艺术家施少平创作日记

       “莫非·雨雪”顾名思义作品含有雨雪元素，身临这么一座精美晚清古院落中，艺术家施少平借两处“天井”再现了中国古代建筑艺术中智慧奇妙之处。天井在旧时是老宅采光最主要的构造，客厅又被称作“明堂”，于是就有了“四水归明堂”之说，让上天飘荡而下的一切充满灵性之物归于老宅，是人们对自然的一种美好企盼。天井使得大自然嵌入院落，人们足不出户，即可将日月星辰尽收眼底，倍觉浑然一体，心旷神怡，这是艺术上的奇巧精妙，又是视觉效果上的奇景，文化蕴涵深沉独到。

      “雨雪”在两处天井中同时呈现，将空间巧妙结合，使环境趣味化，这“天空之井”仿佛打开了通向自然的玄妙之门，能拾起阳光一片，又可触碰天下雨雪，能见四时运行，寒来暑往，方寸天地，自得其乐，坐井观天，身处高墙内，运筹帷幄中，是多少人绝尘世间而慎独隐逸的绝妙享受，白云遮角，鸟鸣屋檐，与自然的阳光，空气，雨雪……融为一体，独享一方天地间的自然大道的“回归”。

Shi Shaoping / Metamorphoses · rain and snow / Installation (snow machine, water pump, water pipe, water)

       Containing both the elements of rain and snow, this work brings you to a delicate ancient yard which represents the marvelous wisdom of ancient building arts of China via the construction of two courtyards. As the most important daylighting-collecting structure of ancient buildings, courtyard is also called "Bright Hall" which leaves us the old saying that "water and light from all sides are converging at the light yard". It implies that all the spiritual things from heaven are going back to the ancient hall, which also symbolize people's best wish of the Nature. Embedding the Nature within, the yard is able to present people the sun, moon and stars without going outside, which gives people a sense of harmony, unity as well as complete relax and happy. This is both the delicacy in arts and wonderful sight in visual effects with deep and unique culture elements implied inside. With rain and snow being presented at the two yards at the same time, it has combined the space in a clever way and made the environment more interesting. It seems that this "Well of Heaven" has opened the mysterious door to the Nature and collected millions of sunlight. People are able to touch the rain and snow, sense the time running, feel the cycle of four seasons and enjoy the happiness with themselves in this square inch of the world. Though sitting at the well and surrounded by the high walls, people can still enjoy the beautiful sky and have everything under control, which is just the marvelous secluded enjoyment many people pursue outside the world. Appreciating the covering cloud and hearing the singing bird under roof, people is become a part of the nature together with sunshine, air, rain, snow and others and truly feel the sense of "Returning" to the Nature at this square between heaven and earth alone.
