从上世纪的实验水墨到本世纪的当代水墨，水墨的现代性进程发生了逐渐地分化与消长、孤独地修正与自洽，多维度地坚守与深入的过程。

在当代艺术的语境中传统艺术媒材从中体西用到熔古铸今，也是一个从文化自觉到文化自信的创造过程。

From experimental ink painting of the last century to contemporary ink painting of the present century, the modern evolution of ink art has undergone a gradual process of differentiation and fluctuation, solitary correction and self-consistency, as well as multidimensional persistence and deepening.

Within the context of contemporary art, the transformation of traditional artistic media—from the principle of “Chinese essence with Western application” to the integration of ancient traditions with contemporary innovation—has also been a creative journey from cultural self-awareness to cultural confidence.

在这样一个各种文化犬牙交错的实践中，媒材的研究与图式的锤炼，有无所不用其极的制作派与坚守传统的书写派。程仲泉是一个起步于制作最终走向书写的当代水墨画家。

Amid such a complex field where different cultures intersect and contend, the study of media and the refinement of visual forms have produced both artists who push material techniques to the extreme and those who remain devoted to the traditional spirit of brush writing. Cheng Zhongquan is a contemporary ink artist who began with technical construction and eventually moved toward brush-based expression.

众所周知实验水墨是在工作室里对传统媒材各种维度的解构发韌的，如果说黑白光影+水墨是现代水墨的起点，那么现代主义+水墨是当代水墨的基本表征，程仲泉早期的人物水墨画，就从黑白构成入手，她很快就从意象的人物造型走向抽象的肌理制作，但她不沉缅依赖于制作派的肌理效果，在黑白灰的图象处理中坚持用毛笔塑形写意。于是2018年就有了一批充滿奇异想象的图式问世。

As is widely known, experimental ink painting originated from the studio-based deconstruction of traditional media across multiple dimensions. If black-and-white light and shadow combined with ink formed the starting point of modern ink painting, then modernism combined with ink became the basic feature of contemporary ink. Cheng Zhongquan’s early figure paintings began with black-and-white composition. She soon moved from imagistic figure modeling toward abstract textural construction. Yet she did not indulge in, nor become dependent on, the surface effects of texture-making. Instead, within her treatment of black, white and grey imagery, she persisted in using the brush to shape forms and convey expressive intent. Thus, in 2018, a group of works filled with strange and extraordinary imagination came into being.

我们不能说她的图式开局即颠峯，但她那别具一格似云非云云障雾罩的神秘感却让人过目难忘。让人惊异的是她不但与他人拉开距离，也尽量不重复自己，不断颠覆自己，这种图式不重样的丰富性，或许只有在云贵高原复杂多变云雾缭绕的浸泡中才能孕育程仲泉这样变幻莫测的图式，她生于斯长于斯，她童年的记忆与青春印记都在崎岖不平的山脉、湍流不止的水系中形成，留下了地支系列的《2018A3号》、《2018A3号》、《2019A2号》、《2022A1号》、《2024A4号》、《2025A10号》、《2025A14号》、《2025A15号》、《2025A16号》。而高原辽阔的云天她完成了天干系列，有《2018A4号》、《2018A8号》、《2019A5号》、《2019A6号》、《2020A4号》。云气云雾一片苍茫她有感而发创作了混沌系列，有《2018A7号》、《2025A9号》等。

We cannot say that her visual language reached its peak from the very beginning, but the distinctive sense of mystery in her works—neither cloud nor mist, veiled as if by vapor and shadow—left a lasting impression. What is striking is that she not only distances herself from others, but also tries not to repeat herself. She continually overturns her own visual patterns. This richness of ever-changing imagery may only be nurtured in the complex, shifting, cloud-wreathed atmosphere of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Cheng was born and raised there; her childhood memories and youthful impressions were formed among rugged mountain ranges and ceaselessly flowing water systems. From this emerged her Earthly Branches Series, including 2018A3, 2018A3, 2019A2, 2022A1, 2024A4, 2025A10, 2025A14, 2025A15, and 2025A16. Under the vast cloud-filled skies of the plateau, she completed her Heavenly Stems Series, including 2018A4, 2018A8, 2019A5, 2019A6, and 2020A4. Inspired by the boundless atmosphere of cloud and mist, she also created her Chaos Series, including 2018A7, 2025A9, and others.

最引人注目的是她那非云非雾似梦似幻的云图腾系列，有《2019A3号》《2019A4号》、《2018A7号》、《2020A1号》、《2020A2号》、2021A3号》、《2021A4号》、《2022A2号》、《2023A1号》、《2023A2号》、《2025A13号》。她是云贵高原的精灵，她从大山深处走来，携着云雾山川，承载着云贵古文化视觉的DNA，与其说她是在画带着浓郁地域特征的视觉图式，不如说她是书写着几十年生命体验深深刻入灵魂的心象，她在不断书写、不断输出、变幻莫测、云里雾里的，“道之为物，惟恍惟惚。惚兮恍兮，其中有象；恍兮惚兮，其中有物；窈兮冥兮，其中有精；其精甚真，其中有信。”

Most compelling are her Cloud Totem Series, in which the images appear neither as clouds nor mist, but like dreams and illusions. These include 2019A3, 2019A4, 2018A7, 2020A1, 2020A2, 2021A3, 2021A4, 2022A2, 2023A1, 2023A2, and 2025A13. She is a spirit of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Coming from the depths of the mountains, carrying with her clouds, mists, rivers and peaks, she also bears the visual DNA of ancient Yunnan-Guizhou culture. Rather than saying that she paints visual forms rich in regional characteristics, it is more accurate to say that she writes the mindscapes deeply engraved into her soul by decades of lived experience. She writes without ceasing, releases without ceasing, ever-changing, elusive, wrapped in cloud and mist: “As a thing, the Dao is shadowy and indistinct. Indistinct and shadowy, yet within it there are images; shadowy and indistinct, yet within it there are things. Deep and obscure, yet within it there is essence. That essence is utterly real, and within it there is trust.”

命运总是捉摸人的，人类用媒介表达自我不是一条清晰的直通车，人们往往穷其一生也无法抵达理想的艺术之门，程仲泉是幸运的，她找到了情感和思绪的表达方式，在不断试错中她进入了语言的研究状态，千辛万苦却乐在其中，艺术成为拯救她的诺亚方舟，她书写不止，状态在线，"开局即巅峰，明日犹可待"。

Fate is always unpredictable. For human beings, using media to express the self is never a clear and direct path. Many spend their entire lives without ever reaching the ideal gate of art. Cheng Zhongquan is fortunate: she has found a way to express her emotions and thoughts. Through continuous trial and error, she has entered a state of sustained linguistic research. Though the path has been arduous, she finds joy within it. Art has become the Noah’s Ark that saves her. She keeps writing; her creative state remains alive. “If the beginning already stands at a summit, tomorrow is still worth awaiting.”
