新闻稿 Press Release:

SIMULACRA 拟像将于2024年1月20日呈现艺术家大卫·冯·巴尔 (David von Bahr) 的个展「世界 WORLD」。在本次展览中,艺术家延续过往的实践方式即跨越草图与轮廓的围栏,呈现一系列绘画作品即其与画布直接对话的内容。画布成为艺术家进入自己精神世界的媒介,引导至另一个超验境地。在延续的同时,高饱和和高密度的视觉刺激邀请观众在移动之间踏入另一个维度的世界。

大门静静地存在,散发出一种古老的气息,仿佛连接着时间的纽带,那是通向未知的门户,超越了物理的距离,诱人而危险。火焰燃烧着过去,而灰烬则是这场儿时记忆的残留,在黑暗中翩然降临,如幽灵般的存在,寄托着生命的痕迹。水是初生的泪,滋润着沉默的土地,泛起的涟漪似乎是一种启示。岩浆在这片虚无中交错融入了时间河流,奇异的泡泡悄然升腾,形成一场无字的舞蹈。地球似乎在神秘的光芒中沉思。

这是一场不可知的仪式,孕育着存在的奥秘,释放着奇异而迷人的能量。而那个无题的瞬间,仿佛是宇宙自身的谜语,等待有心者去解读,将每一位目睹者引入深邃而迷离的奇境。

大门无声地打开,不属于任何已知的世界。


SIMULACRA is pleased to present 「 WORLD」, a solo show by Sweden artist David von Bahr on January 20, 2024. In this exhibition, the artist continues his established practice of transcending the boundaries of sketches and outlines, presenting a series of paintings that engage in a direct dialogue with the canvas. The canvas serves as a medium for the artist to enter his own mental realm, guiding towards a transcendent state. While maintaining continuity, the high saturation and density of visual stimuli invite viewers to step into another dimensional world as they move through the exhibition.

The gate silently stands, emanating an ancient aura, as if connecting the threads of time. It is a portal to the unknown, transcending physical distances, enticing yet perilous. Flames burns the past, and ashes linger as remnants of childhood memories, descending gracefully in the darkness, akin to ghostly presences, bearing the traces of life. Water is the tears of a nascent dawn, nurturing the silent earth, and the ripples seem to convey a revelation. Lava intertwines with the river of time in this realm of nothingness, where peculiar bubbles quietly ascend, forming a wordless dance. The earth appears to contemplate amidst mysterious radiance.

This is an unknowable ritual, nurturing the mysteries of existence, releasing strange and enchanting energies. In that untitled moment, it's as if the universe itself poses a riddle, awaiting those with insight to decipher, guiding each witness into profound and bewildering realms.

The gate opens silently, belonging to no familiar world.
