人文山水景观探索
山水是地球上最雄伟的自然景观，也是人类赖以生存的两大物质基础。在中国人几千年的生活和文化意识里，山水伴随中国整个历史发展，占有极重要的位置。
清朝学者张潮的《幽梦影》中提到：“有地上之山水，有画上之山水，有梦中之山水，有胸中之山水。” 这说明，山水即道，除了是自然景观外，更是中国人的东方精神符号，反映了我们的天下观、宇宙观、生命观。
在明清之前，山水画更像是一门“应用心理”学科，表现山川之妙为人类寻求某种精神寄托。东晋顾恺之《洛神赋图》，体现“人大于山，水不容泛”的艺术风格；唐代“诗佛”王维的水墨山水，写意为主，追求诗中有画、画中有诗；宋代马远、夏圭追求的秀美抒情；一直到明清的山水画从沈周、文征明到石涛，成为画家品格的象征。这时的山水画更多是“心中的山水”，与西方艺术发展遵循科学的探究精神截然异趣。
在今天，中国当代山水画的发展，融入了现代科学视角，通过观察体验，认识思考我们的社会环境，辩证地描摹自然。王绍强先生即以交叉学科“科学—史学—美学”三维体系的“后山水”表达范式，呈现了一场新的人文、地理、哲学的当代山水实验。
王绍强，广东汕头人，同时兼具艺术家、策展人、美术馆馆长、杂志出版人、博士生导师等多重身份。这些跨界多元的身份，激发了他对与自己情感相连结的地域文化的思考，他的作品也成为他人生不同角色的浓缩与升华——在对传统文化以及对当代社会的理性思考中，构建出属于自己的“人文山水景观”。

这些年，王绍强更像一名“社会学家、考古学家”，通过对我国西北地区，包括甘肃、敦煌及张掖山海关等一带地质的现场考察与对当地地质博物馆藏品和文献资料的研究，作出详尽科学的人文地理系列调研报告。一望无垠的孤烟大漠，河湖土状沉积物经风化、风蚀、流水等外界不同的作用力，在岁月蹉跎下所形成的天然地貌，给王绍强带来强烈的视觉震撼，带着孜孜不倦的好奇与追问，在人文地理图像学研究的基础上，王绍强推陈出新，在自然地理和人文地理两条线索融会贯通，历经千年形成的天然风貌、风积砂石成为了他作品“后山系列”的创作元素。
借助水墨的灵性，以复迭、移置、互渗、交融等多种语言的实验，他创作了一种新的当代水墨山水景观图式——方格网状地图下是薄雾缭绕的山峰，深邃意蕴、平和却饱含力量感，赋以自然万物以生态气象的和美之貌。
“后山系列”作品给予我们前所未见的新奇，又让人有一种似曾相识的熟悉感，产生一种共知的审美经验的链接。这种新水墨图式打破了过去我们对山水绘画的认知，提供了一种穿越古今，拓展历史维度的观看角度，传递出一种深刻而玄奥的形上之思。

得益于他的史学思维，王绍强作为广东美术馆馆长，因为多元的职业身份和长期的工作经历原因，他能接触全球多元化视野范围的作品，产生了更多历史性思考。
现在很多美术馆都运用社会学的研究方法进行策展，例如法国的人类博物馆结合体质人类学、社会人类学方法，通过展品陈列了解女性文化、头发的变迁等等，具有非常详实的研究。王绍强也把这种科学、社会学、史学的思维训练，融入到自己的创作里。
“站在地上的我们仰望星辰，从古至今不断探索着生命之外的无限；而只有当人类真正翱翔太空后，回过头来才能更好地注视大地，以及自身。天与地，此时又像是万物与自我的灵魂对话。”谈起创作灵感，王绍强曾有这样的论述。
基于大量阅读，他对中国古代山水艺术有了更深入的理解，过去所说的“文人山水”，更多是文人墨客投身于自然山水之中，怡情悦性、吟哦歌咏，但在王绍强眼里，中国山水自古以来都与地理环境息息相关，因此他想通过一种类似物理学或地质学的探讨，以现代科学精神、方法和当下文化的个体经验，重组个人的水墨艺术谱系。
本次新展《二即一：王绍强个展》，是王绍强水墨实验探索的一个艺术与思想上的总结归纳。参展作品《列宿垂象》一画，以墨色为底，银汉罗布，在古代天象图的传统中，纳入了现代天文学知识，既给人以真实感，又留下无穷的想象。在影像的光影跳动中，让观者置身于天地间，俯瞰大地又仰望星空，重现万物的灵动影像《列宿垂象NO.2》区别于纸本，是一组影像作品。借纸本水墨绘成河海山川，借影像媒介点出星罗棋布，轨迹。

绍强曾言：“从仰天观地到尝试去窥探自然作用下孕育的文化变迁，我们发现，对地理学科人文性与艺术性的考量越来越无法脱离对人们个体的内在解读。”“个体内在解读”是值得探究的话题。要解读王绍强的创作，就脱离不开他的个人经历、社会阅历与精神思考。他的出生地潮汕地区是广东东部一个极具深厚传统文化的沃土，年少时候，王绍强接触不少水墨大家，包括丁立人、王天德，让他对水墨产生深刻的认知，丁立人那句“画画就是画出内心世界”植根在他内心，产生出强烈共鸣。
在他担任广州美术学院视觉艺术设计学院院长时期，长期的设计教育、编辑工作的经历，令他具有敏锐的问题意识与与众不同的审美力，形成了独特的艺术面貌——他的笔墨在网格、卫星地图标识、水墨材料、山水意象之间建立有效的、美丽优雅的逻辑，自此形成了王绍强艺术风格的主要特征。这些元素组合一起，呈现天地的宏大气象，沧海桑田之感。

王绍强自述他对于西部自然的体悟深刻，在对张掖、敦煌的地质考察过程中，自然盛衰的变换直接地摆在眼前，他被深深触动，雅丹地貌历经孕育-幼年-壮年-老年-消亡的过程，似是人类无法抗拒的自然宿命。他在水墨的渲染中再现那神秘莫测的地理容貌，呈现沧海桑田的历史。经过他的一番精心经营，我们得以看见一种既真实又震撼的视觉图像。

王绍强的创作，是他认识世界的一个手段，关乎个人与社会、个人与时代的全局思考，是思辨性观察下的艺术表达。只有当人意识到宇宙万物的历史变迁，意识到人类命运共同体的世界格局，才能清晰认知个人的定位与使命，让自己的艺术创作与众不同。
凭借学者的严谨态度，王绍强从“科学—史学—美学”出发，从人文地理科学观到对宇宙与哲学等层面孜孜不倦的探索、创新与实践，将精神与观念所满溢的景观图像结合中国传统的水墨语言，构建出独特的“人文山水景观”。

An Exploration of the Landscape as Humanistic Environment
(Curator, Director of the Central Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum)The Analects of Confucius declares, “The wise one enjoys water, the benevolent one enjoys the mountain”.Mountains and rivers are the earth’s most majestic landscapes, and are also two major material foundations for human survival. For millennia, mountains and rivers, as the foundation of our landscape, have occupied an extremely important position in Chinese lives, in our cultural consciousness, and in the development of China’s entire history.
As the Qing Dynasty scholar Zhang Chao mentioned in Quiet Dream Shadows (You Meng Ying), “There are landscapes on the ground, landscapes in paintings, landscapes in dreams, and landscapes in the heart.” This demonstrates that landscapes are guides. Transcending purely natural scenery, landscapes are a symbol of the Chinese people’s Eastern spirit, reflecting our view of the world, the universe and life.
Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, landscape painting was more like, 'applied psychology;” in expressing the wonders of mountains and rivers humankind could seek a form of spiritual sustenance. During the Eastern Jin, Dongpu native Gu Kaizhi's, “Poetic Pictures of the Luo Immortals,' embodied the artistic approach, 'people are greater than mountains, and water must not flood [the picture].” Tang Dynasty’s, 'Poetic Buddha' Wang Wei's ink landscapes focus on freehand brushwork in pursuit of poems within paintings and paintings within poems. Song Dynasty’s Ma Yuan and Xia Gui quested after beauty and lyricism. Until the end of Ming and the beginning of Qing, landscape paintings, from Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and onto Shi Tao, were all symbolic expressions of the artist's character. This form of landscape painting is better understood as a, 'landscape of the heart.” This landscape paradigm contrasts sharply with the spirit of scientific inquiry within the development of Western art.
Today, the development of Chinese contemporary landscape painting has become integrated with a modern scientific perspective. Through observation, practice, knowledge, and reflection on our social environment, we can describe nature dialectically. Mr. Wang Shaoqiang’s three-dimensional, interdisciplinary, “science, history, and aesthetics” system emerges as the “post-landscape”, a humanistic, geographic, and philosophical experiment in contemporary landscapes.
Wang Shaoqiang is a native of Shantou, Guangdong. He has multiple identities: curator, art gallery director, magazine publisher, and doctoral advisor. These cross-border, diverse identities stimulate his emotionally-connected, regionally-inflected, cultural mediations. Returning to his creative work as an artist, his pieces become the condensation and essence of his various life roles. Rationally reflecting upon both traditional culture and contemporary society, he constructs his unique, “landscape as humanistic environment.”
1. Science: A Sociologist's InvestigationIn recent years, Wang Shaoqiang has become ever more akin to a sociologist and archaeologist. He has researched the geology of Chinese northwestern region, including Gansu, Dunhuang, and Zhangye’s Mountain and Sea Pass (Shanhaiguan). He has also investigated the collections and documents of local geological museums, resulting in a series of thorough, detailed, and scientific research reports on human geography.Limitless expanses of solitary, sooty desert, and the soil formed by the sediments of rivers and lakes, have both been formed by differing external forces, such as weathering, wind erosion, and flowing water. The lapse of time structures these natural formations and imparts a strong visual shock to Wang Shaoqiang. With a tireless curiosity, expressed in part through his research on human geographic iconography, Wang Shaoqiang combs through the past and produces something new in the process. His expertise arises from comprehensive studies, integrating natural and humanistic geography. Millenia-old natural scenes and wind-gathered sandstone become creative elements within Wang’s “The After Hill Series.”
Helped by the spirituality of ink and wash, he experimented with multiple languages such as overlap, displacement, interpenetration, and blending. He created a new contemporary, ink-wash, scenic, landscape, mapping pattern. Under a square grid map are fog-entangled mountain peaks whose profound meaning, tranquility and potency endows all of nature with an ecological atmosphere and gorgeous appearance.
The works within the “Back Mountain Series” provide unprecedented novelty while simultaneously inducing both an intimate sense of déjà vu and a common, shared aesthetic experience. This new ink-wash diagram style breaks apart our previous understanding of landscape painting. Crossing antiquity and the present, this approach infuses a historical dimension to visual perspective and experience. Wang’s innovation transmits a profound and abstruse form of metaphysical thinking.
2. History: Integrating the Natural and the HumanisticHis historical approach informs Wang Shaoqiang’s role as the director of Guangdong Museum of Art. His multiple professional identities and extensive work experience enable Wang to engage with art from a globally diversified horizon which, in turn, generates more intensely historical thinking.
Currently, many art museums use sociological research methods in curating. One such example is France’s Anthropology Museum which integrates physical and social anthropological methodologies. For example, exhibit items can be used to understand and research concrete details within women’s culture, such as minute changes in hair customs. Wang Shaoqiang similarly incorporates training in scientific, sociological, and historical thinking into his creative work.
Discussing creative inspiration, Wang Shaoqiang elaborated,
'Standing on the ground, we look up at the stars. From antiquity, we have constantly explored the infinity that exists beyond our mortal lives. Only now, after human beings have actually soared into space, can we turn back and truly gaze at the earth and ourselves. Heaven and earth: this contrast appears like a dialogue between everything material and our own souls.'
Through extensive reading, Wang has acquired a profound understanding of ancient Chinese landscape art. In what has been up to now referred to as the paradigmatic, 'literati landscape,' literati artists threw themselves into the natural landscape, cheering their hearts and composing their minds through chanting and singing. In Wang Shaoqiang’s eyes, however, since antiquity the Chinese landscape has been intimately related to the geographic environment. Therefore, he wants to restructure his personal ink wash pedigree through scientific investigation, like that within physics or geology, using modern scientific vigor, methods, and current culture’s individualistic experience.
This new exhibition, “If Two, Then One: Wang Shaoqiang Solo Exhibition” is an artistic and conceptual summary of Wang Shaoqiang’s experimental exploration of ink and wash. The exhibited “The Heaven Hangs out Figures” is a painting with ink color as the base over which the Milky Way is displayed. Into the tradition of ancient astronomical maps, modern astronomical knowledge is incorporated. This not only gives people a sense of verisimilitude, but also allows for limitless imagination.
Unlike his paper only pieces, 'Ordering Constellations Bequeaths Form, No. 2,' is a video media series. Wang uses ink on paper to draw rivers, seas, mountains and rivers, and video to indicate the scattering of stars. In the pulsing of images’ light and shadow, the viewer feels as if between heaven and earth; peering down at the earth and looking up at the stars, all creation reappears in the swift track of one’s gaze.
3. Aesthetics: Catharsis under Managed CompositionIn addition to being academic and conceptual, Wang Shaoqiang’s works inspire surpassing aesthetic appreciation.Wang Shaoqiang stated, “Observing heaven and earth, and trying to spy out nature’s purpose gave birth to cultural evolution. We discovered that deliberation over the humanistic and artistic aspects of geography is increasingly inseparable from people’s individual, internal interpretations.”“Individual, internal interpretation” is a topic worth exploring. To interpret Wang Shaoqiang’s creative works as one cannot leave out his individual and social experience or his spiritual thinking.His birthplace, Chaoshan, is a fertile land with an intensely deep-seated traditional culture in eastern Guangdong. When he was young, Wang Shaoqiang came into contact with many major ink wash artists, including Ding Liren and Wang Tiande. This produced in Wang a profound understanding of ink wash. Ding Liren’s phrase, “Painting is the drawing out of the inner world”, was planted in his heart and produced a strong resonance.
Wang service as Dean of the School of Visual Art and Design of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts is part of his extensive career in design education. This academic background plus valuable experience in editing have given him a keen awareness of problems and an extraordinary aesthetic. They inform his unique artistic outlook. His pen and ink establishes an effective, beautiful, and elegant logic among the grids, satellite map logos, ink wash materials, and landscape imagery constituting the main features of Wang Shaoqiang's artistic style. These combined elements present the magnificent atmosphere of the world and a sense of the vicissitudes of life.
Wang Shaoqiang has mentioned his profound investigation into western China’s natural history. In geological surveys of Zhangye and Dunhuang, the unpredictable changes of nature’s fluctuations are directly arranged before his eyes moving him deeply. The Yadan landform undergoes a life cycle of its own including birth, childhood, maturity, old age, sickness and death. This is a natural fate that, like humans, it cannot resist. He reconstructs these mysterious geographical features by adding wash upon wash of ink and, in so doing, also represents the vicissitudes of history. Under his meticulous management, we perceive an authentic and shocking visual image.
Wang Shaoqiang's creative works are a means for him to recognize the world. They are a comprehensive mediation on the relationships among individuals, their society and their times. His artistic expression proceeds under the auspices of analytical observation. Only when people today become aware of the historical changes affecting everything in the universe, and the global structure of humanity’s collective future, can they clearly recognize their individual positionality and calling. Only thusly, can one’s creative work stand out as Wang Shaoqiang’s does.
Wang Shaoqiang’s rigourous scholarly approach starts by combining, 'science, history, and aesthetics.” Using a scientific approach to humanistic geography and the universe as well as layers of philosophy, he has diligently explored, innovated and implemented. Wang incorporates universal images brimming with both ideas and spirituality into the language of traditional Chinese ink wash to build his unique, form of the, 'landscape as humanistic environment.”
