前言
展覽以“引力”作為主題，并非是物理學中所代指的那一種支配天體運動的唯一的力，而是藝術家的作品猶如物理學中天體各自重力所形成的對于其周邊時空的扭曲，藝術家作品中所潛藏的深層次的個體記憶的追思，形成了一個關乎藝術家自我的宇宙系統(tǒng)。而其中每一個記憶節(jié)點便是記憶宇宙中的一個天體，懸置于記憶的宇宙之中。
藝術家將自己的作品分為“命運”、“時間的消釋”、“蹤跡”三個從材料和主題上來說都看似各不相同的創(chuàng)作系列，在每一幅作品中每一個記憶的節(jié)點均擁有著它內(nèi)在的情感屬性。這些代表著或許痛苦、或許憂傷、或許渴求等，不同的情感力量，也就形成了各自情感的重力。可是記憶與記憶之間并非是相互拉扯的關系，而是由各種情緒力量所絆，交互后所形成的時空扭曲。每一個記憶節(jié)點所占據(jù)的質(zhì)量的不同，它與其它記憶間的相互作用也就不同。在這樣的時空關系里不斷地相互吞噬、再造。并在個體的記憶的時空結(jié)構框架下一直演變，讓記憶不斷的炸裂重組形成一個個真實的虛假世界（記憶星體）。而作品中唯一真實的，我們所能夠感受到的引力則是“孤寂”。
“命運”系列的素描作品中表現(xiàn)出了藝術家浸入了自己不堪回首的過去之中，藝術家通過黑白灰的素描關系，在素描作品中展現(xiàn)出如同太陽般毒辣的灼燒之感的記憶碎片。早年的記憶無時無刻都在深深的刺痛著藝術家自己。而作為觀眾我所看到的卻也是自己曾經(jīng)無助的過往，在精神與視覺雙重疊加的觀感下，每一個相似的情感爆發(fā)都如同宇宙爆炸一般。
而在“時間的消釋”這一系列油畫作品中，我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)藝術家對于過去陰霾開始有所釋懷。不斷的渴求得到他者的擁抱與關愛，努力的去掙脫孤獨的枷鎖。而“擁抱”這樣微不足道的渴求在藝術家記憶里都是奢求，在虛幻的畫面中每一個擁抱均是藝術家在個體命運長河中微不足道的一聲呼喊。但是正因為這樣微不足道的向往，促使藝術家能夠一步一步的走下去，不斷努力地尋求自己夢中所渴求的幸福，讓自己屹立于這個世界之上。
“蹤跡”系列中，藝術家使用桑葚汁作為創(chuàng)作顏料，配合鋼筆墨色的線條相互搭配，讓人感受到氤氳之感，使人為之動容。每一幅作品中所展現(xiàn)出的糾纏不清的畫面關系，猶如作者對于記憶的不斷檢索，和面對現(xiàn)實那一種雜亂無助的精神體驗。
在這三種不同類型、不同主題的作品中，“記憶”承載了藝術家面對自己面對創(chuàng)作時的一整套的思緒，而“孤寂”便是藝術家在個體的記憶宇宙中最主要的情感。在無從獲悉美好的記憶時，孤寂或許已經(jīng)成為了美好的本身。但是宇宙是殘酷的，不斷的侵蝕、不斷的演變是宇宙永恒的話題。在藝術家紛繁的一生中，孤寂最終只會成為最微不足道的引力，被其他代表著幸福的記憶天體所牽引、所改變。

"The Gravity Of Souls", the subject of the exhibition, is not the force that governs the motions of heavenly bodies, as in physics. The reflection of the deep individual memory hidden in the artist’s works forms a cosmic system that concerns the artist himself. And each memory node is a celestial body in the memory universe, suspended in the memory universe.
The artist divides his works into three series, which are seemingly different from each other in terms of materials and themes, namely "Destiny", "The melting of time" and "Trace". In each work, each memory node has its inherent emotional attribute. These represent perhaps pain, perhaps sadness, perhaps desire, etc., different emotional forces, also form their own emotional gravity. However, the relationship between memory and memory is not a mutual pull, but a space-time distortion formed after interaction caused by various emotional forces. Each memory node occupies a different mass and interacts differently with other memories. In such space-time relations, they are constantly devouring and recreating each other. And it has been evolving under the space-time structure framework of individual memory, so that memory is constantly broken and recombined to form a real false world (memory star).The only real attraction we can feel in the work is loneliness.
The "Destiny" series of sketch works show the artist immersed in his own unbearable past, through the relationship of black, white and gray sketch, the artist shows the memory fragments of the burning feeling like the sun in the sketch works. All the time, the memories of the early years deeply hurt the artist himself. As an audience, what I saw was also my helpless past. Under the double superposition of spirit and vision, each similar emotional outburst was like a cosmic explosion.
In the series of oil paintings titled "The melting of time", it is not difficult to find that the artist is beginning to get over the past haze. Constantly longing for the embrace and love of others, trying to break the shackles of loneliness. In the artist’s memory, such trivial desire for "hug" is a luxury. In the illusory picture, every hug is an insignificant cry of the artist in the river of individual destiny. However, it is precisely because of such a trivial yearning that the artist can go on step by step, constantly striving to seek the happiness he desires in his dream, so that he can stand above the world.
In the "Trace" series, artists use mulberry juice as the paint and match the ink lines with each other, making people feel dense and moving. The tangled picture relationship in each work is like the author’s constant retrieval of memory and a messy and helpless spiritual experience of facing the reality.
In these three different types of works with different themes, "memory" carries a whole set of thoughts of artists when they face their own creation, and "loneliness" is the most important emotion of artists in the individual memory universe. When cannot find a good memory, loneliness may have become a good thing. But the universe is cruel, constant erosion, constant evolution is the eternal topic of the universe. In the complicated life of an artist, loneliness will eventually become the most insignificant gravity, pulled and changed by other celestial bodies that represent happiness.
