Click Ten｜《事物之影》参展艺术家耶苏

耶苏说：“梦境是另一种现实。” 十多年来，他不断将自己的梦境写入绘画、素描和不同类型的项目中。为了突破颜料在画布上的平面性，更好地表现梦的多维性，耶苏选择了改变和简化他的创作材料。

在《唐努乌梁海》系列中，他只在宣纸上使用中国传统水墨，并将页面格式改变为 3:5 的纵横比。这使得横向作品具有宽银幕电影的感觉，而纵向作品则参考了智能手机的屏幕。耶苏的黑白色调将图像与自然世界的色彩分开，使其保持在记忆和梦境中。唐努乌梁海位于中国西北部。清朝末年，俄罗斯逐渐控制了这一地区。现在，“唐努乌梁海 ”这个名字已经成为一个没有具体所指的符号。它的历史已被遗忘或抹去，如同昙花一现的梦境。

“The dream world is another kind of reality,” states Ye Su. For more than ten years he has been continuously writing about and transcribing his dreams into his paintings, drawings, and different types of projects. In an attempt to break through the flatness of paint on canvas to better represent the multi-dimensional quality of dreams Ye Su chose to change and simplify his materials. 

In the Tannu Uriankhai series he uses only traditional Chinese ink on rice paper and alters the format of the page to a 3:5 aspect ratio. This gives the horizontal work a widescreen cinematic feel, while the vertical works refer to the screen of a smart phone. Ye Su’s black and white palette separates the imagery from the color of the natural world keeping it in the realm of the memory and the dream state. Tannu Uriankhai is an area located in north western China. Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty Russia gradually gained control of it. Now, the name Tannu Uriahnkhai has become only a symbol with no specific reference. Its history has been forgotten or erased like the ephemerality of a dream.
