记忆中的肖像－纯真年代II

Gulistan古丽斯坦的作画，宛如其人，轻盈飘逸，空灵幽幻。她的组画《记忆中的肖像》，融通中西，纵贯古今，将时间和空间在记忆的元素中汇聚重组，整合成一幅幅既朦胧淡泊、又明晰可亲的清纯画面，其间既有闲情逸致的花香鸟语，又有神秘幽邃的天苍海碧。东方亮丽的鹅黄与西域忧郁的浅蓝交相辉映，波斯花卉的天方遐想与拜占庭镶嵌的金色梦幻氤氲萦绕；罗马皇帝的昔日辉煌犹如过眼烟云，土耳其宫女的今世诱惑不过昙花一现。白驹过隙，映射出达利的永恒记忆；仙鹤飞天，显现出佛家的真如智慧。还有东山魁夷幽远宁静的山林水泽与蒙克躁动翻涌的天空云彩，更是把现实与梦幻在时空的记忆中砸碎揉合。观赏Gulistan古丽斯坦的画作，不仅有悠远的审美意韵，而且有深邃的哲理启迪，方感人生在世不过南柯一梦，浓墨重彩无非博人一笑，轻描淡写才是生命和艺术之真谛。

Gulistan古丽斯坦的画作，宛如其人，一言以蔽之，就是“清纯”二字。没有任何矫饰的天真无邪，犹如古希腊的心灵纯洁而永生的孩童，苍穹万象、天工巧匠，尽在率性流露之中，展现了朴实无华的本真之美。

Gulistan’s works have been highly appraised by Mr. Huang Du, a well-known international curator and contemporary art critic, who thinks that she is a contemporary artist with unique aesthetic taste who draws inspiration and energy from the classics and returns to elegance in a post-modern way. This is completely different from the general comment of “superb skill, gladden the heart and please the eye”.

Contemplating the Middle Ages I

In recent years, Gulistan’s paintings have further expanded and dived further, requiring a more complete layout and more individuality. A more powerful expression, the most representative of which should be this “Memory of the portrait-Self-gaze”. This is developed from a small painting of two people playing a game many years ago. Completed in 2019. The works are still elegant and gentle, but the air is very strong; the techniques are still simple and simple, but the careful examination is richer and more refined. In the center of the picture are two busts. They are similar but different. The lower part of the painting is like a mountain, like water, like clouds and mist, like a sensible natural dream, and like the original prehistoric universe? They are not the existence of reality, but the existence of people and nature structured by the author with montage technique, expressing that “You have me and I have you”, “Dao that can be daoed(dao in Chinese that has one meaning means express)is not the true Dao” philosophical thinking, virtual intertwined close relationship. The chaotic and sacred atmosphere created by the whole picture tells us that their gazes are both projected to each other and inwardly watching. Only such feedback and thinking involve deeper propositions.

Gulistan is not just immersed in it with the audience, think about human beings themselves, the relationship between people, and the relationship between people and nature. Wings are also given to the protagonists to symbolize the freedom and hope that reflective human beings may have. Just like herself, she advocates the free and uninhibited flying of the mind, and is always in touch with the blood of her family and country. And when the epidemic is raging all over the world.. This creation undoubtedly more profoundly interprets the essence of the work originating from great love!

Tribute to the classics VI

In fact, no matter which series of Gulistan’s works, the common theme is love. Without love, how can beauty pass and forever? Without thought, how can there be deep power? When these two are combined, and touch our heartstrings with both classical and modern artistic language, we will be deeply moved; we will realize that because of love, gentleness can also be very powerful!

Gulistan’s paintings are very unique and highly recognizable in the painting circle with serious homogenization and bright surface. This insistence on painting concepts and individual language requires strong inner motivation. Must also have comprehensive artistic literacy. Her works are poetic and musical, spanning time and space, but leaving room for the viewer’s imagination. As a result, more and more people read and fell in love with her works.

This painting is relatively large and has strong appeal. It is suitable for collection in art museums or for decoration in living room clubs with large space. I believe that the audience will stop and stare at the work before the painting, echo Gulistan’s love and thinking together, and look back at their hearts together, hoping that both themselves and the world will become better! This is the value of excellent contemporary works!

Gulistan古丽斯坦的作品曾被著名囯际策展人，当代艺评家黄笃先生给予很高的评价，认为她是从古典汲取灵光和能量並以后现代的方式回归典雅，具有独特美学趣味的当代艺术家。这和 “技艺高超，赏心悦目”的一般评论完全不在一个层面。

记忆中的肖像-自我凝视

近些年，Gulistan古丽斯坦的画作又进一步开阔和深潜，要求有更完整的佈局和更个性、更有力的表述，其中最有代表性的应该是这幅“记忆中的肖像-自我凝视”。这是从多年前一幅两人对弈的小画发展深化而成。完成于2019年。作品仍淡雅温柔，气㘯却很大；手法仍简洁单纯，细察却更丰富更精致。画面中心是两个半身像，他们相似又有差别，画的下半部，如山似水如云若雾，像可感的自然梦境又像原初的洪荒宇宙？他们不是现实的存在，是作者用蒙太奇手法结构的人和自然的存在，表达你中有我，我中有你；道可道，非常道的哲思，虚拟相互交织的密切关系。整个画面营造的粛穆和神圣的氛围告诉我们，他们的凝视既有相互投射又有内心观照，这样的反馈和思考，才涉及更深的命题。

Gulistan古丽斯坦在这里不只是和观众一起沉浸其中，共同思考人类自身，人与人，人与自然的关系。还特别给予主角们加了翅膀，象征有反思的人类可能拥有的自由和希望。正像她自己，崇尚自由心灵的飞翔无羁，又时时情牵家国血缘根脉。而当疫情肆虐全世界时，这幅创作，无疑更深刻的诠释了作品源于大爱的本质!

曾经的辉煌VI

其实Gulistan古丽斯坦的作品，不论是哪个系列，共同的主题都是爱，没有爱.哪来美的流逝和永恆？没有思想，哪有深蓫的力量？当这两者结合在一起，又以既古典又现代的艺术语言触动到我们的心弦时，我们才会被深深打动；我们才会悟到，因为有爱，温柔也可以很有力量！

Gulistan古丽斯坦的画，在同质化严重、表面光鲜亮丽的画坛显得十分独特，辨识度很高。这种对绘画理念和个性语言的坚持需要强大的内心动力。还要有全面的艺术素养。她的作品交融了诗意和乐感，跨越了时间和空间，但又给观者留有想象的空间。也因此越来越多的人读懂了、爱上了她的作品。

这幅画比较大，感染力也强，适合美术馆收藏，或空间较大的客厅会所佈置。相信观众会在画前停住脚步凝视作品，一起呼应Gulistan古丽斯坦的爱和思考，共同反观自己的内心，希望自己和世界都变得更美好！这才是优秀的当代作品的价值所在！

Growing desire I

Gulistan’s paintings are like the little owl she drew, taking off from the Gobi Desert in Central Asia, flying east across the Pacific Ocean and west to the Mediterranean Sea, which is the journey of most of the earth. She keeps going back and forth, scanning the earth and the ocean with elvish eyes, looking through the ancient times and the future.

When I face Gulistan’s paintings, it seems that I have been brought into her subconscious visual scene. The remains of those ancient civilizations do not seem to be buried by flying sands, but being vacantly hanged in a foot away, smiling at their own past. I see a young girl who seems to be standing by the edge of the wall two thousand years ago,staring at me with her sharp eyes. Can I go back to her?Maybe there is a sea that seeps into the long-dried Gobi, and a white cloud is steaming in the most central part of the Asian continent. The cloud falls on the girl’s chest and becomes the lace that sets off her noble head. Maybe the girl goes to farther southern Europe, and a pair of wings growing out of her hairline. These wings are a gathering of mountains, forests, rivers, flowers, birds, and beasts, and become an oasis that could take a rest during the long migration of life.

Gulistan is a magician of time and space. The memory fragments of any place can be incorporated into the picture by her hands, therefore her paintings reflect the meaning of traveling through time and space. This ability can’t be obtained by training in the academy, it is the courage from her deep inner heart. No wonder that Gulistan is able to easily throw the paintings out at her willingness. Gulistan’s owls should have been hovering over the ancient Silk Road for many centuries, and numerous of passing lives should appear as the portraits at a certain moment.

What a mysterious world!

运送音乐的猫头鹰

Gulistan古丽斯坦的画就像她画的那只小猫头鹰，从中亚的戈壁起飞，往东飞穿越太平洋，往西到达地中海，那是大半个地球的旅程，她不断往返，用精灵般的双眼扫描着大地和海洋、透视着远古与未来。

当我面对Gulistan古丽斯坦的画面时，仿佛被她带入潜意识中的视觉景象。那些远古文明的残片，似乎并不是被飞沙掩埋着，而是在一尺之外的虚悬中，微笑着自己的过往。我看到一位少女，她应该是站在两千年前的土墙边与我对视，犀利的明眸凝视着我，我能回到她的身边吗？也许有一片大海，渗入久旱的戈壁，在亚洲大陆最中心的地方蒸腾起一片洁白的云，那云落在少女的胸前成为衬托她高贵头颅的蕾丝花边。也许那少女去了更远的南欧，她的发际边生长出一对翅膀，这翅膀是山林、河流、百花、鸟兽的聚成，在生命漫漫的迁徙中成为可以稍息片刻的绿洲。

Gulistan古丽斯坦是一位时间和空间的魔术师，任何一个地方的记忆片段都可以被她信手拈来拢入画面，于是她的画便有了穿越时空的意味。这不是在学院训练能够得来的能力，它是发自内心的胆量，因为心里有，所以才能随手甩甩。Gulistan古丽斯坦的猫头鹰应该在古丝绸之路上空盘桓许多世纪了，许多隔世的记忆在某一个时刻显现为肖像。

多么神秘的世界啊！
