展出 Exhibition (2010.11.27 - 12.19)

寻找乐章 帕友国 绘画展
In search of a composition Paintings by Yorgos Papageorgiou

 
 

搞艺术画廊荣幸推出“寻找乐章”-希腊艺术家帕友国
画作品展。过去五年他都在中国生活和创作,作品曾在
北京今日美术馆、北京Yishu8画廊、及上海世博会展出。

这次展出的作品是帕友国在北京生活时候所创造。它们
是感情的记录,而非历史性的记载,尽管他运用了很多
在北京地摊收集的旧照片。这些拼贴在作品中的照片不
单增加视觉上空间,更显露出其心理上层面。它们是对
一个文化的回忆-毛骨悚然的不远过去被嘈杂的现今所
取代。艺术家并没试图捕捉一些文化经历中的物质外表
符号,而是往内心寻找感情的关联。

这些绘画作品常常出现重复的格子和纹路,正如视觉化
的音乐或诗词谱写中的感触。微妙的节奏中潜在着美丽,
并通过艺术家所运用的充满感性的线条、形状、肌理、
颜色、甚至是破纸片,把复杂的感情升华。视觉元素被
安排得几乎完美和谐,但又充满着激发“化学反应”的
潜能。无论这些潜能是艺术家的理性或非理性所造成,
微妙的谱写动作需要恰当的激情与冷静。帕友国正在寻
找一个乐章、一种平衡,正如他的绘画是用普世的音符
所谱写的音乐。

Stir Gallery is pleased to present “In search of a composition," an exhibition
of paintings by Greek artist Yorgos Papageorgiou, who has lived and painted
in China for the past five years. His works have been exhibited at Today Art
Museum, Yishu8 gallery in Beijing and Shanghai's Expo.

Yorgos's paintings in this exhibition were created during his stay in Beijing.
They are emotional records, rather than historical records, of his living
experience in China, although he often uses old photographs that he has
collected from flea markets throughout Beijing. These photographs collaged
in the paintings add a dimension not only in spatial terms but also in
psychological layers. They are reminiscences of a culture in which the eerie
recent past has been quickly displaced by the noisy present. Rather than
trying to capture signs of the outward physical experience of culture, the
artist looks inward in search of emotional connection.

The paintings often consist of repetitions of grids and patterns that visualize
the sensation of composition such in both music and poetry. Beauty lies
within subtle rhythms, which transcend complex emotions through artist's
rendering of sensuous lines, shapes, texture, colours and torn paper. The
visual elements are arranged in almost perfect harmony and yet are full of
potentials that would cause "chemical reaction." Whether these potentials
are created consciously or unconsciously by the artist, the delicate act of
composing requires the right amount of both passion and calm. Yorgos is
in search of a composition, of a balance, as if his paintings were a piece of
music that is composed of universal notes.
