站立的綠狗 Standing Green Dog 簽名右下：1998 周春芽 Zhou Chunya Signed lower right Zhou Chunya in Chinese and English and dated 1998 「狗在畫家的生活中是潛在的需要，這樣與人相比看來似乎無意識的生命成為逐漸減少自然性的都市環境中人的一種渴望。事實上，只有一種通情理的、具有依附性的生命也許可以讓人感受到慰藉，使你在枯燥和空乏的社會環境裡沾染一點自然與淳樸的氣息。」呂澎〈綠狗敘事〉周春芽的「石頭」、「花卉」和「桃花」系列都受到文人畫的影嚮，他以猩紅色的山石以及綠色的狗呈現反自然主義的色彩運用，為周春芽系列作品中的一個永恆經典的主題。「綠狗」系列則是周春芽最負盛名的代表作之一，被形容為「畫布上的雕塑」，亦來自於他的生活體現。「綠狗」的創作來自他飼養的一隻純種德國狼狗「黑根」，他與黑根的感情很好，1997年起他以黑根作為創作題材，捕捉牠的舉止和神韻。一開始的時候周春芽是用黑色的，但有次他眸然用上鮮艷的綠色。想不到瞬間的一個念頭，最終會轉化為他獨特的標誌。周春芽重複畫一隻狗，無形中賦予牠多重的象徵意義。此副《站立的綠狗》為周春芽1998年之作，屬較早期「綠狗」系列，簡潔的形態但擁有像雕塑一樣的質感，狗的形像進退流暢，一氣呵成，筆觸結構上又精粹了文人花鳥畫的形象特徵。鮮亮、靜謐的綠色充滿了隱匿之意，「綠狗」作品是周春芽藝術作品中的一個符號，一種象徵，一種模糊、曖昧的氛圍。中國繪畫系統中的留白技法與之相結合，創造了獨特的視覺效果以外更讓畫面清新自然，愈加貼近創作者當時的心情。雖然狗的姿態造型為藝術家腦海中想像出來的，狗的四隻被簡化成樹樁一樣，綠色的筆觸非常薄，在留白的背景上，伶俜地站立著或行走著。筆觸中似乎隱含著巨大的力量，漣漪的層次色彩中也有一種極不穩定的因素，彷彿既不知其所在，也不知其所終。牠若有似無地回頭望著前方如不確定的延伸，暗示了當代社會下人的孤獨以及危機感。寧靜抒情的綠色卻呈現了藝術家在於一種不安定精神的表徵，完全體現了德國表現主義對於周春芽的影響。《站立的綠狗》在視覺上都有著引人注目的視覺效果。主體在曠茫的空間中漂泊著的——狗，以綠色的身影、飽滿的質感充滿著咄咄欲出的爆發力。周春芽也因此創造了一種獨特的個人符號，反映了他1990年代後期以來藝術生存的狀態。色彩與構圖均給人神秘之感，這種新穎、大膽的藝術創作達到了奇異的效果。在周春芽看來，這種「離經叛道」的作品形態正好契合了他的藝術天性，為早期「綠狗」系列的經典之作。「綠狗是一個符號，一種象徵，綠色是寧靜的、浪漫的、抒情的，包含了爆發前的寧靜的意境。」— 周春芽 “Dogs are potential necessities for paint artists. The relatively soulless life compare to humans is a desire in an unnatural built urban. In fact, all life forms with feelings and dependencies could comfort you from your daily boredom by their natural and simple characteristic”. The Green Dog Story - Lu Peng. Zhou Chunya’s Stones, Flowers and Peach Blossoms series are influenced by literati art. He uses scarlet red mountain and rocks and green dog to demonstrate the color use of anti-naturalism. This is one of the eternal classics among Zhou’s art series. The Green Dog serie, one of the most famous and iconic works of Zhou, is described as “sculptures on canvas” and a representation of Zhou’s life experience. The idea of Green Dog comes from Zhou’s German shepherd, Heigen. Zhou and Heigen had a really good friendship. Zhou started capturing Heigens actions and expressions as inspiration. Initially Zhou used the color black to portrait the dog until one day the color green came to his mind. No one would expect an idea came out of nowhere would ultimately become his signature. Zhou portraits the same dog repetitively and unconsciously infused multiple meanings in his works. “Green dog is a symbol, an icon. Green means peaceful, romantic, lyrical, including the peace before a storm”. - Zhou Chunya. The Standing Green Dog was created in 1998, and is one of the earlier paintings of Green Dog serie. The clear, simple appearance shows a texture of a statue. The image of the dog is smooth and well ordered, as you can see the literati element on the brush strokes. The bright and calm green color fulfills the frame with the characteristic of a hermit. The Green Dog is a symbol among Zhou’s artworks, an emblem, a blurry, fuzzy atmosphere. We can also see the blank technique of Chinese painting style that not only created an unique visual effect but also a more natural picture, and represents the mood of the artist at the moment more precisely. The design of the dog is pure imagination of the artist, like the simplified limbs of the dog which look like tree trunks. The green brush stroke is very light, and the dog is standing or walking in front of a plain white background. The brush strokes look like there is a potential strong force in them, the layers of colors seem unstable, erratic and unpredictable. The dog carelessly turns his head around and look at distance with concern in his sight, which represents the loneliness and crisis awareness of modern people. The peaceful and lyrical green color represents the cautiousness of the artist at the moment. That is an example of how German expressionism influences Zhou’s work. The Standing Green Dog is very eye-catching with its visual presentation. The main object, the dog, is floating in a plain white background. The green, pumped-up body is filled with explosiveness. Zhou created this exclusive symbol to represent his artistic survival status since late 90s. The colors and compositions are mysterious. The novel, bold art creation brings an amazing effect. In Zhou’s point of view, this “rebellious” style fits his art talent perfectly, and has become one of the classics of the Green Dog serie.
