混沌世界初启,自然万物相生,老子说:“人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然”,被尊称为“自然科学之父”的老子,以道家的自然秩序观构建了东方哲学观,古典时代的亚里士多德哲学家亦研究和分析了自然世界的多样性,东西方文明互鉴达成了思想共识。以此为溯源,西晋的张华,古罗马的老普林尼的博物学也即自然学包罗万象,融括了丰富的人类与自然孪生的真知镜像。逐渐现代艺术表象为显,科学理念为隐,改变了人们的自然观乃至世界观。
艺术家朱雨泽与陈欣都有留德背景,西学东启。同样深受中国传统文化智慧的浸染,研习现代抽象的精髓,以东方哲学观为文脉,作为优秀的成熟艺术家,他们早已深刻认识到,只有建构真正独具风格的个人体系,形成不可被代替的学术观点及艺术脉络才是艺术的终极目标,才能回归艺术的自然本真。在艺术创作的实验与探索中,他们融以科学、自然学、历史学、人文学等知识体系,探求当代山水在绘画中的自然主义的科学性研究方法,以艺术显学科学隐论相结合,最终以鲜明的视觉图式显现了知识型艺术家的高度自我修养。

陈欣融通东西方艺术语境,作为以抽象表现形式呈现的艺术家,1999年投身艺术至今,长期关注现代人的精神和欲望状态,有着超前的艺术观念和视觉经验,结合科技与新媒体,不断突破材质的限制,以一种精微至广大雅致的文人气韵,形成了独特的“空山”与“气格”美学意境,携古游今;以当代抽象波普的手法,创建了他的“欣山水”。他的山水笔触鲜明,层叠交错,色彩丰富,注重图式的构成与气韵灵动,营造了东方文化的怀袖风雅,重构一个与自然的对话,和精神传统的回归。
由此,于世界万物之中,艺术超越主客观,唤醒宇宙间自然山水的本体意识,达到一种艺术本真的理想境界,终是博物志之真谛也。

Natural History——Interpretation of Landscape by Zhu Yuze and Chen Xin
At the beginning of the chaotic world, all things in nature are coexisting born. Lao Tzu said: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." Lao Tzu, who is honored as "the father of natural science", constructed the Eastern philosophy using the Taoist view of natural order. Aristotelian philosophers in the classical age also studied and analyzed the diversity of the natural world. So, the mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations reached an ideological consensus. Tracing the source, the natural history of Zhang Hua in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Pliny the Elder in ancient Rome, is also natural science that is all-encompassing, incorporating the true image mirroring the twins of human beings and nature. Gradually, the appearance of modern art becomes apparent, and scientific concepts become hidden, which changes people"s view of nature and even the view of the world.
Artists Zhu Yuze and Chen Xin both had a living experience in Germany, traveling to the West and being enlightened in the East. They are both deeply influenced by the wisdom of traditional Chinese culture, studying the essence of modern abstraction, and taking oriental philosophy as the context. As outstanding and mature artists, they have long realized the ultimate goal of art, that only by constructing a truly unique personal system, forming the irreplaceable academic viewpoints and artistic context. Only then can it return to the true nature of art. In the experimentation and exploration of artistic creation, they integrated science, naturalology, history, Human literature, and other knowledge systems to explore the scientific research methods of naturalism in contemporary landscape painting, combining art as prominent theory and science as implicit theory, In the end, the high level of self-cultivation of knowledge-based artists is shown via a distinctive visual schema.
朱雨泽,庚子-1,69x69cm,宣纸 岩彩,2020
Zhu Yuze has brought forward the unique scientific concept of "New Naturalism" fractal aesthetics in contemporary ink painting in his artistic journey over 40 years. He has keenly discovered that, the theory of "Fractal Geometry" and fractal laws from the field of mathematics are in line with China"s Lao Tzu"s way of nature. Hence, he has carried out theoretical analysis and artistic creation practice for more than 30 years. With the super high state of neo-naturalism, he returns to the authenticism. He takes real mountains and rivers as the cornerstone and is proud of the spirit of new ink painting. He even uses a technique of "the law of no law". With the most essential and simple energy from the heart, he strengthens the halo that is blended with color and ink. and creates a vivid, majestic, and dynamic ink painting artistic conception. In the contemporary context, it transcends subjectivity and objectivity, which has created and presented his "Second Nature" theory by combining nature and human, wandering in the emptiness, enjoying freedom, and precepting the world. This is the spiritual universe of seclusion by a profound scholar.
陈欣,枕空山 No.34,布面油画100x150cm,2013
Chen Xin integrates the artistic context of the East and the West. As an artist presenting in the form of abstract expression, Chen Xin has devoted himself to art since 1999. He has long been focusing on the spirit and desire state of modern people. He also has advanced artistic concepts and visual experience. By combining Technology and New Media, and breaking through the limitation of materials, he has formed a unique "empty mountain" and "air style" aesthetic conception with a subtle to broad and elegant literati charm, which has brought the past travelling to the present; with the contemporary Abstract Pop technique, he has created his "Xin landscape". His landscape brushstrokes are distinct, layered and interlaced, rich in color, focusing on the structure of the schema and vigor of the temperament. Thus, he creates the elegance of oriental culture, and reconstructs a dialogue with nature and a return to spiritual tradition. Therefore, among all things in the world, art transcends subjectivity and objectivity, awakens the ontological awareness of the natural landscape in the universe, and achieves an ideal state of authentic art, which is the true meaning of natural history.
