 前言 Introduction 

 

Mira Putnam的作品融合了各种叙事。她通过宣纸、再生塑料、西瓜子、发现的图像、水粉画和水彩画,探索了制图、历史、时间和空间之间的复杂关系。

Putnam的作品从本质上挑战了人们对时间线性的传统理解,而是拥抱了时间的分层性。受到庞贝古城马赛克和水乡古镇朱家角复杂图案的启发,历史和故事埋藏在每一块复杂的瓷砖和每条石雕水道之下,这些层次被隐喻性地描绘出来。马赛克的镶嵌图案与现代色彩系统交织在一起,创造了一种模糊时间界限的视觉对话。

Putnam作品中的编织图案代表了时间的相互联系和重写性 – 城市建立在城市之上,考古发现揭示了地板之下的地板。每一层 – 无论是古代马赛克、当代可塑性,还是抽象宇宙系统的表征 – 都同时存在,呼应着我们人类在时间中共同经历的复杂性。

Putnam从表面上思考时间的流动性和深度,将其视为一种直接邀请,让人们深入探究和联系编织在历史结构中的故事。通过将这些不同的元素融合成一个有凝聚力的整体,她不断寻求发现一种对我们这个世界的复杂性及其所包含的故事的惊奇和好奇感(对她自己和我们其他人而言)。

Redz 作品的主题围绕着探索当代城市环境中个人性格的自我决定。他的艺术深入探讨身份与周围环境之间的错综复杂关系,从世界历史中汲取灵感。通过传统和街头技巧的独特融合,Redz 的作品挑战观众思考自我身份的问题,将其他顾虑抛在脑后。他的叙事富有反思、比较和隐喻对称性,邀请观众更深入地参与他的艺术。
Mira Putnam’s work is a convergence of narratives. Through rice paper, recycled plastic, watermelon seeds, found imagery, gouache, and watercolor, she explores the intricate relationships between cartography, history, time, and space.
 At its core, Putnam’s work challenges the conventional understanding of time as linear and instead embraces its layered nature. Inspired by the ancient mosaics of Pompeii and the intricate motifs of the ancient water town Zhujiajiao, where histories and stories are buried beneath each intricate tile and each stone-carved waterway, the layers are depicted metaphorically. The mosaic’s tessellated patterns intertwine with a modern color system, creating a visual dialogue that blurs temporal boundaries.
The weaving motif within Putnam’s artwork stands in for the interconnectedness and the palimpsest of time—where cities are built upon cities and archaeological discoveries reveal floors beneath floors. Each layer—be it the ancient mosaic, the contemporary plasticity, or the representation of abstract cosmic systems—exists simultaneously, echoing the complexities of our shared human experience through time.
Putnam outwardly contemplates the fluidity and depth of time as a direct invitation to delve into and connect with stories woven into the fabric of history. By merging these disparate elements into a cohesive whole, she is continuously looking to discover a sense of wonder and curiosity about the intricacies of our world and the narratives it holds (for herself and the rest of us).
The theme of Redz work revolves around exploring the self-determination of an individual’s personality in a contemporary urban setting. His art delves into the intricate relationship between identity and the surrounding environment, drawing inspiration from the history of our world. Through a unique blend of traditional and street techniques, Redz pieces challenge viewers to contemplate questions about self-identity, leaving other concerns in the background, His narrative is rich in reflections, comparisons, and metaphorical symmetry, inviting audiences to engage with his art on a deeper level.
