　　《物像》前言

　　杜英男、閻實和王弢是三個性情、氣質、閱歷與創作狀態截然不同的藝術家，在他們的攝影中，具體的人和城市是缺失的，卻又以不出現的存在感的影響著鏡頭中的物像表達。

　　杜英男的《I see, I know》系列由三部分組成，此次展出的是第二單元之《狂歡》：在重疊、寬幅、形式感中，作品透射出一種難以言喻的審視的氣氛，明顯的杜英男式的距離感——一種附著于體制卻又曖昧兩可的批判精神。

　　閻實將動物扒了皮去了毛置身於荒野自然，於是死去的動物們更加生機昂然，到達了狂野放肆的高層境界——痛並快樂著。畫面佈局儼然《一千零一夜》的動物版本：詭秘神奇的另一個世界，一種極端的美。

　　王弢生於1980年，自然地在改革環境中成長的北京孩子，他一年只做了兩幅作品：《結婚了》和《像這樣的生活》。王弢在創作中對城市變化的是沒有抗拒心態而且追求唯美的，這組作品有2個尺寸，每個尺寸限量10版。

《物像》參展藝術家簡歷

　　“OBJECTIVE MATERIAL” Preface

　　Du Yingnan, Yan Shi and Wang Tao are three artists with drastically different predispositions, temperaments, life experience and modes of creation. Although their photography lacks specific subjects or cities, a non-specific feeling of existence influences the representation of these objective images before the camera lens.

　　Du Yingnan’s “I See, I Know” series is composed of three parts, displayed here is a work from the second part: Revelry. Through image repetition, wide frames, and stylistic forms, the work radiates an atmosphere of rational inspection that is hard to describe, an noticeably Du Yingnan style of fostering a sense of distance–––a critical spirit that, even thought it adheres to the existing framework, its presentation is ambiguous and evasive.

　　Yan Shi places his skinless, hairless animals in the wild, consequently, these lifeless animals are given a new vibrant and upright second chance for survival, they achieve a wild and audacious new zenith of anguish and joy. The solemn tableau in this animal version of 1,001 Nights is an alternative surreptitious and mystical world, a kind of extreme beauty.

　　Wang Tao was born in 1980, a Beijing child who unaffectedly came to age amidst national reform, this year he produced only two works, Married and Living Like This. In his creations Wang Tao puts up no resistance to urban change and pursues a pure aestheticism, each work has two edition sizes, with a total of 20 prints.
