紐約印象

(2008-07-24 09:43:41) 下一個
當初在新大陸上的第一腳,就踏在紐約的地皮上。從此和紐約纏綿多年,喜好厭惡交織。

在街頭順手抓拍幾張照片,按心裏的印象作成版畫效果。如果有時間畫紐約的話,也就是畫成這樣了。
 
這幾幅是用白天的照片“做”成的。黑色上是誇張了些。把紐約的生活中西部、南部的生活相比,在紐約可以活得很精彩,很有色彩,但卻不輕鬆。精彩的同時負荷重得多。今天正好在紐約的辦公室,和同事聊天說到,每次到紐約來,中午比在中部都要餓得早。大家說可能一是空調溫度低些,二是紐約的節奏快些,熱量消耗就大些。有的同事說每天回到了新澤西車站,走路不自覺地都馬上比在紐約街頭慢些。

紐約的精彩,和外部的陳舊和冷酷差異很大,要進到“裏麵”才能“嚐”到。它在文化和生活裏的豐富,不是走馬觀花從外麵能真正了解。而每個人能夠經曆領會到的豐富和精彩,還看各人在什麽圈子生活,自己在情趣注意力上的取舍。光怪陸離,豐富多彩這樣的詞,還是用在黑色的後麵比較合適。紐約和紐約人一樣,從外表上,要比它的內部世界生硬、冷漠、沉重的多。

用在這裏的重重的黑色,一是覺得比較符合自己對紐約的外表形象的印象,二是很喜歡黑色在版畫裏使色彩對比更強烈絢麗,留下很豐富的想象空間。 要做版畫,我肯定對黑色有特別的偏愛。用一個黑色在不同的圖畫裏表達赤橙黃綠青藍紫的不同情調,是個很有趣的遊戲。

最後放一首有關紐約的歌。。。
 

Hey There Delilah by Plain White T‘s

hey there delilah
whats it like in new york city
im a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
yes you do
time square cant shine as bright as you
i swear its true
hey there delilah
dont you worry about the distance
im right there if you get lonely
give this song another listen
close your eyes
listen to my voice its my disguise
im by your side
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me
hey there delilah
i know times are gettin hard
but just believe me girl
someday ill pay the bills with this guitar
we'll have it good
we'll have the life we knew we would
my word is good
hey there delilah
ive got so much left to say
if every simple song i wrote to you
would take your breath away
id write it all
even more in love with me youd fall
we'd have it all
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
a thousand miles seems pretty far
but they've got planes and trains and cars
id walk to you if i had no other way
our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
that none of them have felt this way
delilah i can promise you
that by the time that we get through
the world will never ever be the same
and youre to blame
hey there delilah
you be good and dont you miss me
two more years and youll be done with school
and ill be makin history like i do
you know its all because of you
we can do whatever we want to
hey there delilah heres to you
this ones for you
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me
whooo...oh
