杜平让“Power of Life”2009展

杜平让的绘画作品，具有强烈个性色彩和鲜明的时代气息，他是在崭新的个性化的形式语言创造中，不仅突现出传统工笔画和水墨画的本真精神的融合，而且在他的作品中，工笔的造型传神，勾勒敷色，写意的章法的聚散开合以及墨色的干、湿、浓、淡、焦，无不构成了有如视觉听觉化的音乐一般的动人心魄的旋律。从画面的造型勾勒表现，到画面的赋色渲染，乃至到作品章法境界的图式构成语言，都无不是在极其讲究技巧的行为过程中，被创造、被表现出来的。所以他的作品，也就有了特殊的学术说服力。

技术语言的主体性，在杜平让的绘画中，是一个多层面的、立体的由诸多问题交叉集结成的一个交集。在这之中，他极为到位地解决了艺术功能与现代人的审美需要及其价值与意义，乃至，同时还解决了诸如现代人难于理解的传统艺术观念中的心物关系等等诸多美学问题。

 杜平让的绘画，是感性的，但也是学术的。他的画，既具有鲜明的民族特色，但又是现代的。他能够不断的从自己的艺术实践中，以艺术的方式，提升出属于自己的理性思维，并用这种理性思维，指导着自己的艺术实践，然后，他还会再在这样的艺术实践中，再度提升出崭新理论思维用于他的创作实践。如此循环往复，步步为营，勇攀高峰。他不是一个浅尝辄止者，他的绘画艺术，就是因此而可以被载入当代中国画艺术发展史史册的——他以超越古今态的学理研究，巅峰状的实践热情，推动了他的创作激情，而终于让我们能够看到他那一幅幅具有持久美学张力的画面。（傅京生）
