“ 時代最自卑時 大家人海無名裡 心熱過 被照相過 今天最想起 哪一句 ” ——腰乐队《情归何处》
BANK 荣幸呈现艺术家白乂乂个展《游离的彗星》,艺术家通过一系列抽象绘画来表达无法抵达的故乡。凡“我”住过的地方皆是故乡,“故乡何处”背后代表的现代性的失序——人口的流动、变迁以及多样的不安和不确定感。同时作为与互联网成长的一代,艺术家在高度碎片化、愈发真实和玄幻的虚拟世界拼凑真实,艺术家试图在展览中提问我们到底从何处来,坐标何处,我们又从属于哪个世界呢?
艺术家出生成长于业已消失的北方厂区,如游子寻找属于他的根,这些根来源于童年的记忆、人群、友人的聚集和浩瀚无垠的互联网世界。他通过无线性叙事的互联网世界的坐标来参照此刻,通过绘画理解“我”与外部现实世界的关系,“我”与庞大图像与信息所组成的屏幕的世界的关系。

在白乂乂的绘画中,具体的人群轮廓消失了,身份、社会符号变得暧昧不清,如社交网络世界中不断复制传播的图像,原始图像在传播过程中变得模糊不清,信息逐渐消融,直至消弭。艺术家试图用工业化美学的传播方式来建立自身绘画创作的逻辑,他启发于里希特的照片绘画,通过虚化画面中的轮廓,试图破坏图像的物理边界,虚化的画面也如影像画面般,试图去营造一种开放式的故事线索。
在展览作品中,或隐或现的皮肤和衣物变成一条条神秘的线索,艺术家将具象的视觉记忆不断堆叠视画面,用点彩技法贴合电子屏幕成像的视觉语言,如笔刷点彩模仿广告胶印色点、视频雪花、和放大的特色镜头等。在堆叠的画面中虚构并幻想出故事与情景,形成叙事,画面如时尚大片、广告图像般具有高速的流动性和感官性。艺术家通过这次展览,试图在这无根的现实和网络世界中寻找一种“元叙述”。
如艺术家所言,“这个世界就像图像爆炸所建立构成的沙漠”,他遥望大地,寻找铆点,通过互联网视觉景观谱系来制作并校正记忆中的真实,而我们何尝不是每一段记忆都会被随时会被变换大小、形态的世界吞噬?唯有若有若无的皮肤是真实存在的证据。

关于艺术家 About the Artist
白乂乂
Bai Yiyi
白乂乂,1992 年出生于山西大同,现生活工作于上海。他刚结束于巴黎 PACT 画廊的个展,作品被 PCP Collection、Nixon Collection、GECO 基金会、北京时代美术馆等各大私人机构及美术馆收藏。 白乂乂创作反映了工业化传播、影像空间技法对图像信息的皱缩、情愫与叙事。他的绘画来自于工业化的传播美学,反射着其对人群的身份与世界的关系的思考。画面中, 颜色系统来自于电子屏幕、随处可见的胶片质感、用笔刷点彩技法模仿的广告胶印色点、类似视频中的雪花、还有放大的特写镜头、虚化的模糊效果等,艺术家通过寻找一种东方式线条韵律使这些特写来回穿插,并制造开放式的故事线索。 白乂乂的绘画作品更像是一个快速的电影情节。这来自于社交网络的视觉快感,关注并放大某个镜头中的特写,使整个场景与空间在视觉上产生收缩。这种观看方式就像你在打量一个人,却只关注他身上某个特别的饰品一样。当视觉数据的排列达到一定密度之后,这些不断堆叠的镜头得以消解,从而得到一个更感性的情愫与叙事。身为大数据与社交网络影响下的新人类的一员,白乂乂通过持续的混合与视觉上的加速, 将自身作为一个载体,输出对新人类群体的“神性”所进行的融合式写生。Bai Yiyi was born in Datong, Shanxi in 1992 and now lives and works in Shanghai. He recently had his first solo exhibition at Galerie PACT in Paris. His works have been collected by PCP Collection, Nixon Collection, GECO Foundation, Beijing Times Art Museum, and other major private collections and institutions. Bai's works reflect the industrialized communication, the crumpling of image information by spatial techniques of video, sentiment and narrative. His paintings come from the aesthetics of industrialized communication, reflecting his thoughts on the relationship between the identity of the crowd and the world. In the images, the color system comes from the digital screen, the texture of film is everywhere, the color dots of the advertisement offset printing imitated by the brush pointillism technique, the snowflakes similar to those in the video, as well as the zoomed-in close-ups, the blurring effect of bokeh, and so on. The artist intersperses these close-ups back and forth and creates the open-ended story clues by searching for the rhythms of an Eastern style line. Bai's paintings are more like the plot of a fast-moving movie. This is inspried by the visual pleasure of social networking, focusing on and zooming in on the close-ups in a particular shot, causing the whole scene and space to visually contract. This way of viewing is like when you are sizing up a person but focusing only on a particular accessory on their body. When the arrangement of visual data reaches a certain density, these constantly stacked shots are dissolved, resulting in a more emotional sentiment and narrative. As a member of the New Age humanity under the influence of big data and social networks, Bai mows down his own fusion sketch of the "divinity" of the new age humanity through continuous integration and visual acceleration, using himself as a purveyor.↙︎Click the "Read More" for more info
