présentation - 展览介绍 :
On September 7 at 15:00, on the occasion the White Dew day, marking the passing from summer to fall, Amy Li Gallery welcomes its fourth solo exhibition in cooperation with artist Li Jikai, entitled White Dew; this time it presents a new batch of easel paintings and, for the first time, colored ceramic plates. It is noteworthy that the catalogue includes a few poems written by the artist since 1997, so that this multifaced exhibition allows viewers to enter one step further into Li Jikai artistic world, and get a better perception of his philosophy and his reflections on life and art.
Li JIkai has a very strong intuition and an ability to perceive the world, and as life flows forward before his eyes, ripe with silent and complex emotions and the doubts that all human beings have in common, Li Jikai, as a distant observer standing apart from the crowd, perceives it all with his intuition, and consciously and accurately reflects the inner world of one man or of a group of men, while preserving the soul’s pain and the spiritual solitude. Li JIkai’s art gathers these things that we call the charm of the quality of life, such as the feeling of warmth, the value of character, or perhaps some deeply kept memories. On the extended plane of which Li JIkai is the director, this immaterial net always manages to catch your reflections. The mood of a painting is not the monologue of one man, nor self pity, it originates in the maturity of the inner emotions, in a narrative on psychological impressions, in a judgment on the spiritual world, while at the same time not losing its intimate natural appearance. Li Jikai paintings seem to be eternally detached from passing time, yet he eventually puts the time in his palm.
Li Jikai is constantly opening the realm of his creative painting, and if he puts his easel away, he can be a «craftsman» doing art, and from fragments of ceramics, white ceramic plates, go to colored ceramic plates, he restructures the new possibilities of painting, thus widening and extending the space for colors. His coloring à la Chagall is not a concrete accurate expression of objective things at a given time, but rather an experience in coloring that carries high spirits and emotions, and as befits the high temperature kiln, makes the results even more surprising and unexpected.
No upheavals, no reversing, it just looks like passing from summer to autumn, from the Last Heat to the White Dew, it is as though Li Jikai, leaving the age of doubts at 40, starts in the most natural manner to reap on his own art to develop a new autumn, a White Dew that is, as it were, a new beginning.
2013年9月7日15时，适逢白露节气，夏秋更替之际艾米李画廊将迎来与艺术家李继开合作的第四个个展——《白露》，此次展览将呈现李继开2013年一批新的架上绘画作品及首次亮相的彩色陶瓷盘，值得一提的是展览画册还收录了1997年至今艺术家的部分诗集，多元的展览形式让观者可以进一步走进李继开的艺术世界，领略到艺术家对于人生，对于艺术哲学式的思考。
李继开具备强烈的直觉和感知世界的能力，当浮动的生活慢慢在眼前展开，充满了它们无声的复杂的情感和人类所共有的疑虑，李继开就像一个远离人群之外的观察者，用直觉获取了一切，清醒而准确的去反映了一个人，一群人的内心世界，同时保持着灵魂的痛感和精神的孤独。李继开的艺术重拾了那些我们称之为生命本质魅力的东西，温暖的感情，人格的价值，或是心底保存的某种记忆。在李继开所导演的延展的平面里，这张无形的网，总是有办法罩住你的思绪。画面的情绪不再是一个人的自言自语，自哀自矣，它源于一种内心情感的成熟，一种对心里印象的叙述，对精神世界的审视，同时不失以自然的亲切外表。李继开的绘画似乎在以一种不可思议的永恒超脱无时不刻不在的时间，而后将时间玩弄于股掌之上。
李继开正不断的去打开自己的绘画创作的局面，撇开架上绘画，他还可以是一个做艺术的“手艺人”，从零碎的陶片，白瓷盘，再到彩色陶瓷盘，李继开重构了绘画的新可能，色彩表达因此获得更大的伸展空间。夏加尔式的色彩表现，它并不是客观事物瞬间时刻的准确具体的表达，而是带有一种高度的精神化和情绪化的色彩体验，配合高温的窑变，便使这样的呈现更具有惊喜和偶然性。
没有突飞猛进，也没有倒行逆施，就像夏天过渡到秋天，处暑过渡到白露，走向不惑之年的李继开也在以一种最自然的方式去收获属于自己艺术发展的另一个秋天，白露，恰似一个新开始。
