在经历了漫长的新冠病毒疫情的冬天后，没顶画廊将于2020年4月12日推出重新开放后的首次展览：艺术家丁力个展 “4月12日，龙腾大道2879号106”。此次展览是丁力在画廊的第二场个展。画廊空间将以展览的方式再现丁力的工作室与工作状态，一同呈现的还有艺术家的全新绘画系列与该系列的创作过程。

在当下全球疫情肆虐、经济动荡的大环境中，中国正逐步走向复苏，但漫长的疫情防控仍未结束。此次公共卫生危机对于人们的生活状态与日常秩序都产生了极大的影响，同样也波及艺术行业与艺术社区，包括没顶画廊在内的诸多画廊与美术馆等艺术机构均暂停对外开放。在此背景下，艺术家丁力于3月17日将工作室搬至画廊空间，在此重新回归工作，回到创作本身，并于展览期间面向公众开放。

展览期间，丁力将持续创作其肖像系列。这些带有个人审美、来自网上的人物肖像，经过数据处理以写生的方式再现。单个体积的笔触通过丰富渐变的色彩变化达到立体效果，具有绘画性的抽象笔触模糊了对象容貌的个体性，但线条建构起带有内在情绪和力量的具象画面，抽离出人与人之间的陌生感。在这个社交隔离但人类作为共同体的命运却又从未如此紧密相连的艰难时刻，该系列肖像绘画在当下语境中被赋予新的意义。

展览题目“4月12日，龙腾大道2879号106”意在强调此次策划的时空性与在地性，关注的是在应对危机的凌乱与对未知现实的不安中，艺术家的当下的生活与工作状态。展览空间将再现艺术家工作室朴素、自然的样貌，在这个特殊时刻邀请观众一同走近丁力与他的创作。

没顶画廊将于此次展览开幕4月12日下午4 – 5点，通过数字平台ZOOM 于线上呈现展览开幕现场。

After a long winter with the challenging situation of COVID-19, MadeIn Gallery is pleased to present on April 12th 2020 its first exhibition after re-opening to public: a solo exhibition by Ding Li, titled “April 12th, No. 106, 2879 Longteng Avenue”. The exhibition marks the second solo show of the artist in MadeIn Gallery. In the form of an exhibition, the gallery will recreate Ding Li’s studio and present his working condition, along with the new painting series by the artist and its process of creation.  

Under the environment of global pandemic and economic turbulence, China is gradually recovering, though the long battle against the virus is not yet over. The current health crisis has impacted greatly on people’s living situations and daily routines, and inevitably it has also affected the art industry and community, as many galleries, museums and institutions including MadeIn Gallery were forced to temporarily close down. Given this background, since March 17th artist Ding Li has moved his studio into MadeIn Gallery, where he returns back to work and creation, and will be open to public during the exhibition period.

During the exhibition, Ding Li will continue to work on his portrait series. Reflecting on the artist’s own aesthetic criteria, these internet-sourced portraitures are processed digitally then painted as sketches. The voluminous brushstrokes produce a three-dimensional effect through gradation of colors. While the painterly style obscures the individuality of the subject’s facial feature, the abstract lines form a figurative picture filled with energy and inner emotions, pulling away from the sense of alienation between strangers. In the current hard times when we are social distancing but our future as humankind has never been so closely connected, the series of portraitures has been given new meaning in the current context. 

The exhibition title “April 12th, No. 106, 2879 Longteng Avenue” is intended to emphasize the temporality and spatiality as well as the site-specific nature of this initiative, focusing on the artist’s current living and working situation, while dealing with the chaos and uneasiness facing current crisis and our unknown future. The exhibition space will present the artist’s studio in its raw and undecorated condition, inviting audiences to together explore Ding Li’s studio and his practice.

Upon the opening reception on April 12th 16:00 to 17:00, MadeIn Gallery will go on live on ZOOM to present the event online.

关于艺术家

丁力1979年生于上海，2008年硕士毕业于法国巴黎国立美术学院(École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris)，现工作生活于上海。丁力的作品基于对架上作品的反复实验，以最终明确自身对绘画的纯粹表达。他关注基于媒材特性的绘画探索，通过对油画颜料、喷漆、画笔与画框的重构呈现全新的视觉语言。

The works of Ding Li are based on repeated experiments with the aim of defining a pure expression of his own in this media.
