About Deng Jianjin
Deng Jianjin’s art has a kind of intertwined personal emotion, that is a sort of blatant and cautious daydream, a type of silent scream hidden in the desire! I have been watching his art practice for nearly 30 years, from imaginary style to dreamlike style, then the dreamlike style evolved into peremptory style. Until one day, the free drift of style suddenly stopped, the query is no longer about sex, the breath is revealing moan, the morbidezza has turned into discourse. It results in the disappearance of daily view, the stare has stretched the figure of ego in neurotic gaze and has made the appreciation of beauty more tridimensional, and eventually has grown into a multi-dimensional peculiar maze.
The point is, as a senior teacher, the personal maze of Deng Jianjin also has become a unique art situation of his students, and they have wandered in it for a long time. Here, the maze means the spontaneous and even wild growth of a concept about artistic freedom, it has effectively changed and profoundly abolished the despair tradition of students copy style from their teachers, and it also has made the aesthetic education evolve into many students’ reformational construct of the teachers' personal mazes, mazes become the object and inspiration, even the platform for new artists’ development!
As an independent artist, Deng Jianjin smiling, whispering and witnessing the natural extension of his personal maze, and he effectively creates chances for the free variation of the maze in this extension, so that his followers could get self-improvement in the maze. This is the power of situation! That is to say, Deng Jianjin establishes himself as a situation for the promotion of others’ development, and lets the successors through his personal maze to create the mazes of their own. Today, these mazes together constitute a more extensive situation than Deng Jianjin’s personal art, and the situation demonstrates the era significance of art!
This is a cubic demonstration! It is situation and also maze! Or, on the contrary, it is maze and also situation!
关于邓箭今和他的展览
邓箭今的艺术具有一种个人情感的反复缠绕，一种明目张胆而又小心翼翼的白日痴梦，一种隐藏在欲望中的无声嘶鸣！我目睹他近三十年的实践，从想象的风格演变为梦幻的风格，又从梦幻的风格演变为横强的风格。直到有一天，风格的自由漂移戛然而止，质疑走出了性爱，呼吸透析着呻吟，柔美铺陈为话语。结果是，日常的观望消失了，凝视在神经质般的盯视中拉长了自我的身影，使审美陡然立体起来，并最终生长为一座多维度的奇特迷宫。
关键是，作为一个资深的教师，邓箭今的个人迷宫同时也成为跟随他的众多学生独有的艺术情境，让他们在其中长久地徘徊。在这里，迷宫的意思是，一种关于艺术自由的理念自发地、甚至不无野蛮的发疯般滋长，有力地改变了，也深刻地革除了让人绝望的师徒相传的风格拷贝的传统，使审美教育演变为众多学生对本来属于教师个人的迷宫的改革式搭建，使迷宫成为对象，成为灵感，成为新生艺术家平步青云的平台！
作为独立的艺术家，邓箭今微笑着，沉吟着，目睹个人迷宫的自然延伸，并在延伸中，有力地营造着让迷宫自由变异的机会，从而让追随者在迷宫中自我成长。这就是情境的力量！也就是说，邓箭今使自己成为推动他人发展的情境，让后来者穿越自我的迷宫，去营造他者的迷宫。今天，这些迷宫聚合在一起，构成一个比邓箭今个人艺术更为广大的情境，让艺术的时代意义在其中彰显！
这是立方体般的彰显！即是情境，又是迷宫！或者相反，即是迷宫，又是情境！
