前言 Introduction：
白石画廊北京欣然宣布将于2024年7月6日-8月3日期间，呈现坪田昌之（b.1976），金理有（b.1980），斑万字（b.1988）三位艺术家的展览《隐形维度》。他们将其独特且带有传统元素的艺术语言和当代的艺术语境相结合，表达了对物质本性、自然和时间的深刻理解。拓展了观众对艺术和世界的感知。
《隐形维度》探讨了那些不易被直接看到或理解的层面和维度。这些作品通过使用天然材料、现代技术和传统工艺，将观众引入一种超越表象的感知和思考方式，揭示出隐藏在物质表面下的情感、记忆和哲理。
坪田昌之的作品将木材、石头和矿物颜料巧妙结合，创造出具有摇曳色彩和纹理的动态图像。这些天然材料在作品中相互模糊、侵蚀，形成了独特的视觉效果。通过这种自然材料的融合与变幻，坪田的作品唤起观众的感官共鸣，引发对被遗忘记忆和敏感领域的深刻联想。这种探索不仅仅停留在视觉层面，更深入到感知和情感的深处，试图揭示那些隐藏在日常生活背后的无形维度。
金理有的陶瓷艺术在艺术与工艺之间来回转换，融合了科幻电影、街头文化和日本茶道等多种元素。他的作品以现代天目茶器为灵感，金色质地和彩虹釉料赋予其独特的视觉效果。这些陶瓷作品不仅仅是视觉的盛宴，更是对“看不见的物质”和“自我”等无形概念的探讨。通过结合现代茶道和陶瓷创作，金理有追求创造能够在一万年后依然留存的艺术品，揭示出时间和存在的隐形维度。
斑万字使用日本传统锻金技术“木目金”创作出简洁而现代的立体雕塑。其作品“裸立方”通过看似形状相似但实际上具备纤细差异的立方体，表现出人类多样的面貌和本质。这些雕塑探究了人性和物质本质的复杂性，并通过锻造手法过程的探索，揭示了软硬刚柔迥异的材料相互之间的融合极限与并存关系。这种多重视角的呈现和对材料融合极限的探索，反映了艺术家对人性本质的深刻思考，揭示了人性和物质中的隐形维度。
Whitestone Gallery Beijing is pleased to present Invisible Dimension from 6 July to 3 August 2024 by Masayuki Tsubota (b.1976), Riyoo Kim (b.1980), and Manji Madara (b.1988). They combine their unique yet traditional artistic language with a contemporary artistic context, expressing a profound understanding of matter, nature, and time. This expands the audience's perception of art and the world.
"Invisible Dimensions" explores those layers and dimensions that are not easily seen or understood directly. These works, using natural materials, modern technology, and traditional crafts, guide the audience into a way of perception and thinking that transcends appearances, revealing the emotions, memories, and philosophies hidden beneath the surface of matter.
Masayuki Tsubota 's works skillfully combine wood, stone, and mineral pigments to create dynamic images with wavering colors and textures. These natural materials blur and erode within the artwork, forming a unique visual effect. Through the fusion and transformation of these natural materials, Tsubota's works evoke a sensory resonance in the audience, sparking profound associations with forgotten memories and sensitive realms. This exploration goes beyond the visual level, delving into perception and emotion, attempting to reveal the invisible dimensions hidden behind everyday life.
Riyoo Kim's ceramic art oscillates between art and craft, blending elements from science fiction films, street culture, and Japanese tea ceremonies. Inspired by modern tenmoku teaware, his works are characterized by a unique visual effect with golden textures and rainbow glazes. These ceramic pieces are not just a visual feast but also an exploration of intangible concepts like "invisible matter" and "self." By combining modern tea ceremonies and ceramic creation, Riyoo Kin strives to create artworks that will endure for millennia, revealing the hidden dimensions of time and existence.
Manji Madara uses the traditional Japanese metalworking technique "mokume-gane" to create simple yet modern three-dimensional sculptures. His work "Uncoverd Cube" features cubes that appear similar in shape but actually possess subtle differences, representing the diverse facets and nature of humanity. These sculptures explore the complexity of human nature and the essence of materials, revealing the limits and coexistence of different materials—soft and hard, rigid and flexible—through the forging process. This presentation of multiple perspectives and the exploration of material fusion limits reflect the artist's profound contemplation of the essence of human nature, unveiling the invisible dimensions within humanity and matter.
