柯克•佩德森（Kirk Pedersen）是美国著名绘画艺术家、摄影家。“城市印象”摄影绘画作品展共在沈阳、广州、深圳、上海、北京等五个城市相继开展。此次在上海多伦现代美术馆举办的展览是本次巡回展览的第四站，展览时间2008年12月5日至21日。
本次展览共展出柯克•佩德森个人绘画和摄影作品83件，其中绘画作品55件，摄影作品28件。主要通过色彩斑斓，极富视觉冲击力的热抽象绘画语言手法展现了柯克•佩德森本人对世界多个城市的不同印象。柯克•佩德森通过作品所展现出的城市印象并不是那些现代化大都市的磅礴景象，而是通过城市中微妙的细节来展现出一个城市的特色，其中很多能够代表城市形象的物品往往是我们生活中经常能够用到的平凡的东西。柯克也是想通过这样的方式，让人们能够用心灵去体会一个城市的魅力，不要只相信眼睛看到的东西，从细微之处发现城市的特色，用心灵看到的城市才是真正的城市。
柯克•佩德森的作品向我们展示了来自心灵深处的壮烈城市景观和现代文明特质下的艺术思考。他的这些绘画和摄影作品，让我们通过视觉因素的有效传达，体验了一个富有创作激情的艺术家思想情怀和纯真的艺术心境，认知一种充盈着生命活力的艺术实践力量。流连在交错的都市街道上，Pedersen创作着。他运用多种视角来描绘一个特定的地点。经常选取一些被大多数人忽视的风景，可能是就在道路的拐处，可能位于大厦的角落，也可能是一堵被废弃的残塬，Pedersen寻找并记录着那些看似永恒的生活中短暂的瞬间。这些来源于本能的艺术作品往往充满好奇、变幻和浪漫的诗意。它们经常捕捉到转瞬即逝的时刻，有时充满着奇异的美丽与宁静，多数时候则勾画出周遭行将消逝的存在，正被那些现代化的新的建筑所取代。寻觅并记录着都市生活的现实，Pedersen从无限可能中甄别，对城市给出了艺术的诠释。
在艺术语言的形象性上，他以鲜明的个性图示隐喻被破坏、侵蚀的城市躯壳，通过对城市不同细节及生活中短暂瞬间的表现，表达他对与城市文化的个人体验和艺术判断，揭示现实生活的残酷历史感和悲怆的社会性。在有意追求全部作品整体性同时，每件作品又具有着延续性和差异性，在宽宏的视觉映照下，给人以强大的感官刺激和内心震撼感。
在画面视觉表现上，柯克通过色彩斑斓，极富视觉冲击力的热抽象绘画语言，描绘破旧的残墙、碎片的边缘，以此寻找并记录都市生活的现实，表现时间的流逝和无常，画面上看是随意和无序的色块和线条，以偶然性的视觉形态构成了新的序列关系，与拼贴、并置的具象图像相互衔接，形成了他鲜明的视觉表现形式，这种抽象与具象形态所引发的美感无形而明确，呈现出强烈的对比和视觉冲击。使我们在多变的艺术格局中，直观了当代绘画拓展和延续的可能性。
在对外界环境抽象细节的探索方面，Pedersen的作品与二十世纪中期美国摄影家，例如Aaron Siskind 和Harry Callahan以及中世纪欧洲画家Antoni Tapies, Alberto Burri 和Lucia Fontana的关注对象发生了历史性的共鸣。像这些摄影家一样，Pedersen尝试了一些被世人认为是过于平淡的现实题材，然而就像他的前辈画家一样，他创作了一些表现被毁坏、侵蚀的城市风貌的图景，冷静地强化了现实的残酷，揭示了生活的悲怆就平静地展现在这些平凡的、令人熟视无睹的事物的外表之下。
从残破的边缘记载着年代的斑驳的墙面，到聚在小餐馆后门度过闲暇一刻的厨师，Pedersen将观众带到了由凡俗到卓越的神奇之旅。先哲说，人不能两次踏入同一条河流，体现了在现实的世界里，变化是永恒的。在追寻灵感和顿悟的过程中，Pedersen创作着，并将平淡无奇的生活变成了令人惊叹的奇观。围墙的细节，大厦的前壁以及其他的城市标志，这些画面不仅构成了城市民居的一瞥，它们从平凡中创造了奇迹，同 时清晰地勾勒出了二十一世纪最初十年里亚洲瞬息万变的面貌。

Kirk Pedersen is a famous artist in painting and photograph who comes from US. “Impression of urban” will be traveling presented in Shenyang, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing. And this time exhibition in Shanghai is from December 5th to 21st, 2008, as the 4th station.
On the exhibition, there are 83 works on show, including 55 painting works and 28 photographs. We can find the splendid urban landscape and modern civilization which comes from deep spirit through Kirk Pedersen’s art works. With an effective transmitting of vision of his paintings and photographs, we also can feel the passion of the artist.
He always focuses on a fixed location, a busy and crisscross street in urban, a turning in street or a corner in a mansion, which are always ignored by other people, and creates from different perspectives. Pedersen seeks and records the transitory moment which seems eternal. His works, which are full of curiosity, changes and romantic poetic, presents beauty and quiet sometimes, and most time shows something will disappear in the following time instead by a modern building.
In the works, the destroyed and erosive urban is performed through a metaphor, what showed a cruel reality and society. While the artist intended to display all the works as a whole, they are different from each other and also relative. It brought us sensory stimulation and shock inside.
Kirk used abstract painting ways which are colorful and full of visual impact to picture a destroyed wall in order to search and record the reality of a urban life. Color and line are random and out-of-order, which is like the time lapse. The beauty comes from a combination with something abstract and concrete, which presents an intense comparison.
The subject of environment details in his works are similar to these photographers in the middle of 20th century in the US like Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan ,as well as European painters in medieval such as Antoni Tapies, Alberto Burri and Lucia Fontana. They all managed to express realities while others ignored them.
There is a saying that you cannot step twice into the same river, and it means Changes is eternal in the reality. Pedersen engages in creating when he searching inspiration and he change the nothing remarkable life into a exclamatory scene. Conditions changed quickly in the first decade in the 21st century and these images are pictured in Pedersen’s works. It is a miracle by him.
