Description 简介
This book contains two classic series, Chi Yi and Er Gong, which document the creative process of artist Chen Duxi over the past 13 years. Chi Yi is a way to merge the observer as a subject into the object of observation by means of movement, and to observe fluid changes as a way to study ontological painting from a subject-object perspective. The artist has long had a strong interest in and sensitivity to the texture and state of movement of subtle things. The works unify line and texture by reprocessing texture details in a highly distinctive personal style. Under the artist’s brush, the water patterns take different forms, and the flowing, coiling and settling movement states form a harmonious, subtle and introverted line aesthetic, and constitute the artist’s unique visual language and its visual spectrum. The Er Gong series is an interpretation of the microscopic world of plants and animals from a de-anthropocentric perspective, exploring the relationship between individual creatures and paintings.
《云蒸霞蔚》图录共254页，精选了陈督兮2009年至2023年的创作，其中包括艺术家的“虚静”、“持颐”、“尔躬”、“动物”和“肖像”系列作品的高清图片。
图录中还收录了四篇学者文章和一篇艺术家自述。鲍栋的〈水纹〉专注于陈督兮如何用线描性语言统一描绘物象；冯庆的〈且战且学仙〉将陈督兮的作品称为“古典心灵的现代临摹”，从艺术家的创作理念中感受中国贯穿古今的对于人与自然关系的想象；王薇的〈模进与迭奏〉则分析了陈督兮作品中的抽象性和具象性，展现了不同维度的元素如何在画面中交织融合。
FQM画廊客座学者郭欣然博士的章节〈遥远的共鸣〉以陈督兮2020年创作的《手》作为切入点，追溯了艺术家2013年至2019年的创作轨迹。作者细致观察了《手》（2020）和《以息相吹》（2019）两件作品，并指出陈督兮在视觉层面上处理线条的新方法：他的线条不再仅仅描绘水的运动，而是延展为身体上或身体内的纹路，也是一种从外在观察到内向探索的转变。《手》中的手纹依旧与水息息相关，暗示着身体内部永恒不息的流动、生长以及衰败与外表的平静。
