欢迎来到斯戴比女人的世界,她们是一群生活在当代都市的部落女战士,她们矫健有力、神秘迷人……头戴面具、身披斗篷、手执匕首的斯戴比女人是英国跨界艺术家粉刺小子自2002年起开始创作并不断完善的艺术形象。现居谢菲尔德的粉刺小子是一位多才的跨界者,12岁开始涂鸦创作,先后涉足嘻哈音乐、地下杂志、动画、电影短片等艺术领域,还曾受邀为多个知名品牌进行设计。此次展览通过涂鸦、架上绘画、摄影、装置、影像等多元的艺术媒介,为观者呈现粉刺小子以超凡的想象力构建出的斯戴比女人的世界。
展览题目“Cloak & Dagger”直译为“斗篷和匕首”,不仅精要勾勒出了斯戴比女人标志性的形象,同时“斗篷和匕首”在西文中也是一句谚语,用于指涉卷入了阴谋、秘密、间谍活动或神秘事件的情境,用作此展标题,粉刺小子本人认为是对艺术家的创作方式的巧妙隐喻——秘密的进行创作并与自己所创造之物保持疏离。

Welcome to Stabby Woman's world, they are vigorous and charming tribeswoman in modern metropolis. Stabby Woman with mask, cloak and dagger was created and completed by versatile English artist Kid Acne in 2002. Now living in Sheffield, Kid Acne began painting graffiti at the age of twelve and then set foot in varies kinds of art such as painting, installation, hip-pop, underground fanzines, cartoon and video. Besides, he was invited to cooperate with world's leading brands. With extraordinary imagination, the artist will present Stabby Woman's world through graffiti, painting, installation and video in this exhibition. The exhibition title "Cloak & Dagger" is translated word for word in order to give iconic outline of Stabby Woman. Meanwhile, "Cloak & Dagger" is a western proverb which refers to situation evolved with conspiracy, secret, espionage or mystery. In Kid Acne's opinion this is also a witty metaphor toward art creating - do it secretly and keep distance from the art creation.
