中国现代漆画萌芽至今经历了八十多年的发展，逐渐进入了繁荣时期。然而，与其他成熟的画种相比，漆画仍然属于“发展中”的年轻画种，在诸多方面都存在一定的问题。其中，漆画的媒材制约与绘画自由表达之间的矛盾就是漆画发展过程中的一个显著问题。这一矛盾不仅存在于漆画发展的历史进程中，同样也困扰着大部分漆画创作者。系统地分析漆媒材的特性与局限，可以更加全面地掌握媒材，使媒材更好地服务于绘画表达，从而突破漆媒材的制约。漆媒材制约与大漆紧密相关，其制约在大漆材质、漆画工具以及创作秩序上都有表现。漆画效果受限于媒材，其所呈现出来的高低、浓淡、材质肌理、视觉触觉等效果都建立在特殊的工艺与媒材基础之上。漆媒材的制约是一个客观存在，它伴随着整个中国现代漆画的发展历史，不同历史时期的漆画创作者对媒材制约的不同看法影响着自身的创作风格，也影响了漆画发展的时代风格。对于漆媒材的制约，我们需要辩证地看待。既要看到材料本身的局限与不足，也要看到媒材制约与其独特的审美特性共存的特点。解决“媒材制约”与“自由表达”二者之间的矛盾需要从绘画语言的角度出发，选择性利用各种工艺与材料，使媒材服务于画面效果。而后不断进行创作实践，总结经验，掌握媒材特性，将漆媒材的制约转化为个人独特的绘画语言。此外，还应该积极学习和吸收其他绘画的表现形式，尝试新的材料和方法，在当代的艺术语境之下不断吸收前卫的思想观念，探索漆画多样化的表现形式和风格，拓宽漆画艺术的边界。
Modern Chinese lacquer painting has experienced more than 80 years of development and has gradually entered a prosperous period. However, compared with other mature painting, lacquer painting still belongs to the "developing" young painting, there are some problems in many aspects. Among them, the contradiction between the media restriction of lacquer painting and the free expression of painting is a significant problem in the development of lacquer painting. This contradiction not only exists in the historical process of lacquer painting development, but also troubles most lacquer painting creators. A systematic analysis of the characteristics and limitations of paint materials can give a more comprehensive grasp of paint materials, so that they can better serve the painting expression and break through the constraints of paint materials.The restriction of lacquer medium is closely related to lacquer, and its restriction is manifested in lacquer material, lacquer painting tools and creation order. The effect of lacquer painting is limited by the medium, and the effects of its height, shade, material texture, visual touch and so on are built on the basis of special technology and medium. The restriction of lacquer media is an objective existence, which is accompanied by the development history of modern Chinese lacquer painting. The different views of lacquer painting creators in different historical periods on the restriction of lacquer media affect their own creation style, and also affect the style of the development of lacquer painting.For the constraints of paint media, we need to look at dialectically. We should not only see the limitations and deficiencies of the material itself, but also see the characteristics of the coexistence of the constraints of the medium and its unique aesthetic characteristics. To solve the contradiction between "media restriction" and "free expression", it is necessary to selectively use various processes and materials from the perspective of painting language to make media serve the picture effect. Then continue to create practice, sum up experience, master the characteristics of media, paint media constraints into personal unique painting language.In addition, we should actively learn and absorb other forms of painting, try new materials and methods, constantly absorb avant-garde ideas in the contemporary art context, explore the diversified forms and styles of lacquer painting, and broaden the boundaries of lacquer painting art.
