伯年艺术空间欣然宣布，将于2023年10月14日至11月14日推出青年艺术家李非凡的个展“而你的心游向远方”。本次展览由刘玥担任策展人，将集中呈现艺术家近年艺术实践中的十余幅布面、纸面丙烯与综合材料作品。
李非凡1995年出生于浙江，本科毕业于四川美术学院版画系，硕士毕业于四川美术学院油画系。不同于早年的版画创作，李非凡近年的绘画集中于纸面与布面之上，通过对记忆的重组寻找“当下”的回应，与此同时，探索丙烯颜料和画布材质影响画面肌理的多种可能性。
媒介剂的使用与丙烯的颜料特性，使他的作品中常出现充满流动性的笔触，层叠的半透明色彩和被打碎的错乱空间。对于绘画媒介与载体的斟酌，使其作品中的材质作为一种叙事方法——那个游移的、融化着或燃烧着的世界；在时间线上倾倒着，处于中立新生状态的世界；充满矛盾、危险但泛着美好的世界——所有意象因笔触与材质的建构而愈发成立。如《绘画游戏》中李非凡创造的第二层画面，正是那层流动的画布连接了外部空间与画中创作者的空间。
记忆会在某些特殊情境被唤起，而李非凡关注记忆中那些持续击中我们的时刻。当最初降临的瞬间经过时光的层层包裹后，细节的显影因时间的厚度而逐渐模糊，但我们仍然能在许多“当下”辨识出记忆的模糊轮廓。书写任何个人历史，都是为了书写“当下”，李非凡作品中对于记忆的描绘，同样是在生活的迷雾中触摸到记忆的轮廓，并寻找正发生着的指引。然而，这种描绘并非意在为“当下”建立确切的答案，而是通过绘画的剖析为生活建立一种体验与可能性。经验的交叠与重合，让那些瞬间以陌生化的形象出现，《理想后花园》与《Afflatus（神感）》系列作品中，那些被简化了面部、甚至遗失了面部的少年形象，就像是在记忆深处打转的旅人，人物因特征的丢失而与观者产生距离，但也正因特征的丢失，却似乎有了意有所指的载体。
在李非凡的作品中，我们可以无数次重历记忆中珍贵的时刻，并从私人的瞬间来到由此唤起的普世情感中。但当最初的瞬间以陌生的面貌再次降临，创作者的心并不沉溺于那早已截然不同的时光，而是顺着当下步伐的引力，游向真实所在的远方。
BONIAN SPACE is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition, When the Initial Moment Falls, by the emerging artist Li Feifan from October 14th to November 14th, 2023. Curated by Liu Yue, this exhibition will feature over ten paintings from the artist's recent practice.
Born in 1995 in Zhejiang, Li Feifan graduated from the Printmaking Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the Oil Painting Department at the same college. Different from his early printmaking practice, Li’s recent paintings focus on paper and canvas, searching for a feasible path in the present through the reorganization of memory, and explore the multiple possibilities of acrylic paint and canvas material affecting the texture of the picture.
The use of acrylic medium and the characteristics of acrylic paint make his paintings always full of fluid brushstrokes, layered translucent colors and chaotic spaces which are shattered. The consideration of painting media and carriers allows the materials in his works to serve as a narrative method - the world that wanders, melts or burns, the world that dumps on the timeline and in a state of neutral rebirth, the world full of contradictions, dangerous but wonderful world, and all the images become more established due to the construction of brushstrokes and materials. For example, it is the flowing second layer of the picture created by Li Feifan in Painting Game connects the external space with the space of the creator in the painting.
Memories are evoked in certain special situations, and Li Feifan focuses on those moments in memory that continue to hit us. When the initial moment is wrapped in layers of time, the development of details gradually becomes blurred because of the thickness of time, but we can still recognize the vague outline of memory in many recent moments.
Describing any personal history is to describe the present. The depict of memory in Li's works is also to touch the outline of memory in the fog of life, and looking for the guidance for what is happening in the present. However, this kind of depiction is not intended to establish an exact answer for the present, but to establish an experience and possibility for life through the analysis of painting. The overlapping of experiences make those moments appear as unfamiliar images. Those teenagers whose faces have been simplified or even lost in The Utopian Garden and Afflatus series seem to be the travelers spinning in the depths of memory, the character is distanced from the viewer due to the loss of characteristics, but it is also because of the loss of characteristics make it seems to have a carrier of meaning.
In Li Feifan's works, we can relive these precious moments countless times, and move from private memories to the universal emotions they evoke. But when the initial moment falls again with a strange appearance, the heart of the creator doesn’t indulge in that time that is actually completely different, but follows the gravity of the current pace and flows to the distance where the truth lies.
