AIKE将在北京画廊周呈现展览“人群中的人”

AIKE将在2024北京画廊周艺访单元荣幸呈现“人群中的人”系列展览第二季，届时将带来方巍、胡昀、姜琤、李杰、李然、唐狄鑫、小西纪行、王晓曲、杨圆圆、郑梓程和奶粉zhou共11位艺术家的作品。展览将在2024年5月24日至6月2日于北京798艺术园区A07大楼举行。

“人群中的人”系列展览尝试借由埃德加·爱伦·坡的短篇小说《人群中的人》的侦探式视角重新诠释绘画作品中人和自己、他人、以及人群（社会）的关系。爱伦·坡是19世纪的作家和诗人，同时也是西方推理小说的先驱，他的文字富有黑暗浪漫主义的特征，利用象征、隐喻、夸张的文学手法呈现非现实状态中现代人的流动意识和精神困境。

纸上的文字如同画布上的笔触，引导着观者的视线在被构建而成的模拟现实空间中穿梭。小说中第一人称的“我”，也是观者面向画布的视角，带着每一个“我”追踪着来往行人的细节——“那些形形色色的身姿、服饰、神态、步法、面容以及那些脸上的表情”。最终所有情绪和特点被糅合成一位老人，“我”随着他在城市中奔走，循环往复地追逐着人群，拒绝孤独，也拒绝被了解。他是人群中的人，也是每一个人类个体的象征。本次展出的作品在画布上构造出具象却非写实的人物画面，观者同样可以通过定格的颜色、姿态、表情激活记忆和想象，化瞬间为永恒，一瞥之间捕捉画面中人物的瞬间意识，进而看到人群之中共通且复杂的精神世界，用以察觉自性，了解生活的本质。

AIKE is delighted to present the second season of the group show “The Man of the Crowed” series at Gallery Weekend Beijing 2024.  The exhibition will feature artworks by Fang Wei, Hu Yun, Jiang Cheng, Lee Kit, Li Ran, Tang Dixin, Toshiyuki Konishi, Wang Xiaoqu, Luka Yuanyuan Yang, Zheng Zicheng and Nathan Zhou.  The exhibition will be held from May 24 to June 2, 2024 at Beijing 798 ArtDist.

This exhibition takes reference from Edgar Allan Poe's The Man in the Crowd, a short story narrated from a detective perspective, attempting to reinterpret the relationship between a person with oneself, others, and the crowd (Society). Allan Poe is a 19th century writer and poet, as well as a pioneer of Western deductive reasoning novels. His writings are generally considered part of Dark Romanticism genre, using literary skills such as symbolism, metaphor and exaggeration to present the flowing consciousness and spiritual dilemma of modern people in unrealistic environment.

Just as brushstrokes on canvas, letters on paper also guide the viewers to wander among the constructed space of virtual reality. The first person narrative in the novel is also the perspective of the viewer when facing the canvas, which leads each ‘I’ to track the details of those passengers who walked by - “the innumerable varieties of figure, dress, air, gait, visage, and expression of countenance”. Eventually all emotions and features were merged into one old man, ‘I’ followed him across the city, chasing the crowd endlessly. The old man refused to be alone, nor does he allowed to be understood. He is the man of the crowd, a symbol of every human individual. The exhibiting artworks construct figurative but non-realistic images on the canvas. Through the frozen colours, gestures and expressions on canvases, viewers could also activate memory and imagination to turn moment into eternity, capture instantaneous consciousness of figure merely at a glance, and to further observe common and complex spiritual world of the crowd, therefore be able to perceive the nature of oneself and the essence of life.
