「獨自演奏」望川 繪畫詩歌個展

我时常觉得自己的画有点像一颗射向了湖面的子弹。在晴朗的百无聊赖的下午，无风无云，一颗子弹毫无预兆就从枪口冲出，撞向湖面，钻入水底，没有人目击，除了短暂的水花和涟漪，世界很快就一切如常。可是，我知道的，那颗子弹在水里开出了花，炙热的温度也炸出了很多美丽的泡泡，那只岸边的水鸟，树木的倒影都看到了，只要作品创作出来了，天光云影也都是目击者。
我就是这样，无可救药的沉迷于这些荒诞的想象，像一个头脑发昏的迷宫设计者，造了一座只有入口，没有出口的迷宫，引诱每一个路过的人，让他们在里面走得晕头转向时忽然留意到原来迷宫的墙上有那么多美丽的痕迹，如蜗牛画出的世界地图，藤蔓编织的复杂纹样，枝叶的影子与跳动的光斑……美丽的陷阱，困住每一个还相信浪漫与想象的人。
我有太多的痴心妄想，但是只要还有一个人相信，这片痴心就不算妄想。

I often feel that my drawings are a little like a bullet fired into a lake. On a clear, uneventful afternoon, with no wind or clouds, a bullet suddenly bursts from the barrel without warning, strikes the surface of the lake, and sinks beneath the water. No one witnesses it. Apart from a brief splash and a few ripples, the world soon returns to normal. But I know that the bullet has blossomed into a flower beneath the water, its searing heat bursting into countless beautiful bubbles. The waterbird on the shore and the reflections of the trees have all seen it. Once a work has been created, even the light of the sky and the shadows of clouds become witnesses.

I am hopelessly absorbed in these absurd imaginings. I am like a dizzy labyrinth designer, building a maze with an entrance but no exit, luring in everyone who happens to pass by. Just when they have become disoriented, wandering in circles, they suddenly notice the beautiful traces left on its walls: world maps drawn by snails, intricate patterns woven by climbing vines, the shadows of branches and leaves, and dancing patches of light... Beautiful traps, ensnaring everyone who still believes in romance and imagination.

I have far too many fanciful dreams. But as long as there is still one person who believes, then this devotion cannot be called a delusion.
