可以画廊欣然宣布，将于9月26日在北京空间展出艺术家冉宇宵国内的第一场个展「此地无知」。展览将呈现冉宇宵2022-2023年的十余件新作，展期将持续至10月30日。
冉宇宵的画是他在当下的存在体验的一种记录，或者说一种再创作。他主要运用具象的语言在画布上去编排，来自不同文化空间、时间的图像和符号。而这样类似“拼贴画”的视觉编排从来都不是事先计划好的—— 他几乎不会为画做草图。有时候最先登场的会是某个夏天故乡永川的天空，有时候一大片空白的画布上，可能只有半个挂在图钉上的剪刀。冉宇宵很看重这样的“随想”方式，因为它们组成着他的“当下”，尽管这些“当下”往往指向的都是过去的东西。 然而如果说艺术家的画想强调什么，那就是：当图像慢慢在画面上堆砌累积的时候，它们原本携带的时间和空间的身份信息就没那么重要了。通过把图像语言从他们原有的语境中抽离，冉宇宵想用一种玩味的方式去挑战、质疑、颠覆我们对图像符号的意义的习惯性阅读。这样的创作方式自然会产生混乱以及一种逻辑上的缺失，但对冉宇宵而言，这种混乱未尝不是自己生活在当下社会环境体验的一种写实：“我们日常生活中体验到的种种秩序是因为相对于随机性，我们更倾向于规律，这是人类的天性。但如果画画也要无条件顺从这 一惯性，那未免就有点无趣了。”
冉宇宵既是作品的创作者，同时也是一个观众和一个批判人。所有存在于他画布上的图像都不是属于他的，因此它们的象征意义永远是流动、飘渺的；每一次被观看就是它们重获新生的一刻。
KeYi Gallery is pleased to announce that we will present artist Ran Yuxiao's first solo exhibition in China, "Ignorance Buried Here,” at the Beijing Space on September 26th. The exhibition will present more than ten new works by Ran Yuxiao from 2022 to 2023 and will run until October 30th.
Ran Yuxiao's paintings are a record of his existing experience in the present or a re-creation. He mainly uses figurative language to arrange images and symbols from different cultural Spaces and times on the canvas. And such "collage-like" visual arrangements are never planned in advance - he hardly ever sketches for the paintings. Sometimes, the first scene will be the sky in Yongchuan, his hometown, on a summer day, and sometimes, there will be a large blank canvas with only half a pair of scissors hanging on a thumbtack. Ran Yuxiao values such "random thoughts" very much because they constitute his "present", although these "present" often point to things in the past. However, if the artist's paintings emphasize anything, it is that as the images slowly accumulate on the picture, the identity information they originally carried in time and space becomes less important. By separating image languages from their original context, Ran Yuxiao wants to challenge, question, and subvert our habitual reading of the meaning of image symbols in a playful way. Such a way of creation will naturally produce chaos and a lack of logic, but for Ran Yuxiao, this chaos is not just a reality of his own living in the current social environment: "The order we experience in daily life is because we are more inclined to rule than randomness, which is human nature. But it would be a bit boring if the painting had to conform to this inertia unconditionally."
Ran Yuxiao is not only the creator of the work but also an audience and a critic. None of the images that exist on his canvas belong to him, so their symbolism is always fluid and ethereal. Every time they're seen, it's a moment of new life.
