南柯画廊欣然宣布将于2023年6月3日呈现艺术家金瀚个展项目《蔓延丛生》(Dendrites)。展览汇集了金瀚近期创作中精选的绘画、装置、手稿等作品，其创作聚焦于他通过不同视角和观察方式探索微观世界和宏观世界的关系、人体与自然的同源性，以及绘画在传统科普教育中的作用等相互交织的主题。
Nan Ke Gallery is pleased to announce Han Jin's solo exhibition project Dendrites will be presented on June 3, 2023. The exhibition brings together a series of his recent paintings, sketches, and installations to highlight his enduring exploration of perspectives and ways of seeing expressed through painting, and intertwining themes of microcosm and macrocosm, mirroring, symbolic depictions of the homology of the human body with nature, and painting's relations with conventional education.
金瀚的画作规划精确但充满活力，他的作品中有着大量生动的色调和大胆笔触。从创作早期对个体的和自然元素的描绘，到近期对人体微观世界的观察，再到将地理和自然科学有关的元素引人思考地并置或叠加。金瀚通过描绘人体与地理和宇宙的同源性，呈现了比他以往的创作层次和视角更加更丰富、更具探索性的作品。
Jin's dynamic yet precisely planned paintings transfix viewers by employing a plethora of vivid hues, bravura brushwork. From his early depiction of individual and natural elements to his recent observation of the microcosm of the human body, and to provocative juxtaposition and layering of elements that relate to geographic and natural science. Jin presents a richer and more exploratory body of works by depicting the homology of the human body with geographic and cosmic references.
金瀚似乎总是能够在有限的画布上捕捉到人类和自然同质化的无限瞬间。画中的形式和色彩往往是基于他的观察和想象力的发挥，而不是简单的复制。在《脉络》系列作品中自然现象的截面与身体局部意象并置——在这里，艺术家取代了观察仪器，以超越科学常识的视角浪漫地缩略了宏观世界和微观世界之间的关系。对金瀚来说，他的作品还延伸他了对绘画在社会中的作用及其与传统科普教育关系的探索。尽管在教育中艺术并不以自身作为目的，但它应该也需要介入并与之混合，一如艺术融于生活一样，它可以成为唤起对自然和科学的好奇心的浪漫入口。
Jin seems able to capture the infinite moments of human and natural homogeneity on a limited canvas. The painted forms and colours are often based on the play of his observation and imagination, not simply reproduced, creating a romantic abbreviation of the relationship between the macrocosm and the microcosm. In the series The Context where he juxtaposes geographic and human elements, the artist replaces the scientific observation apparatus and transcends perspectives of scientific common sense. For Jin, his works also extend an exploration of the role of painting in society and its relations with conventional education - although art does not enter education as a goal in itself, it should be able to intervene and mix with it, just as how art blends into our lives, and it can be a romantic entry point to evoke curiosities.
在2023年最近创作的一系列作品中，金瀚进行了将自然景观、气象学、地理符号、密码、人体解剖学和显微镜下的组织等元素重新组合或叠加的大胆尝试：《基因》中人体的本身、肉眼所可见的月球、叠加在放大的血管细节上的破碎冰面，以及《共显》中像是带着经纬度标注的抽象地图和树枝状蔓延的血管等等。这些都来自艺术家对观察这个行为本身的迷恋和探索。这些较大的画作也几乎就像镜子一样——它将世界反射到观者身上的同时，观者也看到了不同世界。
In a series of works recently created in 2023, Jin made bold attempts to recombine and superimpose elements of the natural landscape, meteorology, geographical symbols, codes, human anatomy and tissues under the microscope: the human body itself, the moon visible to the naked eye, and the broken ice surface superimposed on the details of enlarged blood vessels in Gene; the abstract map with latitude and longitude markings of his own and the dendritic spreading veins in Codominance; All of them draw on Jin's fascination with the sense of looking. These larger canvases are almost like mirror images, it's a world reflecting back at the viewer, and at the same time, you also feel like you are seeing into many other worlds.
在这次展览中，金瀚还为我们重现了他工作室的一些部分——DNA Room。它是一个展中展，在把观众带入艺术家的工作室中观展的同时，开启一场对他的研究和创作方式的沉浸式调查，为观众对艺术家的创作过程和作品的理解提供了不同的视角和线索。这里也不仅是艺术家创作的空间，也是他的安全屋、图书馆，以及研究、交流和沉思的地方。展厅中将呈现金瀚的大型现场绘画、奇物柜、读物、草图和装置作品等。
For this exhibition, the artist has recreated a part of his studio environment for us, the DNA Room, with a large-scale painting in situ, a cabinet of curiosity, books, sketches, and installations. It is also not only a space for his artistic creations but also his safe house, library, and place for research, communication, and contemplation. This space is a survey exhibition within the show, providing the viewer clues and yet another perspective to understand his creative process and his works.
