李一丙是北京宋庄艺术家群中的一位，1966年生于河北的邯郸。李一丙的画 , 色彩很柔和艳丽，给人一种愉悦童话般的感受。看他的画，会立刻被画面上的大片色彩和细腻的画功所吸引，他把精神思想隐蔽在色彩之中，让观众透过他细腻的笔触慢慢品味。“冥想系列”是反映现时人们想象问题的一种方式，对展望未来的憧憬和欲望，让现实社会中骚动不安及矛盾重重的心理状态获得软着陆。
他画中有红色气球；蓝色雨伞；他画的婴儿形象不是一件具体写真，而是一种心象的反映。成群或单个的似成年但充满纯真的婴儿，给观者一种渴望回归的意愿。他总是闭目冥想，天使般小心翼翼地在思绪弥漫的天空中飘动或雀跃，在沉思冥想中寻找自己的空间，现实与历史在心中交织，超脱与逃避，反映着画家的精神境界。作者在渴望一种对现实的改变，在膨胀的物欲里寻求安静和纯真的愿望.画家对过去与现实的冥想实际是一种思考。无助；迷茫；拒绝；但又充满怀念和渴望。冥想是期望和寄托，是对无奈现实的超越。
李一丙通过绘画对遥远过去和遥远未来进行了虚构或重构，意识形态的冥想和现实的相孛，在画面里达到和谐。他作品中没有那些喧嚣的扭曲疯狂的东西，但是却震撼人心。
现今的消费时代，流行文化充斥人们日常生活和思维。现实欲望的膨胀令人无所适从，画家以现实的境遇感受历史的遭遇。铺天盖地的红与婴儿的自我冥想和陶醉相成鲜明的对比。寻找庇护的场所，那些伞，所能庇护的也只是柔软的雨，寻找过程不过是个欲望气球放气的过程，欲望的衰减意味着安全的靠近，同时理想和创造也随之远离。这正是画家的两难境地，就象金钱和艺术的取舍，富足生活与艺术追求，大多是矛盾的。这正是画家精神世界的表现，他自己形容为“麻木的乐观”，这或许正是现代人生活心态的一种写照。

Meditation - New Works by Li Yi Bing
精藝軒 www.artbeatus.com
Art Beatus Exhibition Space
35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong
( Near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace )
December 5 - 23, 2007
Artist will attend the opening ceremony from 6:30 to 8:30pm on December 5, 2007
Art Beatus will present a selection of oil paintings works of Li Yibing in its December exhibition named Meditation.
Before his chubby buddies captured the attention of the art hunters, Li Yibing was just one of the hundreds of struggling artists in Song Zhuang, the artists’ enclave outside of Beijing.
Li is ecstatic that his works are being recognised and that his chubby buddies are keeping viewers on cloud nine. He still works diligently forever sharpening his skills in his small studio at the outskirt of the Chinese capital, which is fast becoming one of the world leading centres for contemporary art.
Born in the poorest part of rural Hebei in 1966, Li’s deprived childhood and harsh up-bringing have been urging him to search for peace and to create tranquillity in his works as these two “things” were definitely missing in the early part of his life.
The “Meditation” series, which will be shown at Art Beatus Gallery from December 5 to 22, 2007, unveils Li’s persistent efforts in posing his buddies at their happiest moment, eyes closed, contemplating and always desiring for something pleasurable that is forth-coming.
Li said that with his works he aimed at providing a soft landing zone for the viewers amidst the chaos and conflicts that clustered our social environments these days. To reinforce the visual elements, Li supplemented his imageries with other symbols such as clouds, balloons, boats and umbrellas to strengthen the effects of bringing forth serenity, happiness and safety, surreal yet soothingly comforting.
Art Beatus Gallery’s new exhibition space is located at 35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace).
