Mao Yan
毛 焰-AN ART SPACE
Mao yan·Thomas left El Greco right Speed is the enemy of art
The sun blinked and the tears began to flow, but now there was no need for tears. Just be honest and maybe see someone smile at me. But I don't need to.
毛焰的动向与众不同，从不逢山开路，遇水架桥。他不在现有的气氛中寻求认同，也不在属于未来世纪的幻觉中寻求支持。他更像是一个背转身的旅行者，心目中的圣地在绘画史的深处。——韩东

在我看来，我们的个性其实是与生俱来的，在作品中刻意渲染自己的个性是没有必要的。我曾经看过弘一法师抄的一个佛经，最大的体会是，他肯定不是在写书法。那么大的一个佛经，他写的所有字都是一个字，每个字没有任何区别，一丝不苟，工工整整，没有去表现所谓的“书法的魅力”，或者对经书的感悟。过度证明自己是很可悲的事情。
Interview with artist Mao Yan
我是古典情结非常浓重的人。我忠实于我自己的经历。到现在，我也经常会看那些古典大师的作品，并被深深触动。其中包括法国的德拉克洛瓦、西班牙的戈雅、德国的丢勒以及荷兰的维米尔。这四个画家是我一生的挚爱。

在这些作品面前，我觉得艺术家的个人性并不是那么重要，尽管这些画家都是极具个人性的大师。他们的高度令人敬仰，为之神往，是我精神上的指标。我愿意我这辈子的绘画都是向这些大师致敬。
