新冠疫情让戴口罩成为了世界各国不少人的新常态。各种花式口罩也层出不穷，口罩也同样激发了艺术家们的灵感。艺术家沃尔克·赫米斯（Volker Hermes）创意性地将口罩与古典画作结合起来，风靡一时。

下面就跟随CD君的步伐，一起来看看这些将传统与当下紧密结合的作品吧！

Volker Hermes has been creating a series of "Hidden Portraits" for over 10 years, where he manipulates photos of classical paintings tangled up in head accessories. It seemed like an innocent play of imagination until it became very poignant when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.

沃尔克·赫米斯过去十几年来一直在创作系列作品 “隐藏的肖像”，在古典画作上加入一些头饰。这样的“脑洞大开”原先似乎只是一种单纯的创作，而在新冠大流行期间，它的意义则格外凸显出来。

赫米斯在谈论自己的作品时表示，虽然自己是一个画家和艺术家，但这些作品并不是画出来的。他选用了更加现代化的Photoshop作为辅助工具，通过作品反思当下社会，以及体现人们如何看待大师画作。

Hermes says, "I have great respect for incredible historical paintings. I don't add anything to the outside portraits, all the modifications come from the painting itself. I pay attention to the characteristics of the artists, brushstrokes, light, etc. My interventions should be as plausible as possible."

赫米斯表示：“我非常尊重这些令人惊叹的历史画作。我没有在画像的外部添加任何东西，所有的修改都基于画作本身。我注意到了艺术家的风格，绘画的笔触、光线等。我的再创作会尽可能保持原画的整体风格。”

"Portraits were commissioned only by the elite. They were amazingly expensive and are full of codes and allusions in clothing or with attributes that refer to a high rank, which we no longer understand because our society is different. That's why we today look at the portrayed ones mostly in the face, because we don't understand the codes of the rest of the picture anymore. I block this access — I cover the person and one must now look at the painting completely differently."

“肖像画原先只属于精英阶级。因为它们的价格惊人，而且在人物的服饰上隐藏着一些信号、背后的故事，亦或是显示着一个人的地位。然而我们已经很难明白了，因为我们身处的社会不同了。我们今天欣赏这些肖像的时候大多在看人物的面部，而不明白其他的含义。我把人脸遮上，人们就必须以完全不同的方式欣赏画作。”

赫米斯曾在世界知名艺术学院杜塞尔多夫艺术学院学习绘画，并在10多年前就开始了历史肖像项目。在这十年中他也一直在精进自己的绘画水平。

虽然这组作品运用了非传统的PS手段，但赫米斯一直没有忘记从画家的角度出发，宣扬绘画的理念，遵循基本的绘画原则。

Hermes suggests that because of the pandemic, he now knows what life with masks feels like and that is really new. And more people are paying attention to his work, which is absolutely amazing.

赫米斯表示因为疫情，他现在知道了带着面具的生活是什么样的，这是一种全新的体验。而他的作品关注度也突然变得更高。

The artworks use allusions to our society today and bring together the past and the present. Hermes says, "I have many painters that I like very much — after all, we are talking about a very long period of time. To pick out one would not be fair."

这一系列的作品借用了当下的社会背景，将过去和现在联结到了一起。赫米斯坦言：“我有很多非常喜欢的画家——毕竟，我们谈论的是一个长时期的创作。在其中只能挑出一个是不公平的。”
