刘庆和红门画廊新作展
北京5月2日,艺术家刘庆和用他独特的符号解释他的新作品-使用表达方式的传统核心来汇合当代的议题。
在刘庆和对待当代的议题上,他坚持使用传统国画的原理,并使他拥有与其他艺术家的不同之处。
新作品名为宝贝,主要关注城中成长的孩子和乡村中的孩子的不同。
它涉及到了自然,人生而有之的原始状态,“什么是婴幼儿期与童年期的真实意义”,社会的压力影响到了成长中的孩子。
这个主题有双重含义:一是作为孩子的宝贝,另一个则是对于恋人的爱称。
一些孩子被诱惑着、鼓励着、强迫着去快速成长,而没有办法去体验从儿童成长为成人的自然过渡期。
众所周知,刘庆和以刻画里程碑似的、孤独的人物形象和如传统山水画似的描绘他们的躯体,这个影响经常是令人不安的、像存在主义和有着强烈的心理因素。
展览开幕式在红门画廊东便门角楼-6月14日周六到7月13日。
LIU QINGHE UNVEILS NEW WORK AT RED GATE
Beijing May 2 - Artist Liu Qinghe explores new subject in his signature style – employing traditional principles of expressing ideas using contemporary subject matter.
Liu's adherence to guo hua principles in his approach to contemporary subject matter has set him apart from other contemporary artists.
The new work titled Baby, draws on the differences between the development of young children in a city environment as opposed to rural China.
It references notions of ‘naturalness’; ‘what babyhood and childhood mean’; ‘societal forces which impact on the developing child’.
The title is a double entendre – ‘baby’ as baby and ‘baby’ as a term of endearment for a lover.
Some children are enticed, encouraged, forced to grow up too quickly – without being able to experience the natural development from childhood to adulthood.
Liu Qinghe is best known for creating monumental, solitary human figures and treating their flesh in the manner of a traditional landscape. The effect is often unsettling, existentialist and psychologically intense.
The exhibition opens at the Red Gate Gallery – Watchtower on Saturday 14 June and runs through until 13 July.
