邓箭今作品所吸引我的是其画面效果,而非作品所表达的主题。对我而言,他的主题过于“极端”。我欣赏其作品中如流水般的材料运用,给人一种水墨写意画的感觉(写意是水墨画技巧中最为自由和大胆的一种)。我注意到其作品中的人物总是带有他本人的影子。我想他可能通过绘画为自己创造出了一个全新而又迷人的想像世界。

What attracts me is the screen effect of Deng Jianjin’s works but not the theme they express. For me, his theme is too “extreme”. I appreciate the material use like flowing water in his works, leaving a sense of freehand brushwork of ink painting (freehand brushwork is the freest and boldest way in ink painting). I notice that the figures in his works always have his own shadow. I think he might create a totally new and charming imaginative world for himself by his painting.
