充满劳绩，然而诗意地，
人栖居在大地之上。
伯年艺术空间欣然宣布，将于2024年4月6日至5月6日期间推出艺术家刘艺超个展“日光”。本次展览由高雨萌担任策展人，集中呈现艺术家新近创作的十余幅绘画作品。
刘艺超笔下的世界是随着光与空气颤动的色彩机体，他不以切实的轮廓线条框定色彩，而是取景自然作为向导，赋予颜色以引导观感、传达情感与构建空间的优先权。通过对于色彩冷暖、亮度和纯度关系的反复调整与组合，他把因眼睛的游移不定而分散开的视觉重新统一起来，从而使得事物的存在于轻微摇曳的大气中浮现，而不至因边缘的消解而迷失在与空气和其他物体的关联中。通过提高暗部的明度，构图中的空间等级与焦点亦被瓦解，介以细腻的笔触，各局部中冷暖色均匀分布、渗透弥合，使视线得以在其间自由地流动。

“表象的颤动，是诸事物的摇篮。” 刘艺超的画作呈现出一种向流动、弥散开放的过渡状态。他抓住失焦观看下事物表象的模糊光感，将世界的直接性悬置，以触及其背后非物质性的存在意义。这一特性正指向的是刘艺超在画中所着意描绘的现代感性生活与其间诗性的栖居。或是日头刚起便步履匆匆的早晨，或是闲倚在草坪上的日光浴，或是日落霞光笼罩的海角，它们源于他日常知觉经验的碎片化、游离与波动，裹挟着时间之流与回忆的色与温，在情愫的微妙颤动中得以驻留。
日光，朗照每一个开放于世界的栖居者。当我们越是深入推敲，试图在色域与笔触间寻找历史经验的援引；越是留神观看，试图在模糊的身影与面孔中寻找宏大叙事的痕迹与熟识——就似乎越是在回顾自身，在恍惚间揭示那些一瞬的清晰又弥散在脑海中的故事。这或许正是艺术家寄托于创作中的一种诗性的发现，一种对于人的本有存在的发现。他正邀请我们从理性的诠释中释放开来，去感受无蔽的日光下世界的纯粹与美好。

Full of merit, yet poetically,
man dwells on this earth.
—— Friedrich Hölderlin, "In Lovely Blue"
BONIAN SPACE is delighted to announce the upcoming solo exhibition "Poetically, One Dwells" by artist Liu Yichao, which will take place from April 6th to May 6th, 2024. Curated by Gao Yumeng, the exhibition will present more than ten of the artist's latest works.In the world depicted by Liu Yichao, we witness an organism of colors that quivers with light and air, not confined by solid outlines but guided by the natural scenery, granting colors the priority to guide perception, convey emotions, and construct space. Through repeated adjustments and combinations of the warmth and coolness of colors, their brightness and purity, he reunites the visually scattered elements caused by the wandering of the eyes, thus allowing the existence of things to emerge in the slightly swaying atmosphere, without getting lost in the relationship with the air and other objects due to the dissolution of edges. By increasing the brightness of the darker areas, the spatial hierarchy and focus within the composition are also dissolved, and with delicate brushwork, the warm and cool colors are evenly distributed and merged throughout, allowing the gaze to flow freely.
"The trembling of appearances is the cradle of all things." Liu Yichao's paintings present a transitional state that is flowing, diffusing, and open. He captures the blurry luminescence of objects under a defocused gaze, suspending the directness of the world to touch upon the non-materialistic significance behind it. This is precisely the modern sensibility of life and its poetic dwelling that the artist aims to portray. Whether it's a hurried morning at sunrise, lounging on the lawn for a sunbath, or the sunset glow enveloping a cape, these fragments derived from his everyday perceptual experiences, fluctuating and detached, carry the flow of time and memories of colors and warmth, allowing emotions to linger in their subtle vibrations.Sunlight, brightly illuminating every dweller open to the world. The deeper we delve into analyzing, attempting to find references to historical experiences within the spectrum and brushstrokes; the more attentively we observe, trying to find traces of grand narratives and familiarity within the blurred figures and faces—the more it seems like we are revisiting ourselves, revealing in a daze those fleeting stories that diffuse in our minds. This perhaps is the poetic discovery entrusted by the artist in his creation, a discovery of the inherent existence of people. He invites us to break free from rational interpretation, to feel and experience the purity and beauty of the world.
