展览呈现了罗然2020年的作品《空气边 no.1》。罗然的工作内容是关注当下视觉图景以及生成种种图景背后的逻辑。他把这种关注和探索理解为一场游戏，艺术家可以同时成为游戏的体验者和制作者，其中的趣味意在不断发现和制造隐秘且复杂的彩蛋。在类似于匀速直线运动的语境中，他将现在虚拟软件中对物的介入方式，以不同工具特性的轨迹， 转化成为绘画可以进行的工作逻辑，重新编辑不同维度之间的界限，尝试讨论一种在现实中悬空的节奏、 运动、关联、边界和秩序。

郑孟强作品《嵛山岛》在此次展览中展出。他的创作大多以他所经历和沉淀的情感作为依托和引线，从个人记忆和自我感知中搜寻创作灵感。他的作品试图探索绘画的诗意，尽管最初的立意可能源于真实生活片段或电影摄影图像，但他将瞬间性的灵感、情感克制下来，经过长时间的酝酿，对画面元素进行重组提炼，通过对形体的概括、色块的分割，形成了抽象几何的画面构成，创造出一个非现实的清晰的具象。同时在色彩的运用和选择上，也做了大量的概括和提炼，弱化了色彩的对比关系，近乎单色调的柔和色彩流露出更加朦胧的神秘感。这种内敛敏感的画面特质，让他的作品呈现出更多浪漫现实主义的意味。

KeYi Gallery’s representative artist Luo Ran and collaborating artist Zheng Mengqiang participate in the new exhibition "Girls' Collection 101" held by X Museum on May 8th. The exhibition takes pink as a clue and presents the collection of works in the newly restored historical buildings. The exhibition will end on August 6th, and the last week of observation is scheduled. Please don't miss it!
The exhibition presents Luo Ran's 2020 work "Air Side No.1". Luo Ran's work content is to focus on the current visual scene and the logic behind the generation of various scenes. He regards this kind of attention and exploration as a game, in which the artist can become both an experienced player and a producer of the game. The interest is to constantly discover and create secret and complex colored eggs. In the context similar to the uniform linear motion, he transformed the way in which things are intervened in the virtual software into the working logic that can be carried out in painting with different tool characteristics, re edited the boundaries between different dimensions, and tried to discuss a kind of rhythm, movement, association, boundary and order suspended in reality.
Zheng Mengqiang's work "Yushan Island" is on display in this exhibition. His works are mostly based on the emotion he has experienced and precipitated, searching for creative inspiration from personal memory and self-perception. His works try to explore the poetic meaning of painting. Although the original idea can be derived from real life fragments or cinematographic images, he restrains the instantaneous inspiration and emotion, and after a long time of deliberation, reconstructs and refines the elements of the picture. Through the summary of the form and the segmentation of the color blocks, he forms the picture composition of abstract geometry, creating an unrealistic and clear image. At the same time, a lot of generalizations and refinements have been made in the use and selection of colors, weakening the contrast relationship of colors, and the soft colors of almost single tone reveal a more hazy sense of mystery. This introverted and sensitive pictorial quality makes his works more romantic and realistic. Zheng Mengqiang attempts to reproduce the memory fragments that have disappeared in time but have settled in the depths of consciousness. Therefore, as the subject of the works, the characters are often fixed at a delicate moment, wandering between ambiguity and alienation, hiding the signs of intimacy and vulnerability. In the image space that is elevated by emotion, the soft and introspective power of human nature is described in a static and obscure manner.
