新闻稿 Press Release:

可以画廊荣幸宣布,将于8月27日在合肥空间举办艺术家张珂个展「谎言是一种无法被抚平的褶皱」。这是艺术家与可以画廊的首次个展合作,由张文怡策展,展览将精心呈现张珂近一年以来的二十余件绘画作品。

张珂的作品以探究“观看和认知的方式”为出发点,拆解,重构,并置传统物项,通过绘画的技法去描绘元素所特有的原始质感和特性,将其置于矛盾和对立中,使相互矛盾的碎片彼此沉默的共鸣,来表达个人对日常生活长久的凝视下产生的怀疑和相信。
在营造错觉方面,她受到了定格动画艺术家史云梅耶的影响,想象力和预测,是制造错觉的条件,可被辨别的物体是错觉发酵的温床,她的绘画既展示预判如何形成,也展示在既有经验形成的预判中的纰漏和谎话,当认知与经验和新的现实实践产生矛盾时,认知也因怀疑更接近完整。

张珂在画面中常描绘植物,没有固定品属的枝叶在物与物之间生长和衰败,部分死去部分生长,是矛盾的的结合体也是完整的存在,是对自身困境长久的注视,对简单幸福即刻的满足。画面的氛围既是安静的,也是冲突的,由点状的,轻盈的笔触组成,物和物之间的边界不由完整的线分割,如果一张画明确的指向某个事实,她会破坏它,使其再次回到矛盾之中。


KeYi Gallery is pleased to announce that we will hold the solo exhibition "A Lie is a Crease that Cannot be Smoothed" by artist Zhang Ke on August 27 in Hefei Space. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in KeYi Gallery. Curated by Zhang Wenyi, the exhibition will carefully present more than 20 paintings by Zhang Ke in the past year.

Zhang Ke's works take "ways of seeing and knowing" as the starting point, disassembling, reconstructing and juxtaposing traditional items, depicting the original texture and characteristics unique to the elements through painting techniques, placing them in contradiction and opposition, making contradictory fragments resonate silently with each other, and expressing personal doubts and beliefs generated by the long-term gaze of daily life.

In terms of creating illusions, she is influenced by the stop-motion animation artist Shi Yunmeyer. Imagination and prediction are the conditions for creating illusion, and discernible objects are the hotbeds for the fermentation of illusion. Her paintings show not only how prediction is formed but also the flaws and lies in the prediction formed by existing experience. Cognition is also closer to completeness through doubt.

In Zhang Ke's paintings, plants are often depicted with branches and leaves of no fixed species growing and decaying between objects, partly dead and partly increasing, which is a combination of contradictions and a complete existence, a long-term fixation on one's plight, and immediate satisfaction with simple happiness. The atmosphere of the picture is quiet and conflicting, composed of dots and light strokes, the boundary between objects is not divided by complete lines, and if a painting points to a particular fact, she will destroy it and bring it back into contradiction again.
