Neo Baroque ⾎液裡的浪漫

— Thierry Feuz 西瑞.菲茲 台北.上海雙城個展


浪漫基因彷彿存在於Thierry Feuz的⾎液中,他期待曾經擁有的美好瞬間,可以透過藝術凝結成「⾒⼀花、成就⼀世界」的概念,並點出每個⼈都能在⾃⼰過去的⽣命經驗對應到美好的瞬間,記憶永恒依然。藝術對Feuz⽽⾔,是每個⼈的魔幻時刻,也呼應⼈類⽣命中的普遍性。這樣的深刻體驗,在Feuz作品中幻化成為⾃然中的花朵與⽣物,在稍縱即逝的⽣命維度中,毫無⽌境的蔓延。⼤⾃然中⽣命的本質是出⽣與死亡,這樣脆弱⽽美麗的平衡,是每個⼈都必經的旅程,為了對抗摧毀性的命定悲劇,抓住這樣美好⽽絢爛的瞬間,⽽珍惜每個活著的時刻,是作品中欲傳達的意念。
 
從創作技法及媒材上來說,Thierry Feuz是個喜好探索技法的藝術家,他的作品混合多種繪畫基因:古典時期的靜物畫、抽象表現主義的滴流技法及超現實主義的象徵意義,在創作過程中,他也必須精準地在畫⾯上控制每個流體顏料的位置與層次表現。⾃然、風景、花朵與⽣命,作為幾種通俗的繪畫主題,從藝術史上來看,19世紀荷蘭藝術家Vincent Van Gogh透過花與風景來表現情感;20世紀美國藝術家Georgia Totto O’Keeffe則以微觀花卉及植物、靜物、風景,帶入豐富的抽象性及複雜度,在當時更帶有女性⾃我意識的展現;1990年代時美國當代抽象藝術家Cy Twombly也熱衷於以花卉為主題進⾏創作,畫⾯中⼤量的垂直線條,在視覺上扮演著花莖的⾓⾊給花朵以⽀撐,同時寓意著⽣命輪迴中萬物轉瞬即逝的本質;近期,英國當代藝術家Damien Hirst也推出Cherry blossom系列作品,引⾃⽇本精神的八種美德,他認為花是美麗⽽脆弱,⽽美麗是瘋狂、容易消逝的,這樣的美提醒著在悲觀主義的環境下,⼈們試著從⽣活中得到意義。⽽Thierry Feuz從⽣命經驗及⾃然風景中取材,將具體之物放入虛實之間,輕易跨越了⽂化及抽象的界線,也提⽰著⽣命充滿希望,並以藝術紀錄這樣的美好瞬間。

本次Bluerider ART在臺北與上海兩座城市,同步展開Thierry Feuz的作品之旅。綜合性展出近年來精彩的系列作品,包含注⽬度相當⾼的代表系列作品Silent Winds,他曾表⽰此系列的靈感來源是兒時與祖⽗躺在鄉野中的回憶,歡愉地展現了繽紛絢爛的⼩宇宙,漫遊漂浮及持續動態的有機⽣命體,銘記著⽣命美好的時光。⽽作品Psychotropical系列則在朦朧的空間氛圍帶出迷幻感,彷彿服⽤精神藥物帶來不同以往的瘋狂夢景。作品Supernatural系列則局部聚焦在花朵花蕊本⾝,以繽紛紋理展現有機⽣命體的活⼒。Instant Karma則展現此刻當下與永恆的⽣命輪迴意義。Rain Garden系列巧妙地利⽤噴霧滴流技法及流體顏料相斥原理,賦予花朵透明光暈層次感。最新系列作品Hyperboreal則融合⾊彩及光線的迸發,展現強悍的⽣命⼒,更加狂放。

在不同的⾃然情境變化下:⽩晝與⿊夜、現實與夢境、前世與今⽣,⽣命的微⼩與巨⼤,在此展現。層次豐富⽽平衡的構圖、⼤膽的⾊彩、燦爛⽽詩意的存在美學,Thierry Feuz藉由繪畫為深刻的情感創造不凡的印記,開啟⽇常⽣活靜謐的紋理,轉為記憶及時間的洪流,凝望⾝邊的個⼈宇宙,探問⼈們存在的意義,並給予浪漫⽽雋永的答案。

Thierry Feuz-內在真理的永恆之旅

Oliver Orest Tschirky

憤懣與理想

Thierry Feuz的畫作與物件是受後現代啟蒙時代的新巴洛克旅程。稱之為新巴洛克式,因為其作品充滿了豐裕、動感、與情感。稱之為旅程,因為相關的主題圍繞著從恆星與星系的宇宙、到實物大小與特寫的花朵、再到微型宇宙和奈米世界。稱之為後現代,因為藝術概念中混合著分裂解構的記憶與文化元素。最後,稱之為啟蒙是因為畫作透過聚焦的理性開啟視野,進而到達新的互補現實。

平凡普遍的場景

完美而平衡的構圖、激動人心且大膽的色彩組合、使用強烈且純淨的色料、結構的清晰與清潔度、單一繪畫元素的精心設計、以及缺乏古典視角與透過模糊化某些描繪元素來獲得聚焦深度是所有作品固有的部份。圖像總是在抽象與具象之間來回擺盪,因此雖沒有直接的敘述,卻留有極大的解釋空間。儘管如此,明亮的色彩像煙火那般散佈在畫布上並產生了生物形態,或在其他系列的畫作中產生了幾何水平線。其令人著迷且帶有色彩爆炸與迷幻的畫作,無論第一眼是否理解畫作想表達的意境,讓觀者留下了深刻的印象。

過去五年以來,Theirry Feuz創作了一系列讓人印象深刻且豐富的畫作。大部份的圖像被解讀為花朵、靜物、風景、放大鏡下的大量微生物、華麗且不規則的圖騰、或繁星點點的夜空。色彩豐富的Gulfstream系列作品是以大西洋暖流命名,看起來像是充滿迷人花海或熱帶花園的大自然作品。而相關的Psychotropical系列作品可能是植物聚落中一叢植物或一束鮮花的近觀畫作。這些作品就像是服用了迷幻藥物,被猛然沖刷的瘋狂、超載、失控與不可思議。在Atlas系列作品中,植物或多或少有規律地分佈於畫布上,就像無盡作品中的一部份或像植物繁殖網絡那般。Supernatural系列可能是特定花朵的特寫鏡頭與人造世界的代表。Levante系列就像單一花朵的肖像,於頭部周圍散發出神秘的光芒。Technicolor系列作品是帶有各種水平色帶的條形畫,呈現出像是流動景色的印象,像彩色電影中假想穿越風景那般。這些畫作甚至可能訴說著一些平凡但模糊且難以理解的故事。最後,Andromeda系列的畫作主要以黑色為背景,上面帶有白色或彩色的圓點,這可以被解讀為夜空中仰望繁星與行星的圖像,也是藝術家創作系列之一。

神聖幻影

為了創作出這些璀璨奪目的畫作,Thierry Feuz發展出個人的創作方法、風格、與技巧。他利用濕的壓克力顏料與亮漆進行濕塗處理,這意味著他將液體顏料塗加在液體底漆上。處理單色重點漆料時,畫布必須水平放置於桌上。因此,他主要使用白色,鮮少使用黑色或其他強烈的基色。接下來,在顏料乾掉之前,他需要立即將其他顏色加於潮濕的底漆上並以刷子、小棍、髮梳、刮刀、刀子、噴霧器、氣刷等其他工具或器材進行繪畫。這其中的巨大挑戰是保持表面的光滑均勻性,並將可控和不可控的高流動性顏料整合成一個實體。

他必須非常仔細且精準地作畫,因為作品沒有辦法進行修正;一旦畫上了就是永久留存。他的挑戰目標是在最低干預的情況下達到設計與色彩組合的完美。就像一位指揮家想要掌握音樂家所釋放出來的動能以呼喚出完整的聲響;Thierry Feuz希望以準確的動能將適量的顏料塗至完美的位置,同時使顏色的融合具有其自身的動態與規律。這些顏色通過自然且不可控的擴散方式混合,產生色彩共振、活力、節奏、以及合諧的調性。此外,他還必須保持一種精神上流動的特殊心態來完成他的藝術品。

演化與革新

如今,在悠久且令人印象深刻的藝術層面上,Thierry Feuz絕對是位多元文化的環球旅行者,而他仍然在日內瓦這個大都會城市中保有自己的據點。在大學期間,他就已經開始參與各種展覽、獲得獎學金與獎項、並在刊物中發表成果。他於1968年誕生於奧地利充滿巴洛克風且迷人的維也納,在當地長大並就學。在愜意的瑞士納沙泰爾市完成藝術史與歷史的學術研究後,他成為日內瓦藝術與設計學院美術系的學生。他的專長是繪畫,而且在充滿生機與活力的柏林藝術大學度過了一年的交換學生生涯,最後完成了他的藝術教育並獲得了藝術碩士學位。

溶解

第一眼欣賞Thierry Feuz那些充滿歡樂氣息的作品,可能感覺畫作的主題是自然,尤其是其中的花朵與風景,甚至感覺其作品都是在具象、飾品、與抽象之間擺盪。從單一花朵到一串鮮花、從漂浮著的植物到匍匐前行的微生物、從蒼穹到線性景觀,你能夠從畫作中找出各式各樣的圖示與典故。但是細心的觀察家不僅可以看到色彩、形式、層次或主題中那明亮、閃耀、且歡樂的情緒交織,也能感受深刻且令人回味的意義。理智與膚淺的美之間似乎是矛盾的,但是實際上並非如此。Thierry Feuz利用後現代時代精神的哲學與主題認知,將古典、中世紀、巴洛克、印象派、超現實主義、與抽象表現主義等元素整合統一。

邪惡之花

Thierry Feuz的花朵與風景畫作的歷史淵源,可以在帶有理想主義之花園與公園的拉丁壁畫中、或阿拉伯風格中花捲雲裝飾的建築元素中找到。之後追隨著1410年間,不知名大師的宗教中世紀天堂花園、以及Juan Sánchez-Cotán或Juan van der Hamen y Leon那具有靈魂性且極富意義的巴洛克式Bodegones靜物畫。隨後,印象派畫家試圖透過花卉來表達情感,例如Claude Monet的睡蓮 (Water Lilies) 與Vincent van Gogh 的向日葵 (Sunflowers)。Max Ernst的超現實風景作品也讓人聯想到相似之處。抽象表現主義者之間存在著最多的類比,他們爭辨著Jackson Pollock的行動繪畫與滴淋法或Sam Francis雲朵作品的能量、對Mark Rothko的色域繪畫或Ellsworth Kelly的結構單色產生沉思,以及探討Cy Twombly的歷史畫作或Willem de Kooning的抽象風景畫所隱含的典故。但是,當Thierry Feuz畫出可媲美的花卉與花園時,他便囊括了這所有的主題。

Thierry Feuz的作品既誘人又討厭。「透過藝術,我能夠更加敏銳地生活,卻也同時消耗了我許多精力」,在談到自己的生活與工作時,Thierry Feuz坦白地說著。繪畫中的矛盾對敏感的觀察家來說是顯而易見的,因為壯麗且充滿詩意的畫作中所呈現的主題是美、愛、與死亡、是生命與自然的腐敗、或者是與創造、傳播、與凋零相干的戲劇性過程。就像巴洛克式畫作透過動態構圖與模糊技法來表現歡欣鼓舞的力量,Thierry Feuz理解並提升觀者的感知與認知範圍、打破界限、並為深刻情緒和感知、秘密、與寓意創造更深層的意義。他試圖以情感的活力、強度、與即時性微妙地引發交流,藝術只能使觀者產生模糊的感動,畢竟藝術終究只能引發混亂卻無法提供確切答案。

Thierry Feuz – Eternal Journey to Inner Truth

Spleen and Ideal 

The paintings and objects by Thierry Feuz are a neo-baroque journey in times of post-modern enlightenment. It is neo-baroque because the works are full of opulence, movement and emotions; it is a journey because the associated themes circle from the universe with stars and galaxies to life-size flowers and zoomed blossoms to micro-cosmoses and nano-worlds; it is post-modern because the artistic concept plays with fragmented and deconstructed elements of memory and culture; and finally it is enlightenment because the pictures open the view through a focused rationality to new and complementary realities.

Universal Scenes

The perfect and balanced compositions, the thrilling and audacious color combinations, the use of strong and pure paints, the clarity and cleanness of the structures, the elaborated design of the single painted elements, and the lack of classical perspective, the depth of focus by means of the blurring of some depicted elements are inherent parts of all works. Because the images always oscillate between abstraction and figuration, there is no direct narration but a lot of space for interpretation. Nevertheless the bright colors are spreading out on the canvas like a firework and are generating either biomorphic shapes or, in another series of paintings, geometric horizontal lines. The fascinating pictures with its color explosions and psychedelic plays of colors leave a deep impression without the understanding at first sight what is going on. 

In the last five years Thierry Feuz has developed an impressive and rich bunch of series of paintings. Most of the images will be read as flowers, still lifes, landscapes, a crowd of microorganisms under a magnifier, opulent and irregular patterns with blooms or starry night skies. The paintings of the colorful series “Gulfstream” are named after the warm water current of the Atlantic and seem like nature pieces, enchanting flower fields or tropical gardens. The related works “Psychotropical” represent maybe a closer look on vegetation such as a small group of plants or a bouquet of flowers. They express the crazy, the excessive, the uncontrolled and the inconceivable during the flush after having taken hallucinogenic drugs. In the group “Atlas” the plants are more or less regularly distributed on the canvas like a part of an endless pattern or a proliferating network of plants. The “Supernatural” are probably close-ups of particular blossoms and the representation of an artificial world. “Levante” are like portraits of isolated flowers with an mysterious light around its head. The “Technicolor” series are strip paintings with various horizontal color bands what create the impression of a passing landscape like a color movie with a fictive ride through a landscape. They even may tell a little unspectacular but unclear and incomprehensible story. 

Finally, the “Andromeda“ images with mainly a black background and small white or colored dots can probably be construed as the view upward to the night sky with its stars and planets and are one of the latest inventions by the artist. 

Devine Illusion

To create these brilliant and shining paintings, Thierry Feuz has developed his own practice, style and technique. He works with wet on wet acrylic paint and lacquer what means that he puts fluid paint on a liquid ground coat. The canvas has to be located horizontally on a table while he puts the monochrome key lacquer. Therefore, he mostly applies a white, more rarely a black or another very strong base color. Immediately, and before the paint starts to dry, he needs to add the other colors onto the wet ground coat and starts to draw and paint with brushes, little sticks, hair combs, scrapers, knifes, sprays and air brushes as well as other instruments and tools. The great challenge is to keep the smooth homogeneity of the surface and to bring together to an entity the controllable with the uncontrollable of the extremely fluid paints.

He has to work very carefully and precisely because there is no possibility of correction. What once has been painted is meant to stay forever. His challenging goal is to reach perfection in design and color combinations with minimal interventions. Like a conductor wants to manage the momentum of the musicians and to evoke the complete sound, Thierry Feuz wants to give the right amount of the paint with the accurate movement to the perfect position while the amalgamation of the colors has its own dynamic and rules. They mix themselves a little by natural and uncontrollable diffusion. The result leads to color resonance and vibrancy, rhythm, and harmonic tonalities. Additionally, he also has to be in a special mood to do his artistic work, in a kind of mental flow. 

Evolution and Revolution 

Today, Thierry Feuz definitely is a multicultural world traveler in the matter of art with a very long and impressive curriculum while he still holds his base in the little cosmopolitan city of Geneva. Already during university he started to participate in various exhibitions, received grants and awards and was published in publications. Originally, he was born in 1968 in baroque and glamorous Vienna, Austria, where he grew up and went to school. After his academic studies in art history and history in the cozy city of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, he became student of the Department of Fine Arts at the Geneva University of Art and Design. He specialized in painting, spent an exchange year at the University of Arts in vibrant and dynamic metropolis Berlin and finished his art education finally with a Master of Arts. 

Dissolution

At first glance at the joyous paintings by Thierry Feuz the topic is nature, especially flowers and landscapes, even the works are oscillating between figuration, ornament and abstraction. From single blossoms to entire bouquet of flowers, from floating parts of plants to crawling microorganisms, from firmament to linear landscapes, you find all different kinds of illustrations and allusions in the canvases or drawings. But the attentive observer not only sees the bright, shining and joyful play with colors and forms or layers and tomes but also senses the deep and evocative meanings. What seems to be a contradiction between intellect and superficial beauty, in reality is not. Thierry Feuz unifies classical, medieval, baroque, impressionistic, surrealistic and abstract-expressionistic elements with post-modern spirit-of-the-time philosophy and topical cognition.

Flowers of Evil 

The historic origin of Thierry Feuz’ flower and landscape pictures can be found in the Latin wall paintings with idealistic gardens and parks or in the architectural element of the arabesque, the decorative flower cirrus. Later follow around 1410 the religious medieval garden of paradise by an unknown master and the spiritual and meaningful baroque Bodegones still lifes by Juan Sánchez-Cotán or Juan van der Hamen y Leon. The impressionist painters like Claude Monet with the water-lilies and Vincent van Gogh with the sunflowers tried to express emotions through flowers. Also the surrealistic landscapes by Max Ernst evoke similarity. The most analogies exist with the abstract expressionists. They contend the energy of Jackson Pollock’s action paintings and drippings or Sam Francis’ clouds, the contemplation of Marc Rothko’s color fields or Ellsworth Kelly’s structural monochromes, as well as the allusion of Cy Twombly’s history paintings or Willem de Kooning’s abstract landscapes. However, when Thierry Feuz paints something comparable to flowers and gardens, then he includes all these topics. 

Both seductive and repulsive at the same time are the paintings by Thierry Feuz. “By making art I can live more sensitively but it also costs me a lot of energy”, Thierry Feuz confesses by speaking about his life and work. The ambivalence in the painting is obvious and pervasive for the sensitive observer as in the splendid and poetic images are the existential themes such as beauty, love and death, the decomposition of life and nature, the dramatic process of creation, propagation and decay coherent. Like baroque paintings are expressing triumphant power through dynamic composition and ambiguity, Thierry Feuz is fathoming and sharpening the scope of perception and cognition of the beholder, is breaking boundaries and is creating significance for deep emotions and sensations as well as secret and hidden meanings. With emotive dynamism, intensity and immediacy he tries to communicate something in a subtle way because art should move the observer without being completely clear since art cannot give definite answers but only evoke disturbance.
