This exhibition features four artists who explore four topics – landscapes, cracks, true self and ‘deliberate artificiality’, and self and symbiosis – to echo the preciousness and splendor of life. Zhang Tianjun’s depictions of natural landscapes are not only a spiritual sustenance but also a yearning for nature, allowing nature and spirit to reconcile. Yu Ruojie, in today’s materialized and symbolized society, after the development of technology, with the overflow of information, the explosion of new media, and the opening of the intelligent era, presents a surreal picture of post-humans. The real is weakened, simulacra are satisfied, and everything can be a simulacrum. The value of the real and the real world are ignored, and people also lose their judgment of reality and are disciplined by the definitions of the simulacrum world. She discusses whether the original true self is meaningful. Zhu Liqing’s crack series seems to respond to various emotions arising from trauma. It not only contains various body movements and emotional expressions in expressionist paintings but also experiments with the materiality and form of art in the contemporary sense while not forgetting to express the unconscious emotions of her own personal subjectivity. Wang Qiqi’s creations take grotesque bodies as clues to interrogate life and existence. In the works, the body, in an abnormal state of combination, deformation, and not yet closed, opens a disorderly window and becomes a creature wandering on the boundary. It continuously transcends itself and its limits, searching for the vitality of life in the face of the irrational in the folds and cracks of the world. For life, there is hope in infinite possibilities, in generating cycles and ripples with the universe, nature, the inner self, and you and me, and eventually returning to calm.
