展览预告 | 当我们谈论永恒时

国际知名艺术家安塞姆·雷尔在中国的首次大型美术馆个展“当我们谈论永恒时”正式登陆阿那亚艺术中心，此次展览展出包括艺术家标志性的锡箔纸混合媒介作品、布面绘画、陶瓷雕塑，以及迄今为止实施体量最为庞大的霓虹灯装置等共24件重要作品，向观众呈现艺术家近二十年艺术实践的多样面貌。感谢德意志联邦共和国驻华大使馆对展览提供的特别支持，由Sherry Lai（来梦馨）策划，展期为2020年9月27日至2021年1月10日。

安塞姆·雷尔⽣于1970年，是德国杰出的当代艺术家，因尺幅巨大且极富张力的抽象绘画、雕塑以及霓虹装置为人所熟知。在专注于绘画与雕塑创作之前，雷尔对设计与音乐领域同样充满好奇，特别是20世纪末刚刚兴起的朋克运动对他的创作产生了深远影响，带硬边荧光涂料的迷幻风格后成为其视觉语言的一部分。那些高辨识度的抽象画和雕塑，让⼈不禁联想起汉斯·阿尔普（Hans Arp）或亨利·摩尔（Henry Moore）的作品，即在⼀个开放的系统中确立新的有机形态，并总能给观众留下深刻的印象。雷尔在作品中经常使⽤抽象图案、合成颜料以及⾮常规材料，例如锡箔纸、干草堆、聚酯薄膜等；他同时会使用社会发展中产⽣的⼯业废料，例如⾦属材料——汽⻋零件、损坏的计算机零部件或玻璃等进⾏创作，丙烯染料以及汽⻋涂料也频频出现在他的作品中。

雷尔的诸多作品拥有一层⾼度反光的表面：通过使⽤鲜明夺⽬的⾊彩组合霓虹或闪动的LED灯光、施用多种不和谐的⾊彩制造冲突、多种材质诸如锡箔纸和闪光的⿊⾊砂纸并置，令画面如同争夺视线的摩登工业战场。在战后抽象艺术的浪潮中，安塞姆·雷尔不仅批判性地反映了当时流行的品味规范，并且批判性地反映了某种乌托邦理想，在作品中创造出当代游乐宫般的奇妙氛围。

The exhibition “After Forever” in the Aranya Art Center is internationally known as Anselm Reyle’s first solo museum exhibition in China. This major exhibition features 24 works including a selection of works on canvas and tinfoil, glazed ceramic sculptures, and large site-specific installation representative of Reyle’s work spanning the past 20 years. Special thanks to the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in China for their support. The exhibition, curated by Sherry Lai, will be held from September 27, 2020 to January 10, 2021.

Anselm Reyle, born in 1970, is one of Germanys leading contemporary artist. Shortly after graduating from the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenen Künste Karlsruhe in 1997, he moved to Berlin. He is acquainted for his large-scale, ultra-refined abstract paintings, sculptures and elaborate installations with neon elements, which emanate Pop Art. Reyle took an early interest in landscape design and music before finally settling on painting and sculpture. He was inspired by 1960s psychedelia and especially the Day-Glo hard edge agitprop look of graphic design in early punk movement. His works are made of striking memorability; he produces large scale abstract paintings and recognizable sculptures, which certainly resemble with the once of Hans Arp or Henry Moore, echoing the curvilinear organic shape with an open center. Reyle frequently make use of abstract shapes, artificial color and unconventional materials, such as silver foil, straw bails, mylar of shop windows; he involves useless residues from our civilization, such as metallic material, like car parts, shattered computer equipment or glass elements in his art works, and paints, amongst others, with acrylic pastes and car lacquers. He predominantly produces works with highly reflective surfaces, supported by vivid and flashy coloring, often resulting in literally glowing creations with neon lights or pulsating LED’s, sometimes framing his work in Plexiglas boxes. He employs rather jarring colors combinations and his stripes also bear wildly varied textures, including silver foil and glittering black sandpaper, that hardly conform to the Color Field style. Riffing on postwar abstraction, he pokes fun at formalist conceits, as in his meticulously executed vertical stripe paintings. Reyle critically reflects not only upon the prevailing codes of taste but also the, sometimes utopian, ideals of Modern abstraction, creating something like a fun house atmosphere.
