展览介绍



上海民生现代美术馆荣幸带来闫冰的同名个展《闫冰》,鲁明军担任本次展览的学术主持。展览将于2016年6月12日开幕,展出艺术家的50余件绘画及装置作品。

闫冰是中国目前十分活跃的年轻艺术家之一,在闫冰的创作中,他通常使用的是平凡的、甚至是原始的材料,然而在这些日常之物的表象下,隐藏的是艺术家对于生命认知的温度。在闫冰的作品中透露出来的情感是复杂的,其中不仅有闫冰对简单与朴素的渴求,同时其作品也渗透着感悟和思辨、疼痛和欣喜。在一种“古意”的创作中,闫冰的作品透露出的是一种对当下个体经验的深刻思考。

本次展览将展出闫冰2011年至今创作的作品,包括早期的《箱子》、《泥土与镜子》,后期的《疼痛的重量》、《爱》以及在2016年创作的最新作品。这些作品呈现了艺术家创作脉络的演进,其中近一半的作品为首次展出。闫冰将身边的日常之物以及艺术家的个体经验混合,转换成了艺术家对精神性的追求。在他的创作中,情感是其艺术实践的起因和动力,然而艺术家却将所有的情绪隐藏在了作品形式的内部。闫冰曾经的劳作生活形成了他的价值判断,而泥巴、农具以及家乡重要的农作物小麦和土豆则成为了他主要的图像形式和观念母题。闫冰并非是单纯的现成品挪用,而是在这此基础上,予以一种形式的改造和美学的重组,甚至他亲力亲为的制作方式本身都承载着某种经验和观念。闫冰通过调动材料的物质属性,构建了一个新的视觉或空间场域。这种与现实之间的距离,使得作品本身生发出一种强烈的仪式感和纪念碑的性质。

闫冰的作品在揭示自然或乡土之神圣根源的同时,也是在重启艺术本身及其所在的当代语境中的一种自然和神圣。艺术家的思考和行动诱使我们去重新触摸和认知这个世界原本自然的属性——用闫冰自己的话说,它是一种性感、内敛、天成和神圣。

展览将持续至7月10日。同期还将呈现另一位艺术家周啸虎的个展《地上》。

Shanghai Minsheng Art Museum

For immediate release

Yanbing

Date: June 12 – July 10, 2016

Academic Host: Lu Mingjun

Shanghai Minsheng Art Museum is pleased to present Yan Bing, solo exhibition of artist Yan Bing.  With Lu Mingjun, curator, critic and associate professor at the Fine Art College of Sichuan University, taking the role as academic moderator, the exhibition to be open on June 12, 2016, will feature over 50 paintings and installations by the artist.

As one of the most active emerging artists in China, Yan Bing is known for his ingenious use of ordinary, even mundane and rough materials. What lies underneath the surface of the ordinary is the warmth and depth of his perception towards life. Emotions revealed in Yan’s works are complicated: the longing for simplicity and plainness in mixed with speculative contemplation and joyful bitterness. Overwhelmed by a sense of “classic aesthetics”, Yan’s work radiates insightful reflection upon and exploration into individual experience in the contemporary context.

The exhibition features works produced by Yan Bing from 2011 till now, including early works such as Box, Earth and Mirror, The Weight of Pain and Love as well as new works produced in 2016. Half of the exhibits are put on display for the first time, casting new light on the evolution of the artist’s practice. By mixing everyday objects with his own individual experience, he manages to imbue them with the passion for exploring further on the spiritual level. In his work, emotion plays the role as both the trigger and the driving force for his artistic exploration; nevertheless, the artist in the meantime also strives to conceal all the emotions behind the works. The days he spent laboring in the field have a lingering influence on him, leading to the fact that mud, farm tools and crops like wheat and potato are featured in his work as key images and concepts. More than a simple appropriation of ready-mades, Yan Bing’s approach endeavors to achieve a kind of transformation in the form and reconstruction in the aesthetic sense. It could even be said that his “do-it-yourself” approach in itself reflects certain experience and concepts. Through the mobilization the physical properties of materials, he manages to construct a new vision and spatial field. The distance between such and the reality implants his work with a strong sense of ritual as well as monumental nature.

While trying to cast light on the sacred root of the nature and the homeland, Yan Bing’s work also inspires a kind of new nature and sacredness from within art and the contemporary context in which art is embedded. His action and reflection lure audience to perceive and get in touch with the world and its natural properties– or in his own words, its sexiness, restrainedness, harmony and sacredness –in a new light.

The exhibition will run through July 10. Chimera, solo exhibition of Zhou Xiaohu, will be on view during the same period.
