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！

The most touching thing about Gulistan’s paintings is the pure sense of tranquility and harmony that is far away from the chaos of the world. It contains the aesthetics of European music in the 17th century, and the balanced and harmonious counterpoint of the Renaissance church music master Palestrina seems to be on paper. The vivid works of this different series are a modern person’s memory and nostalgia for that glorious era. The mind seems to transcend the barriers of time and space, cruising in a higher dimension. Gulistan’s paintings have the breath of musical syntax, accentuated pauses, and more blank spaces like large rests. The connection and transition of music and sound, shuttle between the light and shadow of color, showing a driving force of inner growth. It seems to be a frozen picture, as if it is a flowing music, silently evolving in the midst of history. In silence, it slowly settles into a unique portrait of Shen Yun. Did you notice that look? What this gaze contains is the simplicity and cleanliness of human nature inherited from Giotto and Raphael; it is the pursuit of a free spirit that transcends the instinct of Beethoven and Delacroix; it is Mozart’s pursuit of the world. sympathy and nostalgia; the whimsy and vigor of Schumann and ETA Hoffmann. Everything is contained in the harmonious and beautiful picture, which is fascinating.

姿态系列-乔托树

Gulistan古丽斯坦的绘画最让人感动的，是那种纯粹的、远离世俗纷乱的宁静感与和谐感。它蕴涵了17世纪欧洲音乐的审美，文艺复兴时代教堂音乐巨匠帕莱斯特里纳平衡和谐的对位法仿佛跃然纸上。这不同系列的一幅幅生动作品，是一个现代人对那个辉煌时代的回忆和留恋。心灵仿佛超越了时间和空间的阻隔，在一个更高维度中游弋。Gulistan古丽斯坦的绘画中有音乐句法的呼吸、有重音的顿挫、更有大片休止符一般的留白。音乐和声的连接与过渡，在色彩的光影之间穿梭，呈现出一种内在生长的原动力。看似一副凝固的画面，仿佛是流动的乐音，在历史苍桑中默默演变。无声无息之中，慢慢沉淀成为一副神韵独特的肖像。你注意到那眼神了吗？这凝视中所蕴含的，是从乔托、拉斐尔中传承的人性的淳朴和洁净；是贝多芬和德拉克洛瓦那种超越了本能的对于自由精神的追求；是莫扎特那般对人世的悲悯和留恋；是舒曼和ETA霍夫曼那种奇思妙想和生机勃勃。所有的一切，都蕴含在和谐唯美的图景之下，令人神往。

Posture-Pine Tree

Gulistan’s paintings have both the overall idea of super realism and the presentation of realistic details. Just like the Magic Movies in Hollywood, they give people a wonderful feeling of reality and fantasy. Painters are good at putting different kinds of things existing in different time and space in the same picture. For example, they put the horse of Lang shining on the classical furniture, and juxtapose the flowers and birds of the Song Dynasty with the ancient Greek statues, so as to create the artistic tension effect of “twisting irrelevant things together” similar to the metaphor in the English metaphysical poetry. Another characteristic of her paintings is the quiet atmosphere and elegant color, which may be related to the theme of still life antiques, but perhaps more revealed is the painter’s character and interest.

姿态系列－中国玩偶

Gulistan古丽斯坦的绘画既有超写实的整体构思，又有写实的细节呈现，就像好莱坞的魔幻影片一样，给人以一种亦真亦幻的奇妙感觉。画家善于把现实中存在于不同时空里的不同类别的事物放置在同一个画面里，例如把郎世宁的马放在古典家具上，把宋人花鸟与古希腊雕像并置，从而营造出类似英国玄学诗中的奇喻那样“把不相干的事物强扭在一起”的艺术张力效果。其作品的另一特点是气氛的静谧，色彩的淡雅，这也许与题材多为静物古董有关，但也许更多透露的是画家的性格和趣味。

Gulistan古丽斯坦首先是她绘画所表达的空间的非常辽阔的，把世界文化作为他创作的一个图象来源。世界各国的这种文化，还有一个不是画现实生活的一个艺术家，她是一个不生活在现实中的，一个生活在历史中的记忆中的艺术家。这个在女艺术家非常少见，因为女艺术家往往是感性的，特别是对有一些女性自身的生活，这个是跟女性画家的矛盾，她自己的心理感受，她的生活，以及她周边的世界。但是Gulistan古丽斯坦的作品，跟现实生活没有关系，她生活在一个历史的记忆中，因此她的大部分都是以记忆作为她的作品系列的这种这种记忆它是一个时间的维度，这个时间的维度跨度也非常大，我看这里头的图象，从罗马、中世纪，然后还有中国古代的这些艺术就是图象，都成为创作的来源。

记忆中的肖像－莫斯科的天空

我们看到，她是理性的，她来自智力，她也是理性的细腻，她不但有感激色彩，在他的绘画创作中我们看到了一种对艺术的一种淡淡的一种忧伤，而且他描绘的不是历史的场景，是历史的一些碎片，一些现代式的一些印象。把不同的碎片没有关联的东西留在一起，构成碎片式的文化景观。这个在使得她的绘画在空间上和时间上都有一个比较宽广的形式。

那么在Gulistan古丽斯坦这个里头她的画里面这个特质，所以她的画有一种特别的优雅，而且她的绘画从语言风格上来讲，她的色彩画面上有一种湿壁画，欧洲湿壁画的一种支杆，就是好像有一种画内本身就好像经过了这种历史、时间形成的朦胧的感觉。她可能是记忆永远是模糊的，她不是清晰的，她的湿壁画来自欧洲传统，这么一种质感。所以她的绘画，实际上她是一种丰富的文化内涵的一种对话，所以她的绘画是比一般的观念绘画耐看，她多了一般的观念绘画所没有的这种情感和色彩，和一种温度。这是她的一种特有的一种风格，也是她的个性化的一种创造。

First of all, Gulistan expresses a very vast space in her paintings, and takes world culture as an image source for his creation. In this kind of culture all over the world, there is an artist who does not paint real life. She is an artist who does not live in reality, but an artist who lives in the memory of history. This is very rare among female artists, because female artists are often emotional, especially for some women’s own lives. This is a contradiction with female painters, her own psychological feelings, her life, and the world around her. But Gulistan’s works have nothing to do with real life. She lives in a historical memory, so most of her works are based on memory. This kind of memory in her series of works is a dimension of time. The dimension span of time is also very large. I see the images here, from Rome, the Middle Ages, and ancient China. These arts are images, and they have become the source of creation.

Essence of Memory IV

We see that she is rational, she comes from intelligence, she is also rational and delicate, she is not only grateful, but in his painting creation we see a kind of light sadness towards art, and he depicts It is not a historical scene, but some fragments of history, some modern impressions. Keep different pieces of unrelated things together to form a fragmented cultural landscape. This makes her paintings have a relatively broad form in space and time.

Well, in Gulistan, there is this quality in her paintings, so her paintings have a special elegance, and in terms of language style, her paintings have a kind of fresco, a kind of European fresco. This kind of strut seems to have a hazy feeling that the painting itself seems to have passed through this kind of history and time. She may be that her memory is always vague, she is not clear, her frescoes come from European traditions, such a texture. Therefore, her paintings are actually a dialogue with rich cultural connotations, so her paintings are more attractive than ordinary conceptual paintings. She has such emotions and colors that ordinary conceptual paintings do not have. kind of temperature. This is a unique style of hers and a creation of her personality.

Gulistan’s paintings give people an infinite reverie, just like herself, fresh, elegant, beautiful, and a little sad. In this social environment where money is paramount, material desires are rampant, and beliefs are barren, it is really commendable to be able to preserve such a pure land that is both quiet and clean. Evaluating whether a person is strong or weak cannot be based solely on gender and appearance. Gulistan’s seemingly weak and watery appearance has a tough and strong heart that is not inferior to men, which I admire and respect. The artist expresses her concepts and perceptions of the world through her works, and people also learn about the artist through her works.

Memory of the portrait －Tower on red background

Most of Gulistan’s figure paintings are female heads, which are images in the memory that are vague and want to be preserved between the real and the imagined. The beauty of a person’s appearance is only a fleeting moment in the long history, and it is photos, videos and paintings that can retain that moment, and only paintings can show the author’s understanding and interpretation of the inner temperament of the characters, not just copying. The characters painted by Gulistan hide a strong story under the faint lines, and the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. The buildings painted by Gulistan only occupy one-third of the picture, and two-thirds are blue sky. Although it is a royal building with a large glazed tile roof, the author’s blurring expresses her ideas and feelings, that any artificial No matter how grand the architecture is, it will always be small compared to nature. This is the philosophy I see from this painting.
