présentation - 展览介绍 :
After Lyu Yan’s solo show titled “Pertinacity” held in 2010 and the solo show at the 2012 Art Taipei , artist Lyu Yan is holding his new solo exhibition “Road- Portrait” with some recent works including mixed media on paper and canvas created between 2012 and 2013.
Lyu Yan graduated from the Fourth Oil Studio of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2005. After graduation he becomes a professional artist. He thinks the painting creation as a life style and attitude. He doesn’t care much about the delight of material life. He constantly introspects himself. He likes Lao Zi’s theory of philosophy. He loves to go fishing at his free time and practice calligraphy everyday. It seems he lives in an ancient time.
This exhibition gathers 20 pieces. Subject matters include landscape, portrait of horses and landscape with a dragon. These works express a sense of tranquility and takes you into a world of quietness.
The title of this exhibition “Road” seems like a way of self-expression for artist Lyu Yan. He even wants to name his every solo show with this kind of soul-searching expression. He said “When I am painting, I am far away from the form. No matter what the image looks like, if it is the same as the image in my brain, I am satisfied. At that time I am never sharp but happy. I always hope that the painting can tell the emotions in my different phases. Maybe it is a process of communication with my soul. Everyone says you should paint what you want to paint naturally. In fact the embarrassing phase is interesting too, if only the embarrassment is natural. Just like you fall in love, you have no courage to tell the person, but you let the person know it with other approaches. A kid always wants to be a grown-up for the seductive expectation; an adult likes to taste the past because the past is unchangeable truth. It is a pity that, the older you are, the less curiousness and puerility you have…..”
继2010年“执拗”吕岩个展和2012台北博览会之后，吕岩带着新作在北京9艺术空间举办了“途径-肖像”个人作品展。此次展出的作品是吕岩在2012-2013年创作的，包括纸本综合材料和布面综合材料。
吕岩毕业于中央美院油画系四工作室，2005年毕业之后就走上了职业艺术家的道路。他将绘画视为一种生活态度和生活方式，在物质生活上尽量缩减，不断自我反省，喜欢老庄哲学，奉中庸之道，闲暇时间最喜欢钓鱼，每天早起都会提笔练字。像是一个生活在古代的人。
这次展览共展出了20余幅作品，有河边的风景、以肖像命名的马、还有加入了龙的形象的风景……看似毫无关联的题材，却都透露着一种不可言说的静谧。走在展厅，仿佛与世隔绝，与外边热乎乎的天气对比，似乎有一种凉意袭来，却不至于让人寒冷。
这次展览的名字为“途径”，在吕岩看来绘画便是将感受自内而外抒发的一种途径，甚至于以后每次个展都取这样一个名字的冲动。用他自己的话说：“画画的时候，所谓的“形式”似乎里的遥远，不管出现什么样的形象，和脑袋中的形象对上眼儿了就觉得踏实了，每当这个时候思维变得不灵敏了，确实最开心的时候。总是希望画的东西能替自己说清楚某个阶段的“情绪”，也是自己与自己交流的心理历程吧。都说画画要自然而然，随心所欲，然而尴尬的时候也是挺有意思的，只要尴尬的真实，不造作。就像喜欢一个人，不敢说，但终究想办法要那人明白。
