王苑的作品《货郎图小剧场》与《美杜莎之凝视》系列，通过借用不同的东西方神话、民间志怪等文本，探讨了当代视域下的消费文化、人们的感知方式、女性身份等文化问题，并以超现实的方法展开了她的叙事剧场。王苑笔下的人物与神兽符号，既源于楚地艺术中恢诡橘怪的特质、也融合了奥斯卡施莱默的包豪斯式抽象几何手法，这也使得鹿角、灵蛇、云纹与抽象的人体奇异的并置在作品中The series of Wang Yuan's works "Pedlar's Theater" and "Gaze of Medusa" explore the cultural issues of consumer culture, people's perception and women's identity from the contemporary perspective by borrowing different texts such as Eastern and Western myths and folk legends, and unfold her narrative theater in a surreal way. The characters and animal symbols in Wang Yuan's works are not only derived from the characteristics of strange oranges and monsters in Chu art, but also integrated with Oscar Schlemmer's Bauhaus style Abstract geometry, which also makes antlers, spirit snakes, cloud patterns and abstract human bodies strangely juxtaposed in her works.Executive Curator of United Art Museum

如果说王苑绘画艺术的神秘叙事来自于湘楚大地的精灵神怪的话，那么，从《山海经》到南宋画家李嵩《货郎图》等经典视觉文本则为她的绘画打下了厚重的中国传统文化底蕴。在王苑这里，鲜明的东方文化和细腻的女性意识并不是消极的限制性力量，它们像是繁星闪烁的夜空或是知觉涌动的火山口，是开启而不是闭锁，是奔流而不是隐藏。也就是说，王苑艺术的想象力是没有边界的，她将东方与西方、传统与当代、刻画与书写、性别与超性别等诸多因素巧妙而有机地综合起来，构筑了一个既可见又不可见的、只属于王苑的神秘世界。If the mysterious narration of Wang Yuan's painting art comes from the elves and monsters in Hunan and Chu, then the classic visual texts such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "the drawing of Pedlar" by Li Song of the Southern Song Dynasty have laid a solid foundation of Chinese traditional culture for her painting. Here, the distinctive oriental culture and delicate female consciousness are not negative restrictive forces. They are like the starry night sky or the surging crater of perception, which is open rather than closed, running rather than hidden. In other words, the imagination of Wang Yuan's art has no boundary. She skillfully and organically combines many factors such as East and West, tradition and contemporary, depiction and writing, gender and super gender, and constructs a mysterious world that is both visible and invisible and only belongs to Wang Yuan.Professor and Doctoral Supervisor of Art School of Sichuan University蓝矮星的忧郁无底洞：刺耶非耶的逶迤之行之二

王苑的画，奇谲诡灵；中国历代不乏奇谲之作，《人物御龙帛画》、顾恺之《洛神赋图》、龚开《中山出游图》、罗聘《鬼趣图》等均可为证；比如《洛神赋图》，画中灵兽众多：风神“屏翳”，人身兽足的女娲，水中跃波追逐的水灵，鹿角马面、蛇颈羊身的海龙；只不过受制于儒家“子不语怪力乱神”的教条限制，奇谲诡灵之风始终不曾蔚为大观，当代绘画挖掘、重启该路线，王苑即其中的突出代表；我记忆中的王苑，是一位精致、梦幻的女性，她的画蕴含了她的性情，温婉的气息和丰富的细节里颤涌出艺术家谬妄疯狂的挣扎力度。Wang Yuan's paintings are ingenious and flexible; There are many ingenious works in Chinese dynasties, such as "the silk painting of Figure against the Dragon", Gu Kaizhi's painting of "Luoshen Fu", Gong Kai's painting of "traveling in Zhongshan" and Luo pin's painting of "Ghost Interest"; For example, in the painting of "Luoshen Fu", there are many spirits and beasts in the painting: the "Ping Yi" of the Wind God, Nuwa with human body and animal feet, the water spirit chased by leaping waves in the water, and antlers horse faces, snake neck and sheep body; However, limited by the Confucian dogma of "Don't talk about ghosts", the ingenious and flexible spirit has never been a great sight. Wang Yuan is the outstanding representative of contemporary painting in excavating and restarting this route; In my memory, Wang Yuan is an exquisite and dreamy woman. Her paintings contain her temperament, gentle atmosphere and rich details, and the artist's absurd and crazy struggle is surging out of her paintings.Deputy Secretary General of the China Annual Critics Assembly蓝矮星的忧郁无底洞：刺耶非耶的逶迤之行
