展览前言

PREFACE

罗凯鹏的画，生动地表达了一个男孩在成长过程中对机械和工业的关注与想象，从生活中汲取灵感，创作出属于个人世界观中的生物，从海底到陆地到天空，在洛克的城市中徜徉。

从2016年到2018年，他的作品一直在变化、在成长，更有温度。他对家乡的热爱溢于言表，或许与儿时离开沈阳去新加坡生活的经历有关。童年对家乡的思念让他更珍惜城市的变迁，希望用画笔留下记忆，把这份情感寄托于作品之中。画面中的建筑、舰队和飞行器被赋予鲜明且特别的人物性格，比如《龟型工程舰》中的海龟用以比喻背负家庭和社会责任的男人，或者一位年长的父亲……蒸汽朋克风格的拼凑堆积、超现实的表现，让画面更深沉。

在城市系列作品中，融合了很多沈阳地标性建筑和东北老工业元素：彩电塔、中山广场、奥体中心，以及消失的夏宫和太阳鸟等等，这一切汇集在一个刚毕业的90后男孩的画作中，打动了很多老沈阳人。

“洛克之城”在接下来的一个月里将成为1905的一部分。当人们看到罗凯鹏所描绘的这座城市时，心底有关家乡的记忆也将被唤醒，我们成长中最珍贵的故事也许就发生在其中某处。希望当你走进1905艺术空间，可以在这里驻足、游走于洛克的“城市”之中，找到熟悉的回忆也遇见新鲜的创意。

Lockon’s works vividly express the attention and imagination of a boy to machinery and industry in the process of growing up. Creating a creature that belongs to the individual world view. From seafloor to land and to sky, you can always find them roaming in Lockon’s city.

From 2016 to 2018, Lockon’s works are changing and growing, more tender feelings can be found. He shows great love to the city he’s living and his hometown. Maybe it was related to the life experience of leaving Shenyang for Singapore when he was young. Yearning for home in his childhood memories made him cherish the change of the city. He hopes to lock more memories with his brush, and put semotion in each of his works as well. The architecture in the work is given adistinctive and special character, like Tortoise Engineering Ship, Lockon considers the turtles as men with heavy pressure, which comes from family or society. It can also be seemed as an elder father......The patching and mounting of steampunk, together with surrealistic expression, makes Lockon’s works more profound.

Lockon gathers plenty of Shenyang’s landmarks and industrial elements in the City series, such as Liaoning Radio and TV Tower, Zhongshan Square, Olympic Sports Center, the disappeared Xia Gong and Sunbird. You can find all these elements in the works of Lockon——a post 90s boy, who has just graduated from college. These works will touch many old shenyang citizens.

“LOCKON’S CITY” will be a part of 1905 Re-Creative Space in the following month. When people see the city depicted by Lockon, their memories about hometown will also be aroused. The most precious stories during our growing progress maybe started at somewhere in Lockon’s works. I hope everyone that comes into 1905 Art Space can stop here and wanders in Lockon’s city, finds familiar memories and fresh ideas.

展览作品系列介绍

INTRODUCTION

I《城市系列》

这一系列包括《天坛之城－洛克城》、《军舰之城—沈阳号》、《童话之城－索菲亚》，作者找到自己家乡最具代表性的元素和地标建筑融入其中。在作品中可以找到熟悉的辽宁舰、老北站、辽宁大剧院、彩电塔、怀远门、三好桥、奥体中心和1905文化创意园等等。虽然有些建筑已经从这座城市中消失，但是记忆不会被时间消磨。繁密的绘画语言，怀柔与刚强，梦幻地拼凑在一起，这也体现了蒸汽朋克的拼凑美学和堆积美学。创新与想象在这个系列的作品中得到更深层次的表达。一切的灵感来源于城市，也融合了许多东北老工业元素。

“City of Temple of Heaven”, “City of Warships—Shenyang” and “City of Fairy Tales—Sophia” are included in this series of works. The artist seeks the most representative elements and landmarks in his hometown, then integrates them into his works. You can find many familiar buildings and landmarks in those works, including Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning. Some of them have disappeared in this city. There are also landmarks like the old Shenyang north railway station, Shenyang Poly Grand Theatre, Liaoning Radio and TV Tower, 1905 Re-Creative Space is included as well. The dense painting language, soft and strong, is put together in a dreamy way, which also reflects the aesthetics of steampunk. Innovation and imagination are more deeply expressed in this series of works. All the inspirations come from the city, which also combine many old industrial elements in northeast China.

I《奇怪的洛克城系列》

这几件作品创作于2018年初。洛克城是一座独立的小城，有保障安全的军事旗舰、供应日常生活的补给船只、完成建设的工程舰队……每件作品对应着一群人。洛克之城，我们的城。

将海洋生物和城市融合在一起，作者以拟人化的方式赋予每件作品独特的性格。“可靠的父亲”、“像海龟一样的男人”、“肚子空空的水母”，他们是有生命的城堡，是游走在洛克城中的生物。这个系列还在继续，继续壮大。

This series of works were created at the beginning of 2018. Lockon’s city, an independent small town, with military flagships for security, supply ships for daily life and fleets of engineering ships for construction... Each piece of work corresponds to a group of people. Lockon’s city, our city.

Merging together marine lives and city, the artist gives each piece of work a unique character in an anthropomorphic way. Figures like “reliable father”, “man like a turtle”, “jellyfish with an empty belly”, they are living castles, creatures that wander in Lockon’s city. This set continues, and will go on growing.

I《飞行器系列》

这一系列的创作灵感来源于艺术家年少时对天空的幻想。作者最喜欢早期人类制造的飞机，裸露的铆钉与电线、复古的造型会让观者穿越回蒸汽时代。想象力与科技感在蒸汽朋克的绘画风格中最为突出，作品展现的是一个平行于19世纪西方世界的架空世界观，营造出虚构和怀旧感。

提及对天空的幻想，每个人心中都有过征服天空的梦。这一系列的每件作品都有鲜明的个性设定，而它们背后的故事则留给观者无限的想象空间。所有的飞行器，《世纪号飞机》和《05号飞行器》，都漂浮在洛克城的上空。

The inspiration comes from the artist’s fancy toward sky when he’s a teenager. Airplanes manufactured by early human beings are the artist’s favourite. Exposed rivets and wires constitute retro style, which will bring the audience back to the Age of Steam. Imagination and technology are both the most prominent characteristics in the painting style of steampunk.This series of works shows an imaginary world that is parallel to the western world in the 19th century, which create a sense of fiction and nostalgia.

Every human will dream of conquering sky deep inside of their hearts. This series of works has a distinct personality, and the story behind them is left to the audience’s infinite imaginary. All of the aircrafts are floating above the sky of Lockon’s city, such as “The ‘Century’ Plane” and “Flight No.05”.

I《海洋系列》

该系列创作于2016年，受《哈尔的移动城堡》影响较多。作者在日常生活中汲取灵感，结合人类表情和建筑、机械结构，以一种有趣的方式呈现海洋生物。在作品中，我们可以看到螃蟹、三文鱼、蓝鲸、火虾、剑鱼、金鱼......它们是洛克之城的雏形，即“将看似不同的东西堆起来”的最初尝试。该系列作品开始呈现本土化趋势。

This series of works was created in 2016, which is under the influence of the Japanese cartoon Howl’s Moving Castle. Gaining inspirations from ordinary life, combining human’s facial expressions with buildings and machines, the artist presents marine lives in an interesting way. We can see animals like crabs, salmons, blue whales, shrimps, swordfish, and goldfish, etc in those works, which constitute the rudiment of Lockon’s City, that is the artist’s first attempt of piling up seemingly different things. This series of works started to have the trend of localization.
