Contemporary | Zhao Qi: like works

The Chinese art

Artist: Zhao Qi

zhao qi Born in Jin County, Liaoning Province in 1954
He currently works and lives in Beijing

zhao qi would like to call these paintings on small notebooks works. Therefore, this point is emphasized because according to custom. We often call this type of painting “studio”, or shorthand or something like that. What zhao qi don’t understand is, why can’t sketches and sketches be placed in the exhibition halls of art museums such as Chinese paintings, oil paintings and prints?

Zhao Qi work

Outside of zhao qi understanding of painting, I think the work is a kind of narrative and the painter expresses his ideas through the painting. Although these paintings on small books are not “formal” like the works on display, their essence is still something thoughtful.

These paintings are random, sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, sometimes leaning against where. This way, I can see that when I painted. I must have been moved by the image in front of me. Yes, these images are painted in front of the object, it is not an imagination from nothing. ——This is different from other jobs, right?

——All the works are sent with feelings. suddenly I feel wrong to tell this fact. Because some images are also boring when I hold a pen and first draw carelessly. When painting, the picture looks interesting. Painting is indeed a very magical act, we cannot know where the end of the brush is attached.

Contemporary art usually refers to art that has innovated and subverted existing norms in the fields of oil painting, sculpture, and printmaking since China implemented economic reforms in 1979 and opened to the outside world, including photography. Installation.Concept.Performance. Video. Multimedia and other new art forms . The Chinese art circle regards an art exhibition in 1979 as the beginning of Chinese contemporary art history.

Contemporary | Su Xinping: Art, spend my life

Artist: Su Xinping
Born in Jining City, Inner Mongolia in 1960
Deputy Dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts
Professor, PhD supervisor

Su XinPing Perspective

Su Xin ping was born in Jining, central Inner Mongolia, and now Ulan Qab City. Where the population was only about 30,000 in the 1960s. From today’s perspective, it can only be regarded as a small town, an adobe house, and a few buildings.

In January 1977, I enlisted in the army. The army stipulates that recruits must train in the company for one year, and can only do painting-related work in the second year.

One day after living in the company for half a year, when I was studying to read the newspaper in the evening. I accidentally saw the news about the admissions of the People’s Liberation Army Art Academy . In the newspaper, which caught my attention.

Su xingping Military art

su xin ping decided to apply for the military arts exam, so I went to the leader of the army to talk about my thoughts. I didn’t expect to get the answer that ordinary soldiers can’t apply for the exam. This kind of answer can hardly hit me. At that time, there was only one way for soldiers to enter university, and that was to retire.

Chinese works

After I was discharged from the army, I went to work at Jining City Cultural Center, and I was able to devote all my energy to review. In May, when it was the day of college admissions and registration.

The only professional schools I could choose were the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts and the Department of Fine Arts of Inner Mongolia Normal University.

Inner Mongolia belonged to In the North China region, national regulations did not allow cross-regional examinations at that time.

As for why I chose printmaking artist as a major, I think it may be a problem of understanding, because I have painted a lot of black and white illustrations in the army. I think black and white painting is just a printmaking.

Oversea life

I was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1986. At that time, the academic atmosphere of the Academy of Fine Arts was unparalleled. You can see some clues only from my classmates and colleagues. When I was in school. Yin Jinan and I lived in a dormitory.

However, the selection and conversion process of my major did not go smoothly. My master’s research direction was woodcut.

When I saw the last class of classmates painting stone plates, I was still attracted. For the first time.I saw that it can Painting, and can print very subtle changes. I wanted to try it out, so I secretly borrowed a slate from him.

At the end of the teaching inspection. the teacher in the department saw the lithograph I painted and asked who made it. I was a little nervous about being criticized.

The department leader thought that I was more suitable for professional development in lithograph. and the department decided to transfer me to study at lithograph studio.

Su XinPing Gao ming lu

At the end of 1988, Gao Minglu, the curator of the “Chinese Modern Art Exhibition”, came to the Academy of Fine Arts to select works. When he saw my lithographs. he chose two works and invited me to participate in the exhibition.

Today, it seems that the modern art exhibition is a landmark exhibition in the history of contemporary Chinese art. But su xin ping did not have this awareness at all at the beginning. and even before the opening of the exhibition. Su xin ping went back to my hometown in Inner Mongolia to visit relatives.

Only later did I hear about the grand occasion of the exhibition, and learned that on the opening day of the National Art Museum of China. Almost all participating artists were present. The shooting, the sale of shrimps, the washing of feet, and the incubation of eggs. shocked a series of contemporary art acts that challenge ideology.

Contemporary|Kang Jianfei: reconcile with myself

reconcile with myself

When kang Jian fei was young, kang Jian feiwas looking forward to the New Year. When kang Jian fei grew up, kang Jian fei was really afraid of the New Year. If summarize the reasons for the fear, there will be more. The most core thing think is because of the fear of time. Generally speaking, a pessimist, and there are so many things kang Jian fei can’t figure out. The world in my mind is different. kang Jian fei like wine, and kang Jian Fei like to drink by myself. When kang Jian fei am drunk, kang Jian fei can see the imaginary world more clearly. That is the other me, maybe that is the real me. I’m more and more afraid of drinking with others, afraid that kang Jian fei can’t control my drunk self and hurt others. kang Jian fei always want to gain insight into the secrets of the world, never believe in established rules, and always feel that there is an invisible line connecting the world.

forward to the New Year

When I was young, I was looking forward to the New Year. When I grew up, I was really afraid of the New Year. If I summarize the reasons for the fear, there will be more. The most core thing I think is because of the fear of time. Generally speaking, I am a pessimist, and there are so many things I can’t figure out. The world in my mind is different. I like wine, and I like to drink by myself. When I am drunk, I can see the imaginary world more clearly. That is the other me, maybe that is the real me. I’m more and more afraid of drinking with others, afraid that I can’t control my drunk self and hurt others. always want to gain insight into the secrets of the world, never believe in established rules, and always feel that there is an invisible line connecting the world.

A child

When was a child, there were not many words from teachers who could remember when was in school. One sentence was said by the head teacher. have to break the casserole and ask to the end, so that have adhered to this principle for many years. If you are facing a math problem, it must be right, but it doesn’t seem to be a good way to face life and society. Seeking truth is an attitude, and the method of seeking truth is self-continuous thinking and practice, but don’t touch society with a truth-seeking attitude. It seems too hypocritical. Some problems will not be solved until many years later. Otherwise, let it go, let it go!reconcile with myself.

If life is a stage

If life is a stage, then each of us must become a certain role. When you are watched, you are an actor, and acting is almost your destiny. There is no permanent banquet in the world, and there is no drama that can be performed endlessly. Before time, everything is a temporary. I believe reconcile with myself in determinism and the alternate causality, just like the sun rising east Xiluo is purely natural.

But all people will pursue the meaning of life, especially these sentimental and awkward artists who draw pictures for meaning, put urinals in art museums for meaning, and even peeing is also in pursuit of meaning. Perhaps the most meaningless part for others is the ultimate meaning pursued by the artist. In the face of time, the meaning will be dispelled, will gradually change, and will be reborn into a new meaning. Freud divided me into id, ego, and superego, but whether it is desire, consciousness, or morality, it still revolves around “I”, who am I? Who is me again?

believe in the laws of the world, reconcile with myself,and that the greatest joy in life is inner peace. Therefore, at the end of this year, I choose to reconcile with myself.

Contemporary | Zhang Hui likes Beijing

Dazzling sun

Artist: Zhang Hui

Born in Beijing in 1968

Zhang Hui Graduated from the Mural Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1991
2005 Master of Arts and Design, Minneapolis College of Art and Design
Currently works and lives in Beijing

walk in the surrounding

Living in Beijing, Zhang Hui like to walk in the surrounding mountains. Zhang Hui usually leave at 8 or 9 in the morning, sometimes with a couple of friends, sometimes by myself, driving for one and a half to two hours, and there are some routes around 100 kilometers away.

If it is a four- to five-hour route, Zhang Hui will bring something to eat, such as a steamed bun or a biscuits or bean buns, and sometimes a boiled egg. Generally, there is no salted duck egg, which is salty and oily, which is inconvenient. Be sure to bring something sweet, such as a few pieces of candy, two snacks, or two energy bars.

Bring a 500ml bottle of water on cold days, two bottles on hot days, and three bottles in July and August. There are many hills with an altitude of about one kilometer in Beijing, and the general parking place is about 500 meters.

There are only three mountains of two kilometers, Dongling Mountain 2,303 meters, Haituo Mountain 2,241 meters, and Wuling Mountain 2,118 meters. Outdoor hiking has sunshine, sufficient oxygen, and the atmosphere of trees, flowers, and mountains. It is a process of challenging one’s own limits and relaxing and happy.

In the book “What Do I Talk About When I Talk about Running,” Haruki Murakami describes his daily life, running in the sun, eating grilled fish, drinking beer, writing, and listening to music.

It’s a beautiful day. Zhang Hui also like the ending part of his “Norwegian Forest.” Reiko made a hot pot for Watanabe, and they sang while talking about the guitar. They held a “real” funeral for Naoko and played 51 songs in a row. The soul of Super Naoko is also redeeming himself. After that, they “hugged each other as a matter of course” and then made love.

like Bach’s music

Zhang Hui like Bach’s music, religious sense and divinity. Especially his fugue, the chase and escape of notes entangled and flowed. Zhang Hui like Indian traditional music, which is continuous and coming in a steady stream. Like jazz. Like Mahler, especially his ninth and tenth symphony, eternal, beyond death, suffocating.

Schopenhauer said that we are all slaves of our own will, trapped in the desire for food, sex, money, and control. Art is a possible way to save us from the distorted, boring and painful reality. Art can give us. Transcendence, it has such an energy to help us achieve spiritual escape.

Over the years, Zhang Hui have painted several different series: cities, trees and branches, people, colored stones, clouds, grids. There are many journeys and thoughts behind these paintings. Now it is difficult for me to state clearly the background of these thoughts.

Zheijang hometown

Yuan Yuan born in 1973 in Zhejiang province and studied in the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. Where he gained a graduation in Fine Arts in 1996 and a Master in Fine Arts in 2008. When YuanYuan was studying there, while Chinese society was still very conservative. The Academy was “like a sunroof, always open for us” . And he benefited from a library well stocked with foreign periodicals. Currently lives and works in Hangzhou and Berlin.

His work is heavily influenced by traditional Chinese painting, which she studied when he was a secondary school student. Also, the painter was inspirited by Western artist such as Richard Long (Land Art) and Felix Gonzalez-Torres (Conceptual Art).

YuanYuan subjects are mainly interiors and these are based on real places, with some imaginary elements added. Sometimes he also manipulates architectural details and as a result the scenes . He depicts seem to lie somewhere between reality and illusion. 

All Yuan Yuan’s paintings share a sense of abandonment, offering just a glimpse of their former glory.

The artist said

“Ruins give us a sense of security, they are living spaces without .A sense of pressure so you can do whatever you want. Abandoned places are also public, meaning that you may enter and visit. This is similar to the process of a viewer who is looking at an artwork. I am trying my best to identify the residual traces left behind – not so much what the place has now.But rather what this place used to be for a long time, which no one can take away and cannot be seen. “

Paintings composition are highly structured and orderly, dictated by the geometric details of the   architecture depicted.  what sets Yuan Yuan’s paintings is the incredible detail with which he describes every individual surface within the composition. In particular, She is fascinated by mosaics and patterns of tiles, whether on floors, walls, or lining pools and showers.

He is able to play with an infinite variety of hues within the same color scheme to produce a stunning effect. The atmosphere often feels humid in his paintings, with water in pools or dripping from .the ceiling or decaying walls, and the mood is melancholy. In order to achieve the effect of wet surfaces, he applies several layers of diluted pigment. A classical Chinese painting technique.

At first glance, Yuan Yuan’s paintings seem devoid of any human presence. This is not quite true. She wants to represent people by depicting traces of human activity, which heighten our curiosity. 

Thus, She also conveys a sense of passing time, of transition and history.

Chinese painting

Untitle

His material comes from the flowers and birds in his hometown. The composition of painting is a concrete embodiment of years of experience. For example, the basket series of paintings.
