Memory of the portrait-A piece of golden

As a film and television producer, I have participated in many art exhibitions, and I often draw lessons from painting to create, but I have to say, Gulistan’s paintings give me a unique feeling – she paints like herself, giving people a pure and elegant, gentle and jade-like feeling, as well as a mysterious and profound sense of time and space.

The art of painting, like the art of film, reflects the artist’s observation and expression: Gulistan’s works mainly focus on “time, space, memory” as the theme: Time and space are the basis of life and material existence, memory is the basis for the continuation and development of human thinking and civilization.

One of the charms of art is that you read it and examine yourself. We appreciate works of art, and the greatest benefits are nothing more than two points: One is to bring pure aesthetic enjoyment, and the other is to trigger some kind of imagination and thinking. Gulistan’s work is unique in that her work seems to have a mind-opening magic, it can always give us a kind of philosophical, life self-examination-style imagination and thinking, even the ultimate thinking; it is like a dialogue beyond time and space, and it is like a past friendship remembered by time; In other words, everyone who yearns for spiritual freedom, longs to explore and think about the essentials of life, but has experienced the vicissitudes of life, can find the common frequency of heart and spirit in her works.

Looking at her paintings, it seems to open the door of time and space memory at once, you can see the imprint of the sky and the years, and sometimes you seem to see yourself, her paintings are the textures and colors branded on the canvas after time, space and memory have accumulated over the years, let us see more than just a simple painting, it also contains a kind of thinking about the past, present, future, as well as the meaning of life and existence. It is a picture scroll of thought wearing a flower dress of time and dancing under the rhythm of music; However, her work is just the right way to open and share this kind of thinking, but it never gives people a sense of oppression that is subjectively and spiritually instilled – This is a shackle that is difficult for an artist to escape – And this is precisely what makes Gulistan’s works brilliant and invaluable. And all of this, if the artist does not have a sense of reverence for life and all things, and a devotion to the pure beauty of the spirit, it is impossible to do it.

Maybe, we can temporarily forget about time, or occasionally not think about the meaning of existence, but it is hard to forget the Naples yellow and the light and heavy metaphorical line strokes and unique composition in Gulistan’s paintings, as well as the splendor and splendor contained in the image, under the interlacing of time and space and memory!

我的梦是一座花园VI

作为一名影视制片人，我参加过很多画展，也常以绘画借鉴之于创作，但不得不说，Gulistan古丽斯坦的绘画给我的感觉是独特的——她画如其人，予人一种纯净高雅、温婉如玉的感觉，更带一种时空悠远的神秘感和深邃感。

绘画艺术和电影艺术一样，体现是艺术家的观察与表达；Gulistan古丽斯坦的作品主要以“时间、空间、记忆”为主题；时间和空间是生命和物质存在的依托，记忆则是人类思维以及文明得以延续与发展的基础。

艺术的魅力之一在于你读懂了它，又审视了自己。我们欣赏艺术作品，最大的益处无非两点：一是带来纯粹的美感享受，第二是引发某种想象与思考。Gulistan古丽斯坦的作品独具匠心之处就在于，她的作品似乎具有一种开启思维的魔力，总能给我们一种哲学式的、生命自我审视式的想象与思考，甚至是终极思考；像是超越时空的对话，又像是岁月记忆的夙契；或者说，每一个向往精神自由，渴望探究和思考生命要义，却又历经世事沧桑的人，都能在她的作品里找到心灵和精神的共频。

看她的绘画，仿佛一下子打开了时空记忆的大门，你能够看见苍穹与岁月的印记，而有时你又似乎看见了自己。她的绘画是时空与记忆经过岁月沉淀后烙在画布上的纹理与色彩，让我们看到的不仅仅是一幅单纯的绘画作品，更蕴含着对过去、现在、未来，以及生命和存在意义的一种思考，是一幅思想穿戴了岁月的花裙，在音乐的韵律下翩翩起舞的画卷；然而，她的作品只是恰到好处地开启和分享这种思考，却从来不会给人主观刻意和精神灌输的压迫感——这是一个艺术家很难摆脱的桎梏——而这也恰恰是古丽老师作品高明与难能可贵之处。而这一切，如果艺术家没有一种对生命万物的敬畏之心，以及对精神纯净之美的虔诚之心，是做不到的。

也许，我们可以暂时忘却时间，也可以偶尔不去思考存在的意义，但却很难忘记Gulistan古丽斯坦绘画里的拿坡里黄和轻重隐喻的线条笔触与独特的构图，以及画幅中所蕴含的、时空与记忆交错下的灿烂与辉煌！

My dream is a garden III

I’m not a professional art collector, and the artwork I like has my own very personal thoughts.

Gulistan and I have known each other many years ago, we are basically contemporaries, just like a fellow traveler in one direction, she and her work are there, and even though we don’t see each other often, it feels like she’s always on the same frequency as me… In retrospect, I like Gulistan’s work for three main reasons:

First of all, Gulistan’s work is very much in line with my aesthetic preference. Because every artist has a very specific intention and her own way of expression when creating, but often the viewer may not know the story behind it at first glance, so I collect it because I really like it, have a fate,

able to be impressed. There are no works that I resonate with or dislike, no matter how good others say it, how to enter the market, appreciate, etc., I will not collect it. The biggest difference between art and commodities is that we have different values for it;

The second is that the work should seem to be related to me, something that resonates with me in my past memory or that I would be comfortable with in my space. It’s wonderful, this artwork will be integrated into my life and become a part of my life… Collections are not necessarily famous, expensive, or to show how artistic the collector is… Collections are often related to your subconscious love, perhaps childhood memories, perhaps a book you liked during your school days, or a trip to leave a good memory… When we are old, we will forget, but as the saying goes, seeing things and remembering people, collections can evoke our memories; And when the collection is a beautiful and story art piece, the traces of our lives will naturally continue in the lives of the next generation. This is one of the meanings of inheritance.

Memory of the portrait － Self-gaze

Third, anything that can be called art, I think the most important thing is that it is intriguing and can stand the precipitation of time, like a good wine. I pay more attention to whether an artist spends whole life in creating, in the long river of time, has always pursued art with wholehearted love, and as time goes by, this love is getting deeper and stronger!

Gulistan herself and her work are such a presence.

Gulistan herself and her work reflect our generation’s family background in urban education, basic understanding of truth, goodness and beauty in ancient and modern China and abroad. This kind of beauty has historical inheritance, traces of human civilization, and we have seen it in reading or traveling, This kind of beauty has historical inheritance, traces of human civilization, and we have seen it in reading or traveling, so Gulistan’s works for us have a kind of beauty that seems to have known each other, and a nostalgia for our old friends in other places… This kind of memory that has deeply touched you, faded but lingering, seems to embrace you through Gulistan’s work and through time and space.

In fact, it is difficult to express this kind of emotion through painting, because it is too complicated and very strong, and it is not clear. It may be easier to express it through music… But Gulistan’s work does it! She has found a special painting language that belongs to her. It is very unique. It seems simple, hazy and light, but it is fully and thickly expressed. There is a feeling of light weight, which can directly hit the depths of your memory and soul…

Her paintings are like wine, simple in appearance, yet mellow and aftertaste in the mouth… Looking at her paintings, you feel warm at first, then you will stop to watch and talk to it, and you will even cry silently over time…

Memory of the portrait- Blue II

Many people like to categorize artists, perhaps for easier systematic memory for later learners. I have been canceling a lot of trips due to COVID-19 some time ago, and there are Chagall and Gaetano Pechet exhibitions in two art galleries near where I work, and these happens to be the time period for Gulistan’s exhibition “Temperature of Time” in 2022, these three Chinese and foreign, young and old artists are all I find difficult to categorize! Romanticism, Impressionism, Abstraction, Surrealism… They are related to many definitions but are not consistent, instead, it has a stronger personal style and unique artistic charm. I hope that Gulistan will continue to move forward with her painting language and communicate with the world. One day she will become one of the most influential Chinese artists in the world.

I spent my college days in the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and later I also engaged in the design industry for many years. Architectural design is a subject between rationality and sensibility, technology and art. I use my own creative experience to feel Gulistan’s paintings, I think the most attractive thing about art compared with technology is that every audience sees and understands the same painting differently, unlike mathematics, which has formulas and conclusions… Different people have different interpretations of the same painting by Gulistan, and are broken down in front of different paintings… This is exactly how Gulistan likes to communicate, she likes to listen to each audience’s feedback and their interpretation, and consciously amplify the peculiar effect of this communication again, so there are many interesting people from different industries, different nationalities, different genders, and different circles gathered around her, which is also one of the unique charms of her work.

At the same time, because the image is the artist’s own memory, understanding and perception of life, the painting itself can be called a self-portrait of the author in disguise. Gulistan herself is quiet and introverted, beautiful and kind, gentle and delicate, rich in experience, and has a solid artistic foundation, her paintings are just like her! When we see Gulistan’s painting, even if only briefly hurried past it, when we see Gulistan’s paintings, even briefly passing by the images, there will be Just a quick glance but it left a deep impression, a glance like a thousand years.

From her paintings, we can feel awe, sadness and sympathy, wishes, gaze, nostalgia, longing for hometown, family affection… Her paintings are subtle and gentle like songs, and she loves the exquisite remains in human history, Her paintings are subtle and gentle like songs, she loves the exquisite relics in human history, capturing the unforgettable beauty in memory and the emotion and spirit behind them, Gulistan has nurtured her unique painting language through years of dedicated and professional thinking and practice… So she often said that every painting is like one of her children! Maybe it’s easier for me as a woman to understand the meaning of this sentence…

Memory of portrait- The Age of Innocence I

I am very fortunate to be able to collect one of Gulistan’s important works in the “Color of Time” exhibition at the National Art Museum of China “Memory of portrait- The Age of Innocence I”, I don’t know why but it reminds me of pictures of me and my younger brother when we were young, of our parents who loved us, we used to live in a poor and happy intellectual family full of love, the joy and tranquility of childhood are full of sunshine and details like the colors in the picture…

Thanks Gulistan! Thanks for the company of this painting in the future! The memory of love will live with us…

记忆中的肖像－金色童年

我不是专业的艺术收藏家，我喜欢的艺术品有我自己的很personal的思考。

古丽老师我们很多年前就认识，我们基本是同时代的人，就像去一个方向的同行者，她和她的作品就在那里，虽然不常见面但感觉一直跟我同步同频……细想起来，我喜欢古丽老师的作品有三个主要理由：

首先，古丽老师的作品，非常符合我的审美偏好。因为每一位艺术家在创作时都是有非常特定的用心和属于她的表达方式，但往往观看者第一眼不一定了解背后的故事，所以我收藏一定是因为我真心喜欢、有眼缘、能够被打动……我没有共鸣的或者不喜欢的，别人再说好.如何入流.升值等等我也不会收藏，艺术品跟商品最大的不同，就是我们对它的价值观不一样；

第二是作品要仿佛跟我有关，跟我过往的记忆里的某点存在共鸣，或者我的空间里容纳它我会感到很舒服.很美妙，这件艺术品会将融入我日后的生活并成为我生活的一部分……收藏的东西并不一定很有名、很贵、也不为显示藏家多么有艺术品味……收藏往往跟自己的潜意识里的爱有关、或许是童年的记忆、或许学生时代曾经喜欢的一本书、也或是一段旅行留下美好记忆……当我们老了、会遗忘，但俗话说睹物思人，收藏可以唤起我们的记忆；而当收藏是一件很美又有故事的艺术品，我们生活的痕迹就自然在下一代人的生活中继续，这就是传承的意义之一吧。

记忆的性质

第三，凡称得上艺术品，我觉得最重要的是它耐人寻味、经得起时间的沉淀，像好酒。我更看重一位艺术家是否用一生在创作，在时间的长河里，始终用全身心的热爱在追求艺术，而且随着时间的推移，这份爱越来越深沉.越来越浓厚！

古丽老师本人和她的作品正是这样的存在。

古丽老师本人和她的作品反应了我们这一代在都市教育背景的家庭出身的人，对古今中外真善美的基本认知。这种美是有历史传承的、有人类文明痕迹的、我们在读书或者旅行中曾经见过的，所以古丽老师的作品对我们来说 里面有一种似曾相识的美好、有一种对昔日他乡故友的怀恋……这种曾经深深打动过你的记忆，虽然褪色但挥之不去，好像透过古丽老师作品、穿越时空来拥抱你。

其实这种情感很难通过绘画表达，因为太复杂也很浓重更说不清，用音乐表达也许还容易些……但古丽老师的作品做到了！她找到了属于她的一种特殊绘画语言，非常独特，看似简单朦胧轻盈，却表达得很充分很厚实，有一种举重若轻的感觉，可以直击你的记忆深处和心灵深处………

她的画像酒，看起来简单、入口却很醇厚且有回味……看着她的画，初感觉温暖、然后你会静下来看进去与它对话，久而久之甚至也会默默落泪……

关于时间的传说I

很多人喜欢把艺术家归类，也许为了后来学习者更容易系统记忆吧。前段时间一直因为新冠疫情取消了很多旅行，正好在我工作地附近的两个美术馆有夏加尔展、和加埃塔诺.佩谢展，而这恰好也是古丽老师在2022年的展览《时间的温度》的时段，这三位中外新老的艺术家都是我感觉很难被分类的！浪漫主义、印象派、抽象派、超现实主义……他（她）们跟很多定义词都有关但又都不一致，反而有更加强烈的个人风格和独特的艺术魅力。我希望古丽老师用属于她的绘画语言继续前行，与世界交流，有一天她必将成为中国在全球最有影响力的一位艺术家。

我自己大学时代是在清华大学建筑系度过的，后来也从事设计行业多年，建筑设计是介于理性和感性之间、技术和艺术之间的学科。我用自己的创作体验去感受古丽老师的画，我想艺术对比科技最有魅力的地方就是每一位观众面对同一幅画看到的和理解的都是不同的，不像数学有公式、有定论……不同的人在古丽老师的同一幅画前会有不同的解读，在不同的画前被击穿……这也正是古丽老师喜欢的交流方式，她喜欢聆听每一位观众的反馈和属于他们的解读，并有意识的再放大这种交流产生的奇特效应，所以她的身边聚集了很多不同行业、不同国籍、不同性别、不同圈子的有趣的人，这也是她与她的作品与众不同的魅力之一。

同时，因为画面是艺术家自己对生活的记忆、理解和感悟，所以绘画本身就可以称作是一副作者的变相自画像。古丽老师本人安静内向、美丽善良、温柔细腻、阅历丰富、并有扎实的艺术功底，她的画如其人！当我们看到了古丽老师的画，哪怕只短暂的从画面前匆匆走过，都会有惊鸿一瞥、一眼千年的感觉。

从她的画里我们感受得到敬畏、悲悯、祝愿、凝望、怀恋、乡愁、亲情……她的画含蓄温婉如歌，她热爱人类历史上精美的遗存，捕捉那些记忆中不能忘却的美和它们背后的情感与精神，古丽老师通过多年自身专心专业的思考与实践，孕育出了属于她的独特的绘画语言……所以她常说，每一幅画都像是她的一个孩子！这句话的含义，也许我作为女性更容易懂……

记忆中的肖像－纯真年代I

我很有幸可以收藏古丽老师在中国美术馆那次《时间的颜色》展览中的重要作品之一《记忆中的肖像－纯真年代I》，不知为何，就是很让我想起我和我的弟弟少年时代的照片、想起爱我们的父母，我们曾经生活在一个充满爱的清贫且幸福的知识分子家庭，儿时的欢乐与宁静像画面里的色彩一样充满阳光与细节……

感谢古丽老师！感恩未来有这幅画的陪伴！爱的记忆将与我们长存……

Posture-Puppet

This is one of my favorite paintings. Shadow puppetry, as a very symbolic element, represents the illusory and imaginary part of our life. With the combination of horses, it has the charm of the Oriental Don Quixote’s bravado. The table is a very life scene objects. It is real and has a sense of existence, you can even feels its weight. The combination of the two in the same image produces some interesting chemical reactions, in a one-dimensional space to create a sense of sight in a three-dimensional space, it is real and illusory, and even somewhat ironic and absurd. Just like our daily life, that is, with the trivialities and bits and pieces of real firewood, rice, oil and salt, there are also poems and distant places, as well as the illusory meanings that we subjectively fabricated. Of course, life itself has absurd drama. Gulistan is a poetic observer of life. She always examines her surroundings with romantic personal feelings, which is reflected in her paintings, combining elements that ordinary people don’t notice very much, constructed her unique perspective of observation, which arouses the viewers into deep thinking, and also attracts the viewers to peep into the world in her eyes with curiosity.

姿态系列－中国玩偶

这是我非常喜欢的一张画，皮影戏作为一个很符号化的元素，代表我们生活中虚幻和想象的部分，加上马的组合，很有些东方堂吉柯德虚张声势的韵味。桌子是一个非常生活场景化的物件，实在，有存在感，你甚至能感受到他的重量。这两 者组合在同一画面，产生了一些很有意思的化学反应，在一个一维空间捏造出三维空间的即视感，即真实又虚幻，甚至有些反讽和荒诞。正如我们每天的生活，即有着真实柴米油盐的琐碎不堪和鸡零狗碎，也同时存在着诗和远方，以及我们主观捏造出来的虚幻意义，当然生活本身就具有荒诞的戏剧性。古丽是一个具有诗性的生活观察者，她总是带着浪漫的个人情怀去审视周遭，并在她的画作中体现，把常人不太会觉察到的元素组合在一起，构建了她的独特观察视角，引发观者陷入深深的思考，也吸引观者带着好奇去窥探她眼中的世界。

Memory of the portrait – Tribute to the classics

There is a sense of distance in viewing Gulistan’s paintings. This distance is reflected in time. The classical and romantic expressions of the characters in the paintings show a kind of alienation from the restless mentality of the contemporary people. This distance is manifested in space, a continental civilization that is far from the Pacific and Atlantic. This distance is reflected in the palette, where bright yellow and blue collide directly… Looking at these paintings makes me curious, I feel that the artist is in the picture, whether it is a figure, a flower, or a chair, it is the artist herself, she is waiting quietly in the sun. It is this sense of distance that produces a unique sense of beauty, In the quiet and restrained appearance, beating with the vitality of life.

As an architect, judging from my professional instinct, this distance can be measured. With this clear dimension of time and space, the audience enters into Gulistan’s paintings according to their own feelings and understandings, explores, confirms, and completes those blank images, which seem to be faded memories.

Gulistan’s paintings can present her own rich inner world, giving people a sense of depth and tranquility. Her cross-cultural, cross-regional, and cross-artistic vision can always inject the warmth of sunshine into people’s hearts and make people perceive the beauty of life.

记忆中的肖像-梦中的新娘

观看古丽老师的绘画作品会有一种距离感。这种距离体现在时间上，画中人物古典气质而浪漫的神情，与当代人躁动不安的心态呈现出一种疏离。这种距离体现在空间上，那是一种离太平洋和大西洋都很遥远的大陆文明。这种距离体现在调色板上，明快的黄与兰直接相撞…看着这些作品，会让我产生好奇心，感觉画家本人就在画面中，不论是人物、花卉，还是一把椅子，都是画家本人，她在阳光中静静的等待。正是这种距离感产生了一种独特的美感，在安静克制的外表，跳动着富有生命的活力。

我作为一个建筑师，从职业的本能判断，这种距离是可以度量的，有了这个清晰的时间、空间的维度，观众就根据自己的感受和理解进入古丽的作品当中，自己去探索，去印证，去完成那些留白的画面，似乎是褪色的记忆。

古丽的作品能够呈现出她本人丰富的内心世界，给人深邃和恬静的感觉。她跨文化的，跨地域，跨艺术界限的视野，总能给人内心注入阳光的温度，让人感知生命的美好。

Fairy garden IV

By chance, I met artist Gulistan at an exhibition at the National Art Museum of China. Like her own, her paintings are full of affinity, exuding peace and authenticity.

As a painter, nothing is more important than authentic expression. Because under the “real” brush, there will be works infused with heart.

In her paintings, even a flower and a leaf all reveal spiritual energy. It’s a brushstroke without pretentiousness, a sway without pretense. It’s the wisdom behind simplicity, naivety, and seemingly simple. All this makes me feel energetic life.

Since the advent of the camera in the early nineteenth century, people have had a new understanding of the nature of painting. Painting is no longer just an art that follows natural representations, or simulates a “mirror image” of reality. It will bring people more imagination space, even if it is a surreal, subjective world.

Gulistan’s work is her “existence”, but also belongs to the viewer. What she gives us is the opportunity to explore ourselves again and again, so that the people who stop there seem to touch a window inadvertently. After opening it, they will find that there is a world of their own.

A great artist goes deep into the space and incorporates her own spirit and breath into the work. Because it’s real, it’s alive, it’s life that infuses the heart with inspiration. So every time a piece of work is created, it no longer belongs to anyone. It travels in time, bringing warmth, breath, and charm to those who are destined to meet.

It was also that encounter that gave me the privilege of being in the time and space of Gulistan’s art and glimpsed the traces left by the pure soul across the sky.

Looking forward to meeting you, thanks for meeting!

关于时间的传说系列之II

一次偶然的机会，在中国美术馆画展上，遇见了艺术家Gulistan古丽斯坦。她的作品与本人一样，充满了亲和力，散发着平和与真实的气息。

作为一名画家，没有什么比真实的表达更重要的了。因为在“真实”的笔下，才会有将心注入的作品。

在她的绘画中，即便是一朵花，一片叶，也无不透露着灵气。那是没有矫揉造作的笔触，是没有装腔作势的挥洒。是单纯、天真和看似简单背后的智慧。这一切让我感受到了充满活力的生命。

自从十九世纪初照相机问世以来，人们便对绘画的本质有了重新的认识。绘画不再只是追随自然表象的艺术，或模拟现实的”镜像”。它会带给人们更多的想象空间，哪怕是超现实的，主观化了的世界。

Gulistan古丽斯坦的作品是她的“存在”，同时也属于观赏者的。她给予我们的是一次次探索自己的机会，让驻足的人们，像是不经意间触碰到了一扇窗，推开后会发现，那里竟然有着自己的世界 。

一个伟大的艺术家会深入空间，将自己的神与气融入到作品。因为它是真实的，是鲜活的，是将心注入以灵感之的生命。所以每当一件作品被创作出的那一刻，便不再属于任何一个人了。它游走在时间里，将温度、气息、神韵带给那些有缘相见的人。

也正是那一次遇见，才让我有幸置身在Gulistan古丽斯坦艺术的时空里，瞥见那颗纯净的心灵划过天空时留下的痕迹。

期待相逢，感谢遇见！
