大自然的短暂性和微妙的人类情感。
Sheard的抽象作品已经在澳大利亚,欧洲,美国和中国的六十多个个展中展出。他的作品被全球许多著名的公共,私人和企业所收藏,包the Museum of Old and New Art博物馆(澳大利亚),世界银行(纽约),剑桥大学(英国)和迪肯大学(澳大利亚)。
由Terence Maloon策划的回顾展”Charlie Sheard,纯粹抽象的十年,2006至2016”于2016年在Drill Hall美术馆(澳大利亚国立大学)展出。这个具有里程碑意义的展览不仅反映了他作为领先抽象派艺术家已经建立的名誉,而且意味着他对形式,感觉和诗歌生动地捕捉和解释的持续兴趣。他最近的画展, "胡勤武和Charlie Sheard”在北京皋定画廊2018年4月举行。2018年9月他同时在May Sapce画廊和悉尼艺术节同时举办展览。
20年来Sheard在悉尼经营着一所著名的艺术学校,并且在北京中央美术学院,新南威尔士大学和新南威尔士艺术博物馆举办过讲座。

Charlie Sheard油画和绘画自述
我的油画和绘画是纯粹的抽象。这意味着我的作品中的意义直接由颜色,材料,绘画的处理方式,以及形状的描绘(身体能量)和组合来直接表达,并不是通过叙述或通过与任何特定模型或概念的相关联系来表达。正如Kandinsky所说:“抽象画家不是从部分自然来获取灵感,而是从整个自然中获取”。抽象绘画不仅仅是图像制作。相反,它包括身体能量的直接传播,也包括艺术家身体中情感和记忆的传播。
我花费了40年时间缓慢地发展了一种纯粹抽象形式的语言。我的实践和历史以及技术和材料的发展密切相关;我希望我的绘画反映了欧洲,中国以及澳大利亚文化历史上的广泛兴趣。我尤其对古希腊的文化,拜占庭的装饰形式,意大利的文艺复兴和北欧的审美学深感兴趣。他还对中国绘画有着持久兴趣,特别是对宋朝,元朝,敦煌早期绘画,以及中国历史悠久的山水画。15年来我定期访问中国以便能近距离研究这些作品,我认为我的作品是欧洲风格和中国风格的对话。
