福建曾經是“吾道南移”的文化避難之地,現在的福建雕塑群雄紛紛殺出群山重圍,且呈風起云涌之勢。任宏偉閩北建甌人氏,其地乃宋代大儒朱熹古建州的教化之邦。其性情曠放,多才多藝。不泥小節,快人快語。畢業福建工藝美術學院雕塑專業,兼擅書畫、刻字,其書往往醉后,任筆為體,八面出鋒,猶見性靈。
相對于任宏感性一面,他的雕塑作品則體現出他深層的理性思考。
當你走近“十三億”雕塑,從大人到小孩都樂呵呵、齊刷刷在數錢的時候,你的下意識里大概也會用手比劃兩下這個動作,然后莫逆于心,相視而笑。消費時代也就是耗材時代。經濟與人口這一宏大主題,“十三億”是人口抑或是經濟,兩個不同的概念巧妙地合二為一。一家三口象征社會的單元,稀有的(熊貓)與泛濫的(人口),發展的(經濟)與抑制的(人口),不同圖式的意象疊加。雕塑不言,花下成蹊。不說而說,這是作品微笑背后給觀者的沉思。
嬰兒的作品是“十三億”系列的延伸,等于說是最近他又“添丁進財”了。在奶子房新的雕塑工作室(我戲稱為育嬰房),倒立的新生兒,還沒開眼,一個抓著一把鈔票,一個握著手槍,他們的臍帶連著到手中吃飯的“家伙”,這是他們入世的“胎盤”。
這一生存的圖式,滲透著社會的多元,交錯著世間千絲萬縷的關系網。這種復雜也意味著當代雕塑需要更深入關注多元社會的混合與交融,重要的不再是技術,而是于此透露出作品內在精神的“能見度”。如果說杜尚的作品帶有藝術“是什么”的棒喝,波依斯則用他生命的體驗告訴世人藝術就是“回向事物本身”。這二位當代藝術巨頭的大是大非之間,任宏偉選擇了自己的雕塑圖式,通過以象傳意路徑,抵達觀者的內心。
如是我觀。

My Opinion about “1.3 Billion”
Fujian province used to be the refuge for the culture extended to South China. Now, Fujian artists of sculpture become quite prominent with much influence. Born in Jian’ou of north Fujian where the famous scholar in Song Dynasty Zhu Xi initiated his education, Ren Hongwei is straightforward, unrestrained and versatile. Graduating from the sculpture department in Fujian College of Art & Design, Ren is skilled in painting, calligraphy and seal. He often creates calligraphy after drinking, and his style is flexible, unpredictable and carefree.
Compared with Ren’s emotional side, his sculptures reflect his profoundly rational contemplation.
When approaching the sculpture “1.3 Billion” and seeing that both the adults and children are smilingly counting money, the audience would probably imitate the gesture in sub-consciousness and then smile for understanding. Today is the times of consumption, and economy and population is a huge theme. Whether “1.3 Billion” is about population or economy is the tactful integration of these two different concepts. A family of three members representing the social unit, the rare (panda) and the overflowing (population), the developing (economy) and the restrained (population), images of different significance are overlapped. The sculpture is mute, however, it could attract numerous audience to walk towards it to form a path on the ground. Saying nothing but to enlighten the audience is the purpose of this sculpture, bringing meditation behind smiling.
The work of infant is the extension of the “1.3 billion” series, which means making a lot of money and having a baby born into the family. In his new sculpture studio in Naizifang, which I jokingly call “the nursery room”, each upside-down newborn baby with closed eyes takes a bunch of money in one hand and a gun in the other hand, and the umbilical cord is connected with the things in the hands, which is the placenta for it to enter the world.
This pattern of existence is permeated with social multiple elements and interwoven with complicated relation network. This intricacy also implies that contemporary sculpture needs more attention on the amalgamation of social multiple elements, and what’s important is the visibility of the work’s internal spirit instead of the skill. If Marcel Duchamp’s works enlighten us to think about what art is, the life experiences of Joseph Beuys tell the world that art is to return to the original appearance of the object itself. Among the concepts of these two contemporary art masters, Ren chooses his own pattern of sculpture to reach the audience’s internal world through the path of delivering meaning with image.
Abovementioned is my opinion.
