“每个人心中都有一面镜子，触摸内心深处的时候你会看到另一个自己。”

熊宇是中国当代艺术的中坚力量，同时也是70后重要的标志性艺术家。在他的绘画中可以找到七十年代中后期一代人的许多特征，比如梦想，漫画的视觉风格，幻觉似的体验，形象和颜色的酷，以及电子文化的感觉。熊宇又是一名拥有古典主义背景的画家，他常常打破社会现实的禁锢，通过超现实的、虚拟世界来构建属于自己的艺术语言。熊宇的作品中常常涉及理想与现实的主题，关注社会现实与理想的关系。作品中翅膀，照亮画面的光束，这些元素强调与突出了人类的信念。艺术家说“每个人都会有梦想，而梦想往往像隐形的翅膀一样存在于我们的心灵当中。”熊宇的作品不受固有模式的限制，那些夸张的接近漫画形象的角色长着大大的眼睛，用优美典雅的姿态，轻易地就吸引了参观者的眼球，并直面我们的内心，看到熊宇的作品想到的也许会是曾经的梦想，自己有过的愿望。
“穿过心中的镜子看到一个真实的自己。”

熊宇1975年生于四川省成都市，于2002年毕业于四川美术学院油画系 获硕士学位，现任教于四川大学艺术学院。熊宇2000年起活跃于当代艺术领域，作品曾多次参加国内外重要展览。此次展览将持续至7月31日。
 
 Following Xiong Yu’s solo exhibition “Angel in City”, another solo exhibition, “Mirrors of the Heart”, will open at XX on July 7, 2011.

“Everyone has a mirror in their heart. You’ll see another you when you touch your innermost heart.”

Xiong Yu is one of the most outstanding Chinese contemporary artists and also an important representative of post-70s artists. In his works one can find many characteristics of mid to late 1970s artists, including their dreams, visual cartoon styles, experiences of illusion, images and colors’ “cool”, as well as expressions of electronic culture. With his classical background, Xiong Yu always breaks the rules of real society and constructs his own art language through surreal and virtual worlds. His works touch upon topics of ideals and realities and focus on the relationship between social reality and ideals. The elements of wings and beams of light in his works convey people’s faith. The artist says: “Everyone has a dream, existing in their hearts just like invisible wings. “ Xiong Yu’s works are not influenced by fixed forms. These exaggerated characters with big eyes and elegant gestures easily draw viewers’ eyes to the works, and face directly into our hearts. Xiong Yu’s works bring one back to any dream or desire one has ever had.

“You will see your real self through the mirror of the heart.”
Xiong Yu was born in 1975 in Chengdu, Sichuan province. He earned his Master’s degree from the Oil department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2002, and now is an assistant professor at the Art College of Sichuan University. Xiong Yu has been active in contemporary art since 2000, and his works have been shown at many important exhibitions domestically and internationally.  This exhibition ends on July 31, 2011.
