北京藝門畫廊誠邀您參加2009年8月15日(週六)下午2-6點的印尼藝術家艾柯•努格羅荷（Eko Nugroho）在北京藝門畫廊舉辦的個展開幕式。
藝術家自述:
“光越是強烈的地方，陰影就越是深邃”（德國詩人歌德）
艾柯•努格羅荷最近一些作品，以陰影為最重要的藝術表現元素之一，對其基本思想進行了探索，而本次展覽就是對這些作品所作的一種概念延伸。自2008年底以來，艾柯•努格羅荷的創作進入了一個新領域，創作合作作品加入皮影戲的表演。 努格羅荷由此開始發現利用陰影概念來創造新視覺形象的許多嶄新的可能性。
在其職業生涯早期，努格羅荷曾長期以其獨特而真實的漫畫人物出名。這些人物被看作是藝術家的一種審美表達。把人體和一些奇怪的東西相結合，比如UFO，機器，動物等，反映了他對於表現幻想和非常之物的興趣。他同時也對於以一個印尼人的身份探索當地的環境感興趣，尤其是他生活的城市——日惹。
這一系列陰影作品讓他深入探索明與暗、真實與非真實之間的東西。“我想看看光對於物體的重要性到底在哪。有光我們就會看到一些不同的東西，所以物體有一種視覺錯覺。光與暗之間的地方是我最喜歡的。我對黑色進行不同的探索——它不是作為一種純粹的色彩，而是作為陰影的一種存在。”

Opening Reception for Indonesian artist Nugroho’s Solo Exhibit at Pékin Fine Arts: Aug 15, 2009, from 2 to 6 pm. ALL WELCOME!
Artist’s Statement:
“Where there is much light, the shadow is deep” (Goethe, German Poet)
This exhibit continues as an extension of the concepts developed by Eko Nugroho’s in his latest series of works, focusing on the basic idea of shadows as one of the most important artistic elements. Since the end of 2008, Eko has entered a new territory in his creative process by creating collaborative works performed in a shadow puppet performance. From this perspective, Nugroho started to see many new possibilities to create a new visual imagery by working with the idea of “shadow”.
For much of his artistic career, Nugroho has been identified with his unique and genuinely comical figures as his aesthetic statement. The combination of the human body with something strange such as UFO, machines, animals, reveals his interest to talk about fantasy and something uncommon. He is also interested in exploring his local context from his background as an Indonesian, particularly from Yogyakarta, the city where he lives.
This shadow project enabled him to investigate objects in between the dark and the light, also real and unreal. “I am interested to see what is the importance of light cast on objects. By the light, we see something differently, so there is a visual illusion of the object. I like to play in the area between the darkness and the light. I explore the black color differently, not as a pure color, but as the existence of shadow.”
