présentation - 展览介绍 :
Hi Art-Joy Project is honored to announce that Zhao Yiqian Solo Exhibition Here. Not. Here will be held at Joy Art Space in 798 Art District from October 12th to November 5th, 2013.
Here, Not Here series is the consistent subject of Zhao Yiqian’s works, “Here, not here, is a status, a possibility. For example, I see a beam of light from my angle, but it can’t be perceived from your side, this is here/not here”, Zhao said. After his graduation from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2006, Zhao Yiqian devoted himself into a contemporary artist’s life filled with busy creative works and exhibitions. The figure of human being seldom appears in his works. Instead, his works are congested with articles such as toys, clocks, electronic organs, doors, and windows, walls, which are quite common to be seen and usually ignored by us in daily life. Zhao Yiqian doesn’t mind people calling him “fetish”, collections of old clocks and other stuff often emerge in his works and exhibitions.
What Zhao truly focus on isn’t the “object” itself, but the story it carries about. “ Sitting in the restaurant, with this ordinary table, I would wonder who was eating on this table just a moment ago, what happened here beside the table. It actually carries quite abundant stories.” Just like this solo exhibition of Zhao Yiqian Here. Not. Here, with oil paintings on canvas plus installations, Zhao created three door, four walls, one piano and two windows, which link up the whole exhibition with exquisite ideas of Zhao. The three western style doors on one side of the wall have adopted the size of the original, one of which Zhao met in his way to Kashi, Xinjiang province. “ In Kashi, those or variegated or obsolete doors endure the polish of time, still standing there silently, shining brightly with their colors under the sun. People there are in a status quite alike those doors, which also experience the years yet live simply and crystally.” The status of people in Kashi is one long gone thing that Zhao Yiqian has been cherishing about in his works, the artist who was born in 1982 has profoundly experienced the explosive development of Chinese economy during his growing up, realizing that the expansion of people’s desire reduces happiness. The experience that Zhao Yiqian received a toy once belonging to his brother and which he was craving for in his childhood, feels like dreams fulfilled. This satisfaction happens less and less these days, richer material can’t raise people’s interest, and Zhao Yiqian starts to pay attention to the “object” settling through the time.
Chinese traditional aesthetics emphasizes a kind of “flowing time”- demonstrating the space in the flow of time, to which Zhao Yiqian’s works correspond. Zhao’s “object” is not a static fixed point; in fact, it’s a kind of flowing existence, carrying the progress how time was displayed. Zhao Yiqian is very sensitive to colors, the colors in his paintings is nothing less than abundant, but always revealing slight coolness. To portray the variegated door in his impression for Kashi, the artist takes initiative to tone down the colors, slowly displaying us the imagination about a place, a kind of life and an experience with calm and restrained colors. This creative progress is like an epiphany – intending to trace back the story of “time and space”, however suddenly understand ”Allthough time flows endlessly, life is in a moment” Like Zhu Liangzhi mentioned in the ‘Eternity in A Moment’, “Endless time and now, limitless space and here”, Zhao Yiqian created “ an ever playing piano, in an everlasting moment”. The past he wants to trace back, the present he wants to display, and the future in his imagination, is carried in the “object” that can be glimpsed in front of us. Zhao Yiqian creates a quiet space with them, inviting viewers to ponder.
“Hi艺术－卓越计划”荣幸地宣布，我们将于2013年10月12日至11月5日，在798卓越艺术空间，举办赵一浅个展《在，不在，这儿》。
“在，不在”系列，是赵一浅一直延续的创作主题，赵一浅说：“在，不在，是一种状态，一种可能性，比如从我的角度我看到一束光，而你的角度看不到，这就是在／不在”。2006年毕业于中央美术学院后，赵一浅就投入到当代艺术家繁忙的创作和展览生活中。他的作品中很少出现人的形象，而是被玩具、钟表、电子琴、门、窗、墙壁这些日常生活中司空见惯、时常被我们忽视的物件充斥着。赵一浅不介意别人说他“恋物”，收藏的老钟表等等常出现在他的作品或展览中。
他真正关注的，不是“物”本身，而是它所承载的故事。“坐在餐馆吃饭，我会想，这张普普通通的桌子放在这儿，有谁刚刚在这张桌子上吃过饭？这张桌子旁发生过什么？其实它承载了特别丰富的故事。”就像本次个展《在，不在，这儿》，布面油画加装置创作的三面门、四壁墙、一架钢琴、两扇窗户，就贯穿起整个展览和赵一浅的细密想法。展厅一面墙上三扇西方风味的大门，采用了跟原门同样的尺寸，有一扇门出现在艺术家在新疆喀什的旅途中。“在喀什，那些或斑斓或陈旧的门经受着岁月的磨砺，却还是很平静地存在着，阳光下它们的色彩格外地耀眼。那里的人们和那些门的状态很像，经历着沧桑，却活得简单、通透。”喀什人的状态是赵一浅作品中怀念的一种消逝已久的东西，82年出生的艺术家在自己的成长过程中深刻地体会了中国经济的爆炸式发展，人们随之而来的欲望增加反而降低了快乐值。赵一浅从哥哥手中得到一个小时候属于哥哥、而自己一直羡慕的玩具，觉得像是一个圆梦的过程。这样的情形越来越少出现在当下，丰富的物质提不起人们的兴趣，赵一浅开始关心经过时间沉淀出的“物”。
中国的传统美学观强调一种“流动的时间”，在时间的流动中展示空间，赵一浅的创作契合了这点。赵一浅的“物”不是一个静止固定的点，其实是艺术家眼中一种流动的存在，承载了一个时间展现的过程。赵一浅对颜色很敏感，他的画色彩不可谓不丰富，但总是透出淡淡的冷峻。描绘印象中喀什那扇色彩斑斓的大门，艺术家主动在颜色上“降调”了，关于一个地方、一种生活、一段经历的想象，用克制而冷静的色彩徐徐道来。这个创作过程有如一种顿悟，想追溯“时间＋空间”的故事，突然明白“万古长空，一朝风月”，像朱良志在《刹那永恒》中提到的那样，“万古的时间和此顷，无垠的长空和此在”，又或者像赵一浅的创作那样“一只弹不完的琴，永远在走的时间”。想要回溯的过去，想要表现的现在和想象中的未来，可以通过眼前所见一斑窥见，承载在“物”中。赵一浅用它们营造了一个安静、邀请观众思考的空间。
