闭着眼睛与睁着眼睛：胡柯雕塑与张婕油画

胡柯与张婕不但在生活中走到一起，而且在艺术上也形成一种连理关系：关注个体生命的焦虑，并且变现对象均为女性。既然是连理，就是一个共同体中的不同个性，他们两个的不同之处，除了雕塑与油画之别，还有人物的闭眼与睁眼之别：胡柯作品中的女性一律闭着眼睛，张婕作品中的女性一律睁着眼睛。那么睁着眼睛的与闭着眼睛的有什么区别意义呢？

我们都知道眼睛是心灵的窗子，既然如此，打开与关闭就有重大的区别了，不论是在生活中，还是在艺术作品中。由于艺术作品中的眼睛是由艺术家决定的，于是就成了我们解读艺术作品的线索。张婕作品中睁着的眼睛，是一种自我流露，是女人讲自己的故事；胡柯作品中的闭着的眼睛，是男人对女人的观察，是男人讲女人的故事。这种艺术创作的不同所对应的社会现象，一是女人更愿意谈论自己，男人更愿意谈论社会，就这一点而论，可以说家是女人的国，国是男人的家；二是女人喜欢观看自己，男人喜欢观看女人，所以，随身携带镜子的是女人而不是男人。当然，这种区别是统计学意义上的，而不是真理意义上的。

不论女人讲自己的故事还是男人讲女人的故事都有喜怒哀乐之别，但胡柯和张婕都把注意力放在了“女人悲”上，现代的说法叫压抑或者焦虑。区别在于，张婕的作品更多的是女性生命焦虑的感性表达，尽管也有理性符号；胡柯的作品则基本上是对女性生命焦虑的理性思考，尽管源于感性世界。张婕的作品体现的是自己内心世界与外部规范的冲突，这应当源于社会对女性的制约大于男性。胡柯的作品表现的是“欲”与“禁”在女性自身的矛盾。

最后我想说的是，两位川美出身的艺术家，分别延续的“罗中立线索”与“何多苓线索”。这两条线索都贴近人生，前者偏重对人生的理性思考，胡柯基本上属于这条线索；后者偏重对人生的感性表达，张婕基本上属于这条线索。

Eyes Closed & Eyes Open: Hu Ke’s Sculptures and Zhang Jie’s Painting

Hu Ke and Zhang Jie are not only live together as a couple, and their works related as well as a couple: the works all concerning about the anxiety of the individual life, and the realization of the object are women. As a couple, they are also a person-in-community. The differences between their works, in additionally to sculpture and oil painting, the characteristics is eyes closed and eyes open: Hu Ke’s works of women all with eyes closed, and Zhang Jie’s works of women all with eyes open. What is the meaning of the different with eyes closed and eyes open?

As we know that the eyes are the soul of the heart. That there was a significant difference between closed and open whether in our life or in the art works. As the eyes in the art works is determined by the artists, that it became the guide to led us to explants the works. Open eyes in Zhang Jie’s works is a self-revealing, a woman telling their own story; Closed eyes in Hu Ke’s works is a observation of men to women, a men telling story of woman. The corresponding to the difference of art works -
Women are more willing to talk about themselves, and men are more willing to talk about public topics. On this point it is concerned – home is a women’s world, the world is men’s home. The second point is women love to watch themselves, men love to watch women. So, more women carry a mirror than men on the statistically rather than the truth.

Whether women telling their own story, or men tell the story of a woman, they have different emotions. Hu Ke and Zhang Jie all focus on the sad woman, or in the modern way is called depression or anxiety. The different is: Zhang Jie is a more emotional expression with rational symbols; Hu Ke is a rational thinking of women’s life, while from sensible filling. Zhang Jie’s works is reflected in their inner world and external norms conflict - this derived from the social constraints on women than men; Hu Ke works shows that desires and contradictions on women its own.

Finally, I’d like to say, the both of artists from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, were continued “Luo Zhong Li” and “He Duo Ling” styles. The two leads are close to human life. Hu Ke is more likes Luo Zhong Li’s style - Rational to life; And Zhang Jie is more likes He Duo Ling’s style - Emotional expression in painting.
