On January 14th, the "Space 7 - Academic Nomination Exhibition of Young Artists of the Guangdong Museum of Art , The 23rd: The Veil of the Muse - Ye Fan, Wang Ziling and Mo Zhi" hosted by the Guangdong Museum of Art, with Wang Shaoqiang as the chief curator and Xia Kejun as the curator, opened at the Guangdong Museum of Art.
The "Seventh Space - Guangdong Museum of Art Young Artists Academic Nomination Exhibition" The 23rd "Muse's Veil - Ye Fan, Wang Ziling, Mo Zhi Works Exhibition" will usher in the work scene of three young female artists from innovative comprehensive materials, traditional ink painting, hardened acrylic and electronic devices and other media.
In recent years, the rising group of female artists has gradually clarified their value orientation and actively engaged in artistic practice and cultural and artistic undertakings. From the perspective of art history, women have long been involved in creative activities, but limited by traditional concepts and social division of labor, they cannot leave their names in history like most well-known male artists, and many female painters, sculptors, and architects have been quietly working hard and insisting on their love and pursuit of art. Until modern and even contemporary times, people's concepts and understandings have gradually changed, and female artists have begun to receive different attention and research in the eyes of their peers and the public.
The three young female artists nominated this time, Ye Fan, Wang Ziling and Mo Zhi, all have rich experience in studying, living and participating in contemporary art at home and abroad, and they have a dialogue with tradition in artistic creation through contemporary experiments of creation and innovation, understanding the changing and developing world from a young perspective, and constantly exploring the unknown.
Ye Fan's works use a flat painting language, countless delicate "ink lines" superimposed and stacked, the subtle treatment of the spatial wrinkle layer and the "light" presented by the blank space, each square composed of lines cut and combined has its own narrative content, constructing a multi-dimensional spatial structure, and also constructing its inner mysterious and flowing urban voice. Wang Ziling, a graduate of the Department of Pure Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in the United Kingdom, created a hardened acrylic material that broke away from the back plate, trying to create a spatial form that suspends the paint in the frame without a canvas, and restructures the spatial form of the painting through the mutual pulling and draping of the paint, strengthening the virtual space part of the visual experience, and exploring the possibility between the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image. Mo Zhi's creative inspiration comes from a moment in life, and her "magical" artistic creation form is her absorption and innovation of classics and traditions. By constantly experimenting with various new materials and the collision between them, she tries to capture the inspiration under the impact of the electronic information age, enhance the dimension of matter and time, and make the picture present different levels of texture.
Wang Shaoqiang, director of the Guangdong Museum of Art, said that he hopes to adhere to the in-depth support for outstanding young artists through a more open and academic exhibition mechanism, tap the emerging power of art in China, and build a new measure to display talents and record history, while providing audiences with a variety of channels to appreciate and interpret the creative practice of young artists and their contemporary vision.
The exhibition will be on view until February 20.
