MASSIMODECARLO最新带来中国艺术家阎平的最新个展《静默中的奔放》。作为中国最具影响力的女画家之一，阎平的艺术生涯有着深厚的时代意义，她经历了中国社会发展进程中特殊时期的岁月，以及上世纪70年代初下乡插队所经历的清苦的生活。独特之处在于，阎平一直以乐观而豁达的心态面对苦难和哀伤的岁月。这种洒脱的状态无疑贯穿于她在各个阶段的系列创作中，源自于个人的生活体验及对中国社会生活的观察亦成为她作品中隐含着的一个重要主题。
此次的展览作品《心里的翅膀》是阎平的最近新作，「深夏又到了小城的工作室看到院子里满目的花开，那一刻耳朵有一种万物融在一起的轰鸣声消失在了天边。静悄悄的世界，眼中只有花开的惊奇，耳朵听到了枝蔓的伸展，弥漫整个上空的花香让我只能想着画画的事情，什么俄乌局势，新冠疫情，核酸检测都远远的消退了。满园子花的枝蔓都相互较量着向上升腾，而因为披挂着叶子和枝梢上的花朵，使那些枝蔓微微弯下，犹如我心中隐形的翅膀。」

Yanping’s creative process often involves using models, which is her preferred way of painting. At the same time, her observation and capture of the dynamics of these models directly influence the themes of her works. Created in 2016, “In the Studio in Greece” depicts the scene of her sketching in a rented studio during a study trip to Greece before the pandemic. The unique atmosphere of the local models in the painting inspired her with a different creative inspiration.
In his series of paintings “The Boy Leading the Horse” and “On the Top of the Mountain”, Yan Ping used heavy ink lines, which formed a lively and elegant atmosphere, conveying the essence of Chinese calligraphy. At the same time, they also have exaggerated spatial arrangements, where figures and spaces seem to be distorted into a dreamlike state, brimming with surreal imagination.
This time, four floral works will set the tone of the entire exhibition in a lively and joyful atmosphere, with distinct brushstrokes intertwining in short and long strokes. Bright colors, the entanglement of sapphire blue and pink, are filled with hope, freedom, and a sense of abandon. Yan Ping describes it as follows: “Every time I paint flowers, it is a spiritual cleansing. In the past years, when I am unhappy or mentally exhausted, I would buy a bunch of flowers for myself, temporarily isolating myself from the outside world and staying with the flowers, feeling the secrets of time and feeling safe.”
