Ke Jiajun often uses gray scale or cold tones to depict lonely and alienated imagery in his painting creations. The elements appearing in his constructed "Small Garden" are endowed with a mythical narrative in a calm and restrained manner, exploring the "divinity" hidden within individuals against the backdrop of an ordered world.

Seeing Through Light: The Intimate Narrative
Curated by WANG Yaoli November 4 - 19, 2023伯年艺术空间欣然宣布,将于2023年11月4日(星期六)推出群展“夜,是关于光的叙事”。展览由 王垚力担任策展人,参展的十二位艺术家包括: 陈皓轩、 高郁韬、 葛雅静、 何海昱、 吉一玮、 柯家俊、 孔慧东、 李非凡、 刘唯一、 栾晓晨、 尹子昂、 曾臻,共展出二十八件架上绘画与收藏级艺术微喷作品。本次展览将在 上海M50创意园展出,展览持续至11月19日。 九月的随笔 夜里,在回家的路上。老小区要比公寓的周围安静很多,不敢相信这里是在城市中,更像走在村儿里不是吗?我享受被黑夜的宁静包裹,同时不解自己为何并不惧怕这可以吞了人的黑暗。想到海子在《黑夜的献诗——献给黑夜的女儿》中所写“…黑雨滴一样的鸟群,从黄昏飞入黑夜。黑夜一无所有,为何给我安慰…”想说我就是单纯喜欢夜晚吧,这没什么特别的。可想到这里,我突然意识到自己的目光始终没有从那些被路灯映照着,而散发出落日般温暖的物体上移开。直到最后,我还是被光吸引了,还有那晚的月亮和星星。 ——策展人 王垚力 展览“夜,是关于光的叙事”,以艺术美学中极为重要的主题之一“光”作为串联作品的线索。展出来自十二位艺术家的二十八件新近作品,分别从哲学与神话、戏剧与艺术、历史与文献、记忆与情感等不同引发艺术家创作与思考的面向入手,围绕人们感知“光”的能力和体验,探讨当代绘画与影像创作中独特的叙事语言和风格表 现。 展览所探讨的“光”,不仅包括“光”作为艺术创作的重要组成,即艺术家通过绘画或摄影的方式对其进行直接的描绘或间接的映衬;还将借由展出的二十八件作品从感知层面出发,为“光”作为一种意象的存在,去提供理解诗意(poetic)和共情(empathy)的特殊路径。 陈皓轩 的《卡布里岛的猫咪》延续使用了贯穿其创作中指代自身或他者的符号“黑猫”,以“黑猫”为情感的缩影,记录了他旅行于卡布里岛期间,有关亲密关系的遗憾与彷徨;高郁韬的《达摩克利斯之石》系列作品,通过对机械扫描的主观介入,赋予了历史雕像向上生长的动态。借由对神话中经典的形象的塑造,再次探讨神、人,和命运的关系这一永恒不衰的哲学主题。 葛雅静的《暮色剧场》和《穿透紫雾,共赴何处》,是她思考在时间的更迭下,生命终将从华美走向衰败的极具诗意和对抗力量的表达;何海昱的创作基于自身情绪的变化和对荒诞图像的“再处理”,展出的三幅作品《夜猫子》《夜行》《藏猫猫》以日记式的创作契机,记录了她生活在南方城市夜游时的所见所感。 通过绘画的方式,吉一玮将现实与荒诞杂糅在一起,《惘猎图》中不同身份的人物形象,被不具名的力量安放在充斥着现实主义的奇幻色彩之地;柯家俊用灰白构建的“小花园”中,富有神性的《交柯》之树成为了揭示“二元”关系最具代表性的特殊象征;与此同时,孔慧东的《鸽子》也用隐喻的方式,揭示了在意识与观念中处于无形又时刻存在的对立关系;李非凡的《Game...Read more -
