Color and Verse 她的笔下,把诗句可视化了

August 20, 2018 2018年8月20日

Traditional Chinese images of love—wind, flowers, snow and the moon, or oaths sworn to the mountains and seas—come largely from the world created by Tang and Song dynasty poetry. And in Zhang Mengke‘s works, poetry is a source and drawing is the medium. Her pink, mist-shrouded illustrations convey a poetic simplicity.

Inspired by music, fragrance, and dreams, along with the verse, dialogue, and palace settings of historical dramas on television, Zhang “makes verse visible” with an understated, suggestive style.


风花雪月,海誓山盟,这样的景象,大抵多出现在唐诗宋词营造的世界里。而在张梦珂的笔下,诗词是源泉,笔触是媒介,粉色氤氲的画幅里,透着古朴的诗意。

从音乐、气味、梦境,古代清宫剧中的诗句、对白和建筑场景产生的灵感,融合了淡雅的色彩和意蕴,张梦珂的笔下,“把诗句可视化” 了。

For Zhang, “poetry is profound and demands careful thought and patient appreciation. But because it often uses a particular meter or diction, it relies on reason and insinuation. Drawing, on the other hand, is the most intuitively visual medium—as soon as you look at a picture, you immediately feel something. That’s what I’m able to achieve in my art.”

对她来说,“诗词,需要将它拼凑起来思考,慢慢品味,非常博大精深。但因为它可能会有固定韵律和字词,在我认为它是相对理性的、隐忍的。但画,则是人最直观的视觉感受,你在看到它的第一眼就会有一定的感受,也是我更擅长可以尽情发挥的。”
