皆非——宋小松：藝術(shù)的裂痕
宋小松曾就讀于法國(guó)巴黎國(guó)立高等美術(shù)學(xué)院和杭州中國(guó)美術(shù)學(xué)院。他還曾在北京的中央美術(shù)學(xué)院工作，在那里他對(duì)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的紙上水墨技法產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣。他的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作可以追溯到幾十年前，基于不同技術(shù)（繪畫、素描、裝置和攝影）的使用，展示了（至少）三種不同文化的交叉影響：保加利亞、中國(guó)、法國(guó)。
在英語(yǔ)中，neither是用來描述不屬于或不滿足兩個(gè)或多個(gè)選擇中任何一個(gè)的事物的。它指的是存在兩種選擇，但所討論的卻并不屬于這兩種選擇的情況。因此，neither指在兩個(gè)相反的選擇之間不進(jìn)行選擇，或者對(duì)任何一個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不滿意。在他藝術(shù)中，我們可能會(huì)看到諸如峽谷、漢字、裂縫、身體器官、肌肉、肉體、宇宙圖像和火山等等。
《無(wú)題2018-1》（Untitled2018-1） 180x100cm，2018 紙質(zhì)、水墨設(shè)色 ink and wash on paper
宋小松說“火山噴發(fā)造就的紋理總是在我的藝術(shù)中反復(fù)”。這種形式的生命動(dòng)力也為他的藝術(shù)留下了空間和想象——正如藝術(shù)家所說，“是被神秘所操控”。藝術(shù)家在藝術(shù)中運(yùn)用的色彩也促使我們擁抱生命的活力。宋小松在他的畫作中通過單色以及忽明忽暗的光線表達(dá)，一些作品則添加些許顏色進(jìn)行點(diǎn)綴，例如紅色，他聲稱紅色可以賦予空間活力，而藍(lán)色和棕褐色，就像“泥土”一樣，將他的藝術(shù)變的更加“接地氣”，但也更加神秘。
《無(wú)題2018-7》（Untitled2018-7） 180x100cm，2018 紙質(zhì)、水墨設(shè)色 ink and wash on paper
對(duì)于小松來說，每種顏色都有自己特定的表達(dá)。他喜歡中國(guó)的宣紙，通過“雕刻”宣紙來表達(dá)藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作，從而形成他在法語(yǔ)中所說的“mouvements mouvementés”（“動(dòng)蕩的運(yùn)動(dòng)”），進(jìn)而增強(qiáng)藝術(shù)生命的活力。藝術(shù)家的“非也”十分特別，當(dāng)我們（參觀者）站在他的作品前觀察時(shí)，我們會(huì)去思考生命中的縫隙與裂痕。對(duì)于瓦爾班諾夫來說：“我們都是多元的；我們內(nèi)心都具有多元性”。
宋小松堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，他的藝術(shù)旨在促進(jìn)與參觀者之間的溝通，以及情感的交流。他甚至分享了他最喜歡的一句話，即“創(chuàng)造藝術(shù)而不是戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”，這是他構(gòu)建跨文化橋梁的使命與任務(wù)，在某種程度上是通過他的家族歷史發(fā)展起來的，作為個(gè)體和藝術(shù)家無(wú)時(shí)不刻不在體現(xiàn)。

Neither – Phénix Varbanov’s new exhibition at ICI-LABAS
Phénix Varbanov studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (France) and at the Chinese Art Academy in Hangzhou. He has also worked at the Chinese Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where he developed a strong interest in the traditional Chinese technique of ink on paper. His art production already dates back several decades and has been based on the use of different techniques (painting, drawing, installations and photography), showcasing intersecting influences from (at least) three different cultures: Bulgaria, China, France. In English, neither is a word used to describe something that does not belong to or satisfy any of two or more alternatives. It refers to a situation where there are two choices or options presented, but the subject in question falls outside of both possibilities. Neither thus refers to a non-selection between two contrasting choices, or the absence of satisfaction with either option. Neither seems apt to describe Varbanov’s personal artistic endeavours, demonstrating some kind of lack of commitment to a particular choice, affiliation, or preference. In the art, we might see the work of an energetic force through what some of us might see as (randomly) ravines, Chinese characters, crevices, technologically enhanced pieces, body organs, muscles, flesh, videographies of universes and planets, volcanoes, etc. Phénix maintains that he “constructs in a volcanic magma. It is always becoming in the back and forth of the materials and textures I employ in my art”. This form of vital impetus leaves space to the mysterious and the magical too, according to the artist – ‘the mysteriously controlled’, he adds. The colours that the artist makes use of in his art also urge us to embrace the vital impetus of life. Phénix expresses himself by means of the monochrome, as well as deep and shadowy lights in his paintings. He has also added a few colours to some pieces such as red, which he claims dynamizes space, blue, and sepia, an ‘earthy colour’ which turns his art into some kind of wilderness, see outer space environments. As a tactile artist, he also likes to play with the Chinese rice paper (to ‘tame’ it), sculpting it a bit, forming what he calls in French ‘mouvements mouvementés’ (‘tumultuous movements’ in English), adding some depth to the vital impetus of the art pieces. Although some visitors might think that Phénix’s ‘neitherness’ is very special, meditating in front of his art, they can also interrogate their own neither… nor… identities, attempting to look into the interstices and crevices of the pieces. For Varbanov: “We are all multicultural; we all have plurality inside of us”. Varbanov insists that his art is meant to initiate communication, care and emotional/intellectual enrichment in and amongst the visitors. He even shares his favourite slogan, ‘make art not war’, hinting at the mission of the intercultural mediator, somewhat developed through his family history, that he takes very seriously as a person and an artist.
