The Chinese Scholar Ink Paintings and Works of Art 中国当代水墨作品展

02/07/2012

The Contemporary Scholar Studio:Ink Paintings and Works of Art will be held at Fuller Building in New York from March 17 to 23, 2012. The exhibition is presented by five friends of Spring. Five friends with a shared passion for the arts of the Chinese literati aesthetic past and present but each with a distinct expertise come together to present the spirit of the Chinese scholar through objects collected, contemplated and created. From ink paintings and calligraphy to scholar’s rocks, brush pots, brush rests, ink stones, and zitan trays and stands, the scholar’s studio for centuries has been a place of creation and presentation and a refined expression of Chinese taste. Here the comradeship of connoisseurship was celebrated and objects admired for their beauty, links to tradition and power to inspire creativity and contemplation. The current renaissance in Chinese ink painting is represented in this exhibition by internationally acclaimed artists and younger painters on the cusp of renown that resonate with the literati spirit and are at home with objects from the past - a 15th century blue and white mortar, 18th century boxwood Ruyi sceptre or a Qing rootwood waterpot. Contemporary visions in ink and clay combine with objects from the scholar’s desk in wood, bronze, and ceramics to capture the artistic essence of the literati tradition and sensibility. 展览《当代文人工作室：水墨及艺术品》将于2012年3月17日至23日在纽约Fuller大厦举办。此次展览由五位专家合办，收集中国古今幽雅文艺的精华是这五位志同道合专家的特爱。今春展出了他们各人聚集的文人所喜爱收藏的伶巧藏品。 从古至今，创造设计这些品物的出发点是以 雅趣为主。无论书画，灵石，笔筒，笔架，砚台，紫檀文具，几世纪来，这些文人书斋里的摆设表达一个藏家的雅兴。志趣相投的鉴赏家在这里共同欣赏这些文艺精华，体会到创造这些物品的美意，才能。历来中华以书画为上，展出的几位世界闻名及崭露头角的画家的上品代表近人水墨画的成就。这些书画文艺完美的配合著陈列中的十五世纪的青白臼，或十八世纪黄杨木的如意，或清代阴木水盂。现代水墨画或陶瓷创造品，陪伴著这些文房四宝，无论是木，青铜，或陶瓷，它们都有传统的文人雅意。

Contemporary Chinese Ink on Paper 意在笔先－中国当代水墨画展

04/11/2011

Eli Klein Fine Art is going to present “Contemporary Chinese Ink on Paper,” an exhibition featuring new works by Li Jin, Liu Qinghe, Wang Jinsong, Wei Dong, Wu Yi and Zhu Wei. It goes without saying that the Chinese ink painting holds very particular connotations. For a general audience, Chinese ink painting means elegant calligraphy and profoundly subtle landscapes. It suggests moral overtones, and often represents a mythic Chinese proximity to the spiritual. This show has gathered artists who, to different degrees, exploit the classic nature of the genre known as ‘ink painting,’ and who, in separating the genre from the medium, create visually engaging and often humorous works of art. 艺莱纽约画廊将举办“意在笔先—中国当代水墨画展”， 展出六位艺术家：李津， 刘庆和，王劲松， 魏东， 武艺以及朱伟最新的作品。 毋庸置疑，水墨作为画材具有非常特殊的意义。对于观众来说，中国水墨画意味着优美的书法和对山水深远微妙的描绘。它象征着一种精神追求，具有神秘的意境。参展的艺术家都不同程度地借用水墨画已被人所熟知的传统，却将画材与题材分离，从而创造出极具幽默感和视觉魅力的画作。

For some artists, the sentimentality of traditional ink painting is a spark for their sardonic wit. Li Jin mythologizes the everyday in a series of works. Referencing the illustrations of traditional Chinese literature, he replaces the heroic journeys of antiquity with irreverent anecdotes about domestic life. Wu Yi also subverts the romance of tradition, whose quiet, novel scenes belie darker themes that hint at Revolutionary politics. 对于这些艺术家来说，传统水墨画那种多愁善感的特质正是他们风趣幽默的灵感来源。在李津的作品中，日常生活被涂上了一层神话般的色彩。他借用了表现中国古代文学的连环画，内容却用家庭琐事来取代古代英雄的征程。武艺则颠覆了浪漫主义传统，在安静的小说一般的场景背后，是挑战现实的黑色幽默。

Several artists challenge one’s formal expectations of the medium. Liu Qinghe and Wang Jingsong’s compositions capitalize on the ink’s watery nature and its capacity to render energy and movement.  Wei Dong, on the other hand, bypasses ink almost entirely. Vaguely rendered ink landscapes serve as backdrops to surreal erotic apparitions painted in acrylic. 他们的作品挑战了人们对于水墨题材的固有认知。刘庆和，王劲松的构图正是利用水墨流动的特质，来表现能量以及动态。魏东则仅仅在背景中略微地使用水墨来描绘山水，模糊存在的山水将前景中超现实的油画人物突显出来。

Still other artworks transcend the tenuous relationship between tradition and modernity to address sociopolitical issues. For Zhu Wei, ink painting is overtly presented as an imprint of Chinese culture. His artistic witticisms derive their power from Revolutionary politics, namely the propagandistic tenets of Social Realism. 还有一些画作在题材上跨越传统和现代，并用古今关系来暗喻社会政治现实。朱伟的艺术追求体现在批判现实上。他认为，水墨画在中国文化中的代表性被夸大了。他的题材则取自社会主义的宣传策略。

This exhibition will be on view at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York from May 11 through June 26, 2011. 本展览将于2011年5月11日至6月26日在纽约艺莱画廊举办。

"Twenty years ago the then twenty-seven-year-old Zhu Wei was discovered at Guangzhou’s China Art Expo. His work was quickly pigeon-holed as Political Pop or Cynical Realism, designations that continue to rankle him and do a disservice to his subtle, sophisticated and ultimately humanist art. His punkish appearance and signature figures with their large square heads and thick lips disguise a cultured man whose taste runs from Bono to Bartok and whose art looks to Song and Tang masterpieces for inspiration and technique. He is a visual diarist of the daily world who chronicles the life around and within him with a soft palette and wry gentleness. Traditional symbols and persona mingle with street corner characters with baggy sweatshirts and ear buds. Among those traditional motifs, peaches, the symbol of long life, have been a recurring presence in his art. Inspired by the Yongzheng famille-rose peach vase now in the Shanghai Museum, Zhu Wei has embarked on a series of charming portraits of this fruit long the subject of Chinese art and perhaps for him a reaffirmation of simple virtues under siege in the materialism of a changing China." “二十年前，那时在广州中国艺术展览会中刚二十七岁的朱伟给发现了。他很快的变成当时注目的政治流行或讥笑现实主义画家。这样的称号使他很难过，对他灵巧，懂世故，人性的艺术品有损害。他摇滚派的衣著，画的大方头，厚嘴唇的标点人形遮蔽了一个有文学的人。他爱好的音乐从Bono到Bartok，他画的灵感和技巧是从唐，宋名家而来。他是一个视察日常生活者，用轻笔调色，沮丧的温柔来记载著旋转他附近的生活，传统的符号和街边穿了阔大的汗衫，带了耳环的人物角色。寿桃是他常用传统性的主题，这是受了上海博物馆陈列的雍正粉彩，玫瑰寿桃花瓶的影响。朱伟画了几集有魔力性的寿桃，这题材是中国画家所久爱好的。可能也是他对目前崇拜唯物主义的中国要显示单纯物质主义的优点。”

Group Exhibition "Tradition and Transition" at Williams College Museum of Art, USA 美国威廉姆斯大学美术馆群展《传统与转型》

05/27/2010

Williams College Museum of Art

April 3-August 1, 2010 Williamstown, Mass.- The Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) presents Tradition and Transition: Recent Chinese Art from the Collection, an exhibition celebrating a recent gift to the museum of Chinese art dating from the later twentieth century to the present day. This exhibition was organized by Elizabeth Gallerani, Coordinator of Mellon Academic Programs, with Rong Zhao, Graduate Student in the History of Art, Class of 2010, and Patrick Rhine, Class of 2010. On view through August 1, 2010, the exhibition includes twenty-five works of art including paintings and sculptures, most of which were created during the last two decades. 从2010年4月3日至8月1日，美国麻省威廉姆斯镇的威廉姆斯大学美术馆（简称WCMA）将展出二十世纪末迄今的中国艺术作品，展览名为《传统与转型：近期馆藏中国艺术品展》。展览由梅隆学术项目负责人Elizabeth Gallerani策划，该校2010年美术史系毕业生张荣（音译）及Patrick Rhine予以了协助。展期将持续到8月1日，展品包括25件绘画及雕塑，其中大部分都创作于近二十年内。

The eleven featured artists created artworks during a time of extraordinary cultural transformation in China. They made a new visual language that embodies aspects of traditional Chinese art while responding to a time of great transition. While not comprehensive, the works on view represent a range of styles, from more traditional Chinese art to styles utilizing Western techniques or theories, which was permitted after the death of Chairman Mao Zedong in 1976 and the ensuing collapse of the Cultural Revolution. 这11位各具特色的艺术家都是在中国急剧的文化转型中从事着他们的创作。他们创造了一种新的视觉语言，对中国传统艺术和当前社会大转型的现状兼收并蓄。此次展览虽然在全面性上仍存欠缺，但选择的展品能向观者呈现跨越度相当广的不同风格，从偏向于中国传统艺术的，到采纳西方技法和理论的，西方技法理论的传播在1976年毛泽东去世、并因此而促使文革结束后在中国成为可能。

The selected artists include: Nie Ou, Xiao Ping, Xu Lele, Chen Zizhuang, Ding Yanyong, Hu Yongkai, Wei Dong, Qiu Deshu, Zhu Wei, Zeng Shanqing, and Qiu Xiaofei. 入选参展艺术家包括：聂鸥、肖平（音译）、徐乐乐、陈子庄、丁衍庸、胡永凯、魏东、仇德树、朱伟、曾善庆、仇晓飞。

The Williams College Museum of Art is located on Main Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. 威廉姆斯大学美术馆位于麻萨诸塞州威廉姆斯镇主街旁。
