我为胡予缤摄影展《寂静之歌》撰写一篇前言


胡予缤摄影展(前言)

胡予缤是业余摄影艺术家。儿时就耳濡目染父辈摄影的瞬间索相之美,并为时光凝固瞬间的视觉效果所吸引。他的摄影爱好从中学开始。自学掌握了纯光学摄影、感光胶片、相纸和幻灯等基础媒体。胡予缤精通暗室创作,尽知摄影从科学原理到工业化制作、到最新数字技术应用的种种变迁。由此,他的作品脱颖于当代器材技术的优势或限制,实现了对经典艺术形式的升华 ,并有所突破。

胡予缤擅长用简单构图和鲜明色彩来表达对自然界的认知和思考。他的作品,往往是端庄的传统写生构图,而不依赖新奇的角度和透视。这样,帮助观众更专注于所呈现的细节。在现代摄影潮流中,常见谋求特殊视角或有意夸张镜头光学效应的种种前卫技巧;相比胡予缤刻意的经典严谨创作,后者的创新似乎更难、但更能发挥观众的观察力。

胡予缤的作品,不同于流行的“视觉超载(Visually Overload)”现代画派。他所创造的“视觉风暴(Visual Storm)”,在于给予观众如画的宁静和深邃,促使观者进入细节,在自己的大脑空间里想象、憧憬和神往。每个观众都有自发头脑风暴(Brainstorm)的潜力,而艺术家的责任是启发和调动观众的参与。请他们参与和衍生艺术家的创意,型成抒发观众情怀的“个性版本”。

胡予缤作品保持了写生绘画的规整,但又通过类似传统暗室二次创作的方式提高了作品的意境。如果说中国摄影祖师郎静山先辈用暗室艺术创作把“摄影”升华到了 “写意国画”所能表达的意境,这里胡予缤对色调和灰度层次的数字后期处理,就升华到“工笔国画”所能表达的画意。同时,相似地,二者都并没有忽视(而是尽情发挥了)对景象动感的描述。例如:郎先辈在烟波浩渺的湖光山色写意中常有船只游弋;相对的,胡予缤的工笔河岸胡杨或有刚劲稳重的树干对比于其被强风舞弄的枝叶。胡予缤摄影的实践途径,有着无穷的传承和创意前景。

胡予缤注重构图艺术,他取景苛刻而工整,代表了他心灵净化和情感享受的潜意识过程。他是在表达内外世界的精神物化。这次展出的内容大多是他2013年的作品,与观众分享的是艺术家当年的心情。在熟人之中再来赏识:出自这些作品所反映的心地,顺理成章地证实了他今日事业中的严谨风格和成就。

胡予缤就职于国经泰富投资管理公司,为董事总经理。他也是国家智库- 中国经济交流中心的理事,同时推动着几项世界第一的中国科技发明。

传达给观赏者的是艺术家的世界:不仅要能在平凡之中见人之所不见的自然之美,而且要在方寸之间以自主的方式分享艺术家眼中的美好,还要启发观赏者随着画意来行云流水。我们可以看到胡予缤就是在这三者之间循迴着,与观者交流。他认为这是艺术家的职责。让我们来衷心认可他这个难能可贵的业余摄影艺术家风范。

胡予缤的作品显示出其朝着博大精深发展的趋向,正如同他丰富的事业和生活经历 。他曾是青少年无线电爱好者、插队知识青年、建筑专业大学生、工业工程留学研究生、归国创业人才,现代无线通讯技术的发明和企业创世人,“后LED世代”健康节能照明的发明人和产业化推动者。如此,他的摄影作品,已是源于生活、高于生活;反映着现代中国知识分子既有原则又有情趣的风格。我们希望他能在繁忙的科技工程事业中与社会分享更多的艺术作品和情怀,精深祖国的当代文化。

精彩作品,展现绚丽人生 ——参加胡予缤摄影作品展感想

2018年3月16日,在北京798艺术中心“中国摄影家协会”展厅,开展了一场别开生面的以《寂静之歌》为主题的胡予缤摄影作品展览活动。一幅幅精彩绝伦的摄影作品,吸引了国内外摄影爱好者、新闻工作者和国内外摄影界资深人士的目光和遐想。摄影展,不仅给人以美不胜收的感觉,而且让大家看到了一个业余摄影家高尚的情怀和对摄影艺术执着的追求。

胡予缤的摄影作品,体现出了“寂静”之特色。无论是大漠驼影、圆明园残垣、孤独的胡杨林,还是故宫护城河角楼、贵州苗寨古城……皆远离喧嚣、浮躁、高楼大厦,整个作品中甚至人影难觅,但一片寂静中却蕴藏着人对大自然造化的感叹、赞美,对历史的思考,以及望向远方寂静的目光。

胡予缤先生是一位企业总裁,也是在科技领域里展露头角的特殊人物,他居然能跻身于摄影界,能拍出能让著名摄影家叹服的摄影作品,这又是怎么一回事呢?胡予缤影展前言的作者罗晋先生向记者揭示了这个既深奥,又简单的谜底。

胡予缤从小就是一个聪明过人的好孩子。受知识分子父辈的影响,胡予缤很早就接触并喜欢上摄影,但摄影在那个时代对“爱好者”还是绝对的奢侈品。中学时代的胡予缤比拍照更熟练掌握的是暗房洗照片那一套工序。插队、文革后高考上大学学理工、工作,出国留学、工作,2002年回国全身心投入高科技企业的创业和技术创新,从企业信息系统的研发到领先世界的新光源技术,从理工男到企业管理人员。但无论在农村、还是上大学或在国外学习、工作,胡予缤一直都把摄影作为自己主要的业余爱好。他对摄影的热爱以及对事物敏锐的观察和捕捉能力成就了其作品的个性化内涵和深邃的思想境界。如今身为投资管理公司的总经理、国家智库的理事,胡予缤只能在经常忙到深夜的繁忙工作之余,把摄影当做纯粹的业余爱好。一次好不容易挤出时间的九寨沟之行,早晨六点半进沟,晚上六点出来,几乎滴水未进。凭着这股子韧劲儿,凭着他对摄影事业的执着追求,才是他今天能够在摄影界展露头角的真正诠释。

本次胡予缤个人摄影展,非常成功。参加这次摄影展的艺术界嘉宾,有中国摄影家协会专家评审委员会主任(兼中国摄影家协会图片社主任)谢颖梅、北京798文化管理委员会主任张国华、词作家乔方(乔羽之子)、国家一级美术师徐宏毅、中央美术学院博士、著名公共艺术策展人及时代空间主持人阿福、北京社科院体育文化中心主任金汕、台湾世界友好促进会理事长林秋金等人。参见这次展会的新闻媒体机构,有国际媒体凤凰新闻社社长田长友先生及相关领导、中国体育报首席记者周继明、腾讯网记者叶珠峰。还有中国建筑装饰协会设计委员会主任陈竟、东方九泓投资股份有限公司董事长岑忠杰先生等企业界人士。

我们预祝胡予缤先生有更多精彩的摄影艺术作品问世,预祝胡予缤先生的人生,更加精彩!

All together hardly few human figures are in these photos, but in silence they hold very human impressions, praise and sentiments. It associates a viewer his/her thought to history, encouraging his/her seeing-through toward the far silence.

Mr. Hu is an executive of a nterprise, and he has been an emerging figure of science and technologies.

Today, as an CEO of a major financial administration enterprise, as well a managing director of a state think-tank, Mr. Hu works day-and-night, still manages to keep the one hobby of his. Once, he went to the famous landmark Nine Stockade Gully, the same day in and out, a round-clock trek, and no-stop for meals. That is his tenacious streak. Persistent persuasion, that truly explains his achieving status in photography.
