风动之境 — 石甫「艺道双楫」艺术展观后
卓尔
近日，艺术家石甫于 Jenzi Art Gallery (兼 i 艺术舘） 举办个展。本次展览以书法、绘画、裝置與行为性实践为核心，呈现艺术家四十余年来围绕“艺”与“道”的持续探索。展览不仅展示作品成果，更构建了一个强调过程、体验与生成的当代艺术现场。
展览概述
本次展览突破传统媒介分类，将文字书写、抽象绘画 、空间裝置與行为并置于同一语境中。展厅空间被视为创作的一部分，墙面、帛書流线与观看方式共同参与作品意义的形成。艺术家通过对书写结构的拆解与重组，使作品呈现出明显的时间性、音樂性与行动性。
牢笼与破囚：从黑暗到光的转向
多件作品呈现出一种强烈的视觉与精神张力——如被欲囚、被围合、被反复书写覆盖的形态，令人联想到“囚笼”的意象。缠绕的笔触、抽象的符号与封闭的构图，暗示个体在现实与存在层面所面临的限制与压力。
与此同时，装置作品画面中刻意保留的裂隙、留白与光感，以及脫落的三角形，构成一种由內而外的转向与解脱。这种转向并非否定困境本身，而是在直面限制的內心观照过程中，指向超越与更新的可能。
文字的解构与当代表达
石甫的艺术实践根植于中国书法传统，但并不以文字的可读性为最终目标。艺术家将文字解构为點畫、线条、节奏与身体行动，使书写回归到意象性、符号性、物质性与时间性层面。传统书法精神在当代语境中被重新激活，与抽象艺术语言形成跨文化对话。
行为性与互动经验
展览中的作品并非静态完成，而是在观看过程中持续生成意义。观者的行走、停留与视线转换，成为作品经验生成的一部分，使展览呈现出明显的行为性与开放结构。
艺术即道场的创作立场
贯穿展览始终的，是艺术家“艺近乎道”的创作理念。艺术在此不仅是形式探索，更是一种持续的精神实践与修行，在传统文化、当代艺术形式与个人信仰之间建立内在连结。
结语
整体而言，本次展览呈现出一种高度整合的艺术实践形态。作品既具有历史纵深，也回应当下语境；既强调形式实验，也指向精神层面的思考。展览邀请观者进入一个不断生成的艺术场域，在其中体验流动、转化与觉察；並向当今社会现象，提出一个醒目的问号“❓”

An Art Report on Jenz Shifu’s Exhibition
Official Press Release – Jenzi Art Gallery
Jenzi Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by artist Jenz Shifu, showcasing an integrated body of work spanning calligraphy, painting, installation and performative practices. The exhibition reflects over four decades of Jenz Shifu’s continuous exploration of the relationship between art and spiritual cultivation.
Exhibition Overview
Moving beyond conventional media categories, the exhibition situates writing, abstraction, and spatial action within a shared conceptual framework. The gallery space itself functions as an active component of the work, where walls, movement, and modes of viewing participate in the formation of meaning. Through deconstruction and reconfiguration of written structures, the works emphasize temporality and process.
Cage and Breakthrough: From Darkness to Light
Several works convey a strong visual and psychological tension. Enclosed forms, layered inscriptions, and compressed compositions evoke the metaphor of a “cage,” suggesting the constraints faced by humans on existential and social levels.
At the same time, intentional gaps, open spaces, and passages of light introduce a sense of transformation. Rather than denying limitation, the works articulate a gradual shift from confinement toward openness, pointing to renewal emerging from within constraint.
Deconstructing Language in a Contemporary Context
Rooted in the tradition of Chinese calligraphy, Jenz Shifu’s practice moves beyond legibility. Characters are transformed into lines, rhythms, and embodied gestures, returning writing to its material and temporal dimensions. Classical calligraphic spirit is reactivated within a contemporary context, engaging in dialogue with abstract visual language across cultures.
Performative and Interactive Dimensions
The works are not conceived as static objects but as processes that unfold through viewing. The audience’s movement, duration of attention, and spatial positioning become integral to the experience, aligning the exhibition with performative and relational art practices.
Art and the Way as One
Underlying the exhibition is the artist’s consistent position that art and the spiritual path are inseparable. Artistic practice is presented not merely as formal experimentation, but as an ongoing discipline that connects tradition, contemporary methodology, and personal belief.
Conclusion
This exhibition presents a highly integrated artistic practice that bridges historical depth and contemporary relevance. It invites viewers into a continuously unfolding field of perception, where transformation, movement, and awareness remain in active dialogue.
