For English see bottom 115樓1904室:梁遠(yuǎn)葦個(gè)展
Boers-Li畫廊榮幸地向您宣布,藝術(shù)家梁遠(yuǎn)葦將于5月31日至7月13日,在本畫廊的主空間舉辦她的最新個(gè)展——《115樓1904室:梁遠(yuǎn)葦個(gè)展》。
梁遠(yuǎn)葦1977年生于西安,1999年畢業(yè)于中央美術(shù)學(xué)院。作為一位年輕藝術(shù)家,她的攝影、繪畫及裝置作品關(guān)注的是每日生活里語(yǔ)言符號(hào)學(xué)意義上的美好與壓抑的聯(lián)結(jié)點(diǎn)。作為N12的成員之一,還在學(xué)生時(shí)代,梁遠(yuǎn)葦即開始舉辦展覽并且吸引了國(guó)際范圍的關(guān)注。
梁遠(yuǎn)葦近期的大部分作品關(guān)注的主題是私密性、人與人之間的交流、個(gè)體自身的感受及其所帶來(lái)的感動(dòng)。顯然藝術(shù)家認(rèn)為正是這些感動(dòng),填滿了內(nèi)心與日常生活的空白空間。與眾不同的是,梁遠(yuǎn)葦?shù)淖髌肪芙^女性藝術(shù)家們特有的、理想的女性題材,而是關(guān)注對(duì)社會(huì)題材更廣泛地探索。
梁遠(yuǎn)葦?shù)膶?shí)踐對(duì)藝術(shù)技巧有嚴(yán)格的要求,并且常常對(duì)于時(shí)間及精力的安排也有特定量的要求。這促使觀眾在看作品的同時(shí),須重新審視那交織成每日平凡生活的、使人銷魂或痛苦的微妙問(wèn)題。藝術(shù)家拒絕簡(jiǎn)單易得的答案,更樂(lè)于對(duì)感知環(huán)境進(jìn)行艱苦地重構(gòu)。
此次個(gè)展將展示的是藝術(shù)家最新的油畫系列《生活的片斷》,這組油畫以藝術(shù)家自己擁有的衣服或者布單上的花紋為藍(lán)本來(lái)進(jìn)行繪畫。畫面上細(xì)碎的小花及柔和的底 色不是死氣沉沉的,仔細(xì)看,它們似乎從自身發(fā)出柔和的光來(lái),又像一片海洋,花朵在里面沉沉浮浮。就專業(yè)技法的角度來(lái)說(shuō),《生活的片斷》的創(chuàng)作過(guò)程需要極大 的耐心及定力,藝術(shù)家從畫面的一個(gè)邊開始繪畫,從這個(gè)方向以條狀推進(jìn),每天只畫窄窄的一條。于是每天看到的圖案都不是完整的,在整個(gè)畫面完成之前,即便是 藝術(shù)家本人也無(wú)法預(yù)料到完成時(shí)畫面會(huì)成為什么樣子。并且,哪怕有一筆小小的失誤,整幅畫就失敗了,必須從頭來(lái)過(guò)——因?yàn)榍靶┨炖L畫的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)干了,無(wú)法修 改。
這組油畫像是一個(gè)微妙的提示,告訴人們對(duì)于混亂的外部世界暴政的反抗是可能的,并且力求通過(guò)每日不懈地、細(xì)致入微地繪畫創(chuàng)作,開墾出一個(gè)存在于已知世界之內(nèi)的 “桃花源”

BLDG 115, RM 1904: Liang Yuanwei Solo Exhibition
Boers-Li Gallery is pleased to announce that Liang Yuanwei will be featured in the next solo exhibition in the main project space, opening on May 31 and running through July 13. The project is entitled BLDG 115, RM 1904.
Liang Yuanwei, a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Art originally from Xi’an born in 1977, is a young artist whose photography, painting, and installation work often focuses on articulating the sites of both beauty and oppression in the semiotics of the everyday. As a member of the N12 group, she began organizing exhibitions and attracting international attention along with her peers while still a student.
Her most recent work has involved themes of discretion, secrecy, interpersonal communication, domesticity, and the affect produced therein. Significantly, she seems to claim that this affect is all that fills up the empty space that dominates domesticity and everyday life. Uniquely, her practice rejects the feminine specificity idealized by so many of her peers in favor of more broadly universal explorations of social themes.
Technically rigorous and often requiring extraordinary amounts of time and energy, Liang Yuanwei’s artistic practice forces her audience to re-inspect the subtle points of ecstasy and torture that make up the fabric of the everyday, leading to a rejection of easy answers in favor of a laborious reconstruction of the perceived environment.
This latest exhibition will feature a number of works from the artist’s A Piece of Life series, which takes the patterns and prints of the artist’s own clothing and fabric as its inspiration. The texturing is impeccable, with mellow colors creating a sensation of floating blossoms. The focus in these works, however, is above all on the meticulous process involved in their production.
The creation of these paintings required large amounts of patience and concentration. The artist started painting from one edge, working consistently in the same direction and progressing strip by strip, each day painting only a very narrow strip. Because the pattern remained incomplete at the end of each day, the artist was unable to anticipate what its final appearance would be. At the same time, she worked under constant fear: a single misplaced brushstroke or minor mistake would mean the failure of the whole piece. Because the previous day’s work was already dry, there would be no way to correct any mistakes other than starting over anew.
These paintings and their process act as a subtle reminder of resistance to the tyranny of the chaotic outside world, reclaiming habitable space through anticipation and tedium.
