It is a kind of life poetics that is "ruined and exhausted", and it is the poetics of the tension of the will of life itself.

Aesthetics is a spiritual force
Artists are often known for their accurate depictions of the anxious side of human nature. Throughout the artistic career of each creator struggling on the spiritual line, people often look at the existence of their own lives and explore the artist's intentions with new feelings. Many artists have begun a round of passionate discussion and thinking "between beauty and the meaning of life".
The "third aesthetic" is precisely through the spiritual force to create a common feeling and common sense, so that people can position themselves in the public sphere under the influence of aesthetics, that is, to immerse this idea into the common world and produce new aesthetics.
Artist and his work 150X200cm oil on canvas 2007
The third aesthetic is manifested in the ethical turn of aesthetics, the religious turn of aesthetics, and the socioeconomic turn of aesthetics.
Two points need to be noted, one is that the "third aesthetics" cannot be understood as a return to the traditional sense of aesthetics, let alone as an appendage extension of contemporary art, "the third aesthetics" is a redefinition of aesthetics itself, is the ultimate pursuit of the artistic spirit; the second is that the "third aesthetics" does not externally impose ethical, political, economic, cultural, and religious views on aesthetics, but uses aesthetics as the starting point to reinterpret ethics, politics, economy, religion and culture, becoming a phenomenon of the public world. And it makes sense to the quality of life.
Through the arrangement of this exhibition and the presentation of her works, people can see the aesthetic themes of anxiety, life, death, nine-dimensional space and religion that Chen Yalian strives to pursue in her curations.
Chen Yalian, a well-known artist and curator, delivered a speech
According to Ms. Chen Yalian, the so-called "third culture" is simply another culture besides humanities and sciences, and the third culture is a culture that breaks the pure separation of humanities and sciences, and is an effort to communicate the two cultures in a new way. Advocates and practices of the "third culture" are a group of atypical scientists and thinkers, involved in a very wide range, interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary, with a special style of thinking, more inclusive, their research and writing is closer to the real world and the public, some scientists and thinkers representing this new culture are gradually replacing the status of traditional knowledgeists, through their own work and expository writing, to reveal to people the "meaning of life", "who we are", "what we are" These common sense level questions. They point the public to a new way of gaining insight into the world.

"Can Fly", Wang Yiqiong 296X210cm oil on canvas 2017
Wang Yiqiong's "Can Fly" is to form a borrowed image through the image of eagles, men, women, flowers and other pictures, which is the first factor in the language of his works, which is also the image that can be seen at the first glance of the picture. However, the connotation of Wang Yiqiong's picture is the emotion of people in this period of time - that kind of inexplicable excitement like playing chicken blood or stimulants, which is the feeling that he experiences the living conditions of people.

His vision keeps pace with the times, his vision goes hand in hand with trends, and his art goes beyond a specific era and a specific spiritual source. What he pursues is not only the ultimate art, but also the ultimate cognition and the deep and harmonious relationship with this cognition.

"Spiritual Dimension", Wang Lijun, oil on canvas, 2016, 100X80cm
When this material society develops into more and more diversified, the artist will try to use new forms of expression to cope. Wang Lijun's abstract painting is to use the collocation of dots, lines and colors to rationally clean up and coordinate the contradictions, chaos, complexity and other things in reality, which not only gives people the enjoyment of beauty, but also gives people endless imagination space.
For the exploration of the spiritual world, poetry is better, followed by novels; and the use of oil painting is more difficult. Wang Lijun dialed four or two thousand pounds and found a suitable way. Entering and leaving, he helped the viewer to open the worldly and spiritual passages, and carefully supported the lost lambs in the society to "extricate Egypt".
"Borrowing Questions" Zhou Weihua 2016 150X200cm oil on canvas

He didn't believe it easily or give up easily. In Zhou Weihua's latest "Borrowing Question" series, such thinking and expression are everywhere. Contemporary art should participate in life and shape life; it should care about reality, reveal the truth, and care about social issues. This is also in line with his long-standing demand for self- "independent will, free spirit."

"Tallinn", Xu Xuejie, Comprehensive Materials, 2017, 197X296cm
Facing the tower high in the distance, the gaze will become scorching, which is the moment when Xu Xuejie's paintings were first ignited.
For Xu Xuejie, painting seems to not only use pigments to shape, but to let the pigments obtain spiritual inner energy, the color spots and spots on the canvas seem to be the relics of the Buddha, the stupa itself is the embodiment of the Buddha's body in the world, and the painting is not also the condensation of the breath left in the world by the individual life energy?

When passion disappears, faith is nothing, and the "natural desire" influenced by the laws of reality becomes the only basis for people's existence at present, however, such existence is a temporary existence, a kind of existence of uncertainty of survival, but it is in this uncertain existence situation that art can establish its own coordinates.

But at the same time, it does not lose the basic things of oil painting, thus showing a different feeling.
The women in Wang Xiaojin's pen are described by beautiful words such as gentleness, tranquility, and gentleness, and it is not too much to say. It's not something you can just find a model like that. The specific femininity must be achieved through specific modeling means. Among them, modification is an extremely important means.

"Folding Mirror Landscape" Zhang Hongping 150X190cm 2016 oil on canvas
Zhang Hongping is passionate about traditional landscape painting subjects, but has long since departed from the traditional context. The complexity of contemporary society, especially the tension and depression of urban life, has long been far from Tao Yuanming's artistic conception of "leisurely seeing Nanshan". This makes Zhang Hongping's return to tradition only a fiction to the wall, rather than putting himself in his shoes. Therefore, the landscapes he writes are all fabricated landscapes, neither landscapes in the traditional spiritual sense nor real landscapes, but a pile of glass products that cast the schema of a certain landscape: although it is bright, it is fragile; although it is beautiful, it is cold, and it can neither send the heart nor protect the soul. This is precisely the pain and contradiction of Zhang Hongping, yearning for tradition, but unable to get close; escaping from reality, but there is no way back.
