艺术实践
刘震的艺术实践主要以绘画为主。他的作品探索了，他眼中的个体与当代文化之间的冲突。回顾他充满纪律性和镇压环境下的青少年时代，刘震当前的艺术研究，在现代社会学的背景下，着眼于对于缺乏自我表达和自我意识存在的担忧。
对于刘震，他的生活经历使其能够反思他对现实的看法，希望通过他的艺术作品和艺术热情提高对现代社会问题的关注，能够增强某种对社会责任意识的需求。受后现代主义语言的影响，刘震在他的绘画中重新展现了寓言类的情感和批判性的争论，以此鼓励与观众对话，讨论高度文明的现代社会所面临的问题，并达成某种共识。他的艺术热情在于讨论，过度饱和的，模糊了个体与集体之间界限的公共记忆。刘震希望以探索“儿童绘画”为表达形式，让绘画失去绘画，不再塑造或反映美学，就像其初衷一样，让个体与集体的符号消解在图像中。
在他目前的创作中，在外游学旅居多年归来的刘震，重新审视自己成长记忆中对其‘个体塑造’产生过重要影响的社会符号 – 英雄主义，并由此以儿时仰望攀登的身体记忆，绘制了恢弘气魄的《英雄山》系列。
Artist Statement
Liu Zhen’s practice focuses on paintings, which explore the conflict he sees between individuality and modern culture. Looking back at his younger days in an environment of discipline and repression, Liu’s current art research looks at the fears surrounding the lack of self-expression and the presence of self-consciousness in the context of modern sociology.
For Liu, his life experiences have enabled him to reflect on his perception of reality; and through his art and his passion for raising attention to concerns with modern social issues, he is able to amplify the need for an awareness of social responsibility. Influenced by the language of post-modernism, Liu reinvents allegoric sentiment and critical contestation into his paintings to encourage a dialogue with the audience, regarding issues faced in a highly civilized modern society to achieve consensus. His artistic passion lies in addressing, oversaturated, public memory that blurs the boundaries between the individual and the collective. Liu hopes to explore “children’s painting” as a form of expression so that painting will lose painting, no longer shape or reflect aesthetics, just like its original intention, let individual and collective symbols dissolve in images.
In his current practice, Liu, who has returned from studying and practicing abroad for many years, re-examines the social symbols in his growth memory that have had an important impact on his “individual shaping”-heroism and uses the body memory of looking up to climbing when he was a child, drew the magnificent “Hero Mountain” series.
