当初在新大陆上的第一脚,就踏在纽约的地皮上。从此和纽约缠绵多年,喜好厌恶交织。
在街头顺手抓拍几张照片,按心里的印象作成版画效果。如果有时间画纽约的话,也就是画成这样了。 这几幅是用白天的照片“做”成的。黑色上是夸张了些。把纽约的生活中西部、南部的生活相比,在纽约可以活得很精彩,很有色彩,但却不轻松。精彩的同时负荷重得多。今天正好在纽约的办公室,和同事聊天说到,每次到纽约来,中午比在中部都要饿得早。大家说可能一是空调温度低些,二是纽约的节奏快些,热量消耗就大些。有的同事说每天回到了新泽西车站,走路不自觉地都马上比在纽约街头慢些。
纽约的精彩,和外部的陈旧和冷酷差异很大,要进到“里面”才能“尝”到。它在文化和生活里的丰富,不是走马观花从外面能真正了解。而每个人能够经历领会到的丰富和精彩,还看各人在什么圈子生活,自己在情趣注意力上的取舍。光怪陆离,丰富多彩这样的词,还是用在黑色的后面比较合适。纽约和纽约人一样,从外表上,要比它的内部世界生硬、冷漠、沉重的多。
用在这里的重重的黑色,一是觉得比较符合自己对纽约的外表形象的印象,二是很喜欢黑色在版画里使色彩对比更强烈绚丽,留下很丰富的想象空间。 要做版画,我肯定对黑色有特别的偏爱。用一个黑色在不同的图画里表达赤橙黄绿青蓝紫的不同情调,是个很有趣的游戏。
最后放一首有关纽约的歌。。。 Hey There Delilah by Plain White T‘s
