Foreword 前言

Keith Hall, such a talented artist and quite a traditional Londoner. He mailed me a nicely signed copy of THE WHO Agreement in an efficient way. Before having met him, I was deeply impressed by the unique style of his work Landscape with Incoherence, which took me to many dream places. After having met him, I immediately had a crush on his incredible humor and wit. And when talking to him in person, I felt that the process of his creating arts is as important as his artworks. Although struggling with light-sensitivity and dyslexia, Keith would usually condense his inner thoughts and write down his feelings while letting his painting dry for two or three hours. He often creates multiple paintings at the same time. His style-building constantly changes or innovates with half experiment half knowledge. However, he always likes highlighting a raised textured surface that is stressed yet unwavering - a hope in desolation, a birth from seclusion. And unintentionally he paints with the flows of his subconsciousness and without the limit of any frames, just like Edward's face was visible in the painting after a few months had passed.

Edward's face was visible in the painting after a few months had passed | 爱德华的脸几个月后神奇出现

基思·霍尔，才华横溢的艺术家和相当传统的伦敦人。他很迅速给我邮寄签好名的“谁”系列协约。遇见他之前，我已被他的作品“风景与内在”的独特风格所深深吸引，那幅画带我遨游许多梦想的地方。遇见他之后，我立刻爱上了他的幽默和风趣。当私下和他面对面交流时，我愈发觉得他的创作过程和他的艺术作品一样重要。虽然基思挣扎于对光敏感和阅读障碍，但他通常在画晾干的那两三个小时会浓缩自己的内心独白，写下自己的感受。他经常同时创作多幅画。他的风格建树在半实验半知识的创作中不断变化创新。然而，他总是喜欢突出一个隆起的纹理表面，醒目而坚定。好比如，荒凉中的希望，隐秘中的重生。他绘画时完全无拘无束，挥洒自如，用的是无意间畅流的潜意识，画由心生，身临其境，那一刻他好像什么都“看不见”，后来“看见”了连自己都觉得不可思议，正如他的那幅画：“爱德华的脸几个月后神奇出现”。

Later he moved to South Korea for five years and returned to London for eighteen months. He then spent a year in Beijing only to find his way to Shanghai. He has now lived in this Magic City for four years. As a visual artist who draws from his life, he likes painting a new collection each year. He has work published in Vienna’s ARTBEAT magazine as well as featured work on Britart.com and Saatchi & Saatchi. He was invited by Elevate in January 2020 to give an artist talk and this May, had an exhibition Piercing The Veil at Shanghai Sino Art Space with Maxime Drouet.

基思·霍尔：2004年，毕业于伦敦戈德史密斯大学。之后移居韩国五年，再回到伦敦十八个月。接着在北京呆了一年，便搬到了上海，一住就是四年。作为一名从生活、环境和思想中汲取灵感的视觉艺术家，他喜欢每年都画一个新的系列作品。他的画作有被维也纳的ARTBEAT杂志出版，Britart.com和Saatchi & Saatchi线上展出。其中《不变的流浪者》于去年11月被上海文评杂志发表。今年1月，他受邀阿黎微忑举办的艺术家座谈。今年5月，他与马克西姆·杜洛埃在上海华人美术馆成功举办了一个“揭开面纱”的双人展。目前，他俩正在努力筹备明年的春展。

Keith's work is based on the philosophy of Yin and Yang - the duality of life and the attraction of opposites. For him, drawing is thinking and painting is feeling. Greatly influenced by the Buddhist culture, some of his paintings bring a real sense of calm - layer upon layer of chaos with tonal depth draw you into the imaginative void of intricate landscape or cityscape. He expresses his reflective feelings and thoughts of the present with the complexity of woven gossamer threads, brushstrokes, textures and colours. His work contains great strength of bold lines, almost barbaric. Translucent fey wisps or tendrils of paint gleam with specs of gold and silver leaves. Bleeding acrylic and latex-washed areas create uncompromising and cruel space with shards of brilliant colour that enliven the atmospheric calm. Moth eaten flakes peeled away, reveal a volcanic tirade from dark cold blue to virulent molten oranges; they burn the eye if you stare too long. This may turn you acutely into unease and fear, allowing you to walk away feeling unsettled and thought-provoked. Keith says, "Every painting is individual and unique. Every painting is a part of me.“

基思的作品源于阴阳哲学——生活和世界的二元对立性。就他而言，绘图是思考，绘画是感觉。深受佛教文化的影响，他的一些作品画面很平静，看似层层的混乱却有调性，把人吸引入错综有致的自然景观或城市景观的多维想象空间。他用编织的蜡线、笔触、纹理和颜色的复杂性来表达他当下的深思和感受。他的画不乏野蛮粗大的线条。半透明的怪缕丝或卷须的涂料闪耀着金叶银叶。丙烯散开和乳胶流过的地方有点冷艳而不妥协。灿烂的颜色碎片再次点燃平静，使画面不失活力。飞蛾啃噬过的小薄片自然剥落，显露了火山似的咆哮。从寒冷黑暗的幽蓝到致命熔融的橙黄，如果盯久了，会灼伤你的眼睛。这可能会使你感到不安或恐惧而离开，但离开后却仍浮想联翩。基思说：“每幅画都是独特的个体。每幅画都是我的一部分。”

Some of Keith's Collectors' Reviews | 部分收藏家艺评

These paintings can be understood as purely abstract compositions, showing great understanding of proportion, conceptual textiles as abstract art.Lord Harry Cardross – architectural glass designer / London, England

We were introduced to Keith via the Saatchi & Saatchi website, who took time to allow our wishes to develop and enable him to come to a stunning interpretation, realised on two excessively large canvasses. They are unique to Keith’s style and us alike, ...a daily pleasure in our home.Simon French / East Sussex, England

The painting that I have of Keith’s work has been in my possession since 2003. It has made my home a focal point, while enhancing my electric style of furnishings. Whenever I pause to re-familarise myself with it’s nitric expression, something new and unobserved always reveals itself to me.Charlotte Catherine Burdett / England I find Keith’s work becomes textural upon his brush. Creating landscapes, valleys upon hills, and scraps of colour, their own story often hidden till viewed from a different angle. Rouched ribbons of colour wend their way blindly from edge to edge, and stop abruptly, and I walk away wondering.Mr Timothy St John Bilbie / Melbourne, Australia Keith... uses a variety of techniques to get his desired results and is not afraid to experiment. I own a few of his pieces of which have a similar theme; black, red, gold leaf and bold lines. The use of the gold leaf gives the paintings a vibrant and splendid feel which I love. I find them warm and inviting. Saying this, Keith is far from one dimensional and has many sides to his art. I look forward to seeing how his experiences have influenced his style.Jessica Duncan / New York, USA

这些绘画可以理解为纯粹的抽象构图，表现出基思对比例和纺织概念的理解颇深。——哈里·卡德罗斯勋爵-玻璃建筑设计师/英国伦敦
Keith是Saatchi&Saatchi网站推荐给我们认识的，很难得让这位年轻艺术家对我们看上他的两幅大作进行一番精彩解读。它们是基思独特风格和我们志趣相投的写照。每天在家里可以欣赏他的画，是一种快乐。——西蒙法国/东苏塞克斯，英国
2003年起，我就开始收藏基思的作品。他的画使我家成为朋友聚集地，也让家里的电动家具风格富有“人性”。每当我停下来重新认识自己，一些新的和未被观察到的东西总是会向我扑面而来。——夏洛特·凯瑟琳·伯德特/英国
基思的作品从笔触到纹理，创造山谷风景和斑驳色彩，若隐若现，直到从不同的角度看才发现它的深层故事。纷乱彩带从一个边缘到另一个边缘盲目地飘着，戛然而止，人离开后却思绪万千。——蒂莫西·圣约翰·比尔比先生/澳大利亚墨尔本
基思不怕实验，采用各种技巧达到他想要的艺术效果。我拥有他的一些作品，其中不乏相似的主色调；黑色，红色，金色的叶子和大胆的线条。金叶的使用让整幅画充满活力，给人一种温暖而诱人的感觉，我喜欢。基思多维度创作的作品有许多层面。我期待看到他的人生经历如何影响他的艺术风格。——杰西卡·邓肯/美国纽约
