(2010年7月10日)经过精心筹备,由国际著名策展人巫鸿策划的《盛夏:曾浩画展》即将于9月11日-10月31日在天安时间当代艺术中心肃装亮相。展览将展出曾浩历经四年深入思考、潜心探索的全新转型之作,非常值得期待!它不仅预示着曾浩艺术探索中的一个新的阶段,更表达了在观念主义逐渐失去先锋性和思考力的当下,艺术家和天安时间对中国当代艺术“回归绘画”主题的提示性探讨。

曾浩,作为上个世纪90年代中期中国观念主义绘画运动的代表,与同时代的张晓刚、方力钧、王广义、岳敏君等一起,成为中国当代艺术史中最重要也最具影响力的艺术家,并一直活跃至今。其作品具有独特的内省气质和心理因素,特别是将日常生活中众多元素的平面化、无机性及失真式重组,呈现出一种人与人、人与环境之间的近距离“疏离”感,一方面指向个性化的存在状态,更重要的是表述了对虚拟化和异化的当代中国精神现实的隐喻性批判。在对雕塑、装置等立体空间进行了大胆尝试并取得不错的反响后,曾浩毅然重回绘画领域,新作中人物主体的放大、自然生命的出现、人与环境间“亲密”关系的隐显以及与传统意味的潜在关联,都是艺术家对当今社会文化的积极反馈,必将为观者带来新鲜的心理体验。

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"Summer: Zeng Hao Solo Exhibition" to Open at the Beijing Center for the Arts
(July 10, 2010) After careful preparation, "Summer: Zeng Hao Solo Exhibition", planned by the internationally renowned curator Wu Hung, will be held September 11 - October 31 at the Beijing Center for the Arts. This exhibition will feature Zeng Hao’s brand-new works throughout his four years of deep thinking and tireless exploration. You will not be disappointed. The show not only indicates a new phase in Zeng Hao’s artistic creation, but more importantly expresses the exploration of the Beijing Center for the Arts in the subject of the "return-to-painting" of Chinese contemporary art, regarding the situation of the weakening conceptualism at the moment.
Zeng Hao is representative of the Chinese conceptualist painting movement in the mid 90s and he has become one of the most important and influential artists in the modern Chinese contemporary art history together with other prestigious painters from that time including Zhang Xiaogang, Fang Lijun, Wang Guangyi, and Yue Minjun. He has always been an active painter. His works are characterized by unique introspective temperament and psychological factors. Particularly by restructuring the daily-life elements in a planar, inorganic and distorted way, he depicts the intimate “estrangement” among people and between people and the environment. On the one hand it points to the status of personal existence, and more importantly, it expresses a hidden criticism of the virtualized and alienated spiritual reality in the contemporary Chinese society. After his bold attempts and remarkable success in sculpture, installations and other three-dimensional art forms, Zeng Hao decided to come back to painting. The zoom-in on people, the appearance of natural life, the “intimacy” between people and the environment and the underlying connection with traditions that define Zeng Hao’s new works are all his positive feedbacks on today's society and culture, which will surely bring a fresh spiritual experience for the visitors.
Beijing Center for the Arts invites you to have a taste of Zeng Hao's “Summer”!
