展览介绍


盖达尔阿利耶夫中心举办了世界著名艺术家岳敏君个展,展出了“自画像”和“花”两个系列的 17 件作品。展览由盖达尔阿利耶夫中心和唐人当代艺术馆联合举办。

岳敏君是中国当代艺术最著名的代表人物,他于 1987 年首次展出自己的作品,并从 1990 年代初开始以“自画像”系列作品在国际舞台上亮相;这幅作品在平面和雕塑中都很常见。有些人认为艺术家在自画像中的大笑是戏谑的,而另一些人则认为它戏剧化且悲伤。无论如何,这幅画作让任何人都无法无动于衷。

岳敏君首次参加第 48 届威尼斯双年展是在 1997 年。  1999 年,他为中国艺术家在随后的所有全球重要双年展上亮相铺平了道路。这在一定程度上表明了他不仅对中国艺术,而且对整个现代艺术界的影响。2007 年,《时代》杂志将他列入“2007 年重要人物”提名名单,并解释了这一选择:“如果我们这个时代的大问题是如何看待中国,那么他就是描绘中国的最佳人选。”

 艺术家著名的《花》系列作品探讨了新冠疫情带来的限制措施所带来的后果。与不久前的真实生活形成鲜明对比的是,画中人物的脸部没有被医用口罩遮住,而是被不同的花朵遮住。“我不否认现实,我对现实持怀疑态度”,这是艺术家对当时发生的事情的态度。

岳敏君的作品在不同国家举办了30多场个展。他的作品被收藏在世界上最著名的画廊和博物馆中:旧金山现代艺术博物馆、丹佛艺术博物馆、芝加哥建筑博物馆、弗朗索瓦·密特朗文化中心、新加坡联合大学艺术博物馆、釜山美术馆、广东美术馆和深圳美术馆等。

岳敏君的个展《笑脸花园》将于2024年6月8日至10月27日在盖达尔·阿利耶夫中心举行。


“Garden of Grins" solo exhibition by Yue Minjun

 to be exhibited at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan

The Heydar Aliyev Center has mounted a solo exhibition by the world-famous artist Yue Minjun, with 17 works of art on display from the two series, "Self-Portrait" and "Flowers". The exhibition is organized jointly by the Heydar Aliyev Center and the Tang Contemporary Art.

The best-known exponent of contemporary Chinese art, Yue Minjun first exhibited his works in 1987 and, from the early 1990s, announced his arrival as an artist on the international scene with his series, "Self-Portrait"; the image there so familiar now in both graphics and sculpture. Some believe the artist's smile in his self-portrait to be sly, while others see it as dramatic and sad. In any event, it is an image that leaves no one indifferent.

Yue Minjun’s first participation in the 48th edition of the Venice Biennale, in 1999, paved the way for Chinese artists to figure in all succeeding globally significant biennales. This is some indication of his influence, not only on Chinese art, but on the whole modern art world. In 2007, "Time" magazine included him in its nomination for "2007 People Who Mattered", explaining its choice thus: "If the big-picture question of our time is what to make of China, this is the man to paint it.”

The artist's famous "Flowers" series deals with the consequences of the restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to real life in that not-so-distant past, the faces portrayed are not covered by medical masks, but by different flowers. "I don't deny reality, I am suspicious of it," is how the artist expresses his attitude to what happened then.

More than 30 solo exhibitions of Yue Minjun’s works have been held in different countries. His works are in the collections of the world’s most famous galleries and museums: the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Chicago Architecture Museum, the François Mitterrand Cultural Centre, Singapore’s Union University Art Museum, the Busan ​​Art Museum, the Guangdong Museum of Art and the Shenzhen Art Museum, among others.

Yue Minjun's solo exhibition "Garden of Grins" can be seen at the Heydar Aliyev Center from 8 June to 27 October 2024.
