正在展出｜北京公社正在展出洪浩个展《有光》

有光之二 Light No.2 _ 2024

北京公社欣然呈现洪浩个展“有光”，展览于2024年12月12日开幕。此次展览将展出一系列洪浩的最新创作《有光》，以及部分其他早期与近期的作品，呈现洪浩对于人与物之间的关系，日常的对象与认知的方式，“边”、“界”与“一”的不断探索。

在洪浩最新的《有光》系列中，色彩明快、尺寸不一的方块让人感到轻松。这些看似随意的尺寸又添加了一种可读的游戏性，因为它们实则指向不同的工业生产纺织物——毛巾、毛衣、毛毯、地毯原本的大小。这其中的一些纺织物曾被艺术家日常使用过，抽象的形式隐含着多样而具体的用武之地。在有用与无用之间，《有光》系列中翻转着一连串感官的矛盾：坚硬与柔软、平滑与毛糙、反光与吸光。而这些矛盾来自一种超越常理的手法：艺术家使用了面对硬面材料时所采取的打磨与抛光，直到纺织物柔软脆弱的表面变得平整光滑甚至能反射出外部光源。

物境十九 The Realm of Matters No.19 _ 2023

In Hong’s latest undertaking Light, there is something blithe about coming across chunks of many-colored bricks in different sizes. It adds to the sense of playfulness when these seemingly random sizes suggest specific everyday fabrics like towels, sweaters, rugs, and carpets, some of which are culled from Hong’s used household goods. The surprisingly great variety of purposes implied in the abstract forms coalesce the useful and the useless. Light embodies sensually a welter of contradictions: hard and soft, smooth and textured, reflective and light-absorbent sensually. Above all, perhaps, it seems beyond imagination that in Hong’s hands, the new body of work utilizes the devices of sanding and buffing on a delicate and fragile textile surface. 

有光之六 Light No.6 _ 2024

For Hong, form, on the one hand, is the condition of knowing. On the other hand, forms imply different ways of knowing that draw the line between different realms of knowledge: “There are no such lines in nature; they are configured by man […]. The lines are not essentially self-sustained. They are conditioned and thus, ephemeral.” The configuration and deconfiguration of lines are at the core of Light in which a landscape of manufactured and everyday features between interlacing ingrain yarns transforms into a tableau brimming with dispositional traits of the seemingly symbolic and expressive compositions and brushwork. Between the figural and the abstract, object and representation, lies the relentless repetition of sanding the ridges and filling out the minute hollows. Appearing as a painstaking and meditative process of tracing the countless grains in Light, Hong’s practice is always to subvert in the way “as it is,” to transcend. From the grained and textured self to the reflected light and shadow, Light showcases Hong Hao’s constant pursuit of “no difference” that transcends “different ways of knowing.”
