茫·惑

 这是一个充满未知的世界，令人茫然摸不着边际，从哪里来到哪里去？

 这是一个充满疑问的时代，令人困惑找不到答案，现在达到未来路有几长？

 太多的茫与惑，总与我们的生活息息相关，挥之不去。

 艺术的生命在于它的风格、流派和样式的多样性与丰富性，把造型艺术的普遍规律与个人特点相结合，努力发挥自己的特长，逐步建立适合自身的造型语言。牟华军的作品色调灰暗，深沉厚重。灰蒙蒙的环境，黑沉沉的房屋，整座城市没有一抹光亮，一幢挨着一幢毫无生气，被动地挤拥着，密集并压抑；与此相对的是，杨国强的作品调子较明，平静而压抑，独处一室的人们，百无聊赖地无目标无所求地宅着，四面白壁困住了他们的欲望和追求，内心深处驻着孤独。

 人活着就是不断追求的过程，有追求而知不足，知不足而生动力。生活如一只无形的推手，推着人们向前行，有向往就有了希望。牟华军画中密集的房屋，让人透不过气，从而向往孤单独处；杨国强画中人物形单影只，让人深感孤独，从而向往密集。密集是城市的特点，但过于密集又是人无法忍受的；静处一隅人们可以放松享受，但孤独又是人性不可接受的。这种矛盾的心态，或许可传达人们的感受——茫惑。

 茫惑，茫然困惑，有一种束手无措、无能为力、失去目标的空洞感，城市的挤拥、斗室的孤独所滋生出截然不同的心态，两者互为矛盾，互为向往对方的空间。然而这种令人茫惑的现状是不以人的意志为转移的，它还将持续下去。茫惑在加深，如何化解这矛盾，达至平衡？作品传达着这个疑问。

Confused

 This is a world full of unknown, which makes people perplex and wander from the track. Where from, where to?

 This is an era full of doubt, which makes people confuse and find no answers. How long is the way to the future?

 Perplexity and confusion are always closely related to our daily life. They never went away.

 The life of art lies in the diversity and richness of its style, school and pattern. It combines the general rules of plastic arts and personal characteristics, and utilizes its artistic skills, to build up its own modeling language. The works of Huajun Mou’s are gray, dull and thick. The environment is dusky. The houses are dark. The whole city is shrouded in darkness. The buildings are next to each other lifelessly. They were passively jostled, gathered and depressed. On the other hand, the works of Guoqiang Yang’s are light, peace but depressed. The lonely people stay in the houses without any aim or request. The four walls trap their desire and pursuit. They feel lonely deeply in their hearts.
 Being alive is a lifetime process in which we are always pursuing, discovering out ignorance, and then making power to grow. Life is an invisible hand, pushing people forward. There are longing for hope. The dense houses in Mou’s paintings make people suffocate but seek for solitude. The solitary figures in Yang’s paintings make people feel lonely but yearn for denseness. Dense population is one of the characteristics of cities, but too dense make them unbearable. Living solitarily makes people relax, but loneliness is unacceptable by human nature. This contradiction conveys people’s confused feelings.

 Confusion is one powerless, helpless, and aimless feeling. The crowded city, the solitude figures cause two different states of mind. They are conflictive, but for each is the longing for the other. However, this confused situation exists independent of human consciousness. It will continue. Confusion is increasing. How can we dissolve the contradiction into the equilibrium? This is what the works transmit.
