「是否一切存在的，都是我們相信的。」

藝術家最珍貴的本質之一就是思考和創造。馮碩，一個在沉默中思考，在沉默中創造的藝術家。他所創造的畫面中，無論是人物還是動物，所呈現的扭曲姿態、抑鬱且自戀的神情，好似一場顛倒夢想。而這些畫面正是這些年所陪伴他的，畫中的角色似乎像他的家人，在輪回中不斷變換著角色。馮碩個展《存在》展場照片。圖/李家怡提供

什麼樣的存在是我們所深信的，或許我們是矛盾的。正因為矛盾產生質疑，而矛盾給我們帶來思考。偉大的藝術作品可以帶給我們不一樣的衝擊力，而矛盾的思考可以打開另一個空間。因為矛盾，讓我們看到不一樣的自己。矛盾之後可以讓我們看到和諧和真誠。這樣的思考，在佛教中稱之為懷疑，出現懷疑才會思考，才會相信，這也是宇宙核心的進步力量。

馮碩所創作的畫面為我們提出思考的空間，相信每個人都會在他的作品畫面中找到解讀和對話的頻道。他所創造地「白日夢想」是抽象的，卻是直入人心的。同時在繪畫技法上，可見下筆之處的渾厚功底，流暢的造型能力，賦予畫面靈動的層次。馮碩平日的生活可以用風輕雲淡來形容，或許越是這樣簡單樸素的生活，越讓他保持著純真和清淨的視角。還記得2008年我時任美國紐約馬樂伯畫廊中國代表，馮碩在馬樂伯SOHO 畫廊的個展中巧遇Paula Rego，雙方雖語言不通卻通過彼此作品相互欣賞。

馮碩的繪畫語言是強大而且獨特的，而我相信在他畫面中更深層的語言是愛，因為愛的存在是無限。或許在他的作品中，為我們呈現了一個完全不同的存在維度。

The Existence— Shuo Feng Solo Show

This autumn on October, from 22nd to the end of the month,  Z+1 Gallery is very fortunate to collaborate with HengShan HOUSE in Shanghai to launch Shuo Feng Solo Show ‘Existence’, thank you for your support and participation of the show. Z+1 Beijing will continue to bring to you the solo show in Beijing after October.

This solo show is a retrospective that collects more than forty works of the artist throughout more than ten years, present to you the crucial threads of thought and contexts of the artists body of work.

‘’Does everything that exists simply exist because we believe in it?‘’

One of the most precious qualities of an artist is the ability to think and create. Feng Shuo, an artist who contemplates and creates in silence, crafts scenes in his paintings that, whether they depict people or animals, showcase distorted postures and a depressed, narcissistic demeanor, resembling an inverted dream. These images, which have accompanied him over the years, feature characters that seem like family, constantly changing roles in the cycle of life.

What we firmly believe in might be contradictory. It is this contradiction that raises questions and prompts thought. Great artworks can deliver a unique impact, and contradictory thoughts can open up new realms.

Contradiction allows us to see different versions of ourselves, leading to harmony and sincerity after the resolution of these contradictions. Such contemplation, known as doubt in Buddhism, is crucial for thinking and belief, forming a core progressive force in the universe.

Feng Shuo's paintings offer a space for thought, where everyone can find their own interpretations and engage in dialogue with his works. His "daydreams" are abstract yet strikingly heartfelt. His painting technique reveals a profound foundation and fluid sculpting ability, bringing dynamic layers to his works.

Feng Shuo's daily life, described as serene and untroubled, perhaps allows him to maintain a pure and clear perspective. I recall in 2008, while I was the Chinese representative for the Marlborough Gallery in New York, Feng Shuo encountered Paula Rego at his solo exhibition in Marlborough's SOHO gallery. Despite the language barrier, there was mutual admiration through their works.

Feng Shuo's painting language is powerful and unique. I believe that a deeper layer in his works is love, as the existence of love is boundless. Perhaps in his works, he presents us with a completely different dimension of existence.
