前言 | Preface

阿 尔 卑 斯 幽 灵Alpine Ghost

　　 历史是一套权力话语，艺术史当然不可能例外。你如何界定安迪?沃霍尔的作品是不是艺术，取决于你选择用哪一套语言来解读它。近年来有不少大画廊都在做被艺术史忽略的艺术家的作品展，将那些被排除出解释逻辑的作品，重新纳入体系内，这似乎在破除艺术的神话，但同时也是在巩固这一神话。

展览现场

　　 一个40多岁的老男孩儿画着马卡龙色的毛绒卡通形象，多少已经让人感到诧异，而当你看过他青年成名时的画作或许会更加惊讶，因为那是一个黑灰色组成的世界，画面冷静又克制，艺术语言连贯又富于特色。曾有研究哲学的理论家这样解读林天禄的作品“在物性全然暴露的时刻，一种来自事物内在的深沉理性，带着清晰和硬朗的表情，照亮了我们的凝视。”然而，艺术家却没有按照艺术市场给定的道路，继续稳定发展。在人生阶段发生改变的时刻，他决定追随内心的变化彻底转变画风，他很清楚这可能会让他失去已经获得的所有认可。

　　 2013年是林天禄作品发生巨大转折的一年，他有了自己的小孩。在回归家庭生活的同时，他对生活的感受也变了，色彩和叙事进入了他的画面。尽管知道市场的风向，他还是朝着充满童趣的画风一路奔去。从色彩艳丽的“年画”，到可爱小动物的风景，再到现在的毛茸茸，画面越来越容易使人共情的同时，似乎也再不能回到严肃艺术的阵营之中。不过，以上只是一种讲故事的方法，有想象力的观众完全可以透过它读到另一个故事。

展览现场

　　 第一眼看到林天禄的新作时，就被这些过分占据画面的绒毛所吸引了。它们厚重敦实，又轻盈柔软。他们过于庞大，以至于绒毛的边界溢出了画面，怎么看都不像是普通的玩偶，倒像是草木繁盛的山峦。《阿尔卑斯幽灵，远方》是春日的山，樱花盛开，如兔子粉色的衣裙飘飘洒洒；《未来》则是深秋的山包，金黄的枯草映照着夕阳的余晖；还有紧紧相拥的《情人》，他们是初秋被红色枫叶所覆盖的山峦，爱意在流淌。当我们同艺术家一样，放下那套被精心包装过话语，呈现在我们眼前的便是艺术家，以及你我内心涌动的风景。

展览作品欣赏

　　 柔软的植被，披裹在庞然的山体之上，眼睛宛如岩石的结晶，折射出不一样的灵魂。谁说这就不是严肃的作品呢？其实，风景由始至终都在林天禄的画作中占据着重要的位置，这一意象来源于艺术家幼年时期对于家乡四川的生动记忆。青年时代，它是坚硬晦涩的理性空间，如今，它依旧目光如炬，磐石般坚毅的躯体却有着柔软的外表，可以容纳更多心灵。

展览作品欣赏

　　 “艺术审美只有差异，没有高低。”林天禄这样说，也这样做。剥离曾经获得的艺术权力，坦诚地面对自己的内心，孩子气的形象，俗气的色彩都不再是他艺术创作上的禁忌。他为自己赋权，以另一种路径去践行他的艺术，而这一举动也赋权给普通观众，让每一个未曾受过专业训练的人都可以感受艺术的魅力。林天禄的世界里，阿尔卑斯是远方风景，是孩子们最爱的棒棒糖，也是成年人的甜蜜回忆。

— 赵倩颖

　　 History is a set of discourses of power, and art history is certainly no exception. How you define whether Andy Warhol’s work is art or not depends on which set of words you choose for interpretation. In recent years, a number of major galleries have been showing works of artists neglected by art history, taking works that have been excluded from the logic of interpretation and bringing them back into the system, which seems to be busting the myth of art, but at the same time consolidating it.

展览作品欣赏

　　 It’s somewhat surprising to see a man in his 40s paint plush cartoon figures in macaroon. And you might be even more surprised when you see paintings of his youth when he became famous, because that was a world of black and grey, calm and restrained, with a coherent and distinctive artistic language. A philosophical theorist once interpreted Lin Tianlu’s work as “a deep rationality from within things that illuminates our gaze with a clear and hard expression at the moment when the nature of things is fully exposed.” However, Lin Tianlu did not follow the path given by the art market and continued to develop steadily. At a moment of life change, he decided to follow his heart and completely changed his painting style, being fully aware that this could cost him all the recognition he has earned.

　　 It was in 2013 that he had his child, which marked a huge change of Lin Tianlu’s work. As he returned to family life, his feelings about life changed, and color and narrative entered his images. Despite knowing where the trends of the market, he has moved towards a childlike style of painting. From colorful “New Year paintings”, to landscapes with cute little animals, and now to furry ones, while the images are becoming more and more empathetic, it seems that they can no longer return to the camp of serious art. However, the above is just one way of telling stories, and imaginative viewers can read another story through it entirely.

　　 You would be attracted to these villus creatures when you look at Lin Tianlu’s work for the very first time. They look such heavy, but soft yet buoyant. They look so huge, even the frames seem too tiny for them, which make these furry friends look more like lush mountains, rather than stuffed toys.In Lin’s portraying, ‘The Alps Ghost, Faraway’ looks like a mountain during spring time, as the ghost’s cape are blooming and fluttering. Another work, ‘Future’, it looks like the mountain in late autumn, while golden leaves and sunset glow come together as one. Or in ‘Lovers’, the couple looks like the mountains of pre-autumn, covered by maples, while the romance flowing in the air. Following Lin’s mind, when we get rid of the gaudy paronomasia that people made about his work, there would be an amazing spiritual view unfolded in front of us.

　　 When we looking at Lin’s work in detail, we shall see and feel how plants gently covered the alp, and how their stone-like eyes tell the stories of their adventure like crystals exude their energy. So, who says these are not serious works?Natural landscape have been a significant part of Lin’s career and works, which came from juvenile experience in his hometown, Sichuan. In his early works, the image of landscape was more used to portray obscure rumination, whereas now, it is portrayed as Alps Ghost, conveying his sense of tolerance and conciliation.

　　 Lin Tianlu once said, “There are only differences in artistic aesthetics, not highs or lows.” And so he does. Stripping away the artistic power he once acquired, he honestly faced his inner heart. Childlike images and kitschy colors were no longer taboos in his artistic creation. He has empowered himself to practice art in a different way, which has also empowered the general audience who has not been professionally trained to experience art. In Lin Tianlu’s world, the Alps are distant landscapes, a favorite lollipop for children, as well as a sweet memory for adults.
