YANG Xinguang: Immeasurably Fair  楊心廣《無限美好》

YANG Xinguang
Immeasurably Fair

14 September - 12 October 2013

Gallery EXIT is pleased to present "Immeasurably Fair" an exhibition of new works by Beijing-based artist Yang Xinguang. The 10 aluminium and fiberglass reliefs as well as wooden and metal sculptures on show are a continuation of Yang's enquiry into form making without artifice yet they display a shift in his practice as allusion pervades over form.

The exhibition title refers to the latent but nonetheless ubiquitous force of Nature and  its unbiased omnipotence. According to the artist, it is a form of spiritual ignition through idealizing an unbounded beauty that is inapplicable to reality. But such visualisation compels one to bring forth the imagined in a tangible existence and thus infinite possibilities are formed into matter.

Golden, a series of aluminium composite plates with protruding geometrical elements illustrates this infallible energy. With unrestrained gestures echoing the violence of a thunderstorm, the metallic surfaces are gouged with untidy marks that depict Chinese imperial architecture. The cosmologically influenced structures are reminders of the intrinsic connection between Heaven and Earth. Their pointed roofs, echoed by the triangular metal extensions, signify a constant propensity towards the ideal and perhaps the beyond.

"Immeasurably Fair" is Yang's second solo exhibition with Gallery EXIT. He has exhibited in a number of solo and group shows at Boers-Li Gallery, Beijing; Art Statements, Art Basel 41, Switzerland; Taikang Space, Beijing; Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing; The 1st Montevideo Biennial, Uruguay and Guangdong Art Museum, Guangdong. 

 楊心廣
​《無限美好》

2013年9月14日至10月12日

安全口畫廊呈獻北京藝術家楊心廣的最新作品系列。名為《無限美好》的展覽中將會展出十組玻璃纖維與鋁板浮雕、木和金屬的雕塑。藝術家藉著此系列延續其摒棄花巧、尋求基本形態的風格，然而新作又洐生出引喻比形體重要的新議題。

展覽構思源於大自然隱約卻又無處不在的無形而全能的力量。藝術家指：「《無限美好》是把美好變成願望，是一種精神激勵，而不是現實描述，但往往為了達到激勵的目的而強行將願望去印証現實，並輕易的造就〈無限〉」。

一系列名為《金色》的鋁板浮雕，鋁板上附有幾何形裝置，正好詮釋上述的無懈力量。藝術家以狂亂放縱的手法在金屬板上捏出痕跡、而線紋則構建宮廷建築的圖形 。天人合一的建築意境展示宇宙萬物相互相連的現象，而建築物朝天的屋脊亦應對著浮雕上尖尖的三角鋼體，意味着人們追求完美的習性和偏愛。


《無限美好》是楊心廣與安全口畫廊合辦的第二次個人展覽。其他展出地點包括：北京博而勵畫廊、瑞士巴塞爾第41屆藝術展裡新晉藝術家展區「Artist Statement」、北京泰康空間、北京尤倫斯當代藝術中心、烏拉圭第1屆雙年展及廣東美術館。
