无意之意——当代抽象水墨联展

无意之意——当代抽象水墨联展

当代水墨是中国传统水墨艺术与西方现代艺术观念结合而成的一个品种。在保留中国传统笔、墨、纸等的基础上，大量运用西方现代艺术创作中的一些方法和观念进行创作，和传统中国绘画已有相当的距离，和传统笔墨的概念也有很大区别，有些在形式上的追求大于笔墨传统的内涵，有些甚至有南辕北辙的感觉。在2015新年之际，瀚之欧洲艺术画廊•中国特别推出《无意之意——当代水墨联展》，力求让热爱艺术、水墨、当代的观众欣赏到水墨艺术在当代艺术家的创作中体现出的独特风格。

本次展览由瀚之欧洲艺术画廊•中国（EUROP'ART CHINA）主办，展览将从2015年1月17日到3月28日在上海市普陀区莫干山路93号瀚之欧洲艺术画廊•中国展出。届时观众朋友将欣赏到沪川两地，老、中、青三代艺术家李厚（Li Hou）、蓝正辉（Lan Zhenghui）、周倩（Zhou Qian）的水墨作品。特别值得一提的是本次展览中的三位艺术家分别会亲临现场讲述他们的创作历程，让喜爱他们的观众朋友更近距离的接触和交流。

李厚，字霄孙，一九三八年生人，承家学渊源，自幼学习中国传统书画。李厚曾在中国改革开放之初，和少数同行一起，以非凡的勇气和才情，开拓探索了中国水墨的现代进程。20多年的探索，使他成为中国抽象水墨最具有代表性的少数画家之一。

蓝正辉，1959年生于四川。著名当代水墨艺术家，中国重水墨开创者。也是多个国际品牌的代言艺术家。2013年被评为舒适跨界艺术年度人物。“85新艺术运动”参与者。1987年毕业于四川美术学院，2003年师从刘骁纯先生。曾先后在重庆、广州、安徽、加拿大从事艺术创作。2007年在北京建立艺术工作室。近30年的抽象艺术和当代水墨经历，让蓝正辉开始思考水墨的体能表达方式，试图将“面化”的水墨做到极致，以确立一种“面书写”的概念。被业界认为是在中国水墨画书写的体能表达和抽象结构表现方面有突出贡献的艺术家。

周倩生于上海，自幼在其父著名书法家父亲的影响下学习书法和国画。之后在新加坡南洋艺术学院主修西画于1999年毕业，并于中国国家画院深造山水和上海中国画院研修花鸟。她的绘画创作融汇了中西绘画的技法，更融汇着东方与西方的启迪，生动华美的色彩辉映着中国书法的线条，以全新的风格表现着具有中国哲理意味的象外之象。其多幅作品先后被刘海粟美术馆、中国外交部、昆山杜克大学（美国）等收藏或作为国礼赠予他国。此外，周倩在上海艺术和文学界参与和兼职诸多社会活动及慈善活动，成为同龄人中的佼佼者。

借此次展览的契机特向公众公告画廊变更信息：原“欧洲艺术画廊（中国）”正式更名为“瀚之欧洲艺术画廊•中国”，原英文名“GALLERY EUROP’ART CHINA”更名为“EUROP’ART CHINA”；画廊LOGO也将做出相应变更。画廊在2015年将以全新的面貌呈现给广大艺术爱好者，望大家也能一如既往地支持瀚之欧洲艺术画廊•中国在今后的发展。

The Being of Nihility: Joint Exhibition for Contemporary Abstract Ink Paintings

Contemporary ink painting is a new kind of art, which is a production of the combination of traditional Chinese ink painting and modern western art concepts. Artists, based on traditional Chinese brushes, ink, rice paper, and etc., create the artworks with modern western artistic ideas and methods. Thus, contemporary ink paintings are quite different from the traditional Chinese ink paintings, especially in terms of ways of expression. In the beginning of 2015, EUROP'ART CHINA(瀚之欧洲艺术画廊•中国) launches The Being of Nihility: Joint Exhibition for Contemporary Abstract Ink Paintings, providing an excellent opportunity for those who are fond of art to appreciate the unique style of contemporary artworks.

Hosted by EUROP'ART CHINA, the exhibition will be open from January 17th to March 28th, 2015 at No.93 Moganshan Road, Putuo-Shanghai, China. The exhibits are from Shanghai and Sichuan artists of various ages, including Li Hou(李厚), Lan Zhenghui(蓝正辉) and Zhou Qian(周倩). The most exciting part of the exhibition is that the above-mentioned three artists are going to meet, face to face, with audiences, sharing their experiences of creation.

As a teenager, Li started to study Western oil paintings under the oil master Yan Wenliang(颜文樑). Soaking himself in classic studies and traditional Chinese art forms throughout the Cultural Revolution, Li emerged as a well-established ink wash painter and calligrapher in the 70s.  Li started experimenting with abstract and expressionist methods while using traditional Chinese media of ink and rick paper.

He was reward as Crossover Artist of the Year in 2013 by COMFORT. He is also a major participator of 85 New Art Movement. With almost 30 years experience of abstract art and contemporary ink paintings, Lan started to think about the expression of “Heavy”. He tried to create and to establish a concept of “dimension writing” of ink paintings. He is also recognized as an outstanding artist in expression of “heavy” and abstract structures of contemporary ink paintings.

Zhou Qian(周倩) was born in shanghai and started learning Chinese calligraphy and painting influenced by her father who is a famous calligrapher. She graduated from Singapore Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, major in western painting. After she furthers her art studies in China National Academy of Painting for landscape and Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts for flowers and birds.  Zhou’s artworks combine both Chinese and western techniques, as well as vivid colors and lines of calligraphy, which represents in new style image out of image rich in Chinese philosophy. Her artworks were collected by Liu Haisu Art Museum, China’s Diplomatic Department and Duke University as permanent collection or selected as a gift to foreign countries.
