介绍 PRESS RELEASE

BLANKgallery上海空间欣然呈现代理艺术家王超群与画廊的第三次个人展览：再靠近一点。本次展览主要汇聚王超群近两年的新作品，探讨艺术家对于类人结构以及独特空间探索的绘画上如何继续延伸，以此绘画主体表达个体自我意识的碰撞和漫游。 BLANKgallery Shanghai is delighted to present the third solo exhibition of the represented artist Wang Chaoqun: "Be Closer”. This exhibition showcases Wang Chaoqun's new works from the past two years. It reveals how the artist continues to extend the exploration of humanoid structures and unique spatial perspectives in painting, thereby expressing the collision and wandering of individual self-consciousness through the painting subject.

相比之前的创作，本次展出的作品对于空间的探索，类人形态的变化角度更加丰富，尤其对于画面中光线的设计让画面平衡通透，给予绘画更多自由。新作品呈现艺术家对于作品的方向倾向于逐渐回归人体的研究，融入解剖学的角度，增加观众与作品的熟悉度，形成似曾相识的符号，却又对具体无从寻起。

新一批绘画作品仍然坚持艺术家对于绘画的“要求”，在一定程度上回避内容绝对的真实，以一种冷静的抽象形式均匀呈现在每张画布之中。通过收集切实的生活场景带来的触动，归纳感性并重组头脑里的意识，最终形成一种独特的表达语言。 Compared to previous series, the works displayed in this exhibition delve deeper into spatial exploration, with more diverse changes in humanoid forms. Particularly, the lights designed within the canvas to achieve balance and transparency, allowing the paintings to have greater freedom. With the new works, the artist gradually returns to the study of the human body, incorporating anatomical perspectives, enhancing familiarity between the audience and the works, while forming seemingly familiar symbols that are nevertheless elusive.

The series of paintings adheres to the artist's painting "principle", avoiding absolute realism to a certain extent, and presenting itself uniformly in a cold abstract form on each canvas. It is through the collection of tangible life scenes, the synthesis of sensibilities, and the reorganization of consciousness that a unique language of expression is created.

“再靠近一点”是艺术家在创作中的自观以及与不断与自我建立联系的创作过程，越接近未知的精神领域，与作品的相处，在精神层面更像一种绘画给予创作者的反哺，于观众亦是一面探索认知维度的反射镜。

对于绘画，有时更多是一种默契，无法被叙述的也许是意识里的某种共识，如同美的存在，既抽象感性，又像理智般均匀，唯有独自体会理解。 "Be Closer" represents the artist's self-reflection on creation and the process of continuously establishing a connection with the self. By painting at a spiritual level, the artist's relationship with the artwork becomes more similar to a reciprocal information given to the creator, serving as a mirror for the audience to explore cognitive dimensions.

Paintings, sometimes it is more of an unspoken understanding. What cannot be described may be a certain consensus within consciousness, akin to the existence of beauty, both abstractly sensual and evenly rational, only to be comprehended and understood individually.
