位于杭州富陽(yáng)九龍大道上的抱華樓,有著西方建筑的現(xiàn)代感,簡(jiǎn)潔的幾何形體造型、拱形的連廊、金字塔式的天窗……但卻透著濃郁的中國(guó)江南氣質(zhì):天青色的外立面,小橋流水,樓里還蓄水養(yǎng)了幾十尾金魚(yú)。
2013年6月13日,這棟“中國(guó)”的“現(xiàn)代”小樓迎來(lái)了一場(chǎng)“藝術(shù)的盛宴”,中西文化在這里交匯,國(guó)內(nèi)外友人在這里共聚—由波蘭瑪麗亞·居里夫人大學(xué)、中國(guó)藝術(shù)報(bào)、浙江省美術(shù)家協(xié)會(huì)、浙江工業(yè)大學(xué)藝術(shù)學(xué)院、杭州師范大學(xué)美術(shù)學(xué)院共同主辦的“藝術(shù)無(wú)疆—波蘭當(dāng)代繪畫(huà)展”隆重開(kāi)幕,包括版畫(huà)、素描、水彩、丙烯等多種形式的50余件波蘭當(dāng)代繪畫(huà)作品首次在中國(guó)集中亮相。
知名畫(huà)家何水法在開(kāi)幕儀式致辭中說(shuō):“每次在國(guó)外看到好的藝術(shù)作品,都想帶回來(lái)讓暫時(shí)無(wú)法走出國(guó)門(mén)的青年學(xué)子也一睹域外藝術(shù)的風(fēng)采,這是我創(chuàng)立抱華樓的初衷之一。我希望能夠以抱華樓為平臺(tái),盡自己所能為國(guó)人引進(jìn)更多更好的域外藝術(shù)?!?/p>
浙江省文聯(lián)書(shū)記處書(shū)記柳國(guó)平則對(duì)何水法自費(fèi)引進(jìn)域外藝術(shù)給予了高度評(píng)價(jià):“何水法先生已經(jīng)將‘藝術(shù)無(wú)疆做成了一個(gè)有口皆碑的知名品牌,相信今后‘藝術(shù)無(wú)疆也將發(fā)展成我們浙江省的一個(gè)重要文化品牌。”
何水法近兩年來(lái)頻繁引進(jìn)國(guó)外展覽,以“藝術(shù)無(wú)疆”為題的展覽就已經(jīng)舉辦了三屆六次,每一屆都得到了學(xué)術(shù)界的廣泛好評(píng)。
第一屆第一次展覽,何水法引進(jìn)了以烏克蘭人民功勛藝術(shù)家安德魯申科為首的利沃夫畫(huà)派的60余幅精品佳作,首次將烏克蘭當(dāng)代油畫(huà)的多樣性呈現(xiàn)給了中國(guó)觀眾。之后不到半年,何水法又策劃了第一屆第二次展覽,將世界三大玻璃藝術(shù)中心之一的烏克玻璃藝術(shù)與有著“人民藝術(shù)家”稱號(hào)的畫(huà)家弗拉基米爾·巴對(duì)克的油畫(huà)作品引入中國(guó),引起了中國(guó)藝術(shù)界的巨大震撼。絡(luò)繹不絕的觀眾與學(xué)術(shù)界的交口稱贊,又一次印證了展覽的主題“藝術(shù)無(wú)疆”。
在引入外來(lái)文化的同時(shí),何水法也應(yīng)邀走出國(guó)門(mén),將“藝術(shù)無(wú)疆”的旗號(hào)插上了烏克蘭最高藝術(shù)殿堂—烏克蘭國(guó)家藝術(shù)科學(xué)院與波蘭盧布林市政府專用展館。何水法不僅收到了烏中文化研究中心頒發(fā)的“烏中文化交流大使”榮譽(yù)證書(shū),還與波蘭居里夫人大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)海洛耶夫、外事部部長(zhǎng)馬列亞達(dá)成了開(kāi)展藝術(shù)交流的合作意向。此次“藝術(shù)無(wú)疆—波蘭當(dāng)代繪畫(huà)展”是抱華樓何水法美術(shù)館與波蘭方面開(kāi)展的首個(gè)大型合作展覽。
波蘭是一個(gè)文化藝術(shù)繁榮發(fā)展的國(guó)度,這里走出了音樂(lè)家肖邦和諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主、女詩(shī)人辛波絲卡,也是先后獲諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)、化學(xué)獎(jiǎng)的居里夫人的故鄉(xiāng)。波蘭在美術(shù)方面也頗多建樹(shù),不僅有著大量?jī)?yōu)美的建筑古跡和傳統(tǒng)繪畫(huà)遺存,而且在現(xiàn)當(dāng)代藝術(shù)方面取得了令人矚目的成績(jī),是東歐當(dāng)代藝術(shù)中心之一。此次展覽為中國(guó)觀眾提供了一次較為全面了解波蘭當(dāng)代美術(shù)的機(jī)會(huì)。
在展覽開(kāi)幕前兩天,何水法就與居里夫人大學(xué)藝術(shù)學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)米哈洛夫斯基、副院長(zhǎng)烏拉、教授瑪利亞展開(kāi)了一次中波藝術(shù)對(duì)話,針對(duì)波蘭當(dāng)代藝術(shù)與中國(guó)藝術(shù)的共通性問(wèn)題展開(kāi)了學(xué)術(shù)探討。何水法指出中國(guó)畫(huà)在注重個(gè)性化語(yǔ)言發(fā)展、注重開(kāi)拓創(chuàng)新、不以真實(shí)再現(xiàn)對(duì)象為評(píng)判作品優(yōu)劣標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等方面與西方當(dāng)代藝術(shù)是相通的,瑪利亞則概括了波蘭當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的特點(diǎn):“不再是看到什么畫(huà)什么,而是想到什么畫(huà)什么,注重自我感情的表達(dá),注重通過(guò)畫(huà)面向世界訴說(shuō)情感?!?/p>
據(jù)主辦方介紹,此次展覽注重“專業(yè)性”和“學(xué)術(shù)性”,展出的作品全部出自波蘭居里夫人大學(xué)藝術(shù)學(xué)院以及盧布林美術(shù)研究所的教師之手,包含了傳統(tǒng)的木版畫(huà)、石版畫(huà)、絲網(wǎng)版畫(huà),還包括新興起的數(shù)碼版畫(huà)以及平面設(shè)計(jì)作品,并有素描、丙烯、水彩、綜合繪畫(huà)等多種藝術(shù)形式,集中展示了波蘭最具代表性的版畫(huà)藝術(shù)和平面設(shè)計(jì)藝術(shù),反映了他們的基本風(fēng)貌和整體水平。就這些作品而言,每一位藝術(shù)家都有著自己獨(dú)立的藝術(shù)表達(dá)方式,建立起了一個(gè)獨(dú)立的記錄世界的觀察視角,無(wú)論具象、抽象或者符號(hào)化了的作品,都是藝術(shù)家在低調(diào)含蓄地表達(dá)自己所理解的詩(shī)意的現(xiàn)實(shí)。

Borderless Art—The debut of modern arts from Poland in Hangzhou
By Zhu Fengjuan
Baohualou may be the most eye-catching building on the Jiulong Avenue in Fuyang, one of the satellite cities of Hangzhou. Featuring an enchanting combination of traditional Chinese architectural elements and Western modernity crafted by geometric patterns and pyramid-style skylight, the boutique space has become an art hub and is the dream of its owner coming true.
“Baohualou was created with the goal to offer an elite platform to share the global art trends with Chinas young artists who have never got chances to go abroad to feast their eye on the goings on in the international art arena,” said He Shuifa, the owner of the place, in the opening ceremony of a major art exhibition on June 13 this year.
Featuring the latest art trends in Poland, the sumptuous ‘a(chǎn)rt feast is just one of the convincing examples showing how the artist realizes what he calls ‘borderless art in this fine art space and his contribution to a provincial-level cultural brand promoted under the same name.
Baohualou has been the proud host of six exhibitions of such scale and influence in the past two years, all under the theme ‘borderless art.
The first exhibition of the series featured the works by Andrew Atroshenko, one of the most prominent artists from Ukraine, and was considered the debut of the modern oil paintings of Ukraine in China. The exhibition was soon followed by the glass art show from Ukraine, one of the worlds top three glass art palaces, and the works by the most famous oil painter of Ukraine.
He Shuifa also brought ‘borderless art outside of China and raised the flag at the most prestigious art palace in Ukraine, which earned him the reputation of ‘Sino-Ukraine art ambassador and led to more high-end cooperation in the art fields between the two countries.
Poland has long been proud of its culture and art. It is the homeland of Chopin and nurtured such shining figures as the Nobel Prize laureate Wislawa Szymborska and Madame Curie. It also stands out in the world art scene for its unrivaled architectural and art heritages. Poland has long been one of the art hubs of modern art in Eastern Europe.
In a warming-up seminar held two days ahead of the opening of the exhibition at Baohualou, He Shuifa talked to several artists from the Art School of Madame Curie University about what the artists of the two countries share in their pursuits, pointing out that modern artists in the two countries share a lot in creativity, a noticeable focus on individualized styles in the artistic interpretation, and flexibility in evaluating the quality of art works.
His conclusion was echoed by Marie, a professor from the university, who summed up the modern trends of the modern art of Poland by saying: “Polish artists today are not painting what they see, but are portraying whats in their imagination. They are expressing feelings..”
The exhibition in June showed a high professional and academic level. Covering a wide range of artistic genres such as woodcut, lithograph, graphic design, pencil sketch, propylene drawing, water color and digital printmaking, all the works on display are crafted by the masterful hands and brushes of the teachers in the Art Department of Madame Curie University and Lublin Art Institute, showing the cream of modern art in Poland and the charismatic style of each participating artist.
