Hu Zhiying: Difference between revisions

[[Critics]] including [[Robin Peckham]] generally believe that Hu Zhiying's art does not belong to the popular art style in the current art criticism [[Discourse analysis|discourse]] system of [[realism (arts)|realism]] [[criticism]].<ref name="The Form's Meaning, the Personal Religion and the Issue about Bacon in Hu Zhiying's Art"></ref><ref name="issuu"/><ref name="Bao Dong">{{cite magazine|author1=Bao Dong |title=The Sublime Aesthetics of Hu Zhiying |journal=Poetry Circle |date=2010 |issue=6 |pages=33–36 |publisher=Heilongjiang Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles|location=[[Harbin]] |issn=1674-9413|quote=他的作品是不考慮‘現實’這個概念的，對於胡志穎來說，‘現實’只不過是“幻象”的另一種說法，藝術真正要抵達的是彼岸性——這個來自於康德哲學的術語暗示了那些無法被認識的自在之物的存在，因而提供給我們了一個超越性的視點，使我們獲得了從經驗世界，即現象界中抽身離開的可能。}}</ref><ref name="Visions of Variety">{{cite book|author=Yang Wei|title=The Mirage of Single Person, Visions of Variety|publisher=Haifeng Publishing House|location=[[Fuzhou]]|year=2013|ISBN=978-7-5512-0108-7|quote=他在1989年前後創作的一批‘抽像水墨’，以一些東方的神秘符號為元素，也無不表現了在西方現代藝術的影響下尋找主體意識的突圍。實際上，這跟‘85新潮’以來，中國現代藝術整體呈現出的影響焦慮，也有著藕斷絲連的內在聯繫。看得出來，胡志穎在繪畫創作上並不是閉門造車，而是一直帶著當代人的問題意識往前推進，只不過受終極理想的價值啟迪，他沒有淺嚐輒止，把自己探索的步伐停止於某個思潮或某個現實問題而已。}}</ref> Art critic and historian [[Gao Minglu]] stated in ''Freedom of a Lonely Passenger'': Hu Zhiying is an independent meditator.

Paul Bridgewater, director of an art gallery in [[New York City]], analyzed Hu's art and said: “The [[installation art]] of Hu Zhiying is a journey of process and [[Discovery (observation)|discovery]]. Form his installation work since the '90's where he [[illustrate]]s an understanding of traditional [[Eastern arts]], where reverence of nature and solitude are explored through a masterful fluidity of art form with complex elements. But as a thinking artist, Hu begins to explore the ephemera of [[Western Culture]]. Western motifs insinuate themselves into his work. Hu investigates the overbearing elements of [[Western Culture]], where production and [[Resource consumption|consumption]] become process of themselves replacing the value of the human consumer.”<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Paul Bridgewater|title=Hu Zhiying's Art|place=[[Guangzhou]]|journal=Gallery|issue=226|publisher=Lingnan Fine Arts Publishing House|date=2017|pages=56–57}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hu Zhiying - Bronx Council On The Arts |url=https://www.bronxarts.org/programs/resource/artist-registry/Hu-Zhiying.html |website=www.bronxarts.org |access-date=10 February 2021 |language=en}}</ref>
