  • 艺术风格 / Artistic Process

 

他最为著名的是那些与矫饰主义和巴洛克风格在美学上接近的人物肖像摄影。在这些肖像作品中,他捕捉到那些人类深层状态中的模糊性,这些人以这种状态为标志,或是自觉地遭受它的折磨。品卡瓦关于这些深邃神秘人物状态的表达包括一种精神性的、而非理性的忧郁,也就是说,一种饱含怜悯、渴望与希望的忧郁。

伊万·品卡瓦的肖像摄影抵制任何形式的简单阐释。它们是暧昧的,这种理性的暧昧是它们本质上的特性之一。照片中人物本身就永恒存有关于某种漂泊无依状态的矛盾性。他们可能是20世纪的逃亡者,伤痕累累又脆弱,为了神圣而大声疾呼。他们唤起了关于我们隐藏的欲望和信念的冲突;他们是我们日夜生活的投射;他们也是那些似乎知道如何进入自己的意志、无意识、灵魂深处的人,从何而来,重生和净化之后重新返回。他们让我们面对在现代生活中被压抑的特质——激情、浪漫、极端的情感、服输的能力——矛盾的是,这是通过它们在这些照片中永恒的缺失来传达的。同时,这些摄影作品以一种复杂的方式触及了人类关于生命意义最基本的问题,诸如死亡、永恒、失去的天堂、命运和赤裸的存在,这些都是欧洲艺术中的重要传统。似乎大多数艺术家的摄影作品主题都与这种笼罩着怀疑的希望有关,即坚信存在之物有其深刻的存在意义。

伊万·品卡瓦的作品看起来非常简单,他尝试使用最少的媒介,在这个意义上,我们可以称之为极简主义。但是,从形式上讲,他采用了所有可能的手段来实现这样精妙的效果。完美的构图、几乎是纳达里亚风格的光线以及艺术家在丰富的深色调基础上创作的出色原作,让其成为无法被替代的原作,它们可以被再次创作出来而不会丢失它们的美感。


He is known mostly as an artist of portraits frequently suggesting aesthetic connections with Mannerism and the Baroque. In his portraits he captures above all the profound ambiguity of man, who is marked by this state or consciously suffering from it. The expression of Pinkava’s statement on the situation of man exiled to mystery comprises spiritual, not intellectual, melancholy, that is to say, a melancholy capable of sympathy, desire, and hope.

The portraits of Ivan Pinkava strongly resist easy interpretation of any kind. They are based on ambiguity, and this intellectual ambiguity is one of their determining qualities. The beings portrayed in the photographs carry within themselves the utterly timeless conflict of a certain uprootedness. They could be some sort of twentieth-century deserters, scarred and fragile beings who cry out for sanctity. They remind us of the conflicts and clashes of our hidden desires and ideals; they are projections of our daily and nightly experiences; they are beings who would seem to know how to enter, of their own volition, their unconscious, their own dark depths, from whence, reborn and purged, they return. They enable us to confront ourselves with the suppressed qualities of the urban man - passion, romance, emotional extremes, the ability to give in -, paradoxically by their apparent external absence from these photographs. At the same time, these picture-photographs, in a sophisticated fashion, touch upon the most fundamental human questions about the meaning of life. The topics, such as death, eternity, lost paradise, destiny, the nakedness of being, are in the great tradition of the European fine arts. It appears that hope, as if masked with scepticism, is probably linked with the  theme of most of the artist’s photographs, the conviction that Being has its own profound existential meaning. 

The photographs of Ivan Pinkava are apparently conceived very simply; he tries to work with a minimal amount of media. In this sense we could call them minimalistic. Formally, however, they employ every possible means to achieve their masterly effect. The perfect composition, the almost Nadarian work with light, and the brilliant originals prepared by the author on the basis of a wealth of deep tones, allow for the creation of irreplaceable originals that can scarcely be reproduced without the photographs losing much of their beauty.
