雷子人是清华大学美术学院博士后，著书立说，评论写起来又感性又老道。他的画也很有意思，像他的评论一样，温温润润、不急不躁，细细品来却生机勃勃、诗意无穷。有人说，雷子人的画是文人画，这点我不敢苟同，所谓文人画，它们不大讲究画中的艺术技巧，只在画外看文人的感想，表现文人的趣味。雷子人虽是文人，但他的工写技术娴熟，举手投足都颇有大家风范，这与他长年在学院的浸润有关。
我没见过雷子人，可早早就看过他的画，他的画册是我喜爱的几本画册之一，暇时总翻，每次看都能看出新意，每次的体会也不尽相同。雷子人是位诗人，很会用意境表达他的感悟，古意盎然的画里流淌着浓郁的现代气息，现实中男女的情怨哀愁，缱绻缠绵都在纸墨上栩栩如生，人世的风情就这样在自然的吐纳里，在月白风清的凉廊里一点点显现。晨昏不觉，光影悠悠。
我喜欢雷子人创作的《暖丫》系列作品，一只木盆微微地冒着热气，中药的味道在空气中轻轻弥漫，一条横搭的毛巾放在床边，像一只伸出去的手，捂住一个就要说出的秘密，一个女人坐在对面，坐在生命的伤口处，细细的腰，细细地支撑着天和地，男女间没有对话，只有一种流逝，两颗微暗的心，空气中一个精美的漩涡在行走，被风卷起的窗帘，像花瞬间开放，就像春天里的另一种冰凉的开放，一种彻骨的冷，每个人的骨头都带着一丝倦意。很多长眠不死的爱情，转身却沉默不语，不再注视不再提及，所有的伤痛，所有的清水，都可以在时间的流动中变成虚无，雷子人像是看透世道的哲人，用他淡淡的墨、纤纤的笔，描绘着那一幅幅千回百转的世态图画……
把一只蝴蝶交给花是甜蜜的，浓烈的花香会使它眩晕，它就向另一朵花飞去；把一个人交给另一个人是危险的，爱情像火焰熊熊燃烧，并在长久的厌倦中变成灰烬。把一张白纸交给水墨，它会给我们什么样的感受呢？每位画家都在朝思暮想，都在苦苦摸索，雷子人也不例外，他对水墨语言有着良好的悟性。他的画中潜伏着文人的才情、灵动、随意和对生命的敬畏，有评论家说，雷子人的画里有水的情怀，氤氲滋润的水墨很清很醇很深，我在一遍一遍看画的过程里逐渐体会到了，他的画穿越在古今之间，但他对时空的把握却很弱，他笔下的人、事都模糊纠缠惫懒，像被水泡着，慢慢舒展又慢慢腐烂。我不知道雷子人有怎样的人生体验，但我能清楚地从他的画里看到对世事无常的无可奈何，对情来情往的无从把握，对现实喧嚣的茫然惊愕。明天有张千回百转的脸，雷子人在时间的轮回里，不断地体会着水墨交融带来的惊喜和伤悲。
