文人畫一定要表現清高，描畫山水和花鳥來寄情抒懷嗎？朱新建以傳統水墨碰撞西方表現主義，讓女性情慾、生活景致與世俗日常走進筆墨畫之中，打破人們對傳統水墨的既定想像，也展示了「新文人畫」一種更自由的當代氣息。

Must literati painting always embody lofty refinement, depicting landscapes, flowers and birds for personal feelings? Zhu Xinjian, on the contrary, collides traditional ink painting with Western expressionism, allowing female desire, life scenes, and daily life to enter the language of ink and brush, breaking people’s preconceived imagination about traditional ink painting and showing a freer contemporary ideology to “new literati painting”.

推介原因 WHY IT MATTERS

Lucie Chang Fine Arts 宣布，將於 6 月 13 日至 8 月 10 日舉辦當代藝術家朱新建 （1953-2014） 的個展「世俗的靈光」，讓觀眾觀賞這位中國「新文人畫」領軍人物如何在國際視野下完成對傳統中國畫美學的顛覆性重構。朱新建既根植傳統，又直面人性與時代變化，他的作品映射改革開放後個體意識的覺醒，也為全球化對話下本土美學如何走出「傳統—現代」的二元框架提供了重要的靈感。

Lucie Chang Fine Arts announce the solo exhibition Profane Illumination by contemporary artist Zhu Xinjian (1953–2014), on view from 13 June to 10 August. The exhibition gives audiences a chance to see how this leading figure of China’s New Literati Painting movement reworked traditional Chinese painting through an international perspective. Deeply rooted in tradition while also responding to human nature and the changes of era, Zhu’s work reflects the rise of individual awareness after China’s Reform and Opening Up. It also offers an important example of how local art traditions can move beyond the choice between “tradition” and “modernity” under globalization.

重點一覽 HIGHLIGHTS

1️⃣ 筆墨交鋒：當中國水墨遇上西方表現主義 INK IN DIALOGUE: CHINESE BRUSHWORK MEETS WESTERN EXPRESSIONISM

朱新建以中國傳統水墨為媒介，保留筆墨的「書寫性」，同時以自由而奔放的線條呼應西方表現主義。但他的作品並非單純模仿西方藝術，而是在中外兩種不同的藝術之間，找出屬於自己的藝術表達。

Zhu Xinjian used traditional Chinese brushwork as medium, keeping its expressive while using free and rugged lines to echo Western Expressionism. Rather than simply copying Western art, he developed his own visual language

2️⃣ 慾望入畫：打破文人畫的清高想像 DESIRE OF THE PICTURE: CHALLENGING THE LITERATI IDEAL

朱新建將市井氣息與情色隱喻帶進水墨畫之中，打破人們對文人畫「清高」與「雅致」的既定想像。在他的作品裡，慾望與日常生活不再被排除於水墨畫藝術之外，而成為他描寫真實人性的一部分。

Zhu Xinjian brought street life and erotic metaphors into ink painting, challenging the traditional image of literati art as refined and aloof. In his works, desire and daily life are no longer excluded from the art of ink but become part of his depiction of real human nature.

3️⃣ 根植傳統，卻不被傳統束縛 ROOTED IN TRADITION, FREE FROM ITS RULES

朱新建以傳統中國畫為基礎，並以自己的方法重新闡述它。他摒棄傳統題材中的既定框架和沉重的歷史規範，以率真而幽默的方式描繪人物與生活，使傳統筆墨成為表達當代情感的語言。

Zhu Xinjian took traditional Chinese painting as his foundation and reinterpreted it in his own way. He drew beyond fixed subjects and historical conventions, using an honest and humorous way to portray people and everyday life. Through this, traditional brush and ink became a language for expressing contemporary emotions.

4️⃣ 改革開放後：個體意識的覺醒 AFTER REFORM: THE RISE OF INDIVIDUAL VOICE

朱新建的創作映射改革開放後個體意識的覺醒。相比傳統繪畫對理想人格與文人精神的追求，他更直接地刻畫個人的情感與現實生活。

Zhu Xinjian’s work reflects the rise of individual awareness after China’s Reform and Opening Up. Unlike traditional works, which often focused on ideal character and literati values, he addressed human emotions and real life more directly.
