The curator of the exhibition, Dr. Zhang Bolin, introduced the works of the participating artists one by one: Mr. Pu Jie is a famous Chinese contemporary artist, whose works are collected in European and American art museums, as well as private collectors, and is an internationally influential Chinese contemporary artist and a witness of Chinese contemporary art galleriesHis work connects China's past and present, domestic and international, including the theoretical level, and has a unique influence on Chinese contemporary art. Mr. Kang Shixin graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Fine Arts, with a master's degree, and his work style is the contemporary cultural practice of nature, warmth, and trendy significance, and the fashion and inner spirit of contemporary painting. As one of the representative figures of local artists, Mr. Shen Zhimin's works implant the conceptual consciousness of abstract painting with the calligraphy of calligraphy, and have a spiritual imagination that makes people reverie. Mr. Wu Qian is an intermediate force in contemporary art in China, and his abstract expression with oriental connotations is the main line, and he is active in today's art world, which is impressive. Mr. Zhu Dan takes primitiveness and popularity as the main line, runs through the concept of creation, and expresses his unique artistic thinking. This exhibition embodies the broadness with delicacy, and contains the practice and experience of Chinese contemporary art in different periodsIt is worth mentioning that this exhibition also exhibits the visual integration of ancient pottery, painting and pottery, with the aim of introducing cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, contemporaneity and new visual experience, which is the main academic significance of this exhibition.
Ms. Lu Rongzhi, an internationally renowned curator and special guest at the opening ceremony, believes that this exhibition can be summed up by the term "maximal aesthetics", in addition to the conceptual meaning of contemporary works, there are also ancient pottery with ancient style, and works like Mr. Zhang Bolin's works are deeply influenced by the current AI multiculturalismJust as contemporary art has evolved from experiment to concept, it has long been an important cultural status quo that cannot be ignored today.
Mr. Liu Huan believes that since the establishment of "Yes Yixuan Gallery", it has always been affirmed by supporters for their long-term care, support and enthusiasm for the gallery, and he would like to take this opportunity to thank him for itUndoubtedly, this exhibition would like to thank the curator Dr. Zhang Bolin for his work, especially the famous artist Mr. Pu Jie for his practical support to this exhibition, the critic Mr. Qi Guo for his academic criticism, Mr. Zheng Yongying for the implementation and practical help of the exhibition, and the guests who came to the site for their supportTherefore, "Yes Yixuan Gallery" is the result of your support;Art is not unattainable, but life and reality, as well as caring and common pursuit, and has various internal relationships with us.
As the academic host of this exhibition, Professor Pu Jie believes that Xiamen is a beautiful and culturally rich city, and it is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese contemporary artFor example, Mr. Huang Yongping, as a representative of "Xiamen Dada", has influenced Chinese contemporary art to this dayAs a gallery, it is actually a cultural fantasy today, but focusing on the contemporary is even more beautiful in fantasy, because it is related to our real life situation, cultural trends, meaning and purpose, and even the vision of the future. As far as people are concerned, the contemporary is a state of consciousness between inner and external, reality and fantasy, and on the whole it is an idealistic social attitude, and it is this attitude that makes people with illusions and people with hope walk together and share the present, in this sense, as a contemporary gallery, it is both fantasy and ideal, and has the cultural possibility of modern historical significance, no matter what, it is a pure spiritual pursuit;As the curator of this exhibition, Dr. Zhang Bolin is an art social practice activity with subject research, so it is compatible with academic and conceptual, theory and works, ability and society, and in this regard, this exhibition has a special academic thinking for him.
Finally, Mr. Qi Guo, the critic of this exhibition, believes that Mr. Liu Huan's gallery has a unique aesthetic concept;Mr. Pu Jie's works have always had their own logic and system, purely conceptual contemporary, and his art has always had a unique social influence since the 80s of Chinese contemporary artMr. Kang Shixin's works are a combination of locality and contemporaneity, full of the contemporaneity of ** culture;It can be seen that Mr. Shen Zhimin's works have always been thinking about the current situation of ink culture, and have made great efforts to achieve this, and the results are also visible. Zhang Bolin's works seem to be situational, but there is a great spiritual aura behind it, and it is not difficult to see that the work implies a certain deep thinking about Western culture and art, but it is also a local expression of the Chinese Chinese context;As a manifestation of the humanistic living environment, it is full of life experience and cultural speculation, which is the existential conflict and cultural conflict we are facing, including the current era of artificial intelligence and images, which is a new living environment, and this is precisely the cultural charm given by his art. It is the spiritual framework of the above works that gives this exhibition a unique cultural reflection and spiritual orientation. Finally, congratulations on the successful opening of the exhibition "The Realm of the Gaze".

According to the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, the gaze is the visual act of seeing and being seen, which constructs a binary opposition between the subject and the other. The viewer's gaze at a work of art is enough to gain insight into the expression of human thought and culture. This exhibition, entitled "The Realm of Gaze", specially invites the famous contemporary artist Mr. Pu Jie as the academic host, and the famous contemporary poet Mr. Qi Guo as the critic, and works of five cross-generation artists, Kang Shixin, Shen Zhimin, Wu Qian, Zhang Bolin and Zhu Dan, are exhibited at the same time as Gaogu pottery. Although they were born in different years and have different artistic characteristics, they show our common cultural origin and current situation, so it is a convergence of cultural consciousness and national self-confidence. Today, with the rapid development of digitalization and artificial intelligence, artists' personal experiences and cultural attitudes have also changed, but art remains a bridge between the past, present and future, and is crucial.
french psychoanalyst jacques lacan believed that gazing is a visual act of the relationship between seeing and being seen, which constructs a binary opposition between the subject and the other. the viewer's gaze at the artwork is sufficient to gain insight into the expression of human thought and culture. the exhibition, titled "gazing at the realm," specially invites renowned contemporary artist mr. pu jie as the academic host, and renowned contemporary poet mr. qi guo as the critic. together with the works of five cross generational artists, kang shixin, shen zhimin, wu qian, zhang bolin, and zhu dan, the exhibition will be exhibited simultaneously with ancient pottery. although they were born in different eras and h**e significant differences in artistic traits, they reveal our common cultural origins and current situation, thus a fusion of cultural consciousness and national confidence. nowadays, with the rapid development of digitization and artificial intelligence, the personal experiences and cultural attitudes of artists h**e also changed. however, art still serves as a bridge connecting the past, present, and future, and is crucial.
As Martin Heidegger put it, "Beauty is a way of appearing as an unconcealed truth". The truth of art is not only about visual beauty, but also about deep emotions and thoughts. The reason why art can transcend time and space and penetrate into people's hearts is that the truthful meaning it carries has eternal value. Art is a collection of human emotions and wisdom, and it is also the embodiment of common humanity, as well as a profound philosophical reflection on life, dreams and existence. Therefore, every encounter and gaze with art is a perceptual experience;It is a dialogue of human emotions, thoughts, and cultural cognition. Despite the ever-changing external world, art remains an eternal world of the mind, representing the ultimate pursuit of human beings, which is precisely what "man poetically dwells" (Heidegger's phrase).
as martin heidegger put it, "beauty is a way of appearing as an unobstructed truth.". the truth of art lies not only in visual beauty, but also in conveying deep emotions and thoughts. the reason why art can transcend time and space and deeply penetrate people's hearts is because the truth and meaning it carries h**e eternal value. art gathers human emotions and wisdom, and is a reflection of common humanity. it is also a profound philosophical reflection on life, dreams, and existence. so, every encounter and gaze with art is a sensory experience; it is a dialogue between human emotions, thoughts, and cultural cognition. despite the ever-changing external world, art remains an eternal and unchanging spiritual world, representing the ultimate pursuit of humanity, which is precisely the meaning expressed by "human poetic dwelling" (heidegger language).One person cheers for the graduate school entrance examination
