魏野曾是“圆明园画家村”的重要成员,对于魏野来说,在圆明园画家村度过的岁月无疑是自己艺术生涯中最有意义的时期。魏野将艺术创作的视角聚焦于社会问题,或通过对自然风景的再解读来表达艺术家对现代化高速进展的时代里,人类的精神缺失问题。在魏野看来,中国的纯物质文化背景对自己的影响尤为深刻,作为艺术家可以通过自己对物质的深刻认识来表现当今社会的这一特性。在这个意义上,艺术作品可以成为一种“庞大的证据”来见证这个时代,从而引发人们对这一现象的反思。 Wei Yeh was an important member of Yuanmingyuan Painter Village and for Wei Yeh, the years spent in the painter’s village at Yuanmingyuan are undoubtedly the most significant period of his artistic career. Wei Ye focuses on the artistic creation from the perspective of social issues or through the reinterpretation of the natural landscape to express the artist’s lack of human spirit in the era of rapid development of modernization. In Wei Ye’s opinion, the purely material cultural background of China is particularly influential to himself. As an artist, he can express this feature of today’s society through his profound knowledge of matter. In this sense, the work of art can become a kind of “huge evidence” to witness this era, thus provoking people’s reflection on this phenomenon.
