蜂巢当代艺术中心荣幸地宣布，将于11月8日至12月12日以蜂巢生成上海空间呈现在伦敦工作与生活的泰裔艺术家詹姆斯·帕派彤（James Prapaithong）的亚洲首次个展：“喃喃/ Whisper”。展览由策展人唐一菲策划，将呈现艺术家最新创作的系列布面油画作品。

詹姆斯·帕派彤的绘画始终试图捡拾消逝的记忆中可以称为永恒的时刻，这些时刻通常是细微却闪烁着感性光芒的定格瞬间。他所执着勾勒的自然景观——太阳、星月、树木、水等都是可触可感知的信仰般的存在，詹姆斯最具安全感的内心空间借由这些在绘画中作为经典趣味的元素进行外部显化，细腻的笔触将情绪生长于描摹的景观。这时的绘画空间成为一个通道，可以数次折返于人生经验中曾经存在过的或被遗忘的角落，指涉的更为抽离的远方其实是一种返航，每一束画面上的光都透过层层喧嚣从过去笃定地穿梭而来。

展览“喃喃（Whisper）”以夜幕作为底色，呈现一组艺术家最新创作的由天色将晚链接到宇宙纵深的散文式的绘画。“喃喃”作为不同于视觉的感官逻辑，引申的是一种更为低频节奏的个人诉说，以多重感知唤起共情。由一扇可以远眺的窗开始，詹姆斯的视角逐渐飞离落地的“家”，拨开云雾靠近月亮和浪漫的宇宙想象。这种心理空间影射的外部景观是以个人化的浪漫想象搭建的异质空间（third space）的叙述场域——在想象的宇宙和真实的景观差异之间的第三种可能。它捕捉了真实的个体记忆和经验，却以艺术家真诚细腻的笔触张开了更为广阔的开放性和流动性。蓝调一直是詹姆斯乐于使用并且进行不同叠加产生变化的颜色，不同时间段的天空皆由不同程度的蓝构成；画面中刻画的不同形态的星月——散开或聚拢的月亮，遥远或逼近的光晕都产生了微妙的能量转化和强弱流动。这些既微观又宏观的视角使观者得以感性地将自身置入慢节奏的时间中，可能变为这些无人之境中的一粒星尘。

Hive Center for Contemporary Art is thrilled to announce the first solo exhibition in Asia of James Prapaithong, a Thai artist who lives and works in London. The exhibition, “Hive Becoming XLVI James Prapaithong: Whisper”, will be on view at the Hive Becoming space in Shanghai. This show is curated by Tang Yifei and will feature the artist’s most recent series of works on canvas.

James Prapaithong’s paintings constantly attempt to retrieve, from fading memories, what might be considered eternal moments, those often subtle yet fixed moments of shimmering sensuality. The natural landscapes he obsessively encapsulates - the sun, the stars, the moon, the trees, the water, etc. - are all tangible and perceptible existences of faith; James’s most secure inner space is externally manifested through these elements, classically referenced in painting, as his delicate brushstrokes embody sentiments in the landscapes depicted. Here, the extent of painting becomes a channel that allows repeated retreats to the once-existing or forgotten places of life, in which the more detached remoteness is, in fact, something of a homecoming, and where every beam of light on canvas passes through layers of clamour and emerges from the past with certainty.

The exhibition “Whisper” presents a series of recent essayistic paintings by the artist that explore the depths of the cosmos from the colour of eventide against the backdrop of the hours of darkness. Different from the visual logic of senses, “whisper” elicits a more low-frequency rhythm of self-talk, evoking empathy through multiple perceptions. Beginning with a window that provides a distant view, James’s perspective gradually departs from the ‘home’ on the ground and approaches the moon and the romantic fantasy of the universe through the clouds. The external landscape insinuated in this psychological context is a narrative field of third space established by individual romantic imagination - a third possibility after the difference between the imaginary universe and the real landscape. It captures authentic personal memories and experiences while expanding the openness and fluidity with the artist’s earnest and delicate brushstrokes. Shades of blue have always been James’s favourite to work with and layer to create different variations, as the sky is composed of varying degrees of blue throughout the day and night. The various stages of the stars and moon in the work - dispersed or gathered moons, remote or intimate halos - all create a nuanced flow of energy. These simultaneously micro and macro perspectives allow the viewer to sensually place themselves in the slow pace of time, possibly becoming a speck of stardust in these no man's land.

关于艺术家

詹姆斯·帕派彤 | James Prapaithong

詹姆斯·帕派彤（1996年生于泰国，现工作及生活于伦敦）。2019年于温布尔登艺术学院获得荣誉学士学位，2022年于伦敦皇家艺术学院获绘画硕士学位。詹姆斯的画作让人联想起记忆中的日常瞬间，以及蕴藏其中的挥之不去的情感。这些画作旨在让人回想起生活中的珍贵时光，而这些时光可能是此前经历之后遗忘的。水、月亮和星星等自然世界中常见的浪漫元素成为詹姆斯作品的重要组成部分，这些元素既是在画面中探索光影变化的美学探索，也是对怀旧、理想以及对共同经验和建立真正共鸣的需求的视觉隐喻。

Born in Thailand, 1996, James Prapaithong is an artist currently living and working in London. He graduated from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2019 and received his master degree in painting at the Royal College of Art in 2022. James’ paintings are reminiscent of everyday moments in our memories and the lingering sentiment that lies within. They are intended to create flashbacks and remind us of precious time in our lives that we may have forgotten once we have moved on. Commonly romanticised elements of the natural world such as water, the moon and the stars, become an essential part of James’s oeuvre, used as both aesthetic devices to explore light within the picture, and as visual metaphors for nostalgia, yearning and a need for shared experience and true connection.
