软偶
张尔
在灰色的夜空前，
伫立着一颗年轻的树，
它拒绝了幻梦的爱，
在思考另一个世界。
——顾城
陈牧甜新近的工作持续深入在材料的经验与抽象的异化劳作中，柔软的布匹、针织的旧物、朦胧的薄纱、晶莹的亮片，如此等等形态迥异的色彩与面料，在她精心编织和缝补下，形成有如梦幻般的仙境与奇崛空间，充盈诗性的修辞和憧憬。
肖婷婷从国画的媒介入手，软性的宣纸与笔墨在她笔下呈现的不再是传统意义上的古风与意境。她使用的色粉在画面中奔放而热烈，凝练的线条轮廓与节制的笔法晕染所建构的造型和神态，使得她的创作转向一种更趋立体与抽象的表达。
在以颜料作为底色所综合铺陈的画面中，既承载着陈牧甜获取自马王堆考古中传统文化的信息和根源，同时，她的画笔与针线所营造的语境，也综合了自身成长的经验、对现实趣味的捕捉，以此形成某种对既往的突围、破坏与重建，因而具备了一种显著风格的当下性。
无独有偶，肖婷婷也时常有意地改造经典，以她曾经学习与研究的传统作品为鉴，结合对现实境遇的观察与感受，既重逢与赞叹旧日的图景，又书写和涂抹出新意盎然。因此，古典与当代，东方和异域，肖婷婷不断在新旧的起承转合中重构出独特风貌的个体语言。

有趣的是，两者的细腻情思与柔软触角，在各自不同的媒介与风格下，同时呈现出诸多形似的图像，一众跳荡的精灵，雀跃的脸谱，荒诞的怪兽，冒险的玩偶，它们或暗自吟唱，或琴瑟和鸣，面对共同的今天和未知的明天，它们就象那渴望和追寻自由的风之舞。

Soft Puppets
Before the grey of the night’s sky,
Stands a solitary young tree,
Refusing illusory love,
Pondering another world.
—Gu Cheng
Chen Mutian’s recent work continues her explorations into material experience and abstract alienated labour. An eclectic range of colours and materials, from soft fabrics and discarded textiles to diaphanous chiffon and luminous sequins, are weaved together into a patchwork dreamscape, a magical world imbued with the rhetoric and longing of poetry.
Xiao Tingting’s medium might be the soft rice paper and water-based ink of traditional Chinese painting, but her subject is a far cry from the traditional scenes it has historically depicted. Her bold use of intense colour, as well as the forms and moods produced by her terse outlines and muted use of blotting, endow her work with an almost cubist or abstract expressionist character.
The display of items on Chen Mutian’s canvas are arranged over a painted backdrop, channelling the cultural inspiration she has drawn from the ancient Mawangdui archaeological site in Changsha. At the same time, her use of paint and textiles has produced an expressive space that contains her experience of life and growing up as well as her tireless pursuit of the aesthetically intriguing. The result is a kind of foray beyond the past, an attempt to dismantle and reassemble it, which in turn serves to stylistically charge the present.
Similarly, Xiao Tingting often sets about reworking the classics. Building on the traditional paintings that were once the object of her studies, she has incorporated her observations of and reflections on our current situation, paying tribute to the images of old while writing new visual odes rich with meaning. She has thus created an individual and unique language that stands on the cusp between the classical and the contemporary, the East and the alien.
Interestingly, despite the differing styles and media on display in their art, the refined and receptive emotional sensitivity shared by these two artists has resulted in similar images appearing in their work. Throngs of exuberant spirits, painted masks of joy, absurd beasts and adventuring puppets, either humming to themselves or singing in chorus, face a communal today and an unknown tomorrow with that lust for freedom we often see in the dance of wind.

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in the Oil Painting Department from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2009, a master’s degree from Hunan Normal University in 2013 and finished her advanced studies in Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2015. She currently lives and works in Changsha.
Chen Mutian's works are composed of a multitude of mysterious symbols and camber lines. Strokes and patterns that resemble words and have been extended to graphic form, implying Chen Mutian's unique insight into the world. It is not only a secretive space for her imagination, but also a series of metaphors for her in-depth understanding and expression. Through the dreamy and romantic color expressions, the works have always been able to create a very personal and conscious understanding for the audience.
Chen Mutian‘s unique language and expressions were inspired from the silk books excavated from Mawangdui Han Tombs of Changsha. The stories of immortality from ancient cultures and modern legends intersect in her creations, which are multi-dimensional and psychedelic. Through oil painting, various shapes and colors cloth and mixed media, as well as new media and installations, Chen Mutian strives to find an exclusive way of thinking and expression, trying to create an inner landscape full of wonder for people living in a real life to forget their fears. In her recent works, Chen Mutian has further explored the variation and possibilities of materials, becoming more free in form, more extensive in materials, more mature in style, with a new image of language and temperament.
