耿畫廊將在7月5日至27日舉辦紐約藝術家朱禮銀的個展「達境」，此次展覽展出23件作品，創作年代橫跨1970年至2014年，見證朱禮銀在藝術領域中的創造力，並邀請觀者一窺每幅細心雕琢的畫作中，對於生命起伏轉折的詮釋。
一頁頁空白的筆記本紙張，化為朱禮銀思緒與想像力馳騁的空間，《我的素描本》、《一張方格紙》、《第一頁：綠標》等作品，召喚觀者釋放自己的幻想與夢境。朱禮銀多件作品中的大片留白，象徵她對獨立的渴望，她需要屬於自己的空間，在其中自由地解放自我。每幀作品的空白處都訴說著一種與世界保持距離的渴求，這世界曾經讓她充滿對隔絕的恐懼，卻也賜給她藝術，使其成為她最終的庇護所，進而將恐懼轉化為視覺創意美學的展現。
朱禮銀握著畫筆的手，揮灑過極簡細緻的線條，如今隨著內在起伏，而以強烈迷人的色彩，於畫布上體現這些思想與心靈轉變。自70至90年代，她細細描繪一個個蓋滿郵戳的信封；2000年以後，畫面主角成為傳統亞洲女性與歐式建築，每件作品都是她在中國、日本與歐洲旅行後的反芻。當她走過每個國家的土地，便發覺一種新的自己，而拼貼式的構圖便成為每個自我領悟的見證。
朱禮銀出生於紐約，父母為現代派畫家朱沅芷與畫廊經營者海倫．葳茉．朱。從小，朱禮銀便浸淫在藝術文化陶冶中，她的混血兒背景與美感教育促使她成為一名藝術創作者。她在父親祖國—中國、日本生活的日子，和她在紐約長大的生活相互融匯交織，培養她的創作視野。朱禮銀的作品反映了她追尋自我的親身旅程，最終孕育了一種跨越國界的獨特創作風格。
朱禮銀曾在世界各地展出，包括台灣台北與中國北京的耿畫廊、日本東京的南天子畫廊、Miyuki畫廊；比利時布魯塞爾的美國國務院大使館與瑞士巴塞爾藝博會；以及在美國國內多次展出，包括紐約州紐約的傑生麥考伊畫廊、羅伯．米勒畫廊、OK哈里斯畫廊，與加州洛杉磯的艾許/佛爾畫廊。作品收藏於世界各大公共與私人機構，包括美國北卡羅萊納州格林斯博羅郡的威得史譜美術館；康乃狄克州史托爾斯郡的威廉班頓美術館；馬里蘭州的巴爾的摩美術館；中國北京的美國大使館；日本倉敷的大原美術館與輕井澤的現代美術館。朱禮銀現居住、工作於紐約市與紐約州東漢普敦郡。
Tina Keng Gallery is pleased to present New York-based artist Li-lan and her solo exhibition, A World Achieved, on view from July 5 to July 27 (opening reception: 4:30 p.m., Saturday, July 5). The exhibition features a total of 23 pieces, ranging from the 1970s to 2014, and invites the viewer to dive into the dichotomies of life in each carefully composed frame.
Empty sheets of notebooks turned into a space for Li-lan’s thoughts and imagination to roam freely. Works such as My Sketchbook, One Sheet of Graph Paper, or The First Page: Green Tabs invite viewers to convey their own fantasies and dreams. The great white space in many of Li-lan’s pieces signifies a yearning for independence, her need for a space she could call her own, where she could stretch out and expand. The blankness left in each frame voices her craving for distance from the world, which once filled her with a fear of isolation yet granted art as her ultimate shelter, where she turned that fear into a creative vision of aesthetics.
The hands that once applied minimal and delicate brushstrokes witness changes in Li-lan’s mind and soul, and materialize those changes in vibrant and mesmerizing palette of colors. From her early works of envelopes with postage stamps throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, to her images of traditional Asian women and European architecture in the 2000s, each work illustrates Li-lan’s experiences of cultural journeys in China, Japan, and Europe. The collage-inspired compositions speak of Li-lan’s transformations within, as each country she traveled opened her eyes to a new side of herself.
Born in New York to gallerist Helen Wimmer Gee and Modernist painter Yun Gee, Li-lan was exposed to cultural sophistication since she was little. Her biracial background and aesthetic upbringing are catalysts for her transformation into an artist. Her days spent in Japan, and her father’s homeland China, intertwined with her life in New York, together forged her artistic vision. Li-lan’s art practice reflects her personal journey of self-discovery, and ultimately creates a unique oeuvre of transnationalism.
Li-lan has exhibited internationally at Tina Keng Gallery (Taipei, Taiwan; and Beijing, China); Nantenshi Gallery and Miyuki Gallery (Tokyo, Japan); Art In Embassies (Brussels, Belgium) and Basel International Art Fair (Basel, Switzerland); and extensively in the USA, including shows at Jason McCoy Gallery; Robert Miller; OK Harris (New York, NY); and Asher/Faure Gallery (Los Angeles, CA); Her work is in major public and private collections all over the world, including the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro, NC; the William Benton Museum of Art in Storrs, CT; the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, MD; The American Embassy, Beijing, China; the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki, Japan; and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Karuizawa, Japan. Li-lan lives and works in New York City and East Hampton, NY. |
