In July 798 l Red Gate Gallery features a showpiece exhibition by three of the gallery’s foremost artists –
Lu Peng, Wei Qingji and Li Gang.
七月,798 / 红门画廊将会呈献一场三位画廊最顶尖艺术家——吕鹏、魏青吉和李刚的作品联展。
3 artists @ 798 presents selected works from the artists’ recent exhibitions. Lu Peng, Wei Qingji and Li Gang are very different in their choice and interpretation of subjects and techniques, but as Chinese artists of a similar generation their work presents a microcosm of the diversity and commonality of practice existing in China today.
@798三人展将展出由艺术家近期个展中精选出的作品。吕鹏、魏青吉和李刚的作品,从选材、主题到技法各有不同,但作为身处同一时代的中国艺术家,他们的作品均可以看作反映中国当代现实的共同点及多样性的缩影。
Figurative and symbolic elements link the artists’ works. Wei Qingji’s fictitious images are drawn from traditional and contemporary iconography, explored through ink and wash. Lu Peng’s surreal figures float entwined, in a dreamlike state, meticulously drafted with Chinese colour onto paper. Li Gang’s photographs of mysterious landscapes and vague interiors capture his intuitive, poetic view of the world and have spiritual associations.
比喻和象征元素贯穿着艺术家的作品。魏青吉通过探索新的水墨表现形式和汲取传统及现代的各种图形元素,创造出令人惊叹的意象。在吕鹏的作品中,梦幻般的人物形象经过采用中国传统颜料的细腻描绘而跃然交织于纸上。李刚描绘奇异风景和模糊的内心意识的摄影作品表达了他通过直觉对世界充满诗意的理解,并有一种和作者精神上的链接。
3 artists @ 798 is a forerunner to the major Olympic Stars exhibition which will present new work by the stable of Red Gate Gallery artists in August this year over the period of the Olympic Games in Beijing.
@798三人展将是一次先导性的展览。8月,在北京举办奥运会期间,红门画廊将隆重举办“奥运之星”作品联展。在“奥运之星”展上,红门画廊签约艺术家的全新作品将集体亮相。
