艺术之所以吸引人，是因为它不断地创造与演进。
熊宇将于12月18日在偏锋新艺术空间推出个展“Angel in City”。这是继2006年个展“安静的流逝”、2008年“塔罗”之后的第三次重要展览。在过去的四年中，熊宇从一个懵懂青春少年逐渐成长为备受期待的重要的青年艺术家。熊宇对绘画的认识和创作越发宽容和自由。极具代表性的熊宇式大眼睛，传递出青春的迷茫、对自由的向往，偶有怅然神色，却透出宁静而深邃的神情。因而被视作熊宇艺术历程中日臻成熟的佳境之作。
在此次展览中，熊宇赋予每个“熊宇式人物”以不同角色：光之索引者、工作者、炼钢者、工匠等等。延续作品《塔罗》对精神世界的探索，人物在聚光灯般光线下烘托出一种趋向内心的氛围。其关注点更是从对个人情绪的关照扩展到对社会群体的思考。每个人都有理想的翅膀，他们扮演不同角色在暗夜中舞蹈。这不但是浪漫的想象，也是对现实里未能达到理想的向往。画中人物眼中流淌着安静与哀伤，景致在他的笔下被赋予了神秘而深邃的美。作品成为储藏理想的方式，让每位观者为似曾相识的身影感动，折射了当代年轻人心灵深层的氛围，也是对青春难以追回的怅然。
时值圣诞节期间，偏锋展厅将以特别“装扮”配合熊宇，上演剧情版展览“Angel in City”。此次展览将于2月10日结束。
Dramatic Exhibition “Angel in City” Presented in PIFO
Art is so attractive for its constantly creation and evolution.
Xiong Yu’s Solo Exhibition “Angel in City” will be exhibited in PIFO New Art Gallery on December 18th, 2009. It is the third important solo exhibition after “Running on Tranquilly” in the year of 2006 and “Tarot” in the year of 2008. In the past four years, Xiong Yu from an ignorant young adolescent gradually became an expected and important young artist. And his understanding and creation becomes more and more tolerative and free. Among all his works, his representative style “Big Eyes” begins to change into the confusion of youth and the yearning for freedom gradually. Although there is disappointed expression in it, there is also quiet and profound expression. Therefore, works in this period are regarded as the pleasant and mature works in his art experiences.
In this exhibition, Xiong Yu gives each character which is Xiong Yu style a different role such as Index Man of Light, Worker, Steel-making Worker and Craftsman, etc. Continue the exploration in Spiritual World of his work “Tarot”, characters show an inner atmosphere under the beams of spotlights. Its focus from the personal emotion becomes the consideration towards social communities. Everyone has ideal wings and they play a different role dancing in the dark night. This is not only the romantic imagination but also the yearning for ideal unreached in the reality. There is tranquilly and grief in the character’s eyes, meanwhile, scenery is given a mysterious and profound beauty under his painting. Works become a way to store ideality, let each visitor move in the familiar shadow and refract the atmosphere in the deep heart of the contemporary young people. This is also a disappointment for unrecovering youth.
Christmastime, PIFO New Art Gallery will make a special “dress up” with Xiong Yu and present a Dramatic Exhibition “Angel in City”. This exhibition will end on Feb. 10th, 2010.
