Since then, I have tried to let daydream-like imagination seep into the picture, and those earlier, more symbolic images have also been naturally diluted. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the temperament that seems to be infiltrated by the picture and some image contents that are contrary to reality that cause the association like a dream.
When looking at Guo Yujian’s works, what have been depicted is always in a state of flow, and the secret words that are related to each other become images that avoid us and approach us. The work that takes shape on the canvas in our sight is yet to come, in transition, about to embrace change, and it will not push us away until the feeling is fulfil.
When the painting is really close to us, the first thing that appears to our eyes is this Le cimetière marin[1] written by Valéry in 1922. The curators Hu Yihang and Zhang Tingzhi, together with artist Guo Yujian, divided the exhibition “Dangerous Complicity” in the gallery into three chapters with words and symbols: imagination, a plateau, and a theatre.
在看向郭宇剑的作品时，被描绘的总是在流动的状态中，相互间有着联系的密语成为图像回避我们、又逼近我们扑面而来。我们视线内成形在画布上的作品是尚未到来、在过渡中、即将迎接变化，直到感受盈满，它才会把我们推远。
他的作品长期以来从“劳动”这个常用的词汇出发，不断向现实世界里以“语言”为基础的权利追问。“我只希望我认为重要的东西能被大家知道，那就是”具体的劳动“在现实世界中是如何”做功“的。”
“绘画没有办法不诚恳，这是一种无法伪装的媒介。我对绘画的诚恳和机械的、拾得的图像产生的化学反应感兴趣，尤其是当网络图像和铜板线腐蚀这种必须要经过转化才能成型的绘制方式相遇，就形成了有意思的关系。”
