艺术家：肖江 展期：2021年6月2日－6月20日 10:00-18:00 开幕：2021年6月2日，14:00-18:00 地点：上海铜仁路314弄联华公寓7号314室 Artist: Xiao Jiang Duration: June 2–June 20, 2021 Vernissage: June 2, 2021, 14:00-18:00 Venue: Lianhua Apartment, 7-314, 314 Tongren Road, Shanghai Vanguard画廊将于6月2日起于上海铜仁路联华公寓举办艺术家肖江个展“室内风景”，新展览是正在Vanguard画廊莫干山路空间展出的“开门见山”的平行展。“室内风景”挑选了肖江自2010年代以来多个绘画系列的作品，借由特定场域的空间特征与逻辑，为绘画重新赋予了观看的可能性与互文关系。展览循着艺术家的创作足迹，阶段性地回访了肖江绘画的观念与演变。 “室内风景”如同一出现实主义戏剧的后台，陈设与场景出人意料地铺陈开来或隐匿于角落。绘画中每一个被艺术家捕捉的对象都值得反复端详，一张沙发、一台电话、一方水池、一张书桌，这些平凡的物品似乎都足以承载关键的情节或者转折。然而，肖江的绘画不是叙事或冲突的现场，画面中的张力被稳定在如候场一般漫长的平静中。人物在其中穿过、消失，而当恰好停留在画面中时，他们卸下了任何姿态和表演的痕迹，如同没有意识到观看者的存在。 面对肖江的绘画，与其说是观看，不如说是与画面的主题同在。它们暗示着沉默的邀请，既不逢迎也不介怀，散发着相处的默契。无论潜入这些混合了现实与虚构的室内场景，还是从这里出发沿途相伴，肖江的绘画都为内向的寻访提供了可能。 “室内风景”的展览时间为每日上午10时至傍晚6时，展出至6月20日。 感谢陆寻先生与南京四方当代美术馆在场地方面提供的慷慨支持。 Vanguard Gallery is pleased to present “Xiao Jiang: An Inward Odyssey”, a parallel project to the artist’s ongoing exhibition “Mountains Aside” at the gallery space on Moganshan Road. Taking place at a private apartment space on Shanghai’s Tongren Road, “An Inward Odyssey”, opens on June 2, unpacks a selection of works from Xiao Jiang's multiple painting series since the 2010s, with new possibility and intertextuality to be contemplated in accordance to the site-specific display. Following Xiao Jiang’s artistic trajectory, the current exhibition periodically reviews his concept and evolutions in painting. Paintings in “An Inward Odyssey” collectively invoke a sense resembling the backstage of realistic theatre with unexpected encounters of sets of scenery laying out in the open or objects tucked away in corners. A sofa, a telephone, a basin, a desk…, every object is seemingly ordinary but possesses their distinct allure for constant scrutiny—objects that could be regarded as carriers of potential plots or activators of dramatic turns. However, Xiao Jiang’s works provide no stage for storytelling or staged conflicts, the tension is instead soothed into everlasting serenity akin to the moment waiting for the transaction between scenes. On most occasions, figures walk through the picture plane and vanish. When captured by the canvas, their formation is removed of any trace of posture or performance, as if the figures are unaware of the presence of a gazing eye. The experience of encountering Xiao Jiang’s painting is one where your presence is synchronised with the subject rather than looking at its depiction: your presence is neither actively greeted nor recked of, as a tacit understanding between the painting and the viewer being extended through the painter’s unvoiced invitation. Whether granting entrance to indoor scenes blended with the real and the fictitious, or showing the way to a journey out and beyond, Xiao Jiang’s painting ultimately endues an inward exploration. The exhibition will be on display from 10am to 6pm everyday through June 20. The venue of this exhibition is generously supported by Mr. Lu Xun and Sifang Art Museum. 关于艺术家 | About the artist 肖江 Xiao Jiang（b. 1977） 肖江的作品，总被一种浓烈的氛围感所包围，似是无声却有声，在沉默中传递着力量。其描绘的场景大多取材于电影和生活的片段。这些场景往往因人们的习以为常而被忽略，但在艺术家独特的视角之下，他们被截取和再组合。灵感虽来自于现实，但构建的是绝对的想象，让观众仿佛游走在虚实变换的错愕感中。 肖江1977 年出生于江西省井冈山市，2000–2003 年于中国美术学院油画系进修，现生活工作于上海。他的近期个人展览包括: “开门见山”，Vanguard 画廊，上海，中国（2021 年）；“寻常事”，狮语画廊，香港，中国（2020 年）；“近在眼前”，Vanguard 画廊，上海，中国（2018 年）；“此山中”，墨方空间，北京，中国（2017 年）。同时他也参加过以下群展：“步履不停: 1995-2019 年中国当代艺术的城市叙事”，上海多伦现代美术馆，上海，中国（2019 年）；“可善的陌生—UNArt 艺术中心首展”，UNArt 艺术中心，上海， 中国（2019 年）“ 炽热”，BIG SPACE x Chino gallery，上海，中国（2019 年）；“夏季群展—致青春”，站台中国当代艺术机构，北京，中国（2019 年）；“退相干”，香格纳M50，上海，中国（2017 年）。 At the first glance at Xiao Jiang’s works, one would be encompassed with the sharp atmosphere. Something is left unsaid by his works, expressing the power in silence. Xiao Jiang’s works have drawn materials from episodes of movies and real life which are so familiar to people that are easily ignored. Under the artist’s unique perspective, they are cut out and recombined. Xiao takes inspiration from reality but structures them into an absolute fantasy world, leading the audience to dislocated visionary feelings. Xiao Jiang was born in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi Province in 1977. He studied at China Academy of Art from 2000 to 2003. He now lives and works in Shanghai. His recent solo exhibitions include: “Mountains Aside”, Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai (2021); “In Common”, LEO Gallery, Hongkong, China (2020); “Right in Sight”, Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai (2018); “MOUNTAINS”, MOCUBE, Beijing (2017). He also attended the following group exhibitions: “A Turning Moment”, Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai, China (2019); “The Kind Stranger”, UNArt Center, Shanghai, China (2019); “Incandescence”, BIG SPACE x Chino gallery, Shanghai, China (2019); “Group Exhibition in Summer—To Youth”, Platform China Contemporary Art Institute, Beijing, China (2019); “Decoherence”, ShanghART M50, Shanghai, China (2017). （请上下滑动观看） 部分展出作品 Selected works 房间里有什么 What is in the Room 布面丙烯 acrylic on canvas 150×360 cm 2009 室内 Indoor 布面油画 oil on canvas 240×108 cm 2021 看 Look 布面油画 oil on canvas 40×30 cm 2021
