前言 Introduction：
今格空间荣幸地宣布，付小桐在今格空间的第二次个展“NUN-6 沉默”将于2024年8月3日开幕，本次展览是艺术家在深圳的首次个展。展期持续至9月30日。
“NUN”是艺术家近几年延用的个展名称，在上古时期“NUN”是指一种生命混沌体，曾被称为大地母神，在当下译为修女。付小桐借用“NUN”这个古老的女性母题展开对于女性与社会，女性与其精神世界等方面的创作探索。在付小桐的艺术线索中，常以宣纸替代身体为创作的原点，再扩展至雕塑、影像等不同的媒介中。作品经由女性的视角产生内观与思辩，同时形由心生地散发着东方美学气质。
本次展览中，付小桐将呈现最新的“纸上针孔”系列作品，“山水”的造型由此前浮于云雾之上锐利的山峰微妙地幻化为层层伸展的起伏山丘，好似云雾出没的峰峦叠积成阔大的山景，又似沉稳安详的人物背影。艺术家线条准确地将前景推至远景，并使作品散发出空灵的气韵；另外一组由40张小幅宣纸拼成的长约五米的大幅纸上作品，灵感源自艺术家在柏林与北京往返的飞机上看到的云朵，她将这些记忆中的云朵经由感知的转化，刺在宣纸上形成抽象的视觉与含蓄的张力；同样也是在飞机上观察到的“云朵”与针并置一起，以影像的方式呈现，云朵从西向东飘来，针从东向西移动刺向艺术家的瞳孔，无限的接近又无法接近的状态。这种尖锐的视角更多来自艺术家自觉的选择——女性的脆弱与坚韧，生活在文化差异中的挣扎到清醒，并不断地通过拓展作品重塑自身的主体性。
付小桐1976年出生于中国山西，2000年本科毕业于天津美术学院油画系，2013年硕士研究生毕业于中央美术学院实验艺术系，目前生活、工作于柏林和北京。近年重要个展：NUN-6（今格空间，深圳，2024）；NUN-3（今格空间，北京，2022）；NUN-3（前波画廊，纽约，2022）付小桐的作品曾被美国富达艺术、美国康奈尔大学约翰逊美术馆、美国洛杉矶郡立美术馆、澳大利亚白兔美术馆、中国浙江美术馆等公共机构收藏。
Ginkgo Space is pleased to announce that Fu Xiaotong's second solo exhibition at Gingko Space, "NUN-6 Silence", will open on August 3, 2024. This exhibition is the artist's first solo exhibition in Shenzhen, and will last until September 30.
"NUN" is the title of the artist's solo exhibition, which has been used in recent years. In ancient times, "NUN" refers to a chaotic body of life, which was once called Mother Earth and is now translated as nun. Using the ancient female motif of "NUN", Fu Xiaotong began to explore the aspects of women and society, as well as women and their spiritual world. In Fu Xiaotong's artistic clues, she often uses rice paper which represents body as the origin of creation, and then extends to different media such as sculpture and film. The works produce introspection and speculation from the female perspective, and at the same time radiate oriental aesthetic temperament from the form of mind.
In this exhibition, Fu Xiaotong will present the latest series of works named "pinholes on paper", from which the shape of "landscape" is subtly transformed into layers of rolling hills floating in front of the sharp mountains above the clouds. It seems as the peaks of clouds and fog accumulate into a broad mountain scenery, or as the calm and serene figure of the back.
The artist's line accurately pushes the foreground to the long view, and makes the work exude an ethereal charm. Another group of work is a five meters long paper work consists of 40 small pieces of rice paper, inspired by the clouds on the plane between Berlin and Beijing during Fu Xiaotong’s flight. She transformed these memories of clouds into abstract vision and implicit tension on the rice paper; The "clouds" observed on the plane and the needle are juxtaposed together in the form of an image, in which the clouds float from west to east, and the needle moves from east to west and pricks the artist's pupil, which forms the state of infinite proximity and inaccessibility. This sharp perspective comes more from the artist's conscious choices - the fragility and tenacity of women, the struggle to become sober in living in cultural differences, and constantly reshaping her subjectivity through expanding her works.
Fu Xiaotong, born in 1976 in Shanxi, China, graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 2000 with a bachelor's degree and from the Experimental Art Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2013 with a master's degree. She currently lives and works in Berlin and Beijing. Important solo exhibition in recent years: NUN-6 (Ginkgo Space, Shenzhen, 2024); NUN-3 (Ginkgo Space, Beijing, 2022); NUN-3 (Chambers Fine Art, New York, 2022) Fu Xiaotong's works have been collected by Fidelity Arts, Johnson Art Museum of Cornell University, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, White Rabbit Gallery of Australia, Zhejiang Art Museum of China, and other public institutions.
