Mary Corse Biography

玛丽‧阔思(Mary Corse)艺术实践的核心在于对主观体验光和色彩的兴趣。作为美国"光与空间运动"艺术家成员,玛丽‧阔思以其灯箱和单色绘画而闻名,这些绘画是由丙烯酸涂料和玻璃微珠的独特混合物制成。

"光与空间运动"起源于1960年代的南加州,是一群松散、共同喜欢探索感知现象,并开创了在艺术中以非常规的方式使用塑料、玻璃、树脂和霓虹灯荧光灯来创作的艺术家群体。[詹姆斯‧特瑞尔(James Turrell)][0],[罗伯特‧欧文(Robert Irwin)][1]和[约翰‧麦克拉肯(John McCracken)][2]等艺术家在一定程度上受到加利福尼亚州灿烂的风景、炫目的阳光、海洋和冲浪文化的影响,从而形成了专注于完美抛光的表面和简约的抽象形式的视觉美学。作为与该运动相关的少数女性艺术家之一,阔思的贡献直到最近才得到认可。与其它成员相似,她也将知觉作为主观体验,但发展出了一种与运动中的其他人迥异的独特手法,包含着艺术家之手的精巧痕迹。

在整个职业生涯中,阔思都尝试将"光"嵌入到她的绘画中,尤其着重于白光。从1966年开始,阔思开始创作一系列灯箱的作品,这些灯箱包括用荧光灯照明的有机玻璃,以及后来用氩气填充的灯管。在另一个名为"电灯"(Electric Light)(1968)的系列作品中,她研究了量子物理学和无线连接,用以创建悬挂在天花板上的绘画。也是在这一年中,阔思发现了将丙烯酸涂料与微球玻璃珠(用于在高速公路上标记公路分隔线的玻璃反射珠)混合的可能性,这成为她作品的标志风格。

1960年代,阔思专注于全白色绘画,而在随后的十年中,开始引入黑色。例如,["黑光画"系列(Black Light Painting,1975)][3]描绘了白色和黑色四边形。通过绘制丙烯酸方格和含有玻璃微珠的丙烯酸涂料绘制黑色部分,阔思将通常被认为是没有光的黑色转变为发光的阴影。

阔思不断发展光的实验是基于她的信念,即根据光和视角,使用单色创作的可能性阈值很宽广。从一个角度来看,她的丙烯酸画似乎看上去是不间断的单色网格。但是,从另一个角度看,笔触和玻璃微珠的不同纹理变得可见,从而改变了同一作品的视觉印象。从1996年起,阔思使用"内带"(由白色和灰色阴影交替排列而成的组合)扩展了这种视觉上的错觉,当观看者改变位置时,垂直条纹出现或消失。

阔思1963年毕业于洛杉矶乔纳德艺术学院(现为加州艺术学院),获得文学学士学位,1968年于同一所学校获得艺术硕士学位。她的展览,包括西雅图美术馆(2015);密歇根大学艺术博物馆,安娜堡(2014);保罗·盖蒂博物馆,洛杉矶(2011);格罗皮乌斯·鲍(Gropius Bau),柏林(2011)和圣地亚哥当代艺术博物馆(2011)。2018年,[惠特尼美国艺术博物馆][4]组织了阔思首个调查式艺术家个展"光影调查"( A Survey in Light,展期:2018年6月8日至11月25日),2019年巡展至洛杉矶LACMA(展期:2019年7月28日至11月11日)。

目前艺术家在洛杉矶生活与工作。—[O]
