Sophia Heymans是来自美国明尼苏达州中部的艺术家。非常喜欢她笔下色彩斑斓，细节丰富，充满活力的乡村风光。她现在正在创作的这系列作品《12个月》，已经完成11张，剩下最后一张将会在这个月，也就是2014年9月创作完成。非常期待。

Sophia Heymans is an artist born in Central Minnesota. I love the colorful, detailed and energetic village landscapes expressed by her painting. Now, she is creating 12 Month Series. Eleven months are finished with one last to be completed this month. Expecting…

创作油画作品时，我首先用丙烯颜料和其他植入材料形成表层，然后用油画颜料进行创作。至于风格，我认为我是用极其抽象的表现手法、以比喻的方式来阐述美国民俗艺术。薄薄的天际线下，活力无限的室外场景和精心布局的植物、动物和其他形象出现在同一画面中，构成连续的臆想故事。这些簇拥的形象表现了一个地方的独特特质，也体现了那些期望在此永久停留却匆匆离去之人的情结。

I make large scale landscapes painted with oils layered over a surface of acrylics and embedded found materials. In terms of style, I think of my paintings as placing the figurative narrative of American Folk Art on top of the textural assemblages of Abstract Expressionism. With only a thin banner of a horizon line, I compose energetic outdoor scenes with carefully arranged representations of plant, animal, and structural subjects interacting in an ongoing imagined story. For me these crowded images express the unique personalities of places, and the momentary persons who engage those places in desire of a culminating relationship.

我的家乡位于明尼苏达州中部地区，油画作品便取材于我们家农场周围的风景。那里人烟稀少，景致优美。遍布在Avon山间的湿地、大草原和树木繁茂的湖泊是我作品的重要素材。我将苔藓、细绳、纸浆和草籽植入画布上，然后在这些纹理表面和周围画出拟人化的群山、湖泊和树木，如低头注视自己影子的树干，伸出枝叶靠近同伴的灌木，还有那倒映着月亮的池塘……这些自然地标与隐藏其中的人们有着同等的价值。画面中，我将人物形象刻画得很小，他们通常都在休闲玩耍：在雪中嬉戏的孩童、迎着大风向山上前行的一家人、以及独自滑雪的妇人……这些画面展现了人类与自然的关系，尽管与21世纪的科技世界截然不同，但这并非逃避现实的错觉，也不是浪漫的幻想，而是实实在在的存在。

My point of departure is the sparsely populated environment surrounding my family’s farm in Central Minnesota, particularly the wetlands, prairies, and wooded lakes situated within the Avon hills. I attach pieces of moss, string, paper mâché and prairie seeds to the canvases. On and around these textures, I paint groupings of little hills, lakes and trees in personified roles: a tree staring down at its own shadow, a pair of shrubs reaching out to one another, or a large puddle holding the reflection of the moon. The landmarks are characters of equal value to the persons among them. Within the crowded scenes, I paint the people very small and portray them in leisurely activities: children playing in the snow, a family walking up a hill on a windy day, a lone woman skiing at dusk. These pieces embrace our often comic relationship to nature, separate from our 21st century technological existence but not as some sort of escapist delusion or romantic fantasy.
