黎明初露,微光蕴含无尽深邃。拂晓之际,触点在虚与实之间相互交织,呈现出神秘而崇高的形态,在纯粹的领域中展露。微光的存在远不仅仅是物质上的显露,更承载着人对于意义的探索。本次展览由温煜晖策划,邀请了五位艺术家:刘洋、李捷、林清、马焘、赵博,以多样的观察角度和创作方式阐释了绘画作品的美学和社会意义,以及用独特而深邃的方式展示了意义的存在和塑造的力量。

意义是人对自然或社会事物的认识,是人类以符号形式传递和交流的精神内容。人类在传播活动中交流的一切精神内容,包括意向、意思、意图、认识、知识、价值、观念等等,都在意义的范畴之中。意义这个概念之于艺术家,是艺术家表达和传递自己思想感情的媒介,当艺术家触碰绘画的时候,他们所绽放的灵感与精神,将会以独特的方式在展览中呈现。本次展览的艺术家们以两种角度来呈现他们对于意义的理解,艺术家林清、马焘以及刘洋通过对形式美的追求,重新解读绘画中的美学价值。他们运用色彩、线条、比例和构图等视觉元素,创造了一种与现实世界不同的逻辑体系,这种非合理逻辑的存在让观众被引导去思考常规和惯例的认知与观念,并重新审视对现有事物的看法。艺术家赵博、李捷则运用独特的视角、概念和表达方式,以社会问题和内心追求为题。通过符号和象征,传达对社会现象、人类关系等问题的关注和反思。

被创造出来的艺术作品被赋予了探索和交流意义的重要使命,它们不仅仅是艺术家对于世界与自我理解的表达,更是观众与艺术家共同探讨意义的起点。不同背景、文化、心理状态的观者在各自的理解下会为作品赋予不同的意义,当他们将个人感受和观点投射到作品中时,特定的解读和价值批判便产生了。通过艺术家和观者的相互作用,绘画作品的意义得以丰富和延伸,这是一场追寻意义的探索之旅,也是一次触动灵魂的视觉盛宴。

At the first gleam of the dawn, endless depths are contained in the shimmering light. At this time, when the contacts intertwine between the imaginary and the real, a form of mystery and sublimity emerges, revealed in the realm of the pure. The existence of shimmering light is far more than just a material manifestation, but also carries one's exploration of meaning. Curated by Wen Yuhui, this exhibition invites five artists: Liu Yang, Li Jie, Lin Qing, Ma Tao, and Zhao Bo. They illustrate the aesthetic and social significance of painting with diverse perspectives and creative approaches, as well as demonstrate the existence of meaning and the power of shaping in a unique and profound way.
Meaning is human's cognition of natural or social matter, while it is the spiritual content that human beings transmit and communicate in the form of symbols. All spiritual contents exchanged by people in communication activities, including intention, meaning, purpose, cognition, knowledge, value, concept, and so on, are in the category of significance. The concept of meaning for artists is the medium through which artists express and transmit their thoughts and feelings. When artists begin to paint, the inspiration and spirit they generate will be presented in the exhibition uniquely. The artists in this exhibition present their understanding of meaning from two perspectives. Artists Lin Qing, Ma Tao, and Liu Yang reinterpret the aesthetic values in painting through the pursuit of formal beauty. They use visual elements such as color, lines, proportions, and composition to create a logic system that is different from that of the real world. The existence of this irrational logic guides viewers to think about regular and conventional cognition and perception and to reexamine their views on existing things. Zhao Bo and Li Jie, on the other hand, utilize unique perspectives, concepts, and expressions to address social issues and inner pursuits. Concerns and reflections on social phenomena and human relationships are conveyed through signs and symbols.

Artworks are given the important mission of exploring and communicating meanings. They are not only the expression of artists' understanding of the world and themselves but also the beginning of the exploration of significance between the viewers and the artists. Viewers with different backgrounds, cultures, and psychological states will assign different significance to the artworks under their comprehension. Specific interpretations and critiques are created as they project their personal feelings and opinions onto the artworks. Through the interaction between the artist and the viewer, the meaning of the paintings can be enriched and extended, which is a journey of exploring meanings and a visual feast that touches the soul.
