亚洲艺术中心荣幸地宣布将于2019年7月20日举办“不确定的修饰——杭春晖个展”。

从2015年“绘事物语”，到2017年“不分明”；从2018年“齐物”，再到“不确定的修饰”，艺术家杭春晖不断地在探讨、履新自我的绘画主题。

在他的创作历程中，每个阶段都带有对传统的实验与革新的意指，他的创作态度时刻保持着重塑与深化。

东方式的视觉观念，成为他作品的创作立场——矛盾观看方式、模糊“形”与“物”的界线、“物质”与“空间”的相互关系，以及讨论雕塑的物质属性与纸本绘画结合的可能性。

此次展览将展出包括：“被形式遮蔽的信息”、“无界”、“透明色”、“确定与不确定的再现”四个系列作品，呈现艺术家最新创作总计二十余件。

将“不确定的修饰”作为展览名称， 于最新作品“确定与不确定的再现”，这是2018年“无界”系列作品的拓展，一方面延续了杭春晖一直以来的绘画主题——物与形式的边界讨论；而另一方面也涉及到“再现”的双重解读（玻璃反射的物理再现与绘画视幻觉的形式再现）。这种矛盾的混合，不仅仅提供了观看方式的模糊，也产生了关于“再现”的不同文本解释。“修饰”是一种文学语汇，意指通过润色，使文本更加生动。在艺术家看来，绘画与现实的距离恰恰是一种形式上的修饰，在真实与幻觉之间，构建一个感性的视觉区域。诚如艺术家杭春晖所言：“到底是现实模拟了绘画，还是绘画模拟了现实？……”

展览将持续至2019年9月15日。

Asia Art Center is pleased to announce the opening of “Indefinite Rhetoric - Hang Chunhui Solo Exhibition” on July 20, 2019. From“Material and Style ” of 2015 to “Ambiguity” of 2017; from “Intertexuality” of 2018 to “Indefinite Rhetoric”, what Hang Chunhui has been continuously working on was exploring and renovating his artistic concept. Every single step in his art practice can present the experimental and innovative attempt to the tradition in painting at some point and the attitude to art that he always keeps is open to be redefined and become more profound. Eastern visual experience signifies his own artistic view, including the contradictory way of viewing, obscuring the boundary between “form” and “object”, interaction between “material object” and “space” and the possibility of combining the objecthood in sculpture and paintings on paper as well. There will be four series of works displaying on this exhibition, which are Message Obscured by Form, Boundless, Transparent Color and In-Definite Reproduction, over 20 pieces of the artist’s latest works in total. 

The exhibition titled “Indefinite Rhetoric” comes from Hang Chunhui’s most recent work In-Definite Reproduction; which is a continuation of the 2018 series Boundless. It broadens the issue always standing centrally in Hang Chunhui’s painting - discussions of boundary of both object and form; it also touches on dual interpretations on the notion of “reproduction” (the physical reproduction of light reflecting off glass and the formal reproduction of painting illusion). This paradoxical combination not only obscures ways of viewing but also provides a different textual explanation of the word “reproduction”. “Rhetoric” is a literary term that elaborates text by refinement. The difference between painting and reality happens to be a rhetoric of form - it is a sensual construct of visual context between reality and illusion. Just as Hang’s view: this is a question whether reality ssimulates painting or painting simulates reality.

The exhibition will be on view till September 15th, 2019.
