蔡泽滨：夜游 Cai Zebin: Night Strolls日期 Duration: 2022.11.03 - 06地址 Venue: 意大利都灵 Lingotto Fiere Torino, Italy展位 Booth: Hall Brown, Booth 4
胶囊上海荣幸宣布将于2022年都灵当代艺术博览会Artissima中呈现艺术家蔡泽滨在意大利的首次展览 “夜游”，该项目由玛瑙（Manuela Lietti）策展。蔡泽滨（1988年生于中国广东汕头，现生活工作于汕头）以其独特的绘画语言著称。他怀着漫步城市街巷般的轻松姿态和无尽好奇穿行于艺术史之中，在潜入历代大师的创作中汲取灵感的同时，制造新的路径、记忆和视觉日记。
Cai Zebin: Night Strolls 蔡泽滨：夜游 | Installation view at Artissima 都灵当代艺术博览会展览现场 | 2022一个漫游者的行迹可以映射出他对于城市和人类光景的理性认知和感性回应，蔡泽滨以新的绘画语言对超现实人物形象进行的转译则既反映了其原创性，又流露出他深植于东西方的传统中的根源。一方面，他的方法论承袭了东方的传统，他通过效仿自己所敬仰的古人来获得灵感和构建意义，从内部研习绘画技巧，实现传达感受、营造氛围的最终目的。另一方面，他对西方绘画大师——尤其是亨利·卢梭（Henri Rousseau）和维克多·布劳纳（Victor Brauner）等超现实主义艺术家——的致敬在画面中比比皆是。

《微光》，本次展出的三件大幅绘画之一，便是对维克多·布劳纳的自画像《超现实主义》（The Surrealist）和雷内·马格利特（René Magritte）的《哲学家的灯》（Philosopher’s Lamp）的公开致敬。前者通过画面中共有的“道具”刀剑、圣杯和金币可见一斑，后者则在蛇形蜡烛的蜿蜒形态中得到呼应。展览中另一作品《午夜困惑》让人想起亨利·卢梭的《沉睡的吉普赛人》（The Sleeping Gypsy）。在这里，蔡泽滨将女性人物刻画成一个由南瓜组成的塑像般的“反女神”形象， 其可塑可变的潜质呼应了近旁的猫（代替了卢梭画中的狮子）和周边环境中的种种元素。
蔡泽滨的绘画是一串行云流水的思绪，对艺术大师和他自己的作品的指涉在视觉的意识流中相互穿插。这在大幅绘画《自画像》中有突出的体现。这件作品囊括了蜡烛、面膜、拟人化的画架和调色盘等在蔡泽滨近期作品中反复出现的意象。尺幅较小的《画家肖像》是该系列中最新的作品，画面中色彩和形态肆意张扬，在艺术家过往两个个展“防守”和“拉瓦尔”的同名画册旁，画笔的刷毛几乎像指尖玩偶或是海葵一般摇曳起舞，向观者招手问候。

该系列作品的共性和多样性在绘画《奇美拉》（与蔡泽滨最新的艺术家书同名）中得到沉淀。在城市图景的映衬下，前景中一个长着大理石般雪白手臂和花朵形头颅的生物主导了画面。这个混合体或许暗示了艺术家对自身和作品的感受，即在超现实的蜕变和进化中永不停息。
然而，这组夜幕下的场景所揭示的远不止于蔡泽滨对某段艺术史的痴迷。作品富有电影感的戏剧张力将观者投射到另一时空，这里时间流转的速度有别于现实，不仅是由于作品所唤起的时代，更是因为艺术家所营造的悬念和缓慢的氛围与我们所身处的时代的狂热形成了鲜明的反差。

Capsule Shanghai is pleased to announce Night Strolls, Cai Zebin’s debut in Italy at Artissima 2022, curated by Manuela Lietti. Widely known for his peculiar painterly language, Cai Zebin (b. 1988, Guangdong province, China, where he currently lives and works) walks through the history of art with the same ease and sense of never-ending wonder as a flaneur walking in the city. He indulges in the inspiration that the masters and art history provide while creating new paths, memories, and visual diaries in a playful yet acculturated way.
While the detours of a flaneur, when taken together, form a unique route that reveals his analytical yet sentimental knowledge of the urban and human landscape, Cai translates the surreal syncretism of his iconography through a new painterly language that is original yet well-rooted in both the Eastern and Western traditions. On the one hand, Cai’s methodology - inherited from Chinese tradition - consists of gaining inspiration and creating meaning from copying the masters he reveres. In this way, he learns a painting technique from the inside and grasps a feeling, an atmosphere — Cai’s ultimate goal. On the other hand, his admiration for various Western masters, especially the Surrealists but spanning artists from Henri Rousseau to Victor Brauner, is visible in the visual reminders that pop up in his paintings.左滑查看更多 Swipe left for more imagesCai Zebin 蔡泽滨 | Confusion at Midnight #2 午夜困惑 #2, | 2022 | acrylic on canvas 布面丙烯 | 175 x 215 cmGlimmer, one of the three large-scale paintings on view, is an open homage to both Victor Brauner’s self-portrait The Surrealist and René Magritte’s Philosopher’s Lamp. The former is invoked by the presence of the same ‘props’ - a knife, a goblet, and gold coins – and the latter is recalled in the fluid lines of the snake-like candle. Confusion at Midnight conjures Henri Rousseau’s The Sleeping Gypsy. Here, Cai transforms the female figure into an almost sculptural ‘anti-goddess’ made of pumpkins whose plasticity echoes the sinuous lines of the cat that replaces the original lion and dialogues with all the other elements in the surrounding environment.
Cai Zebin 蔡泽滨 | Self-portrait 自画像 | 2022 | acrylic on canvas 布面丙烯 | 175 x 215 cmCai Zebin’s paintings are a continuous chain of musings in which quotations from both artistic masters and his own work co-exist and overlap in a visual stream of consciousness. The large-scale canvas Self-Portrait epitomises this tendency; it is a visual compendium of the artist’s recurrent motifs: the candle, the facial mask, and the anthropomorphic paint box and palette ‘dressed’ like other similar figures in this body of work. The smaller-scale Portrait of the Painter, the most recent in this series, is a riot of colours and shapes. Next to books entitled The Defense and Laval, after two of Cai’s past solo presentations, the bristles of the brushes almost dance and greet the audience like finger puppets or sea anemones.

Chimera - also the title of Cai’s most recent artist’s book - complements this cohesive yet diverse body of work. A creature with marble-white arms and a flower head dominates the foreground in an urban landscape. This hybrid being may represent the way the artist feels about himself and his work, caught in a continuous process of surreal metamorphosis and evolution.However, these new nocturnal scenes disclose much more than Cai Zebin’s fascination with a certain repertoire of art history. Thanks to their highly cinematographic appeal, they project the viewer into a new spatial and temporal dimension, where time moves forward at a different pace, not just because of the epoch they evoke, but because of the feeling of suspension and slowness that he wants to convey, as a contrast to the frenzy of our times.Installation views by Graysc
