纸上实践

艺术家：陈墙、迟群、杜婕、董大为、郭梦垚、李昶、张帆

展期：2019年1月5日-3月9日

今格空间将于2019年1月5日至3月9日呈现冬季群展“纸上实践”，展出七位艺术家陈墙、迟群、杜婕、董大为、郭梦垚、李昶、张帆以纸为媒介的作品。展览讨论的主题指向艺术家自身的文化背景及“纸”作为一种主要或辅助媒介在其自身创作中的特殊身份。

陈墙在创作中使用多种材料合并的方法来抵消它们的各自特征，用理性的手段提炼出更纯粹的感性；迟群用水彩笔创作简单却极度质感的线条，传达出艺术家冷静与克制的表现力和控制力；杜婕将墨汁施于纸上的过程，放弃了任何修正“不想要”的错误的机会，巩固了她在实践里对潜意识的处理，作品的视觉表达突出真实性和现实感；董大为用马克笔在吸墨纸上运用不可逆的技术方式控制色彩的扩张与交汇，媒介嬗变为介于绘画和空间之间的物质；郭梦垚的作品记录和讨论“印刷的理性”行为在绘画过程“动态”中的影响；李昶将纸笔意义赋予在它们始终提示着艺术家创作中不可预知性的重要和跟从直觉的必要性；张帆将重复而不同的线条溶在纸面中，“画”这个动作的节奏感、质感、情绪、律动等等元素都呈现在作品的痕迹里。

艺术家在“纸”这种既普遍又特殊的材质上，以不同的工作方法展现其创作的多样性。点、线、面、颜色、结构、观念等情感性表达在理性的控制下呈现出丰富的平面有机体。

Practice on Paper

Artists:Chen Qiang, Chi Qun, Dong Dawei, Guo Mengyao, Lisa Chang Lee, Zhang Fan

Exhibition Dates：5th January to 9th  March 2019

Gingko Space is proud to present their winter show, the group exhibition “Practice on Paper”, which runs from January 5th to March 9th 2019. The exhibition will feature the works of nine artists (Chen Qiang, Chi Qun, Dong Dawei, Guo Mengyao, Lisa Chang Lee, Zhang Fan) who employ paper as a primary medium. 

The theme of the exhibition explores the respective cultural backgrounds of the artists, and the unique role that paper – either as a primary or a supporting medium – plays in their artistic journeys. 

In Chen Qiang's work, Chinese rice paper and ink resonate with Western canvases and oil paint, and in the process their respective characters are confronted and cancelled out: hence, the sensibility of the artwork is refined through this rational process. Chi Qun's watercolour brushes create strokes that are simplistic yet rich in texture, demonstrating the artist's calm, restrained sense of expression and deliberate skill. On the other hand, Du Jie's method of applying ink to paper expresses her openness towards “undesired” mistakes in a frank discussion with her unconscious. The visual expressions of her work are a manifesto for authenticity and a sense of reality. Meanwhile, Dong Dawei makes use of marker pens and blotting paper: an irreversible approach to navigate intersecting colours. Thus, the medium used is transformed into the material between painting and space. Guo Mengyao's piece documents and investigates how the “rationality of printing” impacts the dynamic process of painting; Lisa Chang Lee closely observes the brush and the paper, for they, from the very beginning, imply the necessity of maintaining unpredictability in artistic practices, and the significance of following one's intuitions. Zhang Fan dissolves repetitive but subtly varying strokes on the paper: the rhythm, texture, mood, and dynamics of the act of painting, are all manifested in these traces on paper. 

The exhibiting artists create an ensemble of diverse creative processes on “paper” - a ubiquitous and yet unique medium. All emotional expressions – dot, line, surface, colour, structure and concept – are channeled through rational processes, creating rich organic works on the two-dimensional landscape of paper.
