麦勒画廊荣幸地宣布我们将在瑞士卢森的画廊举办艺术家张雪瑞（1979年生，现生活和工作于北京）在麦勒画廊的首次个展“作为本体的日常”。本次展览将展出张雪瑞的最新绘画和织物装置。

张雪瑞经常是从画面的三个边角入手，先确定这三块格子的色彩，其后的工作则是把它们以最不易分辨的方式过渡起来。因此，当她开始色彩渐变部分的时候，色调或者说色彩序列关系已不再是首要的工作，尤其是当她把注意力集中在一块方格之内的时候，在这个孤立的局部中，涂抹，以及对这一身体动作的控制成为了一种让人沉浸的经验。另一方面，相邻格子之间被压缩到极致的色差，则让我们把注意力集中在了最细微的色彩感知上，而对整体画面结构的知性判断被暂时悬置了，也就是说，观看也和作画一样进入了一种线性的（时间性）的体验。    

在分析和讨论张雪瑞绘画作品的时候，不应忽视的是她织物类型的创作，它们足以构成与她的绘画相呼应的一条线索。在这些作品中，她经常是剪下衣物或床单上的花纹——有时候是花朵、心形，有时候是圆点——再把它们排列、拼贴成另一种组合形式，通常是模仿成抽象绘画的样子。这些作品更明确地呈现着她对日常生活经验的细心端详：这些衣物都是她自己或者家人穿过的，承载着她的个人记忆和经验。

Galerie Urs Meile Beijing is pleased to announce The Everyday as Ontology, the first solo exhibition of Chinese artist Zhang Xuerui (*1979, lives and works in Beijing) at our gallery. The exhibition will present Zhang Xuerui’s most recent paintings combined with her textile installations. 

Zhang Xuerui often starts with three corners of the painting, deciding the colors of these three squares. Her next task is to then form a virtually undetectable transition between them. For this reason, by the time she begins the color gradient component, the tones or the order of the colors is no longer the most important task. This is especially the case when she focuses her attention within a single grid. Within this one isolated unit, the act of painting, and the control of the body’s movements, form an immersive experience. In addition, the highly compressed color contrasts of the neighboring squares focus our attention on the finest color perceptions, while our judgment of the whole is temporarily suspended, which is to say that the viewing of the painting has, just like the act of painting itself, entered into a linear (temporal) experience.

In analyzing and discussing Zhang Xuerui’s paintings, we should not overlook her textile works, which form a corresponding clue to her paintings. In these works, she often cuts out patterns on blankets or clothing—sometimes flowers, sometimes hearts, sometimes circles—then rearranges and affixes them together in a new layout that often resembles an abstract painting. These artworks more clearly reveal her close examination of everyday life experience: this items are often something once worn or used by herself or her family members which bear loads of her individual memories and experiences.
