来金娜：阿兰若

Lai Jinna: Aranya 

2022.3.19, 4pm. – 2022.5.15

墨方荣幸地宣布，我们将于2022年3月19日举办艺术家来金娜的最新展览《阿兰若》，展出艺术家已持续超过十年的纸上铅笔和圆珠笔系列作品。展览将持续到2022年5月15日。

“一只昆虫和宇宙一样复杂而又精彩。”

——来金娜

在十余年时间里，来金娜远离城市的喧嚣，清净地居住和工作在京北密云的山谷中。这个山谷，距离北京市中心大约80公里。来金娜和家人的生活状态，近乎与世隔绝，山庄里饲养着兔羊禽类，土地里种植着供应四季的果蔬，粮食和花生、玉米、地瓜等各类作物，大多数的日常生活物产，基本能够做到自给自足。

来金娜的创作，是她的生存体验和生活方式的产物。她平静节制又耐心细致地用铅笔和圆珠笔不厌其烦地描绘山谷里的昆虫、家畜、水果、蔬菜……这些具体的物象，不急不躁，经由画家笔下绵密整洁的线条，入微而抽象的形式显现，成为每日规律的功课，心性的锻炼。

山中的时日，更契合自然的节律，展览借名“阿兰若”，原意是清净的山林之地。

Mocube is honoured to present Lai Jinna’s latest exhibition ‘Aranya’, on the 19th of March, 2022. Showcasing the artist's drawings that utilise both pencil and ballpoint pen, spanning over ten years in her extensive practice. This exhibition will run until May 15, 2022.

"An insect is as complex and wonderful as the universe."

 – Lai Jinna

For more than ten years, Lai has lived and worked in a valley of Miyun district, staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The valley is about 80 kilometers away from the center of Beijing. Lai and her family are almost in a world of their own. Raising rabbits, sheep and poultry, planting fruits, vegetables, grain and various crops， such as peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes. They are self-sufficient in most everyday supplies.

Lai’s works are the product of her mode of existence. She depicts insects, livestock, fruits, and vegetables that exist in the valley using pencils and ballpoint pens. These particular objects are presented in a subtle and abstract way through Lai’s meticulous use of lines. It has become her daily task and practice for self-cultivation.

Life in the village is in line with the order of nature. The exhibition borrows the name ‘Aranya’, which originally meant wild forests.
