迷彩成幻天地奇迹 意识如流美韵翩翩
——记著名油画家慈向群
油画写实众所周知，著名油画家慈向群却独立新功，借助中国画的意境和意蕴之法，把油画带进写意的境界，油彩似水墨，或流动氤氲，或凝厚枯奇，或交融湮会，把天地常态，用迷彩之法，构成奇迹，成为油画意境化，意蕴化的卓绝之功。中西文化的交流与交融，贴情合意，天衣无缝，体现着他对不分地域国别优秀文化的深谙之道。
油画写意，意蕴纷纷。并不是我们常见的越过印象成抽象的油画。抽象油画完全抛弃的印象的美感，以随意无形为特色，以不入自然，远离现实辨识标准为异质。比如画家随意横竖结构线条即成抽象画，连画家也未必知道自己在画什么，抽象主义油画完全剥离了现实根本，并不是大众艺术，成为较难理解的亚文化品种。
慈向群用油彩写意，油彩的流动与湮染，并不脱离基本现实，是自然形态与思维意识流的巧妙结合，所以他的油画中虽然迷彩成幻，意境多源，但是仍旧能看出相当突显的“形存”，云山风雾、花鸟岩礁、路径石阶等等现实物象，都是可以观到的，虽然在朦胧之中，却是隔纱有真容。
所以说，他做油画抽象构图，绝不是随意，也绝不是失意，而是依照脑海中的意识流态，去操纵迷彩的趋形走向，油彩写意是骨构本形，画面是有型有骨的超现实主义的幻想反射。这就让他的油画，还是建立在正常而多元的想象力之上，是有意识有思想主导的画面结构，虽施迷彩，却迷而不乱，因迷而成真的崇高品质。
慈向群有着非常敏锐独到的油彩触析能力，他不仅仅是用眼睛分辨色彩，还是在用心区分颜色，颜色在他的谋构下，显得非常有灵逸感，油彩不是呆滞的，具备了生命萌发活跃的品质，色彩无言却能表意，画面因色彩的活泼具备鲜明的对话交流感，观赏这样的油画艺术作品，很容易让人入境，入画境，入心境。
中国画以墨成境，墨因水而得韵，这里面有传承千年的固定法则和思路，并不难成。可是慈向群为什么能把原本凝滞的油彩，泼绘得如云如烟，气韵流畅，甚至韵超水墨？这是什么新法则和新思路，恐怕外人是很难猜透和复现的。
也就是说，油彩写意对慈向群来说，是修成之功，可是对外人来说却是秘籍难得。这种油彩生意境的功法，似乎不仅仅是技法之成，还需艺术家具备超凡的想象力，没有天才资分，油彩韵流如云霞的画面神境，是画不出，写不成的。
在慈向群的油画里，被注极为精致近乎天才般的意识所得。迷彩成幻，天地奇迹，意识如流，美韵翩翩，天地万物皆因艺术家奇异的意识而得美工奇韵，油画画到这般境界，奇难超越，大功告成，所以说慈向群功成卓著，拥有油画技立峰顶的大家风采！
