展览简介

“我是谁?我从哪里来?我要到哪里去?”

古希腊哲学家柏拉图在两千多年前就提出了此哲学命题，展开对自我的探索。随着时间的推进，从浅显拙朴到精深微妙，人们对自我的理解不断发展。而作为自我认知的重点，人所不自知的部分被心理学家称之为“潜在我”和“背脊我”。如何探索这两个尚未被自知或他知的部分已逐渐成为当代人后知后觉的流行议题。

本次展览将展出艺术家肖颖、刘婷的作品，通过两位女性艺术家独特的感知视角和表现手法构建出她们眼中的“自我空间”。试着将自我认知的语境延伸，在波涛无尽处——那个没有界限、未知坐标的彼端，或许终于能看清自己的轮廓。

Introduction of the Exhibition

"Who Am I? Where did I come from? Where Am I going?" More than two thousand years ago, the ancient Greek philosopher Plato put forward this philosophical proposition when exploring the concept of SELF. Over the time, people’s understanding of the SELF continues to develop. As the focal point of self-cognition, the part of a person that he or she does not know is what psychologists call the "potential me" and the "back me." How to explore these two parts that have not yet been known by ourselves or byothers has gradually become a popular issue in modern people’s hindsight.

This exhibition features work made by artists Xiao Ying and Liu Ting, presenting the picture of their "self-space" through their unique perceptual perspectives and painting techniques. By extending the SELF in the context of self consciousness, we may finally be able to see ourselves in the boundless, unknown world.

艺术家刘婷

艺术家刘婷生于浙江，是西南大学美术学院硕士研究生，师从于著名画家马一丹。远赴云南高校执教10余年创作了大量油画作品。她的画多为表现主义，毫无功利色彩的女性视角，以及一种带有鲜明主体判断的超常色光运用。刘婷擅长肖像绘画，但其审美诉求并不止于“小我”表达，而试图建立一种与风物及价值的有效共振。虽为江南小女子其作却独显大家风范，用色大胆、技法成熟。

Liu Ting was born in Zhejiang province in 1981, a graduate from Southwest University whose tutor is Ma Yidan a famous contemporary artist, and has travelled to Yunnan for 10 years, a remote location of Chinese territory that inspired plentiful oil paintings from her. In Liu’s expressionistic work there is a utility-free feminine perspective and a super-natural expression of light and color with a strong subjective connotation. Liu paints portraits with an aesthetic pursuit that transcends individualism and embraces scenery and values. Though a petite woman herself, her artworks present bold use of color and maturity.

In 2015, Liu Ting won the Tomiichi Murayama Award--the highest award in Tokyo International Art Fair which took place in Tokyo National Museum. She was warmly received by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of Japan and then visited the Diet of Japan after the exhibition. The exhibitor also published a profile of Chinese and Japanese artists in the Japanese magazine "Art World" where Liu Ting covers two pages.
