人们借着自以为是的判断和经验生活着,每天都是如此,而且由于非常自我而从来不去考虑这其中是否有值得质疑的部分。而正是这种“自信“,使得世界运行的时候看起来仿佛有迹可循,实际上却是非常混沌,神秘,偶然的。正如一颗分子和另外一颗分子相互遇见,他们的相遇或许只是偶然的,不必要的碰撞。个体们借由“对自身身份的漠视”而使得社会运转。这不确切的“失衡感”和对这一现象的表达引出了本次展览的主题“不确定性”。
“不确定性”这一命题是一次对虚无主义的致敬,它不宣扬面对差异后颓废感,也不鼓励盲目的激情。
本次展览将借由两位艺术家群体的视角,展现东西方社会文化,在不同进程下的差异性。我们希望通过展览,展示艺术家对于社会环境的变迁所带来的思考,内在精神诉求与艺术表达。何为真实存在,是面对荒诞,不真切的环境的本能的一种迷思。在精神自洽的探索过程中,艺术家们将通过作品记录当下,展现其独立的视角,分享各自的关注点与思考所得。

Lee Prescott通过绘画和拼贴画,再现出一种封闭和混乱的氛围感受。画面中的的色彩对冲代表了社会上普遍存在的压迫性暗流。建筑结构元素则意味着一种孤立的,碎片化的个体精神写照。
这些拼贴画着眼于现代社会当中多元文化的对冲与混乱。成为消费者的我们,购买包装幸福指数的商品,增加了着我们精神上的不确定性。
朱文清的艺术呈现更像是一种直抒心意的精神表达。因为他认为,不确定性,更多是发自内心理和精神的层面的体验。在画面中,艺术家从骨架入手再到皮肉和肢体,利用层次间的关系去把人们心中,关于自我最真实的映射构建出来,并作为对于展览核心的回应与共鸣。

“Every leap of civilization, was built off the back of a disposable workforce.” — Niander Wallace
People live by self-righteous judgements and experiences day in and day out, and are too self-conscious to ever consider if they are worth questioning. It is this “confidence” that makes the world appears under control, while it is in reality vastly chaotic, strange, and fortuitous. Just as when one molecule meets another, their collision might be merely a needless coincidence. Individuals propel the world on through a "disregard of personal identity." This imprecise "sense of imbalance" and the expression of this phenomenon draw forth this exhibition's theme, "Uncertainty."

The theme “Uncertainty” is an homage to nihilism. It does not propagate the despondency in the face of difference, nor does it encourage blind passion. This exhibition will present the differences between Eastern and Western cultures in various processes through the perspectives of both artists. Through the exhibition, we hope to display the artists’ reflections, their inner spiritual demands, and artistic expression brought about by changes in social environment. The pondering over reality and existence is an instinct upon facing an absurd, illusive environment. In a exploration into spiritual coherence, artists record the present, exhibit their unique perspectives, and share their concerns and ruminations.
Lee Prescott creates a sense of confinement and chaos through paintings and collages. The color contrasts in the images represent the oppressive undercurrents pervasive in society. The structural elements imply an alienated and fragmented portrayal of individual spirit. These collages look at the clashes and confusions of multiculturalism in contemporary society, and that as consumers, we buy commodities packaged with a happiness index, increasing out mental uncertainty.
Jimmy Flower’s art is more of an honest spiritual profession of the heart, as he believes that uncertainty stems more from one’s inner psychological and emotional experiences. In the pictures, the artist begins with the skeleton and moves to the flesh, skin, and limbs, utilizing an in-out structural relationship to construct people’s most authentic reflections of the self, and by so responding to and resonating with the core of this exhibition.
