"乡愁是一枚小小的邮票,我在这头,母亲在那头。"对家乡农村生活的记忆是张鹏作品的关注点,他的兴趣点在乡土里亲密、淳朴的归属感,这主题大部分与乡野、农田和自然相关联。回忆过去,他尝试抓住过去那些曾经的瞬间,是他出生和成长的南方乡愁。张鹏的作品以反映这种风土色调为特征。在制作过程中,他把工作场所设定在田地里,弯腰跪地体验面朝黄土背朝天的农业传统,在人和牲畜合作与互动中完成作品。他的作品材料源于大地和自然,技术源于农耕生活,并从本质上反映中国农村和农业的、农民与土地以及自然的关系。如今,越来越多的人缺乏农村生活知识和经验。乡土情感和认知上的疏离,使人与社会的交往少了那人情和温度。张鹏试图通过创作来重现个人成长轨迹的碎片,唤醒我们心中那作为中国人的集体无意识,从而引起人们对农村生活的关注和重新思考。终冬复历春,近乡情更怯。
He holds a double master's degree in fine arts from the China Academy of Art and the Academy of Arts in St. Justin in the Netherlands, and is a resident artist at the Royal Netherlands Art Program.
“Memories about rural life in my village are the focal point of my work”. Peng Zhang is interested in themes such as closeness and togetherness, as well as simplicity and slowness which are mostly related to farmland and nature in his village. He dives into his past and attempts to capture moments that he has experienced from a young age. The images refer to his memories from the village, Shijian Cun, where he grew up as a child in the countryside of South China. Peng’s work is characterized by earthly tones which reflect this landscape. During the making process, he brings his base to the land and works as a farmer by bending over or kneeling on the land or collaborating with other people and livestock as ways of producing. His materials stem from the land and nature and my techniques originate from rural life which in essence could be seen as mirroring a farmer’s relationship to their land and nature. With Peng’s work, he not only gives a glimpse into his personal background, but also turn the focus towards the present moment where a lack of knowledge and experience about rural life is increasing and to evoke people’s interest in rural reality.
