出生于西部甘肃的孙明刚,性格上有着一种近乎裸露的赤诚,这种真切,给他的艺术创作和专业带去了动能,这种动能,使他的作品表现呈现出旁人少有坚定和丰富。从他早期的写实作品,到随后的表现探索,艺术家用他的笔画出一个又一个状态。
三十岁的他,进入一个思考的年龄,对于七九年出生被划在八零后艺术家的孙明刚来说,他近年的<青春日志>系列标志着他的作品思想进入一种理性的成熟。他轻松随意,将笔下青春少女的生活状一面面呈现出来,形式和材料的运用,同时留给我们一个不完全的视觉思考,那看似简单的片断记录令我们惊讶:稚嫩鲜活与沉暗复杂的不协调竟然可以完美结合,艺术家何以去保持这样的心境呢?没有同情,没有愤怒,只有合理存在,这又是怎样的一个世界呢? ----老羊

 

孙明刚画一种现代生活的风格,画面的女孩总是呆呆的看着你,眼神里四大皆空,无把握,无结果的悬在半空中,导致观着和她不在同一国,那种不渴望被肯定,也不害怕的情绪,吸引观着的注意力,全裸的身体是发育成熟的半成品。----霍蓉

 

borning in the western Gansu,Sun Minggang has a kind of almost naked sincerity in his character,and just this verity  bring his art making and profession with energy of motion.The energy of motion makes his works showing firmness and abundance which few people have.From the early realistic works to the performance of exploration,the artist has drawn out one status to another with his painting brush.
    A man come to 30 years old would to think about the life,and for Sun Minggang,who was born in 1979 but been divided to the artist of the 1980s, his work of"Youth Journal"series marks his works’ thought into rational and mature. He uses his paintbrush easily and freely shows the young girls’ living states,at the same time,he left us a incomplete visual thinking,and that seemingly simple pieces of record surprised us: immaturity and vivacity can perfectly intergrated with gloom and complexity.How can the artist keep such a mood:no sympathy,no wrath,and only reasonable existence.This is what a kind of world?          ----Lao Yang


Sun Minggang's paintings showing modern life color.girl on the pictures always gazes at you,and there is nothing in her eyes.Hanging in the sky with no grasp and no result, making viewers and her in different worlds.not desiring to be recognized and fearless mood attract the viewers' attention.Naked body is the mature of semi-manufactures.          ----HuoRong
