沒什麼大不了
王能濤作品展
精藝軒畫廊
香港中環嘉咸街35號地舖
展覽日期：2007年8月3日至24日
開幕時間：2007年8月3日（星期五）下午6時30分至8時30分
藝術家將出席開幕酒會
王能濤的版畫記錄著現今中國的一些生活態度，一些正在日漸消失的精神面貌，和他個人的期望。王試圖保留下敢於面對人生的積極性，與承擔現況的責任感。
版面安排有點接近上世紀六、七十年代常見的國內政治宣傳畫，王嘗試用新的顏色及新的手法去打開局面，開拓時代感；作品中人物的臉上都被披上遭磨壓出來的歷史痕蹟，他們的肯定目光在告訴觀眾他們在肩負著任務。
他的創作標語包括：“從小有理想”、”一怕不苦，二怕不死“、“向前看”、“一定超過美國”、“一切會好的”、“沒有什麼大不了”等。這是積極態度或是積極願望？藝術家在分享他內心的祝願。
王能濤於一九六二年出生於黑龍江哈爾濱市，八八年畢業於北京中央民族大學美術係，八九年開始成為專業藝術家，在國內及國外不斷地舉辦個展及聯展。

No Big Deal
Works of Wang Nengtao
Art Beatus Gallery
35-39 Graham Street, Ground floor (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace)
Central, Hong Kong
Exhibition period August 3 - 24, 2007
Artist will attend the opening ceremony at 6:30 to 8:30pm on August 3, 2007
Press Release
With his colourful limited edition prints, Wang Nengtao hopes to incarcerate the remaining positive attitudes still held by people in China today. Some of the attitudes that he wishes to maintain are fast vanishing and some have already been sarcastically twisted and remarked.
Wang is fighting an uphill battle to uplift these ideal attitudes. In “No Big Deal” exhibition, Wang will show his works in print done over the past three years. He adorned them with slogans such as “Have High Ideals Since Young”, “Look Forward”, “Things Will Turn Better”, “Definitely We Will Over-take the U.S.”, ”Absolutely, Resolutely” and, of course, ”No Big Deal”.
The prints selected for this exhibition will be his smaller works, as the large ones are big enough to cover walls. The works remind viewers of the propaganda posters in China during the sixties and seventies of the last century but the colours and presentation are definitely contemporary.
Wang was born in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China in 1962 and graduated from the Art Department of the Central Ethnic Academy in 1988. He became a full time artist since 1989.
Art Beatus Gallery is located at 35-39 Graham Street, ground floor, Central. For further information about this exhibition or to interview the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk, or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.
Gallery hours: Mon. thr. Sat. 11:30am – 7:30pm, close on Sundays & public holidays
