唐人北京 | 5月10日推出胡伟大型个展“物墟 · 象浑”

当代唐人艺术中心将于2019年5月10日，北京第一空间和第二空间同时呈现艺术家胡伟的个展“物墟 · 象浑”，将展出众多综合材料及装置作品。这是迄今胡伟最大规模的个展，亦是当代唐人艺术中心拓展当代艺术之本土性研究的一次重要实践。

胡伟的艺术创作从中国传统绘画出发，将传统的水墨媒介拓展至综合材料领域，又将技法层面的媒材升格为本体层面的“物性”，最终在当代创作中完成了对中国美学传统的深层次连接。

《书卷》二十一，木质构造，麻纸，麻布，宣纸，矿物 · 植物 · 土质颜料，箔，金属渣 Scroll No. 21, Wooden structure, hemp paper, linen, xuan paper, mineral, plant, and earth pigments, gold and silver powder, metal slag, 180 × 540 cm, 2013

本次展览从“物”与“象”两个层面去认知与论述胡伟的作品：艺术家创造性地使用了诸多材料及物品，如宣纸、水墨、矿物质颜料、金属、陶、木、贝壳、蚕丝、棉、麻等，在将材料转化为语言的过程中，让物的具体属性无穷“延异”。更重要的是，在此过程中，“物性”从具体的物材中浑然而出，成为了一种超越性的精神存在——既是中国古典诗学范畴“雄浑”的当代演绎，更是当代精神的一种东方表达。

展览以“物墟·象浑”为主题，意在概括胡伟的艺术方法，描述他的审美风格，更试图以此为路径探索其作品深层次的丰富精神内涵。

Formless Thingness:

Curator’s Preface for Hu Wei Solo Exhibition

Hu Wei’s art begins with traditional Chinese painting, expanding the traditional medium of ink into mixed media and elevating a technical medium to ontological “thingness.” In the end, he creates deeper links to the Chinese aesthetic tradition within contemporary artistic creation.

《黄山云雾》, 宣纸、墨、矿物、植物颜料、蚕丝  Mists Over Huangshan, Xuan paper, ink, mineral, silk and plant pigments, 136 × 490cm，2015

《黄山云雾》（局部）, 蚕丝、宣纸、墨 Mists Over Huangshan(detail), Xuan paper, ink, silk，2015

In this exhibition, we understand and discuss Hu Wei’s work through things and appearances. The artist creatively uses many materials and objects, such as rice paper, ink, mineral pigments, metal, ceramic,wood, shells, silk, cotton, and hemp… The process of transforming materialsinto language gives the specific properties of things infinite “difference.” More importantly, in this process, “thingness” shifts away from specific materials to become a transcendent spiritual presence. It is a contemporary interpretation of “vigor” from Chinese classical poetry and an Eastern expression of the contemporary spirit. 

《青绿山水》, 木质构造、大漆、陶土、矿物·植物·土质颜料 、金银粉、金属渣  Blueand Green Landscape, Wooden structure, lacquer, clay, mineral, plant,and earth pigments, gold and silver powder, metal slag, 60 x 540 x 30cm, 2016

We named the exhibition “Formless Thingness” to encapsulate Hu Wei’s artistic methods and describe his aestheticstyle, but we were also attempting to use this as a way to explore the richspiritual content of the deeper levels in his works.
