On February 20, 2022, "One Thought 3,000 | Yu Qiping Chai Yi Ming Double Solo Exhibition" was exhibited in Dahu United Art Space. Painters Yu Qiping and Chai Yiming brought a dialogue on Chinese painting and ink painting.
Yu Qiping graduated from Nanjing Academy of the Arts in the early 1980s, majoring in Chinese painting. In 1984, two works created by Yu Qiping after graduation were both selected for the National Art Exhibition.
Yu Qiping Chang'an Ancient Road
"He's especially good at finding and discovering beauty." Curator Shi Jianbang said, "In winter in my hometown, he would pounce on the field to pick up a residual cotton and insert it into a stoneware vase. At the stall in Zhengzhou Bibo Garden, he bought a few old scales that did not look amazing, gave us one each, and said to use it as a paperweight. Take it home and put it on the desk, and sure enough, the ancient meaning is mottled. That kind of ability to turn decay into magic, he is the best at it. ”
Chai Yiming The better the sound of close hearing
Born in Harbin, Chai Yiming graduated from the Design Department of Shanghai Commercial College in 1987 and now lives and works in Shanghai. Over the years, he has devoted himself to expressing surreal pictures with the materials of Chinese painting, blending modern elements with ink style to become a family of his own.
Chai Yiming Spring is coming
In Shi Jianbang's eyes, Chai Yiming is a maverick "strange coffee". "This fetish and grocery fetish was born an artist, and I can't think of anything he could do but be a painter."
Chai Yiming Jiang Practice Hidden Light
Chai Yiming can turn everything at hand into a work of art. Cardboard boxes and torn clothes only reach his hands, he draws and plays on them, and after some "tossing" it becomes a work of art. Similarly, when a good friend feels that he can't paint a painting, when it reaches his hand, he can "save it" without thinking and clean it up. Not only that, but he often made his paintings bizarre and bizarre, leading people into a strange realm.
Yu Qiping's heart was on the clouds
Yu Qiping and Chai Yiming are very close to each other and are introduced as confidants. Everyone often plays together to enjoy the paintings and exchange ideas. Three or four years ago, Shi Jianbang planned a "Laughter and Forgetting" cooperation exhibition for them and Song Kexi at M50, and the three of them cooperated in pairs, you have me, I have you.
Nowadays, on the occasion of the New Year, Dahu Space has set up new ideas, especially holding two solo exhibitions of Yu Qiping and Chai Yiming, presenting the best compositions and masterpieces of the two painters, so as to break the stereotypes and expand the aesthetic vision of art audiences.
The exhibition is on view until March 13.
