　　李一丙是北京宋莊藝術(shù)家群中的一位，1966年生于河北的邯鄲。李一丙的畫(huà) , 色彩很柔和艷麗，給人一種愉悅童話般的感受。看他的畫(huà)，會(huì)立刻被畫(huà)面上的大片色彩和細(xì)膩的畫(huà)功所吸引，他把精神思想隱蔽在色彩之中，讓觀眾透過(guò)他細(xì)膩的筆觸慢慢品味。“冥想系列”是反映現(xiàn)時(shí)人們想象問(wèn)題的一種方式，對(duì)展望未來(lái)的憧憬和欲望，讓現(xiàn)實(shí)社會(huì)中騷動(dòng)不安及矛盾重重的心理狀態(tài)獲得軟著陸。

　　他畫(huà)中有紅色氣球；藍(lán)色雨傘；他畫(huà)的嬰兒形象不是一件具體寫(xiě)真，而是一種心象的反映。成群或單個(gè)的似成年但充滿純真的嬰兒，給觀者一種渴望回歸的意愿。他總是閉目冥想，天使般小心翼翼地在思緒彌漫的天空中飄動(dòng)或雀躍，在沉思冥想中尋找自己的空間，現(xiàn)實(shí)與歷史在心中交織，超脫與逃避，反映著畫(huà)家的精神境界。作者在渴望一種對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的改變，在膨脹的物欲里尋求安靜和純真的愿望.畫(huà)家對(duì)過(guò)去與現(xiàn)實(shí)的冥想實(shí)際是一種思考。無(wú)助；迷茫；拒絕；但又充滿懷念和渴望。冥想是期望和寄托，是對(duì)無(wú)奈現(xiàn)實(shí)的超越。

　　李一丙通過(guò)繪畫(huà)對(duì)遙遠(yuǎn)過(guò)去和遙遠(yuǎn)未來(lái)進(jìn)行了虛構(gòu)或重構(gòu)，意識(shí)形態(tài)的冥想和現(xiàn)實(shí)的相孛，在畫(huà)面里達(dá)到和諧。他作品中沒(méi)有那些喧囂的扭曲瘋狂的東西，但是卻震撼人心。

　　現(xiàn)今的消費(fèi)時(shí)代，流行文化充斥人們?nèi)粘Ｉ詈退季S。現(xiàn)實(shí)欲望的膨脹令人無(wú)所適從，畫(huà)家以現(xiàn)實(shí)的境遇感受歷史的遭遇。鋪天蓋地的紅與嬰兒的自我冥想和陶醉相成鮮明的對(duì)比。尋找庇護(hù)的場(chǎng)所，那些傘，所能庇護(hù)的也只是柔軟的雨，尋找過(guò)程不過(guò)是個(gè)欲望氣球放氣的過(guò)程，欲望的衰減意味著安全的靠近，同時(shí)理想和創(chuàng)造也隨之遠(yuǎn)離。這正是畫(huà)家的兩難境地，就象金錢(qián)和藝術(shù)的取舍，富足生活與藝術(shù)追求，大多是矛盾的。這正是畫(huà)家精神世界的表現(xiàn)，他自己形容為“麻木的樂(lè)觀”，這或許正是現(xiàn)代人生活心態(tài)的一種寫(xiě)照。

　　精藝軒將于 十二月五日 展出畫(huà)家李一丙的油畫(huà)作品<冥想〉系列。精藝軒畫(huà)廊位於中環(huán)嘉咸街35號(hào)地舖（近荷李活道與擺花街交界）。如欲訪問(wèn)藝術(shù)家或查詢展覽詳情可電郵 dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk 或致電 2522.1138 向Dominic Chan 或 2526.0818 向 Josephine Hau 查詢。畫(huà)廊開(kāi)放時(shí)間：星期一至六 11:30am-7:30pm 星期日及公眾假期休息。

　　Meditation - New Works by Li Yi Bing
　　精藝軒 www.artbeatus.com
　　Art Beatus Exhibition Space
　　35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong
　　( Near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace )
　　December 5 - 23, 2007

　　Artist will attend the opening ceremony from 6:30 to 8:30pm on December 5, 2007

　　Art Beatus will present a selection of oil paintings works of Li Yibing in its December exhibition named Meditation.

　　Before his chubby buddies captured the attention of the art hunters, Li Yibing was just one of the hundreds of struggling artists in Song Zhuang, the artists’ enclave outside of Beijing.

　　Li is ecstatic that his works are being recognised and that his chubby buddies are keeping viewers on cloud nine. He still works diligently forever sharpening his skills in his small studio at the outskirt of the Chinese capital, which is fast becoming one of the world leading centres for contemporary art.

　　Born in the poorest part of rural Hebei in 1966, Li’s deprived childhood and harsh up-bringing have been urging him to search for peace and to create tranquillity in his works as these two “things” were definitely missing in the early part of his life.

　　The “Meditation” series, which will be shown at Art Beatus Gallery from December 5 to 22, 2007, unveils Li’s persistent efforts in posing his buddies at their happiest moment, eyes closed, contemplating and always desiring for something pleasurable that is forth-coming.

　　Li said that with his works he aimed at providing a soft landing zone for the viewers amidst the chaos and conflicts that clustered our social environments these days. To reinforce the visual elements, Li supplemented his imageries with other symbols such as clouds, balloons, boats and umbrellas to strengthen the effects of bringing forth serenity, happiness and safety, surreal yet soothingly comforting.

　　Art Beatus Gallery’s new exhibition space is located at 35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace).
