Vanguard 画廊将于 2023 巴塞尔艺术展香港展会 3D20 展位呈现廖斐个人项目,将展出一系列全新创作的雕塑作品及代表性的纸本创作,通过对各类具体之物的抽象推演使得物的某些无法直观的属性得以显现。
Vanguard Gallery is delighted to participate in Art Basel Hong Kong 2023, at booth 3D20, with a solo presentation of Liao Fei’s recent bodies of works, including a new series of sculptures and his signature paper-based works. This latest project will revolve around the artist's signature research on everyday materials that could be interpreted as portals into the world of metaphysics.

项目由三个独立但相互关联的部分组成。作为艺术家最新的雕塑系列,“手征空间”(2021年-)通过一系列形式实验,在精神与科学领域的交集处探索人类手势的观念意义。在佛教造像中,各异的手的姿态被称作“手印”,用来象征特定的教义或理念,或在宗教仪式中起到某种形而上的作用。手也被应用于探索现代科学,比如以自旋或者螺旋度描述的粒子的“手征性”。无论在意识领域还是在微观世界,手都促进了人类对远超自身维度的存在的理解。廖斐因此以“手征性”为契机,借鉴物质在微观世界中构成的规则做出空间推演,以探索 “手”作为日常材料在抽象状态下的指向性。
The project consists of three distinct but intertwined parts. ‘Chiral Extent’ (2021-), the artist’s newly premiered sculpture series, is a formal experiment inspired by gestural communication both in the spiritual realm and among scientific research: in Buddhist art and practice, a variety of hand gestures termed 'mudra' are employed to convey specific ritual connotations; while in modern science, handedness, denominated as 'chirality', defines an asymmetrical object which cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In either case, the use of hands has facilitated human conception of existences far beyond cognition. Liao Fei demonstrates his conceptual principle by showcasing variations of hand constructions following a deductive sequence, unveiling metaphysical temperament contained in everyday materials.

“交集物”系列(2021年-)继续探索精神世界与日常生活的交集。该系列将例如“太空”“因果”等源自佛教经典的词语中心对齐叠加在一起,标记出它们叠加的区域。“局部被遮蔽的圆”系列(2021年-)则参考物质在微观层面的构成规则,将九张同等大小的方形纸片以单位圆产生的空间结构进行推演,在折纸的过程中,圆于二维与三维的状态中转化,并最终以局部被遮蔽的二维形态呈现出来。无论是汉字图形的并置与交合,还是基础几何图形的排列组合,廖斐在作品中构造了出人意料的抽象图案,令人联想起寺庙或洞窟中各类难以言状却暗含神启的宗教遗迹。
The intersection of spiritual ideas and everyday life continues in 'Intersection' (2021-). Works in this series extract overlapped areas of Chinese characters in set phrases, such as 'yīn guǒ' ('karma') or 'tài kōng' ('akasa'), which derived from the Buddhist lexicon and has become common expressions in sinophonic cultures. Along with this series are origami pieces titled 'Partially Obscured Circles' (2021-), where 9 identical square sheets of paper with silver acrylic circles are folded and rotated according to microscopic combination rules. Through the dimension-transforming folding process, an abstract pattern becomes apparent, suggesting a divine revelation. Liao manages to manifest intricate shapes out of mere geometric elements which resembles inexplicable or spiritual relics found on various religious sites.

这一系列作品源自廖斐近期对佛教器物及仪式的考察与研究,结合他长期以来基于物质本身的实践,以客观理性的方式揭示出日常材料中蕴含的形而上气质。字符、几何图形与手印作为平常的具体之物,却留存着人类对以自身为标尺去理解不可思议之世界的想象。
This recent series of works showcases Liao Fei's latest investigation on Buddhist objects and rituals. His works continue with his long-term practice based on the substance of material, informed by various schools of scientific and mathematical thinking that intend to overcome subjectivity and relativity. Words, geometric shapes, and religious rituals, as ordinary and concrete as they might seem, are proof of the human being’s never-ending effort in envisaging a world beyond the horizon or within ourselves.
