The Endless Glimmers of Hope 无尽珠, XIAO Xu 肖旭, 2018. Ink on paper 纸本水墨, 84 × 60 cm
东画廊很高兴宣布2023年3月11日，将呈现由策展人孙文杰所策划的展览“微物之神”。“微物之神”其中的作品通过绘画、装置、影像和刺绣等不同媒介，带来了马漓澧、覃小诗、田琦 、项恺阳、肖旭、赵谦这六位艺术家的新近创作。Don Gallery is pleased to announce that on March 11, 2023, it will present the exhibition "The Gods of Small Things" curated by SUN Wenjie. "The Gods of Small Things" will include the latest work of six artists: MA Lili, QIN Xiaoshi, TIAN Qi, XIANG Kaiyang, XIAO Xu and ZHAO Qian. Media featured in this exhibition include painting, installation, video, and embroidery.
0-1, QIN Xiaoshi 覃小诗, 2022. Low-firing digital printed ceramics panel 数码微喷陶板画, 70 × 47 cm, 5Ed+1AP展览的作品扎根于日常的美学体验。艺术家们或越过屏幕分镜呈现动态的自然相交互；或创造“幻想-奇怪/神奇”般的生物穿插在内与外的展厅；或令观众在现实与失真场景中切换，从而凸显情境的非凡；或以书写追问生活的真实面貌；或通过刺绣再现传统神像；或者以装置的形式引导观众与华南海盗的传说再相遇。
The works on show are rooted in the everyday aesthetic experience. The artists transcend the screen to mirror natural interactions, intersperse strange fantasy creatures throughout the exhibition space, highlight the extraordinary by taking the audience’s perception back and forth between scenes of reality and distortion, pursue life’s truths through the written word, reproduce traditional gods through embroidery, or use installation to bring viewers back to the legendary tales of the Pirates of the South China Coast.
Matrix No.6 基体 No.6, MA Lili 马漓澧, 2023. Acrylic on canvas 布面丙烯, 100 × 120 cmJupiter 岁星神/木星神, TIAN Qi 田琦, 2022. Mixed media on canvas 布面综合材料, 31.5 × 40 cm艺术家们的作品彼此呼应，呈现了现实世界与神话、民俗、幻想或者虚拟生物之间的共存状态。神话与民俗传说中的人物能够持续在创作中被引申，也因为神灵已然是以数字生命的形式存在，例如“封神榜”堪称中国历史上最大规模的一次数字生命上传活动。这些作品呈现的一些情境，不啻于是对传统——文化的一个断面的激活。尽管我们身处的现实世界仍然建立在工具理性的基础上，这种并存的虚实之间的暧昧关联，对人类社会的法则是否固若金汤提出了质疑。
The artists’ works echo each other, bringing reality into coexistence with myth, folklore, fantasy, and fictitious creatures. Through creation, figures from myth and folklore are given new life, but this is also because some gods already live on in digital life. For example, Investiture of the Gods (Fengsheng Bang) is hailed as the largest upload of digital life in Chinese history. Some of the situations presented in the artists’ work are no less an activation of a cross-section of traditional culture. Though the world we live in is still based on instrumental reality, the ambiguous relationship arising from the coexistence of fiction and reality raises doubts about the solidity of the laws that govern human society.
Who 谁, XIANG Kaiyang 项恺阳, 2022. Watercolor on board 木板⽔彩, 160 × 128 cm“微物之神”以微距视角观察艺术家的创造，这些实践也如露珠般凝聚并折射着我们的生活面貌。植物、水流、涌动的人群与风的形状……过去我们称之为日常的一切都被卷入混乱的漩涡中，在停滞之后重新涌进我们的世界里来。在与这座城市共同经历了大流行那段时光之后，我们还能在个人生活中，在微小的日常中找到恒久、安心与托付感吗？是的，这里不见那些宏大的事物，满是琐屑的，貌似无用的小东西。或者说人们能够谈论的只是细小的事情，那未能提及的，尽在不言中。
"The Gods of Small Things" presents a macro view of the artist's imagination; like dewdrops, these works also condense and refract our lives. Plants, currents, surging crowds, the shape of the wind…everything that we call “the everyday” is drawn into a vortex of chaos to re-emerge after a period of stasis. After living through the pandemic in this city together, are we still able to find constancy, reassurance, and trust in our personal lives and in the minutiae of the everyday? True, nothing here is on a grand scale. The exhibition space is filled with trivial, seemingly pointless and small things. Or rather, only the small things remain for us to speak of, and everything that cannot be said is found in silence.

马漓澧（b.1988）出生于中国重庆市，2015年硕士毕业于伦敦艺术大学，2012年本科毕业于中央美术学院油画系，2008年毕业于中央美院附中并保送中央美术学院，现工作生活于北京，并任教于四川美术学院。其作品受到人本主义地理学与东方哲学的影响，探索人的感知与自然的交互关系、永恒与瞬间的时空议题，作品中的主要元素提取自生活周边及从社交媒体采集的自然物讯息，传递出神圣气息与冥想氛围。她试图借此在后疫情时代国际社会日益充满矛盾、斗争、恐慌的当下发掘人类文化与潜意识中更多共性、连接的部分。MA Lili (b. 1988) was born in Chongqing, China. In 2008, MA graduated from the High School Attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and was recommended to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. There, she graduated from the Oil Painting Department in 2012, and went on to obtain a master’s degree from the University of the Arts, London in 2015. MA currently resides in Beijing and teaches at the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. Her work is influenced by humanistic geography and Eastern philosophy, and explores the interactive relationship between human perception and nature, as well as the topic of space and time found between eternity and an instant. The main elements of the artist’s work, which exude a sacred and meditative ambiance, are extracted from life’s surroundings and natural objects collected from social media. Using these, MA attempts to excavate commonalities and connections between human culture and the subconsciousness in a post-pandemic era filled with contradiction, struggle, and fear on an international scale.

The stories she collected are mostly about local legends, history, Southern China pirates, and their treasures hidden around the Pearl River Delta.Her previous works include topics such as predicting the future through debate, sonic weapons, and doomsday preppers.

田琦 (b.1987年)，毕业于中央美术学院版画系，现工作并生活于北京。2020年之前的艺术实践主要围绕突破“小镇青年”式的日常个人身份带来的的庸常感受，沉迷于“福柯’式的对于体验的极端迷恋。扩展身份的方式包括担任美术指导参加电影拍摄，参与行为艺术工作坊，以艺术家的身份将科幻、耽美，与奇点临近的人的存在状态与日常生活的矛盾统一以综合材料的方式再现于平面绘画和写作中。2020年开始以大学教师的身份从事审美通识教育的普及，并且把这种普及方式带入到各类社会活动的实践中。TIAN Qi (b. 1987) graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and currently lives and works in Beijing. Prior to 2020, TIAN’s art practice mainly revolved around attempting to break through the personal feeling of mediocrity brought on by his identity as a young person from a small town. TIAN says he indulged in a “Foucauldian” style of extreme obsession with experience. Such experiences included working as an art director in film shoots and participating in performance art workshops. As an artist, TIAN is influenced by the lives of singular individuals along with science fiction and boys love comics. He combines these influences with the contradictions of daily life into his paintings and writing. In 2020, he began to promote general aesthetic education as a university professor, and brought his methods into practice through a wide range of social activities.

项恺阳（b.1991）现于北京生活，工作。2015年本科毕业于伦敦金史密斯学院，2020年硕士毕业于中央美术学院油画系第五工作室。项恺阳的创作形式是基于“文字”和“绘画”相结合的。他在学生时期主要的兴趣是集中在中文诗歌的创作，并在研究生阶段开始创作文字和语言为主题的艺术创作。他将中文的语词、句群、诗歌与文本作为主体，直接或间接地用绘画的方式呈现在画面里。这些中文字符所扮演的角色如何有效地，准确地以视觉形式转化到图像中是他研究的主要问题。XIANG Kaiyang (b. 1991) currently lives and works in Beijing. In 2015, he graduated from the Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, and in 2020, he obtained a master’s degree from the Oil Painting Department’s Fifth Studio at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. XIANG’s work merges “text” and “painting.” As a student, he focused on writing Chinese poetry, and later went on to create work centered around writing and language during his graduate studies. XIANG takes Chinese words, sentence groups, poems, and text as the subject of his work, and directly or indirectly presents these through painting. His research revolves around how to effectively and accurately transform the roles played by Chinese characters into the visual format of images.
肖旭 XIAO Xu

肖旭（b.1983）出生于重庆，毕业于四川美术学院中国画系，分别于2007年获得学士学位、2010年获得硕士学位。现生活和工作在北京。肖旭的创作在对中国水墨画传统的探索和解构中，深入到历史和文化的维度，创造出一个模糊历史与当下、真实与虚构的诗意秘境。来自文学、艺术史、电影和戏剧的灵光点染于画面之上，魔幻现实主义的叙事方式和戏剧的空间美学将观者层层引入黑暗的色彩世界，在这个艺术家所构建的谜一般的幽暗而静谧的时空中，仿佛又充斥着隐性和危机四伏的张力，映射出个体在当下社会的复杂遭际、体验与思辨。XIAO Xu (b. 1983) was born in Chongqing, and obtained a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the Chinese Painting Department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2007 and 2010 respectively. He now lives and works in Beijing. XIAO’s work explores and deconstructs the tradition of Chinese ink painting. He dives into the dimensions of history and culture to create a space of poetic mystery which blurs history and the present, reality and fiction. The artist takes inspiration from literature, art history, film, and theater, and uses magical realism and the spatial aesthetics of theater to draw viewers into a dark world of colors, layer by layer. The artist’s enigmatic dimension of dark and quiet seems rife with hidden, dangerous tensions. Here, the viewer experiences the complex encounters, experiences, and speculations of an individual living in our current society.
