新闻稿 Press Release：
ArtDepot艺术仓库荣幸带来独家代理艺术家刘钰飞第二次个展《东山采珠》，将于2024年2月25日在北京798艺术区空间呈现。本次展览将展出艺术家2023-2024年的十余件精选架上作品及装置与影像。
本次展览名称 “东山采珠” 源自《后汉书》 “开山采珠” ，指代进山采取珍珠，面对珍宝以错误的方式求取，是明知无果但却为之的徒劳，但同时也有着开山的稚拙坚定与毅然；而 “东山” 则是中国传统文化中典故颇多的意象，它是《诗经》中的远征之地，也是魏晋时期名仕隐者的游憩之所，尝试将这两个词汇重组，所得的 “东山采珠” ，没有想象中那样强烈的陌生感，反倒与刘钰飞的近作无比贴近。
刘钰飞的工作方式，有着少见于艺术家的严谨逻辑，在他的上一次个展里，他个人的绘画图像系统被清晰呈现，近期的新作，则更能窥见他的创作路径。他对波斯细密画与中亚图像志有着浓厚的兴趣与细致的研究，依托藏族回文图案诗式的解构方式，他的绘画形成了一种完满的图像生成结构，由经史典故中提取的图示经过演化与再创造，在刘钰飞的画面中获得了具有强烈绘画感的、崭新的当代化转译与升华。
当才华融于艺术家持续的稳定创作，语义的挖掘并非易事，而严肃图像的创造亦如采珠，行徂东山，慆慆不归。
ArtDepot is proud to present Liu Yufei's second solo exhibition "Pearling In The Mountains Of The East", which will be presented in Beijing's 798 Art District on February 25, 2024. The exhibition will feature a selection of more than ten easel works, installation and video by the artist from 2023-2024.
The name of the exhibition " Pearling In The Mountains Of The East" comes from“book of the Later Han Dynasty”, which refers to the mountain to take pearls, in the face of treasures in the wrong way, is knowing that there is no fruit but it is futile, but also has the naive firm and resolute; The "Dongshan (mountains of the east)" is a lot of allusions in traditional Chinese culture, it is the expedition in "Book of Songs", but also the Wei and Jin period of the famous recluse of the rest of the place, try to recombine these two words, the " Pearling In The Mountains Of The East ", not as strong as the imagination of strangeness, but very close to Liu Yufei's recent works.
Liu Yufei's way of working has a rigorous logic rarely seen in artists. In his last solo exhibition, his personal painting image system was clearly presented, and his recent new works can even glimpse his creative path. He has a keen interest in and meticulous study of Persian miniature painting and Central Asian iconography. Relying on the deconstruction of Tibetan palindrome patterns poems, his paintings have formed a complete image generation structure. Through the evolution and re-creation of illustrations extracted from historical allusions, Liu Yufei's paintings have obtained a strong sense of painting and a new contemporary translation and sublimation.
When the talent is integrated into the artist's continuous stable creation, semantic mining is not easy, and the creation of serious images is also like pearling, which is far away and make artist devoted to.
