王強 | 熟悉的夜 開始時間:2021/11/27 結(jié)束時間:2022/01/16 展覽地點:空白空間(草場地) 展覽地址:北京市朝陽區(qū)機場輔路草場地255號 參展藝術(shù)家:王強 主辦單位:空白空間 我們高興地宣布,王強的第五回個展將在2021年11月27日于空白空間(草場地)開幕并持續(xù)至2022年1月16日。本次展覽將呈現(xiàn)王強近期的全新繪畫創(chuàng)作。 夜是曖昧而綿延的,我們從來無法言之鑿鑿地說出夜之來臨與離去的準確時間。夜也是確切而不可抗拒的,“太陽照常升起”,夜晚也從不缺席。夜是一種復合的時空狀態(tài),有些光線、溫度、聲音乃至心境只屬于夜,也由此,夜與夜不同,海上的夜、林中的夜與城市的夜并不相同,而或許只有城市中的夜,才是大多數(shù)當代人所熟悉的夜:城市作為人之所處的物理空間,夜成為一段特定的心理時間。 夜的曖昧與確切也是王強繪畫的曖昧與確切。王強的繪畫往往處在抽象與具象之間,給人一種既熟悉,卻也朦朧而疏離的感受。這樣一種感受,來源于畫面中不遠不近的視角,一種觀望的姿態(tài),似乎畫家與其對象總是保持著一段止于禮的距離;也來源于畫家的罩染式繪畫中所提供的某種幾近“失焦”般的微妙視覺:在整體上可被辨析的具體形象喚起著觀者切身的經(jīng)驗與記憶,而難以捕獲的具體細節(jié)則賦予了畫面更類似于夢境的質(zhì)感。 《熟悉的夜》是與展覽同名的系列繪畫,王強在作品中描繪了一系列夜幕初降后,辦公樓宇內(nèi)外的情境——每一個都市人最熟悉不過的景象。天色雖已暗淡,但不至于漆黑。畫面暗部的窗格冷峻且深邃,并潛藏著諸多變化而流動的細節(jié),仿佛暗示了夜的蠢蠢欲動。與之相對應的,是辦公樓窗格內(nèi)大多昏黃而顯溫暖的內(nèi)部空間,似乎給予了仍未停歇的都市人一絲溫暖的慰藉。屋內(nèi)的人們身處不同的房間,有的向外眺望,有的伏于案頭,盡管模糊的面部讓我們無法確知他們此刻的心情,但是或端拿著煙的手,或微微傾斜的身姿,讓我們感到他們心事重重。幾何線條形塑的框架、透視像是城市中無處不在的規(guī)則、限制,并于畫面結(jié)構(gòu)中給予了房屋內(nèi)小局部的縱深感,更暗示了樓宇內(nèi)未盡的故事和未明的心情。 而更進一步地,這種“熟悉的夜”的狀態(tài)被畫家凝練為某種超越了夜的特定時間段的存在,以來源于個體的經(jīng)驗以及集體無意識,整體性地彌漫在其繪畫中。即便是那些描繪艷陽高照的午間(《白晝》),甚或是難以辨別時間的、由強烈閃光捕獲的日常生活細節(jié)(《小辦公室》、《等待》等)的作品中,觀者同樣能感受到靜謐、克制、冷峻與不安等與“夜”同頻的復雜體驗。 王強,1971年出生于中國北京。1997年在中央美術(shù)學院版畫系獲得學士學位,2004年在杜塞爾多夫藝術(shù)學院獲得Meisterschluele & Akademiebrief學位。近期的個展包括:熟悉的夜,空白空間,北京,中國(2021);詩人的冬天,空白空間,北京,中國(2017);陌生的城,空白空間,北京,中國(2015)。近期的群展包括:介入與再造——當代繪畫的圖像方式,廣東美術(shù)館,廣州,中國(2020);漫游者之歌,空白空間,北京,中國(2019)。王強現(xiàn)生活和工作于北京。 We are pleased to announce that Wang Qiang’s fifth solo exhi-bi-tion will open at WHITE SPACE (Caochang-di) on Novem-ber 27, 2021, and run through Jan-u-ary 16, 2022. This exhi-bi-tion will present Wang Qiang’s recent new paint-ings. The night is ambigu-ous and pro-longed, and we can nev-er say with cer-tain-ty the exact time of its arrival and depar-ture. The night is also def-i-nite and irre-sistible, “the sun ris-es as usu-al,” and the night is nev-er absent. Night com-pounds time and space. Some light, tem-per-a-ture, sound, and even state of mind belong only to the night. Each night is unique. A night at sea, a night in the for-est and a night in the city are not the same. Per-haps only the one in the city is famil-iar to most con-tem-po-raries: the city as the phys-i-cal space where peo-ple live, night con-tains a spe-cif-ic psy-cho-log-i-cal time. The ambi-gu-i-ty and exac-ti-tude of the night also char-ac-ter-ize Wang Qiang’s paint-ings. Wang Qiang’s works on can-vas, sit-u-at-ed between abstrac-tion and fig-u-ra-tion, ren-der a sense of famil-iar-i-ty and bewil-der-ing detach-ment. Such a sense comes from the not-too-dis-tant per-spec-tive in the pic-ture. It main-tains the ges-ture of look-ing, dic-tat-ed by the painter’s medi-at-ed dis-tance to his sub-ject, pre-serves cer-tain polite-ness. It also comes from the almost “out-of-focus” sub-tle vision pro-vid-ed by the painter’s homoge-nous tone, where the dis-cernible con-crete images as a whole while the blur-ry details offer the pic-tures a more dream-like qual-i-ty. Wang Qiang depicts a series of scenes inside and out-side office build-ings after night-fall in Acquaint-ed with the Night, a series of works on can-vas with the epony-mous title as the exhi-bi-tion. In these most famil-iar scenes to every urban dweller, the sky is dim but not dark. The dark win-dow-panes seem uninvit-ing and pro-found, with many shift-ing and flow-ing details lurk-ing in the back-ground as if hint-ing at the dread-ful move-ment in the night. In con-trast, the inte-ri-or space of the office build-ing, which is gen-tly lit, seems to offer a touch of warmth and com-fort to the urban res-i-dents who have yet to repose. The fig-ures inside are in dif-fer-ent rooms, some look-ing out, some work-ing on their desks. How-ev-er, their faces may be indis-tinct for us to know what their exact feel-ings are at the moment, but the hands hold-ing the cig-a-rettes, or the slight-ly lean-ing pos-ture, led us in on their pre-oc-cu-pa-tion. The geo-met-ric lines shap-ing the frame and per-spec-tive remind one of the ubiq-ui-tous rules and restric-tions in the urban envi-ron-ment and add par-tial depth to the room’s inte-ri-or space, under-scor-ing the unfin-ished sto-ries and unex-plained moods inside the build-ing. Fur-ther-more, the artist con-densed this state of Acquaint-ed with the Night into a tem-po-ral exis-tence beyond any spe-cif-ic moment in the night, which holis-ti-cal-ly per-vades his paint-ings, draw-ing on indi-vid-ual expe-ri-ences and the col-lec-tive uncon-scious. Even the works depict-ing sun-ny mid-day (Day-light), or an indis-tin-guish-able moment where details of dai-ly life are cap-tured by intense flash-es of light (Small Office, Wait-ing, etc.), the view-er would grasp the vibrat-ing res-o-nance of silence, restraint, cold-ness, and uneasi-ness one iden-ti-fies with the “night.” Wang Qiang (b.1971, Bei-jing, Chi-na) received his BFA from the Print-mak-ing Depart-ment of the Cen-tral Acad-e-my of Fine Arts (CAFA) in 1997. In 2004, he obtained his Mas-ter’s degree (i.e. Meis-ter-schüler) at the Düs-sel-dorf Acad-e-my of Fine Arts. Recent solo exhi-bi-tions include Acquaint-ed with the Night, WHITE SPACE, Bei-jing, Chi-na (2021); The Poet-’s Win-ter, WHITE SPACE, Bei-jing, Chi-na (2017); Fremde Stadt, WHITE SPACE, Bei-jing, Chi-na (2015). Recent group exhi-bi-tion includes Inter-ven-tion and Rede-vel-op-ment: The Imagery Means of Con-tem-po-rary Art, Guang-dong Muse-um of Art, Guangzhou, Chi-na (2020); A White Space Odyssey, WHITE SPACE, Bei-jing, Chi-na (2019). Wang Qiang cur-rent-ly lives and works in Bei-jing. 藝術(shù)家介紹 王強 王強的繪畫經(jīng)過抽象和極簡主義的提煉,理性地建構(gòu)出具有個人獨特風格的現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)理念?,F(xiàn)實生活中的色彩被提亮提純,壓縮簡化,其作品可信的現(xiàn)場感和清涼的通透感,使得畫面中不可思議地流動著空氣,呈現(xiàn)出比過去或未來更加撲朔迷離的感官體驗。 王強,1971年出生于中國北京。1997年在中央美術(shù)學院版畫系獲得學士學位,2004年在杜塞爾多夫藝術(shù)學院獲得Meisterschluele & Akademiebrief 學位。近期的個展包括:熟悉的夜,空白空間,北京,中國(2021);詩人的冬天,空白空間,北京,中國(2017);陌生的城,空白空間,北京,中國(2015)。近期的群展包括:介入與再造——當代繪畫的圖像方式,廣東美術(shù)館,廣州,中國(2020);漫游者之歌,空白空間,北京,中國(2019)。王強現(xiàn)生活和工作在北京。 WANG QIANG Wang Qiang’s paint-ing skills were honed through abstrac-tion and min-i-mal-ism. He ratio-nal-ly con-structs mod-ern artis-tic notions with a unique indi-vid-ual style. In his works the col-ors of real life are bright-ened and puri-fied, com-pressed and sim-pli-fied. An cred-i-ble sense of live, on-the-spot pres-ence and a refresh-ing sense of trans-parence inject an incred-i-ble flow of air into the pic-ture, demon-strat-ing a sen-so-ry expe-ri-ence that’s even more bewil-der-ing than the past or the future.
