凱旋主義是中國藝術家邢俊勤和澳大利亞藝術家伊恩·霍華德的聯展。兩位藝術家都通過其實驗性作品探索世界，試圖“描繪”我們這個時代的感受、價值觀和精神。
對大都市的信心
邢俊勤的作品強調文化與軍事題材的融合——槍炮和玫瑰，豐富的印象派風景和其他被迷彩圖案完全偽裝的風景。歷史上的西方文化偶像與當今中國力量的象徵並置、融合在一起。郉俊勤將反差極大的、甚至矛盾的圖像與自信和輕鬆相互結合，展示了某種可能的新現實。個人、建築甚至景觀都整合在一個對美好未來的綜合願景中。

個人的不確定性
霍華德的作品描述了這樣一個典型的傲慢而不是謙卑的時代，吹噓個人主義而不是關心人類的困境以及推廣名人似乎比社區福祉更重要的時代。這些都是現代大都市的特徵，個人不太確定自己的角色和身份。歷史變得不確定，未來充滿了焦慮。
這種源於凱旋主義的自信和焦慮的二分法並不是均勻地分佈于東西方，也不從屬於西方或東方的哲學。它的特徵和影響存在於跨文化、政治制度、國家和全球媒體運作中。這是一個普遍現象，個人必須在其中判斷自己的位置和通道。
霍華德作品
顯而易見，兩位藝術家都來自不同的文化和藝術背景，然而都以堅定的全球性視野積極地面對21世紀的成就與挑戰。
在這個展覽中，邢俊勤和霍華德的作品圍繞著凱旋主義提供了一面探索和質疑的鏡子，凱旋主義本身經常依靠圖像來傳達其強大的資訊。（文:伊恩·霍華德，譯:晉華）
Invitation Letter
Exhibition：TRIUMPHALISM
Artists：Ian Howard, Xing Junqin
Duration：Aug 13, 2023-Sep 11, 2023
Opening：3pm, Aug 13, 2023
Venue：798 International Art Exchange Center
TRIUMPHALISM is a joint exhibition of Australian artist, Ian Howard and Chinese artist, Xing Junqin. Both explore the world via experimental artworks that attempt to ‘picture’ the feelings, values, and ethos of our time.
Uncertainty for the Individual
Howard's artworks describe an era that is typically characterised by hubris rather than humility, boasts of individualism rather than concern for the plight of humanity, and the promotion of celebrity seemingly a higher priority than the well-being of communities. These are the characteristics of the modern metropolis where individuals are less certain of their role and identity. History is rendered uncertain, the future redolent with anxiety.
Howard's artworks
Confidence in the Metropolis
Xing's artworks address the integration of culture and the military- of guns and roses, of landscapes that are richly impressionistic and others that are totally disguised by camouflage pattern. Historic Western cultural icons are juxtaposed, integrated, with symbols of today’s Chinese power. Xing combines contrasting, even contradictory images with confidence and ease showing a possible new reality. Individuals, buildings, even landscapes fit into an integrated vision of a positive future.
Xing Junqin's artworks
This dichotomy of- confidence and anxiety- that emerges from TRIUMPHALISM, is not neatly distributed East and West, or attributable to Western or Eastern philosophies. Its characteristics and impacts exist across cultures, political systems, nations, and global media operations. It is a universal phenomenon within which individuals must negotiate their place and passage.
Clearly, each artist comes from a widely different cultural and artistic origin and yet both embrace a decidedly universal view of the world and its achievements, as well as challenges in the 21st Century.
In this exhibition, the artworks of Xing and Howard turn an explorative and enquiringmirror upon TRIUMPHALISM which has itself often relied upon images to convey its powerful message. (Written by Ian Howar)

伊恩•霍華德
伊恩•霍華德教授是一位澳大利亞藝術家以及雪梨新南威爾士大學藝術設計係的學術人士，該係原名為美術學院。他從1998年至2013年擔任該院院長。此前，伊恩在布裏斯班的格裏菲斯大學美術學院擔任院長。他在雪梨獲得美術教育本科文憑、在倫敦獲得電影電視高級研究碩士文憑，在蒙特利爾獲得美術學碩士學位。
他的創作始終關注平民與軍事機構之間的文化關係，其主題包括邊界、城墻、障礙物以及武裝車輛，特別是戰機、戰車和軍艦。
在闡述自己的拓印技法被用於‘直接媒介’時，伊恩質疑這種一對一的關係，既主題與作品圖像意味著每件作品是否都包含著一個‘現實主義的統一’。這種一對一的關係包括對該主題在實際尺寸、地點與實時運作的表現。
在文化環境中展示中，這種現實主義是自我溝通與具有內在表現力的。它要求觀看者，而非藝術家，有意願和能力對所看到的做出主觀判斷。這種對圖像判斷，獨立於文本之外，是視覺藝術傳達資訊和經歷的一種特殊方法。
伊恩•霍華德教授在世界範圍內創作並且舉辦展覽。他和郉俊勤共同創作並且舉辦展覽已近20年時間。
IAN HOWARD
Professor Ian Howard is an Australian artist and academic at UNSW Sydney, Faculty of Art & Design, previously known as the College of Fine Arts, (COFA). He was Dean of the College from 1998 till 2013 and prior to that, Ian was Provost and Director of the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University in Brisbane. He trained in Sydney (Diploma of Art Education), London (Graduate Diploma of Advanced Studies, Film and Television) and Montreal (Master of Fine Arts).
His artwork progresses a cultural relationship between civilians and military institutions with a concentration on borders, walls and barriers as well as enforcing vehicles, particularly aircraft, armored vehicles and ships.
Describing his rubbing technique as ‘direct-media’ he argues that the one to one relationship the subject has with the artwork image means each work contains an ‘integrity of realism’. This one to one relationship includes representation at actual scale, on location, and within the real time operation of that subject matter.
Exhibited in a cultural setting, this realism is self-communicating and inherently expressive. It requires of the viewer, not the artist, a willingness and capacity to make interpretive judgments. This interpretation of the image, independent of text, is the special way visual art conveys information and experience.
Professor Ian Howard works and exhibits internationally. He and General Xing have collaborated on artworks and exhibitions for approximately twenty years.
