渊薮唯有揭开虚情面纱，勇敢面对人性之恶，才能体验我在的真实，这也是存在主义的精髓，艺术家一直为此给哲学背书，古人有戈雅，博斯，近人则是培根，弗洛伊德。温情，以礼的面貌，给原本残酷的现实，罩上一层暖色，而一旦揭开，则是无法面对的苟且和不堪，印象派就好像那层纱，怎么看还都在审美之中，而随着塞尚进入物，原本被掩饰的本体，逐渐一层层展露。到了今天，太多人都无法欣赏苏丁，其实，也就没法直视人性之恶。刘梓峰，作为95后，身上流淌着摇滚的叛逆精神，在他的这批画作里，他又回到小时候秦皇岛海边，挖掘早已尘封的暗黑回忆。

The Abyss Only by removing the veil of hypocrisy and bravely facing the evil of human nature can we experience the reality of our existence. This is also the essence of existentialism. Many artists have endeavored to bring such abstract ideas into forms; the ancients, including Goya and Bosch, as well as the more recent ones such as Bacon and Freud. The tenderness of being, manifested as etiquette, covers the originally cruel reality with warmth; but once it is revealed, it becomes unbearable. Impressionism is like that veil: no matter how you look at it, it is still aesthetically intelligible. As Cézanne enters the object, the formerly concealed body is gradually revealed layer by layer. Today, too many people fail to appreciate Soutine -

they are unable or unwilling to stare at the evilness of human nature. Liu Zifeng, belonging to the post-95s generation, has the rebellious spirit of rock and roll flowing through him. In these paintings of his, he returned to the seaside of Qinhuangdao when he was a child, digging into the dark memories that had long been buried in the dust.
