HOW+SPACE很荣幸的宣布，将于2023年3月3日起在HOW+项目空间展厅一呈现艺术家张长江的个展“寻瑰无相”。
张长江：寻瑰无相
世人偏爱玫瑰。自文明发展以来，玫瑰在各个时期都被赋予了符号化的意义，具有强烈的意识引导性。从古希腊众神时代到文艺复兴时期，玫瑰曾被捧上神坛象征爱神，也曾被文人、艺术家、哲人彰显其丰富的人文意义。
张长江全新个展“寻瑰无相”，以“CJ玫瑰”系列为展览核心，通过脉络清晰有迹可循的触点式创作，编织出一个远观是繁复的众相，而近看却是以无相玫瑰为索引的奇异空间。艺术家从形而上的角度将被神化、物化的玫瑰解构重组，使其更具有当代性从而引发同时代人的共鸣。

寻，是源点的启示，追溯张长江以往创作中的“瑰”迹。其笔触和艺术思想敏锐、活跃，不断见证和传承生命之花的精神。画中触点无限延长，进化，直到它所能到达这时代的最前沿。再深入艺术世界中无垠的幻想之地，去探索形式的多样性与未知交错碰撞。
艺术家画中那些非理性的线条和笔触消解了自然与无然的界限，叠加成有相即无相的状态。在迷失、探寻、生长、沉浸、重生的语境中，颠覆代表爱与美好的臆想与慰藉，推翻人们潜意识里的固化印象。褪去标签，脱离传统框架的玫瑰抛弃了物的表象，将循环往复的内里绽放开来，进入无言真我之境，直通自然之精粹。
瑰，是生与欲的旺盛表达，像流动的生命之水，无形无相，生生不息。寻而不得其貌是张长江为这次展览创作出的全新语境。代表着艺术家的创作手法：由点至线，线到面；再形成符号、触点，通过观察万物想象出一个对立世界与平行宇宙。发掘人类显性与隐性之间未被审视的区域。以更新的出发点，开启全新的契机。

在看似极繁主义的外壳下，张长江的作品折射出的是我们现在所处时代的本质：当信息足够多时，任意两点之间皆可连接也必须连接。艺术家将他对身边事物的收集与洞察，以非线形的形式重组延伸于他的作品中。以无限延伸的画面结构与乌托邦般天马行空的想象，和同处网络时代的人们产生精神上的共振。
同期展出张长江的雕塑“生生Endless”系列，也是艺术家对自己CJ创作语言的一次全新突破。非具相语言的雕塑，让无线性的元素在立体空间里自然流淌出无相之境。

CJ Zhang: Somewhere from Nowhere
The world prefers roses. Since the development of civilization, roses have been gave with symbolic significance in various periods and have strong consciousness guidance. From the era of the gods in ancient Greece to the Renaissance, the rose has been praised as the symbol of Aphrodite (goddess of love), and has also been shown its rich humanistic significance by scholars, artists and philosophers.
CJ Zhang’s new solo exhibition “Somewhere from Nowhere", takes the "CJ Rose" series as the core. Through the clear and traceable contact creation, the artist weaves a complex multi-phase scene from far, but a strange space indexed by the non-phase rose when getting close. The artist deconstructs and reconstructs the deified and materialized rose from a metaphysical point of view, making it more contemporary and thus arousing the resonance of contemporary people.

Acrylic on canvas
150cm*120cm
Tracing CJ Zhang’s artistic career and his previous works, His brushwork and artistic thoughts are sharp and active, he constantly witnesses and inherits the spirit of the flower. The contact point in the painting is infinitely extended and evolved until it can reach the forefront of this era. Then go deep into the boundless fantasy land in the art world to explore the intersection of the diversity of forms and the unknown.
The irrational lines and strokes in the artist's paintings dispel the boundary between nature and non-nature, and overlap them into a state of being or not being. In the context of loss, exploration, growth, immersion and rebirth, subvert the imagination and consolation that represent love and beauty, overturn the solidified impression in people's subconscious. The rose, which has lost its labels and separated from the traditional framework, has abandoned the appearance of the object, and will open up the inner circle of infinite, enter the realm of speechless true self, and go straight to the essence of nature.
Rose is the exuberant expression of life and desire, like the flowing water of life, invisible and endless. CJ Zhang created a new context for this exhibition. It represents the artist's creative technique: from point to line, line to surface; Then form symbols and contacts, then imagine an opposite world and a parallel universe by observing everything. Explore the unexamined area between human dominance and recessiveness. With a new starting point, open a new opportunity.

Under the seemingly extremely complex shell, CJ Zhang's works reflect the essence of our current era: when there is enough information, any two points can and must be connected. The artist reconstructs and extends his collection and insight into the things around him in a non-linear form into his works. With the infinitely extended picture structure and utopian imagination, it has a spiritual resonance with people living in the network era.
At the same time, CJ Zhang's sculpture series "Living Endless" was exhibited in the show, which is also a new breakthrough for the artist in his own CJ creation language. Sculptures with non-physical language allow non-linear elements to flow out of the non-physical realm in the three-dimensional space.
