古干 GU Gan
古干以「中國現代書法之父」而聞名,透過結合中國傳統書法的中的抽象 精神和高度自發性來表現其創作,並受到 20 世紀西方大師如畢加索、康定 斯基、克利、米羅等人的影響。
現代書法是相對於古典書法而言的。 古人以古人的感情作書,現代人用現代人的感情作書,如此而已 — 古 干
古干於 1942 年生於湖南長沙,1962 年畢業於中央美院中専,大學因病肄 業,曾任人民文學出版社美術編輻,文化部國畫創作小組成員。1985 發起 現代書法運動,組織了一批藝術家,在北京舉辦首屆「中國現代書法」展, 在中國掀起軒然大波,他的「山摧」(寓意告別傳統)作品也因此受到大英博 物銘青睞收藏。至此開始,古干逐漸成為一國際知名的藝術家。
古干的現代書畫是以高度抽象及精確化的圖像反映了一種相當深邃而簡約 的文化精神,他的作品乍看之下是將中國書法之美與西方抽象藝術形式之 美結合翻新,實質上是立足於中國古代【易學】觀念,將東方的有機宇宙 觀與西方淵源於人類生命過程中「自我價值實現」的觀念進行整合的產物, 進行中西溝通,把中國的書法藝術放在世界文化的定位。
此次《古干收藏展》,展出十四張古干於 1998-2006 年間的創作,引領觀 眾欣賞古干如何運用彩墨與壓克力彩,在宣紙以及古干自己製造的手造紙 上,將色彩引入漢字藝術,表現字在畫中,畫存字裡的創作理念。
Gu Gan, famous by "father of the chinese modern calligraphy" is a modern calligraphic artist, blends chinese calligraphy with western art. The works created by gu gan are expressed by merging the abstract spirit and high spontaneity of traditional chinese calligraphy in his artwork, with influences of 20th century western masters such as picasso, kandinsky, klee, miro, and others.
Moreover, besides the strongly alluring aesthetic form itself, the beauty of form in his works also reminds viewers of other connotations and eventually helps them update their concepts in aesthetic pleasure, which is a philosophical self-consciousness and sublimation completed through artistic appreciation.
Gu gan's is the first chinese artist used as wine label by the mouton rothschild wine in 1996, which is world-class premier brand and often collected as "artwork". It is the honor of chinese modern art to put gu gan the same stage with western masters like picasso, henry moor, and chagall.
One of the criticisms about him goes: originated from pictogram, chinese calligraphy has been consistently approprated since 2000 b.c. Its ‘spell’ and ’art’ coexist in accordance, and so do the formation of meaning and steady, accruate sense of beauty. While retaining the authenticity if this tradition, gu gan has furthermore reformed it. He endows colors onto the calligraphy thus escapes the confines of the conventions and the discipline of balance. He also adds seals on the painting as a decorative element. “now he is not only regarded a master, but also the leading theorist in the art field of his specialty. With what are shown in his works, it is proved that they bridge the chinese culture and the western art” gu gan is also invited to “brushes with surprise: the art of calligraphy in modern china” in 2002. gu gan’s art is introduced with special articles on the website of the museum. The british museum started a planned collection of gu gan’s works years ago. Undoubtedly his artistic performance has put him in the fine arts history of the world.
