Xu Peijin won the design award for the special gift dedicated to Chinese sports delegation who attended the 24th Olympics in Seoul, South Korea in 1988. At that time, he didnt expect that he would step into the stage of Chinese landscape paintings from the areana of design, not to mention the outstanding achievements he gained today. Many of his artworks are characterized by Chinese Zen sense and collected by famous museums. Appreciating his artworks, you can feel his philosophy of life.
1988年,当即将从浙江美院工艺系毕业的徐佩瑾,揽获第24届汉城奥运会中国体育代表团专用礼品设计大奖时,他也许没有想过,日后会踏上一条相较设计更为自我的山水绘画之路。
中国画与其他兄弟造型艺种,存在着皮相近似而本质疏离的界限,我观佩瑾数年画作,感觉画里流露出来的智慧。他的写生稿本中,有摹大明山奇松峻柏者,行笔飞扬,满幅华彩,足见其勾陈功夫。他却自忖造姿为胜,若石涛所指:名山许游未许画,画若似之山必怪。不必急于示人,乃藏之画匧,有力而弱,有能不矜,或能废贪忘痴,直取中道。
也因之如是,当听说徐佩瑾开始选择禅境山水作为母题时,我觉得他找到了一个自适的修炼道场。 黄山谷曾云:天下清景,不择贤愚而与之,然吾特疑端为我辈设。长期世俗化的技法盘摩以及景观化的寺院游历,使得当代画人在表达禅意时,容易耽于手眼,着其实相。从这个意义上来说,画上欲得禅意,亦须通会蕴含着变通智慧的禅宗之基底。如参话头及八万四千法门之说,修行之法既因人而异,图绘之事若之。《金刚经》有云:庄严佛土者,即非庄严,是名庄严,所言众生者,即非众生,是名众生。
徐佩瑾的系列作品,如果能多看几幅,会发现他更注重虚写。如僧侣往往不事五官,纯如剪影;景物大多用破墨点染,有些挥洒到极致处,生法无定相之意,云影天光,真趣弥漫;虚空舞蹈,如乐如歌。高度概括的造型与果断留空的构成背后,是他中年历练与自省之深度积淀。品禅画的味道大概最好是此中有真意,欲辨已忘言。“入于人者至深,而行于世也尤广”,王国维此语,可以视作人文学者的每个实践节点上,有所成就与有所缺憾的基础动因。我相信佩瑾在这个题材上面,如果保持起步时的初心,还能得到持续的纯化和创见。
目佩瑾笔下人物,并非天生沙弥,凡人遁入空门,求清净求解脱求法求学者皆有之,如我辈之习绘术,均有所求而致。余谓画法之于画学,犹佛法之于佛学,法与学的门径差池,除了身份的不同,还在于法贵精专而学尚博约,故求法者有时会精进到一叶障目,不易变通;而治学者容易迷恋解释,太过圆融,则失之于宽,此处的宽,不是宽容,是宽泛。故此,我们面对不大熟悉的作者和作品,假使能暂时搁置经验性的视觉桎梏,虚其怀抱,更多依赖观看的直觉反应,静故了群动,空故纳万境,也许可以让作者隐藏于画面中的意味更多呈现。此际,有如荷尔德林的诗句中所述:一旦外表被极度隔绝,适应性便在人之中彰显。
这也是我在欣赏佩瑾作品时的一点领悟。
