亚洲艺术中心荣幸地宣布将于2020年5月16日至7月5日举办“李玉双同名个展”，呈现艺术家李玉双先生最新作品以及早期代表作。本次展览由方志凌策划，全面梳理李玉双先生从艺迄今六十余年的艺术探索成果，展出涵盖油画、水彩、水墨、素描、手稿等形式在内数十余件作品。

作为八十五岁高龄的老一辈艺术家，李玉双先生是美术界鲜有的坚持以自然为题材、坚持在自然中创作的艺术家。他将写生视为生活的一部分，理工科的知识结构背景促使他在写生时融入自然科学的视角，从而形成一套独特的观察方法和绘画体系，李玉双称之为“光编码”画法。他以超脱于世俗之外的目光看世间千山万水，下笔色彩斑斓间，时间从他的画面掠过，而不留任何痕迹。他笔下的风景有着中国水墨的自然韵味，既有光影变幻的色彩，也有灵动洒脱的笔触，天真烂漫，自成一派。

李玉双先生是国画大师李可染的长子，自幼就显示出良好的绘画天赋，虽然在建国初期高涨的“建设”热情中选择了科学事业，但绘画却是他一生的挚爱。到上世纪七十年代初，他以科学家的实践精神发展出自己独特的“编码画法”——“把自然界看成一个整体……画的时候看不到树和河沟，只能看到乱七八糟的色彩和明暗。”——也由此进入佳作迭出的艺术成熟时期。

Asia Art Center announced that  "Li Yushuang Solo Exhibition" will be held from May 16th to July 5th 2020, presenting the latest works and early masterpieces of artist Li Yushuang. Curated by Fang Zhiling, this exhibition comprehensively combs the results of Li Yushuang's artistic exploration for more than 60 years, thus for this time it will display more than 30 works including oil painting, ink painting, sketch, manuscript and other forms.

As an 85-year-old artist of the older generation,  Li Yushuang is one of the few artists in the art world who regards sketching outdoors as a part of life and insists on taking nature as the subject. The background of science and engineering knowledge has prompted him to integrate perspectives of natural science while sketching, thereby forming a unique set of observation methods and painting systems, which is as Li Yushuang called "light coding method". With a sight of detached secularity, he observes at the mountains and rivers of the world. His landscape showcases a natural charm of Chinese ink painting, which seems innocent while self-contained, with both changing colors of light and shadow as well as flexible and dynamic brushstrokes.

  李玉双同名个展  

1985年回北京后，李玉双先生开始了“全职”画家的生涯，写生艺术也进入意象宏阔、意趣多变的新时期，最近几年更步入无拘无束、无法即有法的“化境”自然之美、绘画语言之美与人性之美的相互交融，使作品闪耀出一种质朴而粲然的生命光华。

李玉双先生一生经历了战争、大建设、十年动乱、以及改革开放和民族复兴。在漫长的岁月里，无休止的“运动”与“新启蒙”，黯淡了大多数专业画家的才华，他却有幸避开种种漩涡，在几十年如一日的独晤自然中，他的艺术不仅激情洋溢地展示了那一代人特有的阳光、刚健的“时代之美”，更深刻地见证了这种美的自我超越与升华。

  Li Yushuang Solo Exhibition  

Li Yushuang, the eldest son of traditional Chinese painting master Li Keran, showed an extraordinary talent for painting since childhood. Although he stepped toward ascientific career under the soaring enthusiasm of "construction" during the initial stage of the People's Republic of China. Painting, however, remained Li Yushuang's sole passion and love, accompanying him throughout his subsequent lifetime. By the beginning of the 1970s, he developed a unique "code method" based on his practical spirit of a scientist. "Taking nature as a whole while painting, Li Yushuang is keen on recording colorful light and dark yet ignoring trees and river ditches." Thus, the chapter gradually enters a period of artistic maturity of excellent works.

Li Yushuang worked as a "professional" painter since he returned to Beijing after 1985. Afterwards, his landscape has entered a free state that is unrestrained and unreachable, in which the blending of the beauty of nature, painting language and human nature renders the picture a unique brightness that is not the outward exquisiteness and magnificence, yet the plain of life and beauty realized in the spiritual dialogue between the artist and nature.  

During his lifetime, Li Yushuang underwent wars, great leap forward, ten chaotic years, the period of Reform and Opening-up and national rejuvenation. During this extensive period of time, endless "political movements" and "new enlightenments" dimmed the talents of most professional painters. Nevertheless, Li Yushuang was fortunate to shun all kinds of vortexes. In the decades of mundane encounters with nature, his art not only profoundly display the unique shimmer and perseverance of his generation, which also witnesses the self-transcendence and sublimation of "the genuine beauty of the times".

——Fang Zhiling

In this moment, I would like to commemorate and express my gratitude to my father Li Keran and my mother Su'e.

——Li Yushuang

关于艺术家 About Artist



李玉双，1935年出生于江苏徐州，是国画大师李可染的长子，母亲苏娥为沪上戏曲名家苏少卿长女，少年在家学熏陶下开始了创作之路。1956年，毕业于北京机械制造学校的李玉双赴上海交通大学造船学院进修，之后分配到郑州机器制造学校教授工程力学，在工作之余坚持艺术创作，这一时期以水彩画创作为主，多为描绘学校及周边村庄的景色，创作了大量以自然风景为题材的水彩画和速写作品。1969年，开始常赴河南鲁山、平顶山等地写生。1971年，李玉双开始研究人类视觉与艺术的关系，制作相关模型并尝试视觉试验，逐步形成一套独特的观察方法和绘画体系。李玉双称之为“光编码”画法。1986年返回北京，逐渐开始探索水墨、丙烯等综合材料的运用，探索中国材料对色彩的表现力，并坚持写生创作从未间断。2010年，工作室建好，不过所有写生依然在室外完成。他开始大幅面的作品创作，使用综合材料，尝试西方材料与中国传统纸张的结合。2015年，今日美术馆举办六十年艺术个展，共展出作品60余幅。2017年，前往日本、台湾、新西兰等地写生；2018年5月，中国国家大剧院举办个人绘画展，被专家誉为 “东方的莫奈”。 艺术理念：李玉双先生认为绘画系统与认知系统是同一个系统，作画的过程就是对世界，对生活的认知，而他的画就是他的生活本身。六十余年埋首于科学研究与绘画艺术，并近于朝圣般地热爱着自然。李玉双先生六十余年如一日以自然为唯一主题进行写生创作和独立研究。在李玉双看来，“光编码”是上帝传递给人类的最初信息，他只是忠实地将这些信息呈现出来，并无丝毫增减。而他能看到“光编码”，则是他基于视觉研究、长期不懈的观察训练的结果。他的绘画既非机械的“画物本体”，也非主观的“画心像”。他的眼光已经超越了绘画的光影色彩，而触及到宇宙自然、天地万物的本质。在探索“光编码”奥秘的艺术之旅中，李玉双看到的是一个无穷尽的世界。作为一位八十五岁高龄的中国当代艺术家，他是中国艺术领域罕有的坚持以自然为题材、坚持在自然中创作的艺术家；他有工程学背景和科学知识背景，以系统化的科学方法进行艺术创作，又在科学之眼的帮助下，用艺术表达他对宇宙和自然的理解。

Li Yushuang, born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu in 1935, is the eldest son of Chinese painting master Li Keran. His mother, Su'e, was the eldest daughter of the Shanghai opera master Su Shaoqing. The specific artistic atmosphere started to impress Li Yushuang since his childhood. In 1956, Li Yushuang, who graduated from Beijing Mechanical Manufacturing School, went to the Shipbuilding Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University for further studies. Afterwards, he was assigned to Zhengzhou Machine Manufacturing School to teach engineering mechanics, meanwhile he insisted on artistic creation during his spare time. At this period, he mainly focused on watercolor painting, mostly depicted the scenery of schools and surrounding villages, and created a large number of watercolor paintings and sketches based on the subject of natural scenery. In 1969, he went to Lushan, Pingdingshan in Henan Province and other places for outdoors sketch, and began to paint mountain scenery, river beaches and folk customs with xuan paper and ink. In 1971, Li Yushuang started researching the relationship between art and visual sight. He operated relative models and visual experiments, and gradually formed a unique set of observation methods and painting systems, which is so called as "light coding method". Li Yushuang returned to Beijing in 1986, afterwards he gradually began to explore the comprehensive use of ink, acrylic and other materials, persisting in the creation of sketches. His studio was built in 2010, however since then all the sketching was still finished outdoors. He began to create large-scale works, using comprehensive materials, intending to combine Western materials with the traditional materials of Chinese paper. In 2015, Today Art Museum held Li Yushuang's solo exhibition, displaying more than 60 artworks. In 2017, he visited Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and other places for sketching. In May 2018, National Centre for the Performing Arts of China held a solo art exhibition for Li Yushuang, which was praised by experts as "Monet of the East".
 Artistic Theory: Li Yushuang believes that the painting system and the cognitive system are comparable. He regards the process of painting as the recognition towards the world and life, thus his painting faithfully represents his life. He has been immersed in scientific research and art creations for more than 60 years, pursuing nature almost like a pilgrimage. Li Yushuang believes that "light coding" is the first message God sent to mankind, thus he faithfully presented these messages without any increase or decrease. The system of "light coding" triggers his presentation of long-term tireless observation training based on visual research. His paintings neither depicted mechanical "artificial objects" nor subjective "painting images". His vision has surpassed the color of light and shadow in painting, touching the nature of the universe which consists of all mundane objects in the world. In this regard, through the artistic journey of exploring the mystery of "light coding", Li Yushuang witnessed an endless world. As an 85-year-old Chinese contemporary artist, Li Yushuang insists in drawing from nature and creating in nature, which is quite rare in Chinese art field; with a science and engineering background, he creates art in a systematic and scientific way and expresses his understanding of the universe and nature through his "science eyes". Significant Exhibitions: “Li Yushuang Solo Exhibition”(Asia Art Center, Beijing, 2020), "Yushuang's Sketches - 2018 Transoceanic Travelling Sketches Exhibition" (Whitebox Choice, Beijing, 2018), "Colors in the Field - Solo Exhibition of Li Yushuang" (World Food Prize Hall of Laureates, Des Moines, Lowa, 2018), "Draw what I see - Li Yushuang Painting Solo Exhibitions" (National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing, 2018), "The Nature Showed by my eyes Li Yushuang " (SZ Art Center, Beijing, 2018), "From and For Nature: Landscape in the perspective of Light-Code Art Exhibition of Li Yushuang's six decades on sketches and paintings" (Today Art Museum, Beijing, 2015).
