Ding Xiaozhen Work 丁小真作品

对于许多艺术家而言，纸张就像是创作过程中的一个中转站而非目的地，纸上的创作不过是草稿而非最终作品。在新材料、新技术日新月异的当代社会，“纸本”似乎已经成为一个陈旧得难于启齿的概念。然而任何有才能的艺术家都不会让媒介与材料成为束缚创造力的桎梏，相反的，他们可以用自己的想象力让最为简单的材料和最为传统的技法焕发出时代的活力。

He Saibang Work 何赛邦作品

周围艺术很荣幸地为观众们带来《纸上：群展》，呈现十一位来自不同国籍与背景的艺术家最新创作的一批纸本作品。

这些艺术家中有坚守中国传统水墨技法并不断探求新路的丁小真，也有在东西方艺术审美之间自由行走的旅美艺术家蒋奇谷；有周豪的抽象拼贴作品，史新骥的水彩作品古意十足；

Shi Xinji Work 史新骥作品

还有瑞士艺术家阿洛伊斯·利希斯坦纳介于抽象与具象之间的风景作品和海派艺术家何塞邦融文人画笔墨游戏与观念艺术于一体的独特作品。

Alois Lichtsteiner Work 阿洛伊斯·利希斯坦纳作品

旅居柏林的季大纯和另一位瑞士艺术家乔治·斯坦因曼在作品中都选用了非常规的材料——报纸与蓝莓汁——仿佛在向惯用另类材料入画的德国艺术家西格玛·波尔克致以敬意；荷兰艺术家克拉斯·赫伯斯造型稚拙、语言朴素的版画轻而易举地就打动了不同时空的观众；他选用的饱和度较高的色彩也为整个展览添上一抹亮色。

Klaas Gubbels Work 克拉斯·赫伯斯作品

另两位女性艺术家，毛宇佳和付小桐也把各自内心最柔软的部分呈现在纸上。

《纸上》的每一位艺术家都自成一个乐章，汇合在一起恰如最近再度掀起高潮的皇后乐队名曲《波西米亚狂想曲》，并没有因为一首歌中集中了流行、摇滚、歌剧等元素而显得生硬突兀，反而因为互相之间的对话与交流让原本单薄的纸本作品因为有了宽广的语境而立意丰厚起来。

Mao Yujia Work 毛宇佳作品

十一位艺术家积极地拥抱了纸张的传承，结合当代艺术的技法与理论，在有限的纸面上以无限自由的创造力创作出面貌多样的作品，他们的作品向观众宣告：纸上，一切皆有可能。

Fu Xiaotong Work 付小桐作品

For many artists, paper is not a destination but a midway during the journey of making art; works on paper are not final products but sketches or drafts. Today, when new materials or new techniques are constantly evolving, the idea of “on paper” seems to be embarrassingly out of fashion. Nevertheless, no talented artists will let media or materials limit their creativity, on the contrary, with their imagination, they tirelessly reinvent the simplest material and the most conventional techniques, revitalizing them with zeitgeist.

Ji Dachun Work 季大纯作品

AroundSpace Gallery is proud to present All on Paper, A Group Show that showcases the recent works on paper by 11 artists from different nationalities and backgrounds.

The artists in this exhibition include Ding Xiaozhen, who never stops experimenting with new techniques when following the tradition of Chinese ink painting; Jiang Qigu, a Chinese American artist who navigates freely in between Eastern and Western aesthetics;

Zhou Hao Work 周豪作品

Zhou Hao, who makes abstract collages works. Swiss artist Alois Lichtsteiner's landscape works are blurring the borders of abstract and figurative art; and Shanghai artist He Saibang created unique works that put literati painting's brushstrokes and conceptual art's ideas in one.

George Steinmann work 乔治·斯坦因曼作品

Berlin-based Ji Dachun and another Swiss artist in the show, George Steinmann, both incorporated unconventional materials in their drawings: newspaper and blueberry juice, which seem to pay homage to a German artist, Sigmar Polke, who is known for his choice of alternative materials. Dutch artist Klass Gubbels used elegant and simple contours and shapes in his woodblock prints, which successfully reached audiences from different backgrounds. His high-saturated colors are the highlights of the entire show.

Jiang Qigu Work 蒋奇谷作品

Every artist in All on Paper is an independent chapter, yet together they form a piece that reminds me of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, a song that conflates various music elements including pop, rock-n-roll and opera, so seamlessly that one can hardly notice the transitions. Their thin pieces of works on paper become visually enriched and culturally in-depth thanks to the dynamic contexts created by the juxtaposition and dialogues they bring together.

Embracing the legacy of paper, while adopting contemporary art techniques and theories, these 11 artists created a body of work on paper with unlimited freedom and exuberant creativity. Their art makes a manifesto: everything is possible, all on paper.
