薛松 Xue Song ( b.1965 )

1965年出生于中国安徽砀山，1988年毕业于上海戏剧学院，此后一直生活和工作在上海。薛松被誉为中国波普艺术（Pop Art）最重要的艺术家之一，也是「新海派」艺术家代表人物，擅长将东方与西方、历史记忆与当下现实、传统文化与现代观点连接起来。

薛松最初的艺术实验始于1980年代。当时中国正值改革开放，现代艺术运动如火如荼，波普艺术等挑战传统美学的思想启发了不少中国艺术家。受罗伯特‧劳森伯格（Robert Rauschenberg，1925-2008）的早期拼贴作品影响，他在毕业那年开始尝试拼贴画，早期作品主要呈现抽象和表现主义。

1991年在画室的一场火灾意外成为了他创作生涯转变的契机。从此，「燃烧」和「拼贴」成为薛松独一无二的艺术手法。薛松的作品，是以火焰和灰烬为媒介，通过拼贴手段，把形形色色的印刷品残片组合成全新的形象世界，并广泛涉猎社会、政治、传统、人文、时尚、审美等不同议题。微观与宏观的矛盾，造型与内容的冲突，在他的画面上不断地制造出疏离和变异的戏剧化效果。他的绘画，是对绘画本体的解构和再造。

踏入21世纪，薛松的创作逐渐回归抽象性，呈现出在理智与情感、哲思与诗意、几何化与书写式抽象等语境上的丰富表达。

Born in Dangshan, Anhui, China in 1965, graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy in 1988 and has been living and working in Shanghai since then. One of the key artists of the Chinese Pop Art movement, Xue Song's work is also representative of the "New Shanghai School". His art traverses East and West, historical memory and reality, as well as traditional culture and contemporary viewpoints.

Xue Song's initial artistic experiments began in the 1980s, a time when China was rapidly transforming and opening up to the world, and the modernisation of its art world was in full swing. Ideas that challenged traditional aesthetics, such as Pop Art, inspired many Chinese artists. Influenced by the early collage works of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008), Xue Song began to experiment with collage in his graduation year, and his early works were predominantly executed in abstract and expressionist styles.

A studio fire accident in 1991 was the turning point for Xue Song's artistic career. Fire and collage consequently became his trademark techniques, with flames and ashes used to transform disparate printed fragments into an image that addresses wider issues such as society, politics, tradition, humanities, fashion and aesthetics. The paradox between the microscopic and the macroscopic, as well as the tension between form and content, creates a dramatic vacillation between alienation and metamorphosis in Xue Song's paintings. His works simultaneously deconstruct and reconstruct the essence of painting itself.

At the turn of the 21st century, Xue Song's creations returned to their abstract roots, but remained richly expressive in reasoning and emotion, philosophy and poetry, geometric and calligraphic abstraction.
