张巍惯以深沉的视觉语言重申着他对身体与身份问题的关注,他是一位以摄影为媒介来制造虚拟图像的艺术家。他的作品中弥散着对结构、比例、轮廓、明暗以及人物精神性的控制,整个制像过程充满了那些绘画式的惊心动魄的时刻。
《人工剧团——不知名妇女肖像》这组作品以西方标志性绘画作品人物的形象为雏形,将数以百计普通人的身体局部重新进行组合,通过人工互换,将其真实形象彻底消失和打碎。张巍主动的清除掉偶然与瞬间,但图像却有了穿透意识的说服力,塑造了全新的、虚拟普通妇女的肖像。一同被打碎的,还有我们对西方绘画大师塑造出来的这些“标准形象”的固定看法。
Zhang Wei restates his concern for body and identity with his deep visual language. He is an artist who creates virtual images through photography. His works are permeated with the control of structure, proportion, outline, light and shade as well as the spirit of the characters. The whole process of image making is full of those thrilling moments of painting.
The group of works of "Artificial Theater - Profile Portraits of Unknown Women " is based on the image of the characters in the Western Landmark painting works. By combining the body parts of hundreds of ordinary people, the real images are completely disappeared and broken through artificial exchange. Zhang Wei takes the initiative to eliminate the chance and moment, but the image has the persuasive power of penetrating consciousness, creating a brand-new, virtual portrait of ordinary women. Together with us are our fixed views on these "standard images" created by Western painting masters.
