编年史笔记
经过近十年的艺术探索，《悬浮》标志着罗洛的首次大型个展，也是她的艺术语言进入公共展览语境的时刻。
本次展览由张宁策划，在北京宁空间展出，展现了绘画、雕塑、装置、空间环境和观众之间高度精妙的对话，营造出一种静谧而又震撼的视觉体验。
“悬置”代表了罗早期艺术实践的一个成熟阶段。通过由记忆、缺失和存在主义反思所塑造的图像和物件，展览确立了将在她后来的艺术生涯中不断演变的主题。

Pursuing the Answer of the Tao in the Suspended State
By Ning Zhang
Loy Luo is a sensitive female artist who likes to put her thinking cap on. She is in herself an entity of contradictions and we may feel her inner struggles, her leaps in thinking and her entanglements. Her personality shows multiple contrary sides, and she feels herself being torn, which is amply showed her artworks. She likes to use acrylic because it has water character, which she considers Chinese; and to use oil paint because of its oily character, which is seen as Western. At the same time, she blends the two together through force. She says, "My ideal is to build a bridge between the West and the East. I have to do this or else I will feel bad, as I very much like Chinese culture and am infatuated with Western culture. So in a way, I feel obliged.
Luo is a person who likes questioning, whether they are directed towards other people or at herself. She has been studying and thinking about philosophy and exploring the inner spiritual world. Her artwork is a pursuit of the Tao, a process of enlightenment. This can be seen in her paintings, Untitled Memories series and Suspending series, and in her series of sculptures entitled Poem. In her works, feelings and thinking are one and the same, while senses and rationality are unified. When she paints, she looks for inspiration through using the paints and changing layers and layers, until she finds an ideal images. In reality, she feels suspended, probably because she fell into a hole by accident when she went swimming in her childhood. She could neither rise up to the surface nor sink to the bottom, and had to see yellow water bubbles flowing by. That near-death experience is the origin of her thinking behind the suspended state of life. Her Suspending series is an experssion of suspended state of her life experiences, through dreamlike hues and exploratory strokes.
It is meaningful to embark on an artistic pursuit of the Tao. Inspired artworks are powerful . Our spiritual growth is a process of studying , thinking, questioning and seeking the truth. Sometimes, Our effort is aimless, uncertain and suspended. I think we will find the right answer if we continuously investigate the truth with our own wisdom independently and ceaselessly. I like the dedication Luo has shown to art, and admire her spiritual thinking and expressions conveyed through her paintings. I think that her art creation is a process of self-discovery and self-reflection, as weill as a process of seeking the truth and answering her inner questions.
艺术家自述
虚无萦绕于虚无之中，丰盛消逝于丰盛之中——超越对位困境。
作者：罗洛
我曾花费一年多的时间，试图模仿吉尔·德勒兹在其著作《感觉的逻辑》中对弗朗西斯·培根的解读。我曾将尼采的《权力意志》应用于对一位艺术家及其艺术的诠释。在我看来，艺术家的生命如同变幻莫测的欲望之火。我认为尼采的哲学与她艺术的信条相符。那么，我的艺术信条又该如何体现呢？多年来，我一直试图以旁观者的视角审视自己，不断地寻找并尝试解答“我是谁？”这个问题，仿佛我的灵魂已被剥夺。我是否如烈火般燃烧，仿佛肩负着某种使命？我并没有那么强大。我是否如水般在这尘世间自我净化？我并没有那么平静。我认同徐福观笔下对中国艺术超越性的阐述。然而，回归自然状态或许显得自私，难道我应该继续奋斗，并在离开人世时秉持道家无为的思想，不留遗憾，也不感到愧疚吗？我认为，所有艺术实践都是为了超越精神的束缚，摆脱肉体所承载的世俗重担，只是超越之后会发生什么，以及一个人最终会达到何种程度的觉悟，则因人而异。
就我个人而言，我更认同基督教式的当代超越实践。它承认摒弃偶像崇拜的合理性，即回归到一位无所不在、不可感知的上帝。因此，它开启了一项大胆的实验：精神超越物质世界，却又不切断与人类世界的联系——精神就存在于人心中。人是上帝的选民，是通往灵性世界的桥梁，引领人们从物质主义走向灵性。
多亏了毕达哥拉斯和柏拉图，西方宗教与哲学、世俗世界与天堂之间的隔阂才得以弥合。分裂则出现于之后。柏拉图激烈地论证了艺术是否能够超越尘世的界限，抵达精神领域。此后，在关于各种艺术理论的辩论中，艺术始终致力于通过图像揭示真理，直到模仿艺术无法揭示世界的真相。东方艺术比西方艺术更早地意识到“人不可貌相”。然而，这种认识还不够深入。事实上，通过抽象主义的宣扬、至上主义的挑战以及概念主义的探索，自由思想的纯粹舞动已成为严肃艺术家们的热情所在。马列维奇、克莱因、塔皮埃斯、罗斯科，这些灵魂舞者擅长在天际翩翩起舞，由内而外散发出令人叹为观止的美丽与光辉，蕴藏着无穷的能量。宗教、哲学和艺术直到最近才开始趋向或朝着圣三位一体的荣耀发展。
根据中国古典美学和艺术理念，所有这些困境都将通过精神的超越得到解决。没有人知道我们将走向何方，但充满活力的精神之翼却能感知风向。
“我确信，在虚空的中心，如同在人的心中，燃烧着一团火焰。”重读克莱因的书，我更加确信，一个人的艺术就是他的宗教或哲学。他内心的一切都会呈现在画布上，并塑造他的风格。艺术家的性格，无论是否改变，都是深深镌刻于心的。在各个时代，伟大的艺术家都拥有他们独特的气质，而这种气质并非后天造就。它源于内心，是衡量你对世界容忍度的晴雨表，无论你是顺应生活的潮流还是逆流而上。它源于你对“人”的意义的理解。
或许我的心理特质，我的双子座身份，或是我的AB血型，都预示着我一生都将背负矛盾的枷锁。再加上滋养我的两种文化——在陆地与海洋、冒险与谨慎、开放与拘束、明亮与压抑、平静与狂野等对立面之间摇摆不定——我的一生注定要与另一个自我展开斗争。性格决定命运。我认为，我的使命就是化解内心看似无法调和的矛盾，并将它们融入我的艺术创作之中。
虚无萦绕于虚无之中，丰盈则隐于丰盈之中。这诗意的氛围便是绘画的氛围，也是对生命与宇宙的终极诠释。东方与西方，哲学与宗教，人与宇宙，肉体与精神，虚无与丰盈，存在与消逝……如同古老的太极图腾，两极相互对立、循环往复、相互侵蚀、相互渗透、相互排斥、相互疏离。当艺术达到如此境界，生命将变得无比广阔、奇妙而珍贵。
