Lines of Flight 24 March – 7 May 2016 Gallery EXIT is pleased to announce 'Lines of Flight', a group exhibition featuring works by Yun Kyung JEONG, Yusuke KOMUTA, Arin Dwihartanto SUNARYO and TSANG Chui Mei. The works demonstrates a diversity of artistic paths which converge and diverge on different social strata, liberating people from the ossified dichotomies in society. Yun Kyung JEONG (b. 1981, Incheon, Korea. Lives and works in London, UK) explores the link between the traditional and the contemporary, order and chaos. The natural elements of leaf, feather and flame, together with the use of black paint, seemingly resemble East Asian ink-and-wash paintings. However, the ambiguous abstract shapes generate multiple layers on the canvas, filling the paintings with free-spiritedness and aesthetic unruliness. Yusuke KOMUTA (b. 1983, Osaka, Japan) devises paintings that synthesize geometrical patterns and vibrant color schemes based on the motif of origami. Via miscellaneous painterly approaches, including sanding and airbrushing, KOMUTA dedicates to transform the flattened canvas into a realm of illusion and abstraction. Arin Dwihartanto SUNARYO (b. 1978, Bandung, Indonesia)’s works capture the spontaneity and question the tensions between natural and synthetic. Abandoning paintbrush, SUNARYO challenges the medium of painting and pushes the boundaries with innovative techniques by applying pigmented resin and volcanic ash with his hands. Accordingly, his paintings crystallize the dynamic creative process whilst searching the possibilities of painting today. TSANG Chui Mei (b. 1972, Hong Kong, China) adopts lyrical themes and delicately depicts details in her paintings. The artworks are the visualisation of inner mental landscapes imbued with tranquility and a sense of nothingness. Nevertheless, the deployment of daily and natural elements suggests the entanglement between reality and mental space, giving the elusive scene a sense of solidity. 《逃逸線》
2016年3月24日至5月7日 安全口畫廊呈獻分別來自韓國、日本、印尼及香港的四位藝術家首次合作群展《逃逸線》。參展藝術家包括Yun Kyung JEONG, Yusuke KOMUTA, Arin Dwihartanto SUNARYO以及曾翠薇。 《逃逸線》中的作品展示了各藝術家的藝術歷程如何於不同的社會階層中交匯行走，顯示出美學道路的多樣性，並希望能使觀賞者於日常社會上已僵化的二元對立觀念中解放出來。 韓國藝術家Yun Kyung JEONG的作品探索傳統與當代、秩序與混沌的關係。畫作中的大自然元素，如樹葉、 羽毛等，連同所用的黑色顏料，都彷彿呼應着傳統水墨畫。然而，模糊抽象的形狀為作品產生不同層次，使作品充滿了自由奔放及放任美學的氣息。 日本藝術家Yusuke KOMUTA的作品以摺紙為題，融合了幾何圖案和鮮豔明亮的色彩。透過各式各樣的繪畫方式，如打磨及利用噴槍填色，藝術家希望能將平面的畫布變成充滿幻象的抽象領域。 印尼藝術家Arin Dwihartanto SUNARYO的畫作捕捉了隨機轉變的𣊬間，並探討自然與人工合成之間的矛盾關係。SUNARYO放棄使用畫筆，利用創新的技巧，將染色的人工樹脂及火山灰作為顏料，並以雙手沾上及塗畫，藉以挑戰繪畫媒介及推闊繪畫界限。因此，其作品具體表現了充滿動力的創作過程，同時尋找繪畫的可能性。 香港藝街家曾翠薇的畫作以具抒情詩調及對細節的仔細刻畫而聞名。作品展現了藝術家靜謐虛無的精神領域。與此同時， 運用日常可見的大自然元素卻顯示了現實和精神領域的糾纏牽連，為這難以言喻的場境提供了一絲實在的感覺。 |
