NON 艺术空间将于2026年5月8日至2026年6月15日荣幸呈现艺术家黄志恒、林肖双个展《以水为姓》，展出了两位艺术家40余件作品。
水是流动的，无定形的，却又能映照万物、承载记忆。在黄志恒与林肖的作品中，水不仅是物质媒介或描绘对象，更是一种关乎“存在”的隐喻——它既是爱欲涌动、生命本能流淌的载体，也是身份被命名、被赋权、被重写的镜面。

黄志恒的创作，水不是被描绘的对象，而是参与创作的主体，它渗透、晕染、流淌，留下不可复制的痕迹。他用反叛作为底色，把那些冲破当代社会规训的呼吸化作跃动于画面上的符号，这些符号本属于秩序的世界，指向规范与指令；但在水色浸润之下，它们的意义开始松动、偏移、溢出。那些曾经命令我们的东西，变成了邀请我们解谜的入口。

林肖的画面中，水是倒影，是介于真实与虚假之间的那个暧昧地带。那些不被接纳的肉身，被水承载，但也被水模糊。像苏格拉底洞穴寓言中那个看水中倒影的阶段：还不是真相，但已经不是影子。他的作品不满足于被观看，它们渴望被触碰、被吃掉、被许愿、被拆解又重组。他的作品，只有当双方在其中认出彼此的情感与欲望，才算真正完成。
“以水为姓”——姓是宗族、是根源、是社会性的印记；水是流动、是渗透、是不被固定的本能。当两人以水为共同的“姓氏”，展览便成为一场对话：流动的身体如何为自己命名？被命名的存在又如何保持流动的欲望？

珍妮特·温特森写道：“命名是一个极其困难和消耗时间的过程；命名关乎着本质，它代表着权力。”而黄志恒与林肖共同提醒我们：在命名之前，还有涌动。

Water flows. It is formless, yet it reflects all things and carries memory. In the works of Huang Zhiheng and Lin Xiao, water is neither merely a material medium nor simply a subject to be depicted—it is a metaphor for "existence" itself. It is the carrier of surging Eros and flowing vital instincts, as well as the mirror in which identity is named, empowered, and rewritten.
For Huang Zhiheng, water is not an object to be painted—it is an agent that participates in the act of creation. It seeps, stains, flows, leaving behind unrepeatable traces. With rebellion as his undercurrent, he transforms those breaths that break through the disciplinary codes of contemporary society into symbols that leap across the picture plane. These symbols once belonged to the world of order, pointing to norms and commands; yet, infused with watery hues, their meanings begin to loosen, shift, and overflow. What once commanded us becomes an invitation—an entry point to a riddle.
In Lin Xiao's images, water is reflection—the ambiguous zone between truth and illusion. Those unaccepted bodies are carried by water, but also blurred by it. Like the stage in Plato's cave allegory where one gazes at reflections in the water: not yet the truth, but no longer mere shadows. His works are not content to be merely looked at; they long to be touched, eaten, wished upon, dismantled, and reassembled. A work by Lin Xiao is only truly complete when both parties—creator and viewer—recognize their own emotions and desires within it.
"Water as Surname"—a surname signifies lineage, origin, the imprint of the social; water signifies flow, permeation, instincts that refuse to be fixed. When two artists adopt water as their shared "surname," the exhibition becomes a dialogue: How does the fluid body name itself? And how does the named existence keep its desires flowing?
Jeanette Winterson writes: "Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essence, and it represents power." Yet Huang Zhiheng and Lin Xiao remind us together: before naming, there is the surge.
