关于展览
About the Exhibition
Gallery Vacancy将于2019年9月14日至10月19日呈现艺术家沈翰于国内的首次个展“梦边体操”。沈翰看似随意涂抹的色块，在空白无垠的画布平面上，敲击出延续却不连贯的律动与节度。看似断裂的景观，没有预设的画面或是图像作为基础，彰显动势的笔触连结了点线之间的随机关系，相间的色域得以藉由轻逸的线条彼此调动而展开。视觉对于图像阅读的惯性与经验，在沈翰纠缠转折的透视关系中，被诱导，被干预，被闲置，徒劳于将眼前的景观收编成一帧静止的画面；意识对于图像的判断反复地确认后随即舍去，近似于蒙太奇般的叙事得以在意识与想象中毗连。相互交融的图像元素，包裹着不确定的叙事与造形，将内在的情绪外现，勾勒出某个时空下正在成形，亦或正在消散的事物。
沈翰将形态各异的肢体动作透过氤氲的色彩与叠加的透视关系，如体操般舒展雀跃于画面之上，将自身创作过程中身体的运动与节奏，在空间与色彩的视觉调动中保留了下来。《无岸之海》中影影绰绰的形体和流动性的色块互相渗透，不规则的黄色油彩不断蚕食朱红色块自有的区域范围，在留白的空间推动下，勾勒了画面中隐约浮现的身体形态，暗示了身体之下更为骚动的情绪与意念。大尺寸三联画取名自俄罗斯作曲家斯特拉文斯基的芭蕾舞剧《彼得鲁什卡》，这个充斥着暴力与情欲的故事在彼得鲁什卡，芭蕾舞女演员和摩尔人三个拥有生命的木偶之间展开。其中的音乐性与戏剧性在沈翰丰富的笔触和绚烂的油彩中浮现。艺术家试图传递的情绪与欲望在整体中消弭，在细节中回溯。沈翰笔下不明朗的形态，跳跃且细碎的线索，最终经由观者自身记忆与潜意识的渲染，完成图像的重绘。

Gallery Vacancy is pleased to present Intimate Morphology, Shen Han’s first solo exhibition in China, from September 14th to October 19th, 2019. Building upon the unprimed canvas, Shen Han’s seemingly random pigment patches construct a consistent yet incoherent rhythm and pitch, a fragmented landscape without concrete imagery as basis. With Shen’s powerful brushstrokes, his lithe yet graceful lines generate an aura of breathing melody, weaving the arbitrary relations between marks and forms, mobilizing through the cadenced colors zones. The tendency and experience of vision for image reading are tempted, intervened, and idled in the tangled perspective of Shen, thus, the exposed landscape is weaved into a frame of stillness; Consciousness is repeatedly confirmed and then discarded, connecting the montage-like narrative through sensibility and imagination. The intertwined visual elements wrapped in ambiguous narratives and configurations uncover the inner emotions, outlining a contradictory matter that can be perceived both as forming and as descending in the void of uncertainty.
Gleaming through the misty color patterns, the oscillating gestures in Shen’s latest paintings are reflected as gymnastically extended human forms, which are generated from the artist’s physical movements and rhythm during his creative process. The enigmatic forms in Ocean Without a Shore meld and infiltrate with the fluid color blocks. The irregular yellow oil paint constantly erodes the territory of the vermeil block, along with the tendency of the empty spaces, implying turbulent emotions and tension masked under the vaguely outlined body form. The large-scale triptych is named after the Russian composer Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka, a story of violence and lust unfolded between Petrushka, a ballerina and a Moor. The musicality and théâtralité are reflected in Shen Han's rich brushwork and magnificent color palette. Diffused as a whole but later recalled in details, the affections and fascinations of the artist render through equivocal clues of Shen’s imaginative brushwork, coinciding with the viewers’ own reminiscence and subconsciousness as the re-representation of personal imageries.

关于艺术家
About the Artist
沈翰1988年出生于浙江杭州，现生活工作于柏林。2017年取得柏林艺术大学自由艺术系硕士学位。他试图寻找绘画和身体的关系，凭借油彩构建的色块，多变的线条与隐匿的空间描绘促成潜意识与绘画语言的融合。借由对破碎空间的理解，在非具象与抽象之间不断探索，于混沌中架构画面的隐形秩序。过往个展包括：巴黎Galerie Paris-Beijing “The Trajectory of Dream”（2019），柏林Edmond Gallery “Open Up”（2018）。作品曾于上海Gallery Vacancy，上海J: Gallery，杜塞尔多夫Galerie Anette Müller，柏林Colonia Nova，巴塞尔Villa Renata，曼谷当代唐人艺术中心，及武汉美术馆展出。

Shen Han, born in Hangzhou in 1988 now lives and works in Berlin. He graduated from Berlin University of the Arts in 2017 with a Meisterklasse degree in Fine Arts. Shen attempts to find the relationship between painting and the body by constructing pigment patches, gestural lines and allusive spaces. Crumbling and dismantling within the presented picture, Shen’s interest in the manipulation of fragmented spaces and the nuance of figuration and abstraction builds the invisible order in chaos. Past exhibitions include: The Trajectory of Dream at Galerie Paris-Beijing (Paris, 2019), Open Up at Edmond Gallery (Berlin, 2018). Shen Han had exhibited at Gallery Vacancy (Shanghai), J: Gallery (Shanghai), Galerie Anette Müller (Düsseldorf), Colonia Nova (Berlin), Villa Renata (Basel), Tang Contemporary Art (Bangkok) and Wuhan Art Museum (Wuhan).
