伯年艺术空间欣然宣布,将于2023年9月16日至10月10日期间推出青年艺术家赵唯的首次个展“秋天的故事”,本次展览由刘玥担任策展人,将集中呈现艺术家新近艺术实践中的十余幅布面油画作品。

赵唯1995年出生于浙江,本科毕业于中央美术学院,硕士毕业于美国芝加哥艺术学院建筑学专业。攻读领域的跨越,使赵唯的艺术创作聚焦于建筑空间的情感诉说,在二维画布上营造着建筑空间的性格,并构建记忆痕迹的隐晦叙述。

赵唯捕捉并渲染“营造”而非“建筑”的过程。有别于室内建筑所强调的功能性,赵唯在作品中搭建的空间,融合了她对于生命力的微妙理解。这是一种沉稳的、身心一致的谋划,使建筑脱离了冰冷的钢筋水泥的概念,成为充满故事和视觉凝视的生活空间,同时也是与人的痕迹息息相关的心理空间。无论是摊开或虚掩的书页,还是沙发上慵懒的褶皱、床头暗许的光影,这些碎片都像一场拼图游戏,使得许多悬而未决的轻盈瞬间悄悄停滞了——模糊的边缘线所引发的美丽的静默,唤起观者底层记忆中的影像感知。

秋天的故事,是艺术家下笔时刻的心绪,是从空间记忆中蜿蜒出的、未曾在场的人物的心绪。当这段思绪透过笔触蔓延进画面的每处光影,我们也和故事中或显或隐的一切相知相遇。那些默默流动的、模棱两可的想象,和光线的温度一起聚集,希望能在这个秋日勾勒属于你的故事。


BONIAN SPACE is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition, Conte d'automne, by the emerging artist Zhao Wei from September 16th to October 10th, 2023, which is also Zhao's first solo exhibition. Curated by Liu Yue, the exhibition will feature over ten paintings from the artist's recent practice.

Born in 1995 in Zhejiang, Zhao Wei graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in architecture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The leap of study fields has made Zhao Wei's artistic creation focus on the emotional expression of architectural space, creating the character of architectural space and constructing an obscure narrative of memory traces on a two-dimensional canvas.

Zhao Wei captures and renders the process of "creating" rather than "building." Unlike the functionality that is emphasized in interior architecture, the space created by Zhao Wei in her works incorporates her subtle understanding of vitality. It is a calm pursuit and planning, which requires the unity of body and mind. It separates the buildings from the concept of cold reinforced concrete and becomes a living space full of stories and visual gaze, a psychological space closely related to human traces. Whether it is the pages of a book that are open or closed, the lazy folds on the sofa, or the dim light and shadow on the bedside, these fragments are like a jigsaw puzzle, causing many unresolved light moments to come to a standstill quietly, the beautiful silence caused by the blurred edge lines evokes the image perception in the viewer's underlying memory.

Conte d’automne, is the artist's mood at the moment of painting, and it is also the mood of the characters who were not present, but meandering out of the spatial memory. When this thought spreads into every light and shadow of the painting through brush strokes, we also know and meet everything obvious or hidden in the story. Those silently flowing, ambiguous imaginations gather together with the temperature of the light, hoping to outline your story in this autumn.
