冥想
李一丙作品展
2007年12月5日至22日
精藝軒畫廊
香港 中環(huán) 嘉咸街35號 地舖
藝術(shù)家將出席開幕酒會
2007年12月5日 （星期三）下午6時至8時
李一丙是北京宋莊藝術(shù)家群落中的一位，一九六六年生於河北的邯鄲。李一丙的畫色彩很柔和豐麗，給人愉悅童話般的感受。看他的畫，會立刻被畫面上的大片色彩和細膩的畫功所吸引，他把精神思想隱蔽在色彩中，讓觀眾透過他細膩的筆觸慢慢品味。“冥想系列”是反映現(xiàn)時人們想像問題的一種方式，對展望未來的憧憬和欲望，讓現(xiàn)實社會中騷動不安及矛盾重重的心理狀態(tài)獲得軟著陸。
他畫中有紅色氣球、藍色雨傘，他畫的嬰兒形象不是一件具體寫真，而是一種心象的反映。成群或單個的似成年但充滿純真的嬰兒，給觀者一種渴望回歸的意願。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或雀躍，在沉思冥想中尋找自己的空間，現(xiàn)實與歷史在心中交織，超脫與逃避，反映著畫家的精神境界。作者在渴望一種對現(xiàn)實的改變，在膨脹的物欲裏尋求安靜和純真的願望，畫家對過去與現(xiàn)實的冥想實際是一種思考。無助、迷茫、拒絕，但又充滿懷念和渴望。冥想是期望和寄托，是無奈現(xiàn)實的超越。
李一丙通過繪畫對遙遠過去和遙遠未來進行了虛構(gòu)或重構(gòu)，意識形態(tài)的冥想和現(xiàn)實的相孛，在畫面裏達到和諧。他作品中沒有那些喧囂的扭曲瘋狂的東西，但是卻震撼人心。
現(xiàn)今的消費時代，流行文化充斥人們?nèi)粘Ｉ詈退季S。現(xiàn)實欲望的膨脹令人無所適從，畫家以現(xiàn)實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比。尋找庇護的場所，那些傘，所能庇護的也只是柔軟的雨，尋找過程不過是個欲望氣球放氣的過程，欲望的衰減意味著安全的靠近，同時理想和創(chuàng)造也隨之遠離。畫家的兩難境地，就像金錢和藝術(shù)的取捨，富足生活與藝術(shù)追求，大多是矛盾的。對這畫家精神世界的表現(xiàn)，他自己形容為“麻木的樂觀”，這或許正是現(xiàn)代人生活心態(tài)的一種寫照。
精藝軒將於十二月五日展出畫家李一丙的油畫作品【冥想】系列。精藝軒畫廊位於中環(huán)嘉咸街３５號地舖（近荷李活道與擺花街交界）。如欲訪問藝術(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。

MEDITATION
Works of Li Yibing

Press Release
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 recognized 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 centers 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 exhibition space is located at 35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace). For further information about this exhibition or for interviewing the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.
