2016 年6 月中国著名当代艺术家蓝正辉被邀请在美国带来一系列的讲座，其中包括在鲁贝尔家族收藏博物馆、佛罗里达国际大学以及马里兰艺术学院的特邀发言。被誉为第一位将重水墨画的深厚传统挥洒于当代抽象表现主义之中，并浑然天成在庞大尺幅画布上的中国当代艺术家，蓝正辉蜚声世界。今年六月他的作品正在瑞士艺术巴塞尔期间的VOLTA 艺术博览会展出。

艺术家在全美进行的系列个人演讲受了各大受邀地点的观众群体的褒奖和深层互动。在演讲中，蓝正辉以自己充满戏剧色彩的艺术生涯故事拨动席间每位学生和艺术家的心弦。八、九十年代的中国正值紧绷的局势，身为艺术家的蓝正辉自有一番境遇，讲述起来，笑泪纵横。“在这社会渴求真实的节骨眼儿上，我殷切地想要通过讲述我自身作为艺术家的挣扎、所汲取的教训以及所秉持的希望与观众建立联系。”蓝正辉说。“而这段美国经历将把我的艺术创作带往新的方向。我与美国艺术家、艺术学者、文化探索者以及大众的互动和交流也将对我的工作产生影响。”蓝正辉补充道。

在鲁贝尔家族收藏博物馆，著名收藏家梅拉·鲁贝尔亲自主持活动。梅拉与先生唐纳德·鲁贝尔前不久为展览“中华廿八人”挑选了几件蓝正辉的作品，与夫妇二人在中国之旅中亲自发现的其他艺术家同台展示。自在迈阿密海滩巴塞尔期间开展以来，“中华廿八人”正在全美进行巡展，所经之地包括旧金山亚洲艺术博物馆和圣安东尼奥艺术博物馆。唐纳德与梅拉夫妇过去十年曾六次前往中国躬亲调研，于北京、成都、广州、杭州、香港、上海和西安等地参访了一百间艺术家工作室，为其博物馆的永久性馆藏和此次巡展寻觅作品，而此次巡展也为夫妇二人十年来的心血作下总结。

在马里兰艺术学院，蓝正辉曾受邀在一次报告会上发言，该报告会由勒鲁瓦·霍夫伯格绘画学院(Leroy E. Hoffberger School of Painting) 院长琼·沃特莫斯(Joan Waltemath) 牵头，观众由艺术家、学者及藏家组成，全场座无虚席。

蓝正辉发起了“体量水墨”运动，将写意的中国传统重水墨画法带到新的层面，为之注入当代艺术中常见的抽象概念与表现主义，也因此备受国际认可。他以巨大尺幅绘制的佳作令观者屏气凝神。

将中国重水墨画的古老传统与西方抽象表现主义进行空前的美学融合，令两者再造重生，蓝正辉的创作功不可没。他豪放、矫健的笔触驭墨驰骋，以革新中国当代艺术中山水景观的手笔探寻其自身的动能，将水墨从形式的窠臼中解放出来。

AS AMERICA GRAPPLES WITH THE COLLISION OF NEW IDEAS AND

OLD TRADITIONS,

LAN ZHENGHUI BRINGS NEW MEANING TO “EAST-MEETS-WEST” WITH HIS ART

Written by Jose Lima/Bill Spring/

(NEW YORK & BEIJING) -One of China’s leading contemporary artists Lan Zhenghui is presenting a series of lectures throughout the U.S. in 2016 that has included invitations to speak at the Rubell Family Collection, Florida International University's College of Architecture + The Arts, and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). He is renowned worldwide as the first-ever Chinese contemporary artist to catapult the ancient traditions of heavy ink painting with electrifying contemporary abstract expressionism.

During his six months in the U.S., Lan Zhenghui will create a new body of work that reflects his immersion into a period that promises to be unlike any other in America’s history.

“As all around me the U.S. grapples with the push-and-pull of new ideas challenging old traditions, this American experience will advance my artwork into new directions. My interactions and engagements with artists, art students, culture seekers and the public in the U.S. will impact my new work. I know for sure that the spirit of America as a frontier for new ideas will ultimately endure,” adds Zhenghui.

At the Rubell Family Collection, the famed art collector Mera Rubell personally moderated the event. Along with her husband Donald,the Rubells recently selected Lan Zhenghui’s artworks for their exhibition 28 Chinese, featuring artists they personally discovered during their travels in China.

After launching the exhibition during Art Basel Miami Beach,28 Chinese is touring the U.S. including presentations at San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum and the San Antonio Museum of Art.This exhibition is the culmination of six research trips to China for Mera and Don Rubell during ten years, visiting one hundred artist studios in Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangshou, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Xi’an to acquire the artwork for their permanent collection and for this traveling exhibition.

During his lectures, the artist provokes and challenges students and artists with tales of his dramatic artistic trajectory. Tears and laughter abound as Lan recounts tales of his personal experiences as an artist during some of China’s own confrontational moments in the 1980s and 1990s.

“Du r in g t h i s p ivota l time when soci e t y is hungry for more authenticity, I want to earnestly connect with my audiences by relating my personal struggles as an artist, lessons learned, and hope,” said Lan Zhenghui.

Lan Zhenghui launched the “Power Brush” movement and is recognized internationally for taking the free-hand strokes of traditional Chinese heavy ink painting to new levels: infusing them with the abstractions and expressiveness found in contemporary art.The results are breathtaking large-scale masterworks on enormous panels.

Credited with creating a never-before-seen aesthetic confluence between the age-old traditions of Chinese heavy ink painting and Western abstract expressionism, Lan Zhenghui’s work has famously reinvented both. His bold, kinetic strokes drive the ink to discover its own momentum in ways that have forever changed the landscape of contemporary Chinese art - liberating ink from being determined by form.

The ancient spirits of Chinese landscape linger however, like ghosts on the canvas. They haunt both his process – the brushstrokes, the vectoring – and the resulting shapes. Mountains, rivers, storms, even figures surge and evaporate subliminally.
