新年伊始，狮語画廊上海空间隆重呈现群展“小是美丽第八季”。
“小是美丽”是狮語画廊每年一度的系列主题展览，今年已经是第八季，本次展览囊括多样艺术形态，由来自中国、德国、日本的9位艺术家作品共同营造。
展览以“小是美丽”为题，旨在发掘容易被大家忽视的另一种视角，它同样蕴含着艺术家多元化的艺术表达。
陈春木透过流体绘画技巧画出奇异结构，表现出现实与想象之间的平行，让观众得以了解他独特的视觉世界；黄岩的新作将中国传统绘画的图式与西方油画的技法并置在同一画面中，他的创作是对传统文人艺术在当代语境下的重新定义；李磊的创作饱含着诗意，同时又有着激情与理性思辨的另一面，他的作品融汇着生命的律动，寄托着艺术家的精神籍慰；在德国艺术家马克斯的作品中，你能感受到他用当代的手法追求自由的精神，他的创作以本能和直觉感知的取向就艺术世界高度学术化的现象提出诘问；而当你观看日本艺术家铃木隆太的作品时，又会被其作品对传统日本艺术的沿袭所打动，这如浮世绘般又富于动感的作品，挑战着大众的传统认知；一直在试图不断地做“减法”是谭平的创作的重心，他的作品在至简至纯的风格变化中，从而进入一种纯粹个人化的境界；日本艺术家原田透的创作善于从街头日常中发现创作的媒介和灵感，这些来自生活化的材料、极简的结构和对粗线条的风格化运用是其作品的特别之处；吴曦煌的绘画作品大多以自己的小说为线索，由片断式的情节构建实现一种碎片式的叙事图景；在朱湘闽作品中，人物原型变得模凌两可，看似混乱与无序的自然界线之外被重构的人物形象与外在物质相遇，从而成为一种超越于自由的精神诉求。
也许宏观的艺术叙事会令人惊心动魄，但这些艺术世界里的“小”作品，也能成为怦然心动的力量，期待透过狮语画廊上海一楼的展览空间，让这些小而精的艺术作品，带给你万千世界的奇妙与感受。
At the beginning of the new year of 2019, Leo Gallery Shanghai proudly presents the group exhibition "Small is Beautiful·8".
Leo Gallery's annual themed exhibition "Small is Beautiful"has reached its 8th edition this year. The exhibition included a variety of art forms by nine artists from China, Germany and Japan.
By presenting the diverse art expression of the artists, the exhibition theme "Small is Beautiful" conveys our aim to discover another precious perspective of smallness that is always overlooked.
Chen Chunmu creates a curious structure through fluid painting techniques, expressing the parallelism of reality and imagination, and allowing the audience to understand his unique visual world; The recent work of Huang Yan places together images of traditional Chinese painting and techniques of Western oil painting, acting as a redefinition of traditional literati art in the contemporary context; Poetic, passionate and rational, Li Lei's work is infused with the rhythm of life，as well as the spiritual consolation of the artist; In the work of German artist Max Huckle，one can perceive his purse for freedom through his contemporary techniques, as his works are always oriented by instinct and intuition, challenging the highly academic phenomenon in the world of art; And when viewing the work of Japanese artist Ryuta Suzuki, one will be moved by its inheritance of traditional Japanese art, as the dynamic Ukiyoe-like work challenges the traditional cognition of the masses; The constant attempt to "do subtraction" is the core of Tan Ping's creation. Through the change of style to the most simple and pure, his work enters the stage of pure personalization; Japanese Artist T?ru Harada is good at finding material and inspiration from everyday street, as the materials from everyday life, the minimal structure and the stylized application of rough line make his work special; Wu Xihuang bases his paintings on his novel, constructing a shrewd narrative picture through piecemeal plots; In the work of Zhu Xiangmin, character prototype becomes ambiguous, outside the seemingly chaotic boundary of nature, the reconstructed character encounters external substance, carrying a kind of spiritual pursue that goes beyond freedom.
Perhaps macroscopical art narratives are heart-stirring, but these small creations of art can also be the forces of a heartbeat. In the first-floor exhibition space of Leo Gallery Shanghai, we look forward to bringing to you the wonders and feelings of the world through these small and beautiful art creations.
