星美术馆将于2023年8月27日呈现《艺术家谱系研究之十五 张慧绘画研究》。本次展览将展出张慧2023年15件最新的油画作品，展览持续至10月18日。
张慧是本世纪初中国当代重要艺术运动“后感性”的主要参与者之一。他毕业于中央戏剧学院舞台美术系，早期以戏剧及行为实践被社会认知。2007年始，张慧开始了从剧场向绘画的转变。十余年来，艺术家作为“画家”的身份逐渐清晰，而剧场的人物与空间仍在绘画中迂回复现。
近年来，张慧大胆地展开了对于绘画边界的研究和探索。他对贯穿中国东北大地、见证中国近现代历史的“中东铁路”进行了回顾性的行走与审思。路途中的许多人、物、空间成为其绘画的主要对象，譬如《富拉尔基（布朗库西）》中关于新中国现代化开端的描述，以及众多模糊不可辨认的历史人物面孔。这场沿着铁道的行走来到星美术馆，为阅读张慧绘画提供了又一层全新的语境。
本次展览将以张慧最新的绘画创作为研究案例。历经对绘画的基本要素（如色彩、结构、主体、造型等）的推敲，张慧尽力使他的绘画显现一种＂拙”的状态，有意识地、主动自觉地与“美”保持一定的距离并与之形成相互审视的关系。对当下共识的审美和逻辑提出新的问题，也许即是张慧的艺术最鲜明的价值之一。
Start Museum is pleased to present new exhibition Genealogy Study of Artists No. 15 Zhang Hui On Painting from August 27th to October 18th, 2023.
Zhang Hui was one of the main participants in the «Post-Sense Sensibility” - an important contemporary art movement in China at the beginning of this century. He graduated from the Department of Stage Design at the Central Academy of Drama, and was recognized by the public for his drama and performance practice in the early days. Beginning in 2007, Zhang Hui began to transform his practice from theater to painting. Over the past ten years, the identity of the artist as a “painter” has become more and more clear, while the characters and spaces of the theater are still reappearing in paintings.
In recent years, Zhang Hui has boldly carried out the research and exploration on the boundaries of painting. He retrospectively walked and considered the “ Middle East Railway” that runs through the land of Northeast China and witnessed China’s modern history. Many figures, objects, and spaces along the road have become the main subjects of his paintings. Zhang Hui takes his walking as a clue to provide a personal and artistic understanding of the process of modernization. The 15 paintings respond to the three progressive elements of “ reality”, “planning and transformation” and “new reality”, presenting Zhang Hui’s profound thinking as an experiencer and observer of the times.
This exhibition will take Zhang Hui’s latest painting creation as a study case. After deliberating the basic elements of painting (such as color, structure, subject, shape, etc.), Zhang Hui has brought his painting back to a state that can be called “clumsy”, that is, consciously keeping a relative distance from the so-called «beauty». Raising new questions about the aesthetics and logic of the current consensus may be one of the most distinctive values of Zhang Hui’s art.
