“日复升——小林敬生作品展”于2021年9月25日在亚洲艺术中心（上海）开幕。此次展览是日本艺术家小林敬生在上海举办的首次个展，也是继2019年“生逢其时——小林敬生&陈琦作品展”之后再次于中国举办的展览。小林敬生毕生都在钻研木口木刻，他完整地继承了木口木刻的技法传统，同时又具有强烈的当代观念和现代性的思考，在他的作品中，现实与非现实、写实与抽象、古典与现代被巧妙地融为一体。展览展出艺术家小林敬生自上世纪八十年代末至今的木口木刻作品二十余件，在木口木刻的世界中呈现小林敬生生命的横截面。

展览题为“日复升”是小林敬生对人类文明于当下社会现实所笼罩的阴霾及战胜困难，与自然和谐共处的愿景；是人类正在经历新冠疫情、自然灾害、种族主义的一次深刻思索；是潮起潮落，生态兴衰，对世间轮回、灵魂觉醒与精神解放的承载。诚如艺术家小林敬生所言：“在由世上无数的生灵交织成的庞大的生态系统中，人类只占其中的一小部分。那种认为人类是众生之首的想法，实为虚妄的傲慢。人类端赖挥汗劳作，才能换回自己的口粮。我专心雕刻木板，就如同耕作土地一般。这种一以贯之的劳作姿态，便是我奉献给现代社会的赠言。” 

作为日本木口木刻版画领域最具影响力的艺术家，小林敬生1944年生于日本岛根县，是日本版画协会理事长、多摩美术大学名誉教授，与中林忠良、野田哲也并称日本最具代表性的版画界实力巨匠。小林敬生的作品，从关注社会现实的波澜激荡，揭示生存环境的变异，逐渐将重心放在对未来的乐观设想的描绘，眼神由犀利转为慈祥，画面情态也由激越转为祥和，展现的是对地球众“生”和睦共栖的希冀。

本次展览特别呈现由小林敬生、酒井忠康、建畠晢合著的诗画集。其中日本现代文学家建畠晢的六首诗歌与小林敬生的六幅木口木刻作品互为表里、相得益彰，生动诠释人与自然和谐共生的思辨。

小林敬生擅用源自欧陆的木口木刻为技术和表现的手段，他的“木口木版”被誉为“手掌上的宝石”，其木刻细致到可以用放大镜来欣赏，在日本也只有他可以达到如此水平。自上世纪八十年代末以来，小林敬生创作的木口木刻如《苏醒时刻》、《星的时间》、《白色早晨》、《日复升》等系列作品，形式语言纯正，宁静而富于激情，具有丰富的人文精神。这些作品不是简单地呈现客体物象的外貌，而是将它们转化为心中理想之境。

小林敬生在木口木刻艺术创作上特立独行，作品散发出奇异光彩，祥和超凡，富有恬静感。正是由于他对艺术创造原理的深刻思考和领悟，以及敏感于当今社会生存环境的变异，在小林的作品中更多的是对生命的敬意。小林曾经说过：“活着本身就是对生命最大的赞歌。”他的版画交错着海底、林间和城市，各种动植物充斥其间，堪称奇幻大观。可以说他的作品是对木口木刻、东方精神的一种丰沛的时代诠释。

Asia Art Center is honored to announce that “Sunrises Again - Artworks by Keisei Kobayashi” is open from September 25 until November 7, 2021. This is the first solo exhibition for Japanese artist Keisei Kobayashi in Shanghai, also the second exhibition of the artist held in China by Asia Art Center, following “Right Place Right Time - Artworks by Keisei Kobayashi & Chen Qi” (Beijing) in 2019. Keisei Kobayashi has devoted his lifetime perfecting his wood engraving craftsmanship. He fully inherited the technical traditions of wood engraving meanwhile manifesting his contemporary and modern mindset. In his artworks, reality and unreality, realism and abstraction, classic and modern are skillfully integrated. The exhibition will display more than twenty wood engraving artworks by Keisei Kobayashi from the late 1980s to present, presenting the cross section of Kobayashi's life in the world of wood engraving.

The exhibition entitled "Sunrises Again" features artist Keisei Kobayashi's vision of how human civilization can overcome difficulties and live in harmony with nature in the haze of current social reality, also as a profound reflection of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and racism. It is a bearing of ecological rise and fall, soul awakening and spiritual liberation. As the artist Keisei Kobayashi has said: “Human beings make up only a small portion of the vast ecosystem composed by countless creatures, and the idea of humans being the head of all living beings shows the arrogance deep in us, which is our illusion. We live on grain which we can get only by our toil and sweat left onthe farm, that is why I’ve been working on wood engraving with all my attention just as people farm the land at the beginning. With the consistent work and humble attitude that I can give the modern society a gift of dedication.”

This exhibition will also feature a collection of poems and paintings co-authored by Keisei Kobayashi, Sakai Tadayasu, and Tatehata Akira. Those six poems composed by Japanese modern writer Tatehata Akira and other six wood engraving artworks by Keisei Kobayashi complement each other, vividly interpreting the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature.

As the most influential artist in the field of wood engraving in Japan, Keisei Kobayashi was born in Shimane Prefecture, Japan in 1944. He is the chairman of the Japan Printmaking Association and an honorary professor at Tama Art University. Together with Nakabayashi Tadayoshi and Tetsuya Noda, he is also known as one of the most representative masters in the printmaking industry in Japan. From concerns in the vicissitudes of social reality to exposing the shifts in our surrounding environment, Kobayashi’s work has been gradually leaning toward optimistic depictions of the future; his incisiveness has softened, and hisonce aggressive imageries have embraced a gentle touch in an effort to convey his wishes for all “beings”(sheng) to live in harmony.

Keisei Kobayashi is good at using wood engraving originated from Europe as the technique and means of expression. His wood engraving is acclaimed as the "gem on the palm", which is so fine and sophisticated that can be appreciated with a magnifying glass. Only he can achieve such a level in Japan. Since the late 1980s, Keisei Kobayashi’s wood engraving, such as Transferred Soul, Illusional Planet, At the Dawn, Sunrises Again and other series, is pure in form and language, tranquil while full of passion, and has a rich humanistic spirit. These works do not simply present the appearance of objects, but transform them into ideals in the mind.

Artworks of Kobayashi display unique characteristics in wood engraving. His works seem to be peaceful and detached, full of tranquility. His profound thinking and comprehension of principles of artistic creation and his sensitivity to the variation of current living environment make Kobayashi convey more of a respect for life. Therefore, the main subject matter in his prints include seabed, forest, city, as well as all kinds of animals and plants, which can be called a fantasy. To some extent, his artworks convey a rich interpretation of wood engraving and Eastern spirit.
