王成宇,男,汉族,1976年生于辽宁省康平县, 1998年毕业于沈阳师范大学美术系,现工作室于奥加美术馆顶层艺术家驻留中心,奥加美术馆艺术顾问。
幽默感如此之细腻的画家,实在凤毛麟角---是那种不寻常的、优雅的,旨在拉近画家本人与观众,尤其是那些第一次走进他的艺术世界的观众之间距离的,而非那种仅仅意在挑衅和刺激观者感官的幽默感。
幽默感其实是一种社交技能——一种不带偏见地来表达“欢迎”二字的方式,也是一种表达自我的公开邀请,超越了人们通常在面对纯学术性的绘画作品或者漫步在满是时尚艺术画廊的小巷里时所做出的评论。尽管,那些时尚画作以一种雄辩的方式与观众的头脑和内心对话,却毫无睿智和深度可言。
他笔下的古代仕女,貌似安静,实则并不安分地站在权贵的身旁,又仿佛水仙子一般轻盈地在画布上跳动。
他的作品是内敛和含义隽永的,而非通过公开讨论或者无用的艺术辩论来表达。尽管如此,他始终秉持着这份诙谐与幽默。
王成宇看似故意地创作出了一些貌似滑稽愚蠢的人物,拉长了他们的身形,并顽皮地从中取乐。他非常擅长于此类创作,这种扭曲人物原型的创作折射出丰富的创造力,显示出熟练运用色彩并使之和谐呈现的技艺。 但很多时候,并不是色彩给他的画作赋予了生命;实际上恰恰相反,是生命给色彩增添了活力——当他用一笔漩涡吞没了一件汉服的时候,这一点尤为明显。
他是一个深邃的思想者,向天空中抛出绳梯,好像人们要脱离地面,从更高的角度思考,才能领悟到重要的真理;
他是位擅长从鲁迅的经典篇章当中找到创作灵感的思想者;
他是位有着精妙幽默感的思想者,却令人意外地对外形炫酷的跑车和大马力摩托车感兴趣。当他在头脑中勾画出明代学者驾车现代跑车时,他特有的幽默跃然纸上。
王成宇通过对一系列过去百年间他钟爱和厌恶的人物形象的进行艺术加工,他达到创作的艺术高峰。人们从他的作品中可以瞥见偶像现代艺术大师安迪·沃霍尔的风采。

Wang Chengyu Art Resume
Wang Chengyu was born in 1976 in Kangping county, Liaoning Province. Graduated from Shenyang Normal University in 1998, Wang Chengyu now is working as the art consultant at the Resident Artist Center of A.C Art Museum.
He is the artist who has the unique sense of humor - the unusual and elegant humor which aims at getting the artist close to the audience, especially to those who are the first time entering his art world.
Actually, the sense of humor is a kind of social skills for expressing the unprejudiced way of ‘welcome’, and the way of self-expressing which beyond the comments the audience would have when facing the purely academic paintings or walking in the art gallery. Meanwhile, these fashionable paintings are meaningless although they are communicating with the audience in an eloquent way.
The dynasty ladies he created were seemed to be quiet, but presented that they were jumping on the canvas like the water fairy, as they were not satisfied of just standing beside the privileged socialites.
Therefore, his artworks are introverted and meaningful while not expressing through the public or useless argument. In spite of this, he always keeps his unique sense of humor.
The artist himself seemed intentionally that created some funny or even silly characters in the way of prolonging their bodies. As a fact he is good at this kind of creation and it indicates the artist’s excellent skill of color use, as well as the wealth of creativity the artist has. However, it is the life itself adds vibrancy to the color while not the color endowed the paintings with life– especially when the artist drew the whirlpool to present the Chinese Clothing.
He is a deeper thinker who throws the rope ladder to the sky as to make people grasp the truth from the higher perspectives; who is good at finding the creation inspiration from Lu Xun’s classic chapters; who has the great sense of humor, and he applies the humor in his artworks by drawing a Ming dynasty scholar driving a modern car.
Wang Chengyu reaches the peak of the art by creating the characters of the past hundred years that he loves or not. Besides, people can experience the style of the modern art master Andy Warhol from his artworks.
