紅門畫廊將舉辦王利豐個人作品展，在此次展覽上，將展出藝術家運用新材料、新方法創作的最新作品。
紅門畫廊將於2007年9月1日至23日在東便門角樓展出王利豐的最新作品 – 大明。參展作品展示了藝術家運用全新及創新的手法與技術，展示其作品與中國傳統視覺表達手法的聯繫，和藝術家找尋在當代藝術作品自我表現上的無窮的想像力。
王利豐在大明系列的作品上利用中國傳統的墨增加了新感覺和感官氛圍，使墨與混合材料的作品浸在一起，以製成墨雕。藝術家自己製作墨；過程艱苦又繁瑣，其中摻雜了傳統的成分：如燈黑、膠和丁香。然後，再把帶有強烈刺激氣味的混合物倒入模具中，與青銅相結合。待墨凝固後，藝術家所想像的明代傢具的浮雕也就製成了。墨雕作品向外伸展，獨特的墨香飄逸于作品周圍。
王利豐與紅門畫廊合作長達十六年之久，並且一直沿襲自己一貫的風格。避開其他藝術類別及派生物，他一直成功地把個人的、中國古典視覺表達方式的片斷印象轉換為自己後現代的風格。

Red Gate Presents Wang Lifeng’s Latest Work in Groundbreaking, New Medium
BEIJING August 7, 2007 – Artist Wang Lifeng will exhibit his new show, The Great Ming Dynasty, at Red Gate Gallery’s Watchtower location from September 1 - 29, 2007. His latest work debuts his new, innovative medium that both demonstrates his connection to traditional Chinese visual expression as well as his boundless imagination in searching for new vehicles for contemporary self-expression.
Wang Lifeng has added new dimension and sensory ambiance to his Great Ming Dynasty series by incorporating mò (墨), or Chinese ink, in solid form, imbuing his mixed media pieces with a mysterious, sculptural quality. Wang makes the ink himself; in a laborious process, he blends the traditional ingredients: lampblack, gelatine and cloves. He then casts the pungent mixture into moulds, combining this medium with bronze. The ink solidifies to produce high-reliefs of his imagined Ming Dynasty furnishings. The resulting creations extend into the viewers’ space, and the unique scent of the ink is palpable.
Wang Lifeng has worked with Red Gate for over 16 years and has a stylistic trajectory all his own. Eschewing Pop Art derivatives, he has successfully translated his personal, fragmented impressions of classical Chinese visual expression into his signature Post-Modern idiom.
