李一丙是北京宋莊藝術家群中的一位，1966年生於河北的邯鄲。李一丙的畫 , 色彩很柔和艷麗，給人一種愉悅童話般的感受。看他的畫，會立刻被畫面上的大片色彩和細膩的畫功所吸引，他把精神思想隱蔽在色彩之中，讓觀眾透過他細膩的筆觸慢慢品味。“冥想系列”是反映現時人們想像問題的一種方式，對展望未來的憧憬和慾望，讓現實社會中騷動不安及矛盾重重的心理狀態獲得軟著陸。
他畫中有紅色氣球；藍色雨傘；他畫的嬰兒形象不是一件具體寫真，而是一種心象的反映。成群或單個的似成年但充滿純真的嬰兒，給觀者一種渴望回歸的意願。他總是閉目冥想，天使般小心翼翼地在思緒瀰漫的天空中飄動或雀躍，在沉思冥想中尋找自己的空間，現實與歷史在心中交織，超脫與逃避，反映著畫家的精神境界。作者在渴望一種對現實的改變，在膨脹的物欲裏尋求安靜和純真的願望.畫家對過去與現實的冥想實際是一種思考。無助；迷茫；拒絕；但又充滿懷念和渴望。冥想是期望和寄託，是對無奈現實的超越。
李一丙通過繪畫對遙遠過去和遙遠未來進行了虛構或重構，意識形態的冥想和現實的相孛，在畫面裏達到和諧。他作品中沒有那些喧囂的扭曲瘋狂的東西，但是卻震撼人心。
現今的消費時代，流行文化充斥人們日常生活和思維。現實慾望的膨脹令人無所適從，畫家以現實的境遇感受歷史的遭遇。鋪天蓋地的紅與嬰兒的自我冥想和陶醉相成鮮明的對比。尋找庇護的場所，那些傘，所能庇護的也只是柔軟的雨，尋找過程不過是個慾望氣球放氣的過程，慾望的衰減意味著安全的靠近，同時理想和創造也隨之遠離。這正是畫家的兩難境地，就象金錢和藝術的取捨，富足生活與藝術追求，大多是矛盾的。這正是畫家精神世界的表現，他自己形容為“麻木的樂觀”，這或許正是現代人生活心態的一種寫照。

Meditation - New Works by Li Yi Bing
精藝軒 www.artbeatus.com
Art Beatus Exhibition Space
35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong
( Near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace )
December 5 - 23, 2007
Artist will attend the opening ceremony from 6:30 to 8:30pm on December 5, 2007
Art Beatus will present a selection of oil paintings works of Li Yibing in its December exhibition named Meditation.
Before his chubby buddies captured the attention of the art hunters, Li Yibing was just one of the hundreds of struggling artists in Song Zhuang, the artists’ enclave outside of Beijing.
Li is ecstatic that his works are being recognised and that his chubby buddies are keeping viewers on cloud nine. He still works diligently forever sharpening his skills in his small studio at the outskirt of the Chinese capital, which is fast becoming one of the world leading centres for contemporary art.
Born in the poorest part of rural Hebei in 1966, Li’s deprived childhood and harsh up-bringing have been urging him to search for peace and to create tranquillity in his works as these two “things” were definitely missing in the early part of his life.
The “Meditation” series, which will be shown at Art Beatus Gallery from December 5 to 22, 2007, unveils Li’s persistent efforts in posing his buddies at their happiest moment, eyes closed, contemplating and always desiring for something pleasurable that is forth-coming.
Li said that with his works he aimed at providing a soft landing zone for the viewers amidst the chaos and conflicts that clustered our social environments these days. To reinforce the visual elements, Li supplemented his imageries with other symbols such as clouds, balloons, boats and umbrellas to strengthen the effects of bringing forth serenity, happiness and safety, surreal yet soothingly comforting.
