ART021 Shanghai

Luo Mingjun (*1963) is an internationally acclaimed Swiss artist, who explores the notions of identity and memory. Her art is an expression of her life experience, the interweaving of her Chinese origins and her new Swiss foundation.

The works of Yafeng Duan (*1973) emerge from the harmonious interweaving of art and nature, a connection that transcends mere observation of the surrounding environment. Yafeng’s abstract artworks are a fusion of vibrant forms and colours, juxtaposed with the pure white of the untouched canvas. The artist creates a space that invites free interpretations, a place open to the observer’s imagination.

Jin Shan (b.1977, Jiangsu Province, China) is an agent provocateur. Preferring wit and satire to aggression and conflict, his work uses humor and play to draw audiences into a confrontation with the social, cultural and political problems of the day. While specifically describing aspects of contemporary China, his investigation of human motivation extends beyond national boundaries to the seemingly insatiable desire for power programmed into humanity’s DNA.

如果说罗明君之前擅长于对回忆进行召唤。这一次的炭笔作品，是她对未来进行的召唤。这些尺幅巨大的纸上的炭笔作品，拥有一种简洁又浓烈的气息。在近乎黑色的底上，一朵玉兰花正在缓缓张开，它自成一个世界。画面不再与现实、与回忆有密切直接的关联，罗明君由一种对未来的想象来主导着画面。

段亚峰的作品源于艺术与自然的和谐交织，这种交织超越了对自然的单纯观察与复述。段亚峰的抽象绘画中形状与鲜活的色彩相互融合，在纯白的画布上形成了一种场域。这是一种没有初步草图的、自发形成的视觉构建。艺术家创造了一个允许自由诠释的空间，一个观者可以用想象力尽情探索的地方。

靳山出生于中国江苏，毕业于华东师范大学艺术系，目前在上海工作生活。 创作概念不离他對中国当代社会的关注，喜欢利用如激进讽刺文学般的方式，向观众诙谐地展现同周遭社会性、文化性以及政治性问题的对抗，旨在刻画当代中国。现状的同时，探究“人类动机”，是如何逾越了民族与地域的鸿沟、甚至蔓延至人类基因中隐藏的共性——无节制的权欲。
