胶囊上海在纽约弗里兹艺术博览会的Focus单元呈现中国艺术家陶斯祺（1994年生于中国武汉）的个展“着魔”，呈现艺术家基于她对法国诗人查尔斯·波德莱尔（1821-1867）的诗集《恶之花》的感悟最新创作的绘画作品。

波德莱尔的诗歌通过描绘痴狂、病态、痛苦和纯真的丧失等主题发掘恶之美，折射出人类生存体验的复杂性。陶斯祺近几年的绘画创作同样关注亲密关系、依赖、暴力和毁灭，对人类的各色情感和欲望进行一视同仁的审视。她对俗世认知中的原罪和堕落作出了富有共情心的刻画，挑战了善恶的既有认知，将禁忌重新定义为折射我们身心体验的棱镜。

陶斯祺用一如既往的细腻笔触和特写视角捕捉柔情的残暴瞬间。主导画面的荧光饱和色调是她近期作品的特征，这种色彩使画面超脱于现实主义的写实表现，引领观者步入她流动的情绪场域。

陶斯祺在这组新作品中对其长期创作进行延展，通过追溯波德莱尔在丑陋腐坏的都市中对真善美的竭力求索，审视当代语境下情感需求和身体体验中的挣扎与矛盾。

陶斯祺以往的作品多为尺幅较小的绘画，而在本次展览中，艺术家首次在大型画布上创作，呈现更具野心、复杂精细的视觉叙事。展位设计旨在唤起感官和情绪的多重体验。中央墙面上左右挂着两片金属网帘，两件竖幅的画作由不锈钢臂支撑，营造出束缚与延展间的张力。展位中央的落地装置为观众提供了非常规的绘画观看方式。柔软的皮革长椅和好似动物皮毛的地毯与金属的冰冷坚硬形成对比，邀请观者进入沉浸的感官体验。

Capsule Shanghai is pleased to present Chinese artist Tao Siqi’s (b. 1994, Wuhan, China) solo project “Possession” in the Focus section of Frieze New York, showcasing a new group of paintings developed based on the artist’s reflection on the anthology Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil) by French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821 – 1867).

Dealing with themes of eroticism, obsession, loss of innocence, morbidity and suffering, Baudelaire’s poetry uncovers the beauty of sins to contemplate the complexity of human existence. Likewise, Tao’s painting over the past few years forms a survey of human emotions and desires through subjects of lust, intimacy, dependency, violence and destruction. Her empathetic depiction of what is conventionally considered sins and decadence challenges pre-existing notions of vice and virtue, redefining taboo and erotica as prisms of our physical and psychological existence.

Tao’s delicate brushwork and distinctive viewpoint of close-ups capture vignettes of aching tenderness and titillating brutality. Characteristic of her recent works, florescent and saturated hues dominate the canvas, elevating the subjects from realistic representation and luring viewers into her realm of fluid sensations.

Expanding on her on-going practice, the new body of works traces Baudelaire’s despairing search for beauty and innocence in a metropolis of grotesqueness and immorality, and inspect the struggles and paradoxes of emotional longing and bodily experiences in the contemporary context.

As an artist known for making modestly-sized paintings, Tao Siqi, for the first time, works on a large-scale canvas to accomplish more ambitious and intricate visual narratives. The booth is designed to evoke a complexity of sensory and emotional responses. The central wall is framed by two pieces of soft-metal mesh curtains. Two vertical paintings on this wall are supported by stainless-steel arms that create a tension between constraint and extension. In the center of the booth, a free-standing installation engages viewers in an alternative way of experiencing a painting. Soft leather coaches and carpet reminiscent of animal fur juxtapose the coldness and solidity of metal with warmth and softness, inviting the viewer into an immersive sensory experience.

关于艺术家

ABOUT THE ARTIST

对身体和肉体作为感性和性的载体的迷恋，是陶斯祺在绘画实践中探索的主题。她以强烈而灼热的色彩、细腻的笔触和独特的特写视角来研究各种形式的欲望，试图在美丽与毁灭、温柔与暴力、诱惑与禁忌之间创造一种张力，引发一种挑衅性的观看体验，并触发情感上的紧张和不安。这些画面带有超现实的气息，在快乐与痛苦之间摇摆不定。

陶斯祺于1994年出生于中国湖北武汉，现工作生活于上海。她于2016年毕业于湖北美术学院油画系，获学士学位。她的个人展览包括 “Trembling”, Fortnight Institute，美国纽约（2022）；“Deep Water”，Clima, 意大利米兰（2022）；“嫩刺”，胶囊上海，中国上海（2021）和 “暂存”，chi K11 艺术空间，中国武汉（2015）。群展包括 “Games People Play”，Nathalie Karg Gallery，美国纽约（2024）；“Deep!

Tao Siqi’s paintings are rooted in her fascination with the body and flesh as a medium of sensibility and sexuality. She delves into desire of all forms through her intense colors, delicate brushstrokes and characteristic close-up perspective. By creating a tension between beauty and destruction, tenderness and violence, temptation and taboo, her surreal scenes inspire a provocative viewing experience and conjure emotional unease, flickering between pleasure and pain.

Tao Siqi was born in Wuhan, Hubei province, China in 1994, and currently lives and works in Shanghai. She graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Art with a BA in painting in 2016. Her solo exhibitions include “Trembling” at Fortnight Institute (New York, USA, 2022), "Deep Water" at Clima (Milan, Italy, 2022), "Tender Thorns" at Capsule Shanghai (Shanghai, China, 2021) and "Transient" at chi K11 Art Space (Wuhan, China, 2015).

That’s not to say that more traditional art centers have nothing to offer at this edition of Frieze. Tao Siqi’s erotically charged paintings make for an almost too-hot-to-handle presentation at Capsule Shanghai.
