你的怅惘是什么颜色 ——关于《青春 · 记忆》的创作手记
文/刘琦 一切艺术都是回忆，都是朝花夕拾。 有些人长于回忆细节，有些人长于回忆情绪，《青春·记忆》就是我对那时青春的一次回忆。 关于青春，我的阅历不足以使我定义她，我无法形容她，甚至不曾真正见过她，当我知道她的时候，我便对她充满了好奇、想象与挥霍，因身处其中，便不知珍惜，一直都以为是在打草稿，可以有无限修改的机会，可是醒来已经是快交卷的时候了！ 在某一天，一个夏天，一个偶然的下午，一束斜阳提醒我到了该交卷的时刻了，我不知所措，我本能地要以我擅长的方式作些反应，也许尚早，也许已晚，但，谁说得清呢？ 来不及选择了，只好把草稿整理整理当试卷了，周围的人充当了我的情感载体，边忆边画,画画忆忆，因为是对记忆的回忆，可能细节有些模糊，也许影像有些错位，但贯穿其间的情绪则是我那时的真实感受，真实的喜悦，真实的哀愁，今天我自己看了都有些暗自吃惊，不敢正视，仿佛无意间偷看了自己的一篇日记，一段档案，一页病历……
What Color is your Sadness? — Notes on Memory of Youth (Series) By Liu Qi All works of art are memories, like the dawn blossoms are picked up at dusk. Some people tend to remember details, while others remember feelings. For me, Memory of Youth (Series) includes both kinds of recollection. It's hard for me to define what youth is. I can't describe it, even though I lived through it. When I was young, I was filled with curiosity and imagination, but I squandered it. I didn’t cherish it. I took it for granted. I always thought life was a draft that could be modified. I woke up one day and realized it was not. One summer afternoon, a beam of setting sunlight made me wonder if it was time to collate the memories of my youth. Maybe it was still too early; maybe it was actually too late. Who knew? As for how to do it, I had no idea. Instinctively, I turned to what I was good at: painting. In my rush to finish, I didn’t have much time to choose what made it into the final draft. Since I view the people who have passed through my life as the carriers of my emotions, I thought about them as I worked. My life became totally focused on remembering and recording. Even though to some extent the details were vague and the images dislocated, the flowing moods in the paintings are very real –a vivid expression of my feelings at the time. The moods I captured are made up of my true sentiments: real joy, real sadness. Now, when I look at my work, I’m secretly surprised, and feel a little awkward. It’s like sneaking a glance at private diaries, archives, or medical records.
