　　伊比利亞當(dāng)代藝術(shù)中心推出的“兩個(gè)世界之間：奧烏卡·萊蕾個(gè)展”，是西班牙藝術(shù)家?jiàn)W烏卡·萊蕾（Ouka Leele）在中國(guó)的第一次個(gè)人回顧展。

　　這是北京伊比利亞當(dāng)代藝術(shù)中心與西班牙馬德里Tomás y Valiente藝術(shù)中心（CEART）繼“詩(shī)意現(xiàn)實(shí)：對(duì)江南的一種解讀——來(lái)自中國(guó)南方的當(dāng)代藝術(shù)”展之后的第二次合作，后者曾于今年五月在馬德里芬拉布拉達(dá)舉辦，引起轟動(dòng)。這兩次互動(dòng)的展覽是兩家藝術(shù)中心簽署友好交流合作協(xié)議的產(chǎn)物，該合作協(xié)議旨在中國(guó)和西班牙雙向促進(jìn)和推廣兩國(guó)藝術(shù)家的作品。

　　奧烏卡·萊蕾是西班牙著名攝影家，其藝術(shù)生涯可以追溯到七十年代末期，與同為女性的美國(guó)藝術(shù)家辛迪·舍曼（Cindy Sherman）一樣，她作為歐洲的藝術(shù)家躋身于當(dāng)時(shí)那個(gè)時(shí)代的標(biāo)志性人物的行列。奧烏卡·萊蕾參與了上世紀(jì)八十年代著名的馬德里新潮派文化運(yùn)動(dòng)（La Movida），這一文化潮流在二十世紀(jì)八十年代隨著民主時(shí)代的到來(lái)、以馬德里為中心席卷了整個(gè)西班牙，并影響了整個(gè)歐洲大陸。生于1957年的奧烏卡·萊蕾，自幼年起便開(kāi)始畫(huà)畫(huà)，一直受到大自然與普拉多博物館大師們風(fēng)格的影響。1976年進(jìn)入新興攝影學(xué)校“攝影中心”學(xué)習(xí)，在那里，后來(lái)在八十年代西班牙藝術(shù)家所表達(dá)出的新觀念開(kāi)始被預(yù)見(jiàn)、并被表達(dá)出來(lái)。奧烏卡·萊蕾的創(chuàng)作一直游走于兩個(gè)世界之間：繪畫(huà)與攝影、靈魂與實(shí)體。還是藝術(shù)學(xué)生的時(shí)候，她就開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)攝影，并從中發(fā)現(xiàn)了表達(dá)的新方式。對(duì)繪畫(huà)的需求以及對(duì)黑白現(xiàn)實(shí)的迷戀驅(qū)使她將繪畫(huà)與攝影相結(jié)合，并逐漸形成了個(gè)性化的藝術(shù)語(yǔ)言，籍此繼續(xù)繪畫(huà)同時(shí)運(yùn)用攝影作為她對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)再創(chuàng)作的工具。

　　她的作品被其本人認(rèn)為是“視覺(jué)詩(shī)歌、一種不以語(yǔ)言來(lái)表達(dá)的方式。是戲劇、想象、繪畫(huà)和攝影的混雜。”，從中發(fā)展了極為個(gè)人化的藝術(shù)語(yǔ)言，融合了繪畫(huà)與攝影兩種形式。而評(píng)論界將她的作品歸類于手繪攝影，并命名為水彩攝影，其創(chuàng)作過(guò)程分為四個(gè)步驟：拍攝照片、沖洗正片、上色及保存圖片。她獨(dú)特的個(gè)人化創(chuàng)作導(dǎo)致出現(xiàn)兩種面貌：肖像——她以有難度的簡(jiǎn)化風(fēng)格描繪現(xiàn)實(shí)的不同元素、不同主題；或以感性且私密的手法貼近、演繹自然與作為生命之母的女性世界。

　　由伊比利亞當(dāng)代藝術(shù)中心和馬德里Tomás y Valiente藝術(shù)中心策劃的展覽“奧烏卡·萊蕾：在兩個(gè)世界之間”，是對(duì)該藝術(shù)家創(chuàng)作的一次綜合回顧，展示了她的67件作品，涵蓋了其1979年第一次個(gè)展“發(fā)廊系列”至今的整個(gè)藝術(shù)生涯，其中包括了她在上世紀(jì)八十年代著名的馬德里新潮派文化運(yùn)動(dòng)（La Movida）期間創(chuàng)作的著名作品。

　　Iberia Center for Contemporary Art will present Ouka Leele: Between Two Worlds, the first retrospective of the Spanish artist Ouka Leele in China.

　　This exhibition is a further collaboration between Iberia Center for Contemporary Art of Beijing and Tomás y Valiente Art Center of Fuenlabrada (Madrid), following the exhibition Poetic Realism: A Reinterpretation of Jiangnan - Contemporary Art from South China held in Fuenlabrada (Madrid), May 2008, which has created a great sensation in culture scene. These exhibitions are results of the collaboration agreement between both Institutions to open a two-way channel to promote and develop the work of Chinese artists in Europe and Spanish artists in China.

　　Ouka Leele, a prestigious Spanish female photographer with an art career dating back to the late 70’s, ranks among the landmark figures of Europe as a contemporary of the American female artist Cindy Sherman. Ouka Leele participated into the new wave cultural movement La Movida, which began in Spain, especially in Madrid, during the 80s with the arrival of Democracy, and swept all over the European continent. Born in Madrid in 1957, Ouka Leele started painting when she was very young, always influenced by the Nature and the great masters from Museo del Prado. In 1976 she started her studies at Photocentro, an innovative photography school where you could glimpse the ideas that the young Spanish artists develop later in the 80s. Ouka Leele′s universe has always been between two worlds, painting and photography, the earthly and the spiritual. When she was studying fine arts at university, she also began to study photography, and a strong way to express herself was revealed to her. Driven by the need of painting and the fascination with black and white photography, she fuses both techniques and develops her personal artistic language. She still continues painting, but using photography to register the reality previously created by her.

　　In her work, the personal artistic language with the fusion of photography and painting, to quote her own metaphor, is “visual poetry, a manner of speaking without words, and a blend of drama, imagination, painting and photography”. A critic has named her work of black and white pictures hand-colored with watercolor as “fotoacuarelas” (watercolor photographies). The process takes four steps: take the picture, make the positive of the film, paint the positive, and conserve the image. Presently, her unique work develops along two paths: one is works of portraits, in which she interpretes reality with a difficult simplicity, the other a sentimental and intimate approach to the Nature, which is related to the concept of feminity and the creator of life.

　　Ouka Leele: Between Two Worlds is a comprehensive retrospective, organized by Iberia Center for Contemporary Art of Beijing and Tomas y Valiente Art Center of Fuenlabrada (Madrid), which will showcase a collection of 67 pieces of Ouka Leele′s works from all different stages of her artistic career: from Hairdresser′s Series of her first solo in 1979, and works of the 1980s during the new wave cultural movement in Madrid, La Movida.
