和以往的創(chuàng)作相比，“我不理解的，就是我理解的”的14幅全新油畫是一次大膽的出走，彰顯出一位文學(xué)和繪畫的長(zhǎng)期讀者新一輪的破與立：嘗試用放松的手感對(duì)著個(gè)人記憶寫形，卻又賦予畫面以一種敘事將至未至的織物質(zhì)地；代表性的詼諧效果得到延續(xù)，但不再僅僅依靠現(xiàn)實(shí)與文本中喜劇人物的形象和他們的姿勢(shì)，而是透過(guò)無(wú)數(shù)曲線和騷動(dòng)不安的曲面，從眾多由此形成的果凍樣形狀東倒西歪的“疊羅漢”中內(nèi)生出來(lái)；取法勃魯蓋爾父子的鄉(xiāng)村狂歡節(jié)圖景，穿過(guò)幾年前極大影響了翟倞后續(xù)創(chuàng)作的印度旅行，被秘密嫁接到偶得的中國(guó)經(jīng)驗(yàn)之上，從上古傳奇，到工廠下班時(shí)騎單車同行的浪漫，再到上世紀(jì)末“跳舞時(shí)代”的風(fēng)流，最終將懷舊情緒的諷喻變體深植于畫面。翟倞 ZHAI Liang，“談?wù)勄?，跳跳舞”“Shall We Dance?”，2023，布面油畫 oil on canvas，231×185 cm翟倞，1983年生于山西。2006年畢業(yè)于四川美術(shù)學(xué)院油畫系，2009年獲得中央美術(shù)學(xué)院油畫系碩士學(xué)位。近期的個(gè)展包括：想象的喜劇，千高原藝術(shù)空間，成都，中國(guó)（2020）；寫字會(huì)讓你渾身發(fā)熱，拇指發(fā)疼，Plate Space，北京，中國(guó)（2019）；尋隱者，空白空間，北京，中國(guó)（2018）；慢，千高原藝術(shù)空間，成都，中國(guó)（2017）；翟倞：客廳，否畫廊，紐約，美國(guó)（2016）；筆記，空白空間，北京，中國(guó)（2015）。近期的群展包括：2022北京藝術(shù)雙年展“共生”，友誼藝術(shù)社區(qū)，北京，中國(guó)（2022）；共生：詩(shī)與藝術(shù)的互文，OCAT 深圳館，深圳，中國(guó)（2019）；Hack Space，K11

翟倞 ZHAI Liang，“情感”“Emotion”，2023，布面油畫 oil on canvas，185×231 cm
Zhai Liang’s latest solo exhibition, “What
I Don’t Understand Is What I Understand,” will open at White Space (Shunyi) on
May 27, 2023.In his series The Garden of Forking Paths
(2011-2015) and Night Vessel, shown at exhibitions such as “Catalogue: Babel
Library” (2013), “Notes” (2015), and “Finding Hermits” (2018), Zhai Liang
excelled at using ambiguous symbols to lead viewers into literary moments. He
always cleverly combined humorous vignettes from short stories and comedy films
and ambiguous perceptions and visions from everyday life with the contemplation
of social relationships.
翟倞 ZHAI Liang，“下班”“Off Work”，2022，布面油畫 oil on canvas，185×231 cm
The 14 all-new oil paintings in “What I
Don’t Understand Is What I Understand” mark a bold departure from his previous
work, reflecting a new round of destruction and creation from a long-time lover
of literature and painting. Zhai takes a relaxed approach as he gives form to
personal memories, but he also imbues the images with the woven textures of
narratives that seem nearly—but not quite—over. His trademark humor continues
in these paintings, but he no longer relies solely on comedic figures and their
gestures from real life and media; instead, he transforms them into towering,
jelly-like shapes comprised of countless curved lines and restless rounded
surfaces. In other pieces, Zhai secretly grafts rural carnival scenes painted
by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and his son and images from a trip to India a few
years ago that had an immense influence on his subsequent work onto spontaneous
Chinese experience. Nostalgic variants of legendary works of literature, the
romance of colleagues riding their bicycles home from the factory, and the
sophistication of the pair dancing era are deeply implanted in still other
paintings. 翟倞 ZHAI Liang，“晚安”“Good Night”，2023，布面油畫 oil on canvas，231×185 cm
