“我的绘画意在探索个体与其外在的物质和社会环境的复杂关系。在一定程度上，人无一例外都是其天性和由个体经历与社会状态所形成的特定语境叠加的产物。”
——尤加明
伯年艺术空间欣然宣布，将于2024年5月12日至6月9日期间推出艺术家尤加明首个展“粼城与花”。本次展览由王垚力担任策展人，展览中尤加明的十余幅最新作品，以都市中的人造自然元素与环境为引，进而探讨个体和其所处的外部环境中生发的复杂关系。
尤加明长期关注微小个体与庞大的外部环境之间的相互作用。以往着重表现人物状态的她，在最新作品中将关注点转移到都市里带有人工痕迹的“自然景观”。以植物园、野营地和温室为例的带有“自然”属性的空间，是反映人类在经历社会化、城市化后，重新向往自然的人造产物。而与原始自然不同的是，城市中的人造景观往往带有明显的人工痕迹，并试图展现出某种人类特有的视觉美学。
在此系列作品的创作中，尤加明从生活中被习以为常的“人造自然”捕捉灵感，将以往作为主体的不可被辨别的人物放于画面的后置位，或与景观融为一体，“自然”的存在被不断放大。看似零散和被拼凑出的画面，某种刻意的人工痕迹表现出一种意外和谐的美感。在人与自然相互塑造的中间地带，尤加明通过绘画，重新整合了四散各处的创作线索，引导我们重新关注和思考人类、社会与自然间，无法完全分割的暧昧关联。
"My paintings navigate the complex relationship between individuals and their external environment, both physical and sociological. To some extent, every human being is the product of their own nature and a specific context formed by their life experience and social condition."
Jiaming You
BONIAN SPACE is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition, Remnant of City and Flora, by artist Jiaming You, from May 12 to June 9, 2024. Curated by Wang Yaoli, the exhibition features ten of You's latest works, focusing on the interaction between artificial natural elements and the urban environment, thereby exploring the complex relationship between the individual and their external surroundings.
You has long been interested in the relations between small individuals and the lived environment. While her previous works focused on portraying the state of individuals, her latest works shifted the eye to "natural landscapes" in urban areas with artificial traces. Spaces with "natural" attributes, such as botanical gardens, campsites, and greenhouses, are manufactured products that reflect humanity's renewed longing for nature after undergoing socialization and urbanization. Unlike primitive nature, urban landscapes often bear evident artificial traces and attempt to showcase a kind of human-specific visual aesthetics.
In this series of works, You draws inspiration from the commonplace "artificial nature" of life, placing indistinguishable figures in the background of the composition or blending them with the environment, thus amplifying the presence of "nature". The seemingly scattered and pieced-together images, with deliberate traces of human intervention, evoke an unexpected harmony and attractiveness. In the intermediate place where humans and nature shape each other, You, through painting, reassembles scattered threads of our lives, guiding us to re-examine and contemplate the ambiguous connections between humanity, society, and nature that cannot be severed entirely.
