마 슈칭 Ma Shuqing
1956년 톈진에서 태어난 MA Shuqing 의 그림은 색과 시간을 기반으로 독립적이고 2차원적인 시각 공간을 구성한다. 그는 1980 년대 후반 독일 뮌헨에서 유학하면서 오랫동안 추상화를 탐구하고 연구하는데 전념해 왔다. 그의 작품은 그림을 그리는 과정속에 작가의 개성과 영성을 불어넣는다. 여러 겹의 색을 층층이 올리는 반복적인 과정을 통해 결국 강렬하고 응축된 모노크롬의 단색으로 최종 마무리된다. 작가의 관점에서 볼 때 이 기법은 회화를 직관적으로 눈에 영향을 주는 시각 예술로 보존하면서 동시에 회화의 불확실성을 남긴다. 이러한 불확실성은 회화의 기법을 넘어 끊임없이 탐구하는 작가들의 주된 성찰요소다.
Born in 1956 in Tianjin, MA Shuqing’s paintings constructed an independent and two-dimensional visual space based on color and time. Since his overseas study in late 1980s in Munich, Germany, he has long dedicated himself to exploring and researching on abstract painting. His paintings restore individuality and spirituality permeating in the process of painting, presenting solely minimalistic color as well as a space of visual sensibility. In terms of rendering the pictorial plane, he disguises the repeatedly intricate procedure of smearing the paint and rich color representation in the basis layers, whereas on the top layer showcases monochrome and refreshingly condensed color. From the artist’s perspective, the technique has preserved painting as visual art which intuitively brings sensory influence to one’s eyes, while it also retains a sense of uncertainty in painting. Such uncertainty has been the main element concerning the artists’ constant reflection on exploring beyond paintings and painting techniques.
