当代唐人艺术中心荣幸地宣布将于2019年1月4日，在香港空间首次呈现艺术家申玲的个展《浮游》。展览由知名策展人罗兰・艾格及李恩美担任策展人。《浮游》将突出申玲的图像世界，这是基于她对人性的复杂所产生的敏感、诗意与同情的理解。

申玲的素描中包含了一种看似无思无虑的，如游戏般轻盈的天真，和一种看似自发的偶然性和片断性。在充满智性、诙谐与讽刺的同时，又表现出一种丰沛到极致的感性。日常生活里的琐屑微尘常出现在她的素描中：动物和植物、家居用品和画室用具、身边亲近熟悉的朋友、咖啡馆里或大街上遇到的陌生人、老照片、饰品、住宅内的陈设、花园里栖息枝头的鸟、爱人或朋友的肖像，所有这些都以一种极不寻常的，打破等级次序的新鲜方式相互堆栈 - 无限的事物，被悉数纳入到一个极其个人化的、虚构的、童话般的、在情绪上具有连贯性的微观宇宙之内，并由此而被赋予了某种诗意。那种显而易见且富有诗意的一致性，源于艺术家个人与瞬息万变、支离破碎的微观现实之间情感联系的深度与强度。

艺术家创造出一个杂沓密集的绘画现实，在这里，各种含有非理性或童话成分的叙事元素并不遵从某种等级森严的、预先设定好的绝对秩序。在那些树木和花朵背后，出没于五彩缤纷的丛林之中的动物、野猫、鸟、鱼和蛇，扰乱了我们的空间感知，混淆了虚拟的图像现实内部的方位感。这种虚构的、密集的、妖冶瑰丽而又神秘叵测的图像空间吸引着观者。这种游戏般的欢愉，和五彩斑斓的轻快活泼，是一种在任何叙事或具体而微的事物中都能感受得到的活力。以感性方式呈现具体而微的事物时所达到的深度，令申玲的作品充满了活力。她的作品中不存在任何通过图像而被诉诸视觉的叙事，而是藉由绘画本身生成的一系列通过构图被构建出来的形形色色的图像事件。

申玲图像世界中的动机所折射出的紧凑性，模糊了潜在的和想象中的图像现实的各构成元素之间的界限，因而这一图像现实只能在整体的视觉隐喻和叙事的语境中得以阐释。「存在」之一致性那种难以抗拒的具体而微，在申玲的那些妖冶魅惑而又天真自然的图像中，体现为一种欢快、自洽、充满诗意的本质。她的绘画宇宙与她对具体而微的事物和生命整体的本质意义敏锐而又富于同理心的诘问，以及她对幽微复杂的人性的反讽和批判性的阐释联系在一起。这种复杂性是由日常生活中渺小却实在的，看似微不足道的短暂瞬间，由人与人之间飘忽不定的关系，以及作为真实体验或心理投射的场景，梦幻与想象所组成的。

Tang Contemporary Art Hong Kong is proud to announce the opening of Shen Ling’s solo exhibition “Intensity of Concreteness”. The exhibition will present series of oil paintings and works on paper by celebrated Chinese female artist Shen Ling and highlight artist's pictorial universe that is based on her sensitive, poetical, empathic interpretation of human complexity.
Her drawings seem to have a free and lighthearted innocence, and a spontaneous sense of chance and fragmentation. The trivial minutiae of everyday life often appear in her drawings. Animals and plants, housewares and studio tools, intimate friends, strangers encountered in a coffee shop or on the street, old photographs, decorative items, home furnishings, birds resting on branches in a garden, and portraits of her spouse or friends - all of this is layered in a very unusual, fresh way that breaks through genre hierarchies. This infinite array of things is fully incorporated into an extremely personalized, fictional, and almost fairytale micro-universe with an emotional continuity that is, as a result, imbued with a sense of poetry. This obvious, poetic coherence stems from the depth and strength of the artist’s personal emotional relationships to fast-changing, fragmented microscopic realities.
《一树昏鸦》，布面油画，100 x 100 cm，2018
Black Crows On A Tree, Oil on canvas, 100 x 100 cm, 2018
Shen Ling shapes a confusing, concentrated painted reality; here, various narrative elements with irrational or fairytale aspects do not follow an absolute sequence with a strict order established in advance. In multi-coloured forests, animals, feral cats, birds, fish, and snakes are faintly visible behind the trees and flowers, disordering our spatial perceptions and confusing their position within fictional pictorial reality. This fictional, concentrated, seductive, magnificent, mysterious, and unpredictable pictorial space attracts the viewers. This playful delight and colorful liveliness come from the infinite vitality of the coherence of existence, which is vitality that you can perceive in any narrative or small thing. Shen Ling achieves depth when presenting small things in a perceptive way, filling her works with vitality, even though she avoids making any literary or spectacular representation of a story or linear narrative process. Her work does not contain any visual narrative that can appeal to the viewer through pictures, thereby generating from painting itself a series of pictorial events that are constructed through pictures and compositions.
The motivations in Shen Ling’s depictive representation are reflected in microcosms in which the compactness blurs the latent boundaries between compositional elements of pictorial realities in her imagination, so they can only be explained in the overall visual contexts of metaphors and narratives. The irresistible smallness of the coherence of existence is embodied as the lively, harmonious, and poetic essence of Shen Ling’s seductive yet innocent and natural images. Shen Ling’s painted universe and her keen, empathetic questioning of the small things and the essential meaning of life itself are connected to her satires and critical interpretations of the vague complexity of human nature.

《容易又秋风》，布面油画，200 x 200 cm，2013
Autumn Wind, Oil on canvas, 200 x 200 cm, 2013
作为绘画中新表现主义的杰出代表，申玲凭借其精妙的绘画手法，于非凡的绘画论述内部，在心理-文学-情感层面构建起一种本真、当下的，同时又带有批判和反讽意味的图像现实，它同一种被体验、实现和内化了的生命整体的隐喻直接相关。她对世界的看法，更多地表现为对世间万物在触手可及、具体而微的现实中所呈现出的琐碎、驳杂、多样的整体性的一种充满喜悦的肯定。

ABOUT ARTIST
Shen Ling was born in 1965 in Liaoning Province, China. In 1985, she graduated from the Afflicted High School to Central Academy of Fine Arts, and in 1989, she received her bachelor degree from the Oil Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts where she is currently working.
Within extraordinary discussions of painting, Shen Ling relies on unusual painting methods to build an essential, current pictorial reality that also has critical and satirical elements on a psychological-literary-emotional level; her work is similarly directly related to metaphors of lived entities that are experienced, realized, and internalized. Her views on the world are more often expressed as a joyful affirmation of the trivial, heterogenous, and diverse facets possessed by all things in this tangible, miniature reality.
