Unlike Zhang Xiaoli's previous works, this composition abandons defined spatial boundaries, featuring matter that continuously melts, streams, and blends together. These merging elements expand throughout a constricted spiritual domain, venturing into shadowy depths. Yet amid this disarray, pinpoints of brilliance still pierce through the obscurity.
Zhang Xiaoli's recent nomadic experiences have transformed her perception of temporal and spatial dimensions. In ever-shifting surroundings, humans reshape themselves to conform to new environments; similarly, memories of past experiences persist through emotional and intellectual connections. While time gradually dulls our sensory perception, Zhang finds wisdom in ancient philosophy: "Laozi cautioned that 'The five colors blind the eye,' while Confucius advocated 'Seeing the unadorned and embracing simplicity'—teachings that guide us to discover transcendent illumination within encroaching darkness."
这幅作品展现了一个逐渐液态,流动的精神世界。与张小黎的其他作品相比,作品的空间不再有清晰的边界,物质不断液化,流淌,相互融合。画中不断交融的物质在被挤压的精神中蔓延生长,在幽暗中探索。但在混沌之中,仍可见星点的光芒照亮着晦暗的空间。近两年在各地的辗转,让张小黎对时间与空间有了新的认知,在不断变化的环境中,人也不断变换着形状适应新的容器;过往的新旧事物也因思绪与情感延绵于每一次的回忆。时光蹉跎着人们的五感,但她相信如“老子言‘五色令人目盲’,孔子言’见素抱朴’,引导我们在日渐临近的幽暗中捕捉神光。”Exhibitions
