Interpretation ni Zhang Fang-cun’s BZ Art

Volai mai vei Wasa Duan-tingi (dauveivakacauotaki kilai levu ni cakacakaniliga)

Vosa mai na dua na kena ibalebale, eda na rawa ni vakadewataka, na itukutuku ni cakacaka ni liga ni ra kei na gauna oqo sai koya na veika e sega ni dau vakasaqara na kena ivakarau ni droini ka vakadikeva vakatitobu na ibalebale ni veika kece e vuravura. Ni sa tekivu na vakasama, na cakacaka ni liga sa kuretaka laivi na ivesu vakalotu kei na politiki ka lako yani ki na veidusimaki vakataki koya kei na vakaiyau. E kena ibalebale dina, "What is to be painted" is not important, but "How to paint it" is the key point. Oti oya, various sects and formalisms come forth in droves such as the impressionism,Fauvism,cubism, futurism, and abstractionism. With the impetus pushed by these sects, the subject meaning is completely dispelled, and the representational factors are thoroughly deprived. In the works of abstractionism, the art becomes a self-contained world entirely separated from the objective world.

Guillaume Apollinaire, a French modern poet, invented the conception of "Pure Art /Peinture Pure” in 1913, and indicated common character of the abovementioned sects in arts. He advocated,, painting shall be as pure as plants, without the literary and practical content.

 In fact, not but that formalism art discarded representation and emphasized independent value of the formative language such as "Point/Line/Surface", "Count is the terminator of all abstract " said by Vassily Kandinsky, father of the abstract art; this is the essence of the life and cosmos. It is to say, the formalism sustains the dual missions— regress to the art essence, and reveal the world essence. It shall also say, purity of the formalism art is to be clear at a glance, but conceptualism which is opposite to formalism should become allies of the artistic purity that is unthinkable. Conceptualism treated unformed product, device and behavior as an art is based upon such an idea. The conception itself shall be an art inasmuch as the art is originated from human thought. As far as the absolute conceptualism is concerned, art is an invisible and unforeseeable thought in our brain; either formalism or conceptualism, exploring the essence of internal world (inclusive of art) is the common direct and final destination of various sects of modern art.

Alberto Giacometti, art master of surrealism, has ever said, "Reality seems hiding behind the thin curtains; as you unveil a layer, it comes out another… layer by layer,, the reality still hides behind the curtain for good; nevertheless, for this sake, I have unceasingly moved on… it seems I can grasp the core of life at the last moment." This passage is not only to interpret the sculpture figures looked like match rods but also to finalize the developing journey of entire Western’s modern art.

Zhang’s artistic road is not queer, just like most Chinese artists in our times. He accepted the basic training on realism’s paintings at academy, and took the Western modernism art as his pursuing direction when starting his independent art creation. His first matured works are a series of abstract paintings in Jackson Pollock style. Sizes of these works are comparatively larger; one of them is named as "The Apocalypse", the size of which is 312 x 3680 mm, or you may call it as a grand masterpiece. Ena 2006, he carried these works to hold an individual exhibition at the national museum, and in 2008, held a traveling exhibit in Germany, France, and Austria. Although these abstract paintings have won a certain reputation for him, the subject that makes him being concerned by academic community is the BZ Art he invented and the creative achievements thereof.

 Zhang Fang-cun is an artist full of passion onto sciences. Me tekivu sara mai na 1997, he had already found the theory of "BZ Reaction" and conceived the thought to apply this chemical axiom onto artistic creation. What so-called the "BZ Reaction" was mutually found by two Russian scientists, Belousov kei Zha kei Zha kei, ena 1959, and named after their initials respectively as "B" kei na "Z"; mai na veivakatovolei ni vakadidike, era a kunea, me vaka na iwali ni isogosogo (cizerzer) ena loma ni metali oya sa bulumakau buluta ena potassium pesium, e vaka me sokota tiko na vodo basikeli e veigauna ena kedrau maliwa e rua na roka ni tacina vakakina na dromodromo dromodromo, me vaka ga na lailai ni wai ka dreti tu e dela ni wai. Me baleta na Sikiri ni BZ ena cakava tiko na veisau ni roka, an idea comes into Zhang Fang-cun’ mind to use such painting colors in his artistic creation. Through a long-term fumbling and test, he finally grasped the technique to apply "BZ Reaction" onto his art creation. Ena 2015, the "BZ Art" he invented obtained the patent certificate issued by National Intellectual Property Right Bureau of the People’s Republic of China.

Na sucu ni BZ Art e kena ibalebale, Na cakacaka ni liga na ivurevure ni cakacaka ni liga e raka ni rawa me ra sereki mai na veika vakayauyau ki na qarai vakayago; oqo na iwalewale dodonu ni vakatorocaketaki ni cakacakaniliga ni gauna oqo mai na cakacakaniliga vakaivola ka kakua ni vakalailaitaki na kena vinakati, se dua na gauna bibi vua e dua na tamata me qai sagai tale me vakadikeva tale na inaki ni cakacaka ni liga.

We all know, through more than centurial researches on modern art, all formative issues have been resolved. As for abstract art, all colors are being consumed, as well as all geometries (square, rectangle, triangle, rhombus, trapezium, and circle), even all colors (from black, white, and grey to RGB and from spectrum to various tertiary colors) have been painted into monochromatic painting. For it becomes so difficult to innovate, the abstract painting thereafter turns into the similar ornament with empty implication, therefore, Walter Robinson, the US art critic, names these works as the "Zombie Formalism".

Upon minimalism, materials and physical properties have come a new exploring domain for further development. In fact, in the early of 1970s, an art sect of conceptualism named as Support-Surface was established in France; the said sect basic upon the anti-painting motive displayed the painting material such as the frame, canvas, and rope at the museum to decompose the painting elements and the conception of "Painting object is the painting itself"（L'object de la peinture est la peinture elle-même）.

E tu'e vakayauyau na iyaragi ni iyaloyaloiyaloyalo (vira) from formative function and separates molding image from drawing "Point, iYatu, and Surface"; na kena ituvaki vakayago kei na kemikale e sa tarai keda tiko na veika vuni, matalia, and magnificence of the color itself. This is the unique and unprecedent art creation.

Zhang’s creation reminds me of a famous case in regard to the color invention in Western Modernism history; Yves Klein, the French neo-realism artist, synthesized an peculiar celestite blue under the assistance of a chemist named as Edouard Adam in 1956, and in 1960, he applied for this color named as "International Klein Blu"(IKB for short), so as to get a patent for invention. He used this blue color to create a great deal of monochromes which was not only one of Klein’s iconic works, but also the representative work of the minimalism paintings. Comparing IKB with Zhang’s BZ Art, we may find, Klein’s blue is still a formative medium. In Klein’s eyes, blue represents the sky, water, and air; he even endows the blue color with a spiritual moral whileZhang’s BZ Art is purer — color is the color itself, comprising all contents of the work. In other words, color in the works of BZ Art is either the formation and content or the language and subject.

Ko e Isanei na BZ Art e dua na cakacaka vata vakaveicaki kei na ivakarau ni bula. Na roka totoka ena nona cakacaka era sa vu mai na rua na iwasewase; e dua e lako mai ena nona digidigi na daudroini ki na iwiliwili ni veika vakayago, kei na dua tale mai na nona kaukauwa na Kalou. Kevaka e ivakatakila me vakayagataki ena loma ni Uto ni Vuravura na droini e vakayagataki tiko., oti sa, na BZ Art ena dua na itagede me na vakaraitaka vakaikoya ga na ka e loma. E sega ni vakaiyalayala na bula vakaitamera; me vaka na idusidusi kei na icavacava ni vuravura vakavesu, e kauwaitaki na veika vuni kei na veika vuni, Na BZ Art e sega ni levu cake mai na dua na itosotoso., ia sa itekitekivu ni dua na vunilagi tawayalani. We convince that Zhang Fang-cun in the exploration of BZ Art can obtain more and more abundant achievement.
