| Zhang Xiaogang Bloodline: Mother and Son No. 1 1993 oil and photo collage on canvas 115 x 146 cm 張曉剛《血緣:母與子 1 號》 1993 年作, 油畫及相紙拼貼於畫布, 115 x 146 公分 |
Created in 1993, the critical year when Zhang Xiaogang transitioned from previous explorations of Surrealism and Symbolism to his signature Realism, Bloodline: Mother and Son No.1 is the first work from the artist's historically important Bloodline series. It is also a highly personal work of art, as it features the artist himself and his mother. Zhang Xiaogang only produced two paintings on the mother-son theme, with the other being Bloodline: Mother and Son No.2 - now part of the collection of Fukuoka Museum of Art. Following the depiction of himself and his mother, the artist later extended the motif towards the entire family, giving rise to his iconic Bloodline: Big Family works that encapsulate the weight of society, history, and
Chinese identity.
《血緣‥母與子 1 號》創於 1993 年, 為張曉剛第一張《血緣》作品, 極具代表性。 當年張曉剛大膽拋開以往的超現實畫風及象徵符號, 轉而直面真實人物, 首次以血緣關係為題材創作《血緣‥母與子》。此系列僅只兩張, 其中《血緣‥母與子 2 號》已被日本福岡美術館收藏, 《血緣‥母與子 1 號》作品取材自藝術家及母親的自畫像, 極具私密性且影響深遠, 從母子關係, 擴展至後來的《血緣‥大家庭》系列, 讓藝術承載著社會、歷史及身份的重量, 是該批作品最經典之作。
