蜂巢当代艺术中心将于2016年9月30日至11月3日在C\D\E展厅呈现“线·索：顾亮个展”。顾亮于1980年出生于中国西安，毕业于西安美院，现居北京。顾亮曾在北京、台北、新加坡、纽约等多个国际城市举办个展。早先的细腻画风体现出他对单一事物描绘的迷恋，也透露出他对视觉和心理多重空间的思考，顾亮数年的创作呈现出去具象化的对空间的思辨性探索，本次展览将聚焦艺术家2015年后的最新作品，在当前阶段，线、影、空间在他的画面中相互激活、微妙辩证，构建出新的平衡。

顾亮在2008年前后创作了“地标”系列，他细致得描绘了生活空间内随处可见的电线杆和缠绕其上的线缆，彼时艺术家或许已经在线与线之间的普遍相似又各自差异中看到秩序。在2010年至2013年的“现场”和“深蓝”系列中，顾亮走向了对日常景物的臆构与场景的编撰，通过几何形式及变形，他将自己主观的视觉经验投射成具有形式感的画面。“日常”系列创作于2014年，顾亮将单个或组群性日常物体为画面主体形象简单干净地措置在空白纸面上，这个系列尤其注重画面物体的形式感和光影布局，几何化的构成感得到加强，光影似乎创造了自主的时空。

经过数年的创作实践，顾亮逐渐将线、光、影尽皆纳入到形式和语言的探索之中，他还尝试过一批由布面绘画、木框和线等元素共同组构的综合材料作品，试图将其对多重空间的思考转译生成为做为审美和观看对象的视觉形式。在这种视觉审美的研习中，顾亮将绘画作为有机体的构成建立了自我的语言认知体系，他认为线创造了第一空间，光创造了第二空间，影的出现创造了第三空间，线和影的交织形成了第四空间，而最终在相互交织中被分割出的空间以平面的方式重组形成第五空间。

顾亮纯粹基于对线、光、影的运用在二维平面营造了多维空间，切实消弭了实在与视幻的界限，在这里，一度真实的光影隐匿在二维绘画笔触的淡淡投影中，几何的框与线也通过平面得以表达，艺术家似乎在此体味到了其对空间思辨和平衡所应有的样子。

Hive Center for Contemporary Art will present Gu Liang's Solo Exhibition Clue at the Hall C\D\E from 30 Sept. to 3 Nov.,2016. Born in 1980 in Xi'an, China, Gu Liang was graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Xi'an. He have has individual exhibitions in international cities of the World such as Beijing, Taipei, Singapore and New York. The exhibition will show Gu Liang's new exploration after 2015, in his recent works, he creates a multi-dimensional space of lines, light and shadow on a two dimension surface, in which he converts his thinking on multiple spaces into visual forms for appreciation.

Take a look at Gu’s artistic practice of recent years and we can find that his thinking on multiple visual and mental spaces started from his obsession with the depiction of one-object reflected in his early delicate style. The subject of every painting would be worked into blank paper often in a simple and clean manner, and it isn’t hard to find, if you pay attention, that the painter has been extraordinarily enthusiastic about the depiction of objects’ shadows.

Gu Liang holds that the first space is created by lines, the second by light, the third by the appearance of shadow, the fourth by the interlacement of lines and shadow, and the fifth by reorganizing all the divided spaces resulting from the interlacement in a planar form.

In his new experiments since 2015, lines, light and shadow have all been included in his exploration of form and language. Gu has created a group of mixed media pieces constituted by elements such as paintings on canvas, wooden frames and lines, in an attempt to convert his thinking on multiple spaces into visual forms for appreciation. And his purity in creating a multi-dimensional space of lines, light and shadow on a two dimension surface certainly erases the boundary between reality and visual illusion, and in that space, the once-real light and shadow hides in the feeble projection of the strokes in 2D painting, and geometrical frames and lines are also expressed in the 2D form. It seems that the artist can sense what it’s supposed to be like out of his thinking and balancing of spaces.
