就算你对这样的绘画存在误读，但是这种误读使你有了新的认识，即你基于一种误读而建立了另一个解释的体系，这样也很有趣。”——黄宇兴
这次为您呈献的展览——“洞”，是黄宇兴在星空间的首次个展。它将通过一系列的“窥视”，揭示出艺术家性格中对于复杂天性的解读。
人人都是“窥视者”
在黄宇兴的《日志》系列作品中，内容涉及广泛，从网络自杀、海岛俯瞰到亲密关系，全部置于一块块好似被放大的锁孔形板面之上。无论面前的场景是卧室还是天空，你都在不经意中变成了一个偷窥者、闯入者，跟随黄宇兴透过这些扁平的锁孔罪恶地偷看一眼。
“请和我保持距离。”
饲养冷血动物的爱好揭示了黄宇兴对于“亲密”的矛盾心理——它们不会特别地亲近而你也不会跟它们起腻。把握这种平衡的亲密感是体验黄宇兴作品的一种方式： 在“洞”的现场，我们精选的大型作品是要通过墙上的小孔才能窥视到。即便作品与你近在咫尺，但它还是要坚定的保持与你的那份距离。穿行在黄宇兴带来的一场 场“激情戏”当中，你还能找到他所期待的“绘画的本质”吗？

Huang Yuxing: Hole
Star Gallery is pleased to present a new series of complicated works presented in unique obscurity. Hole is Huang Yuxing’s first solo show with the gallery and likewise a drastic departure from his earlier works. This new series reveals the introspective psychology of the artist, as well as a complicated slice of human nature.
Snooping into a Beautiful Life
In Huang Yuxing’s “keyhole” series Internet suicide, landscapes and islands and intimate interactions are delicately painted on wooden boards shaped like oversized, cartoon－like keyholes. Whether peeking into a bedroom or the distant sky, viewers are inadvertently spying on the sometimes perverse, and other times painful lives of his creations. We become interlopers, trespassers, guilty of stealing a glance through these flat, two-dimensional holes.
Keep Your Distance －Painting and Intimacy
Huang’s hobby of raising lizards reflects his own paradox with intimacy—by nature they will never be too close to him, but as his pets, they cannot live without him either. Such a balance of intimacy is also how you view his images. In the “Hole” exhibition space selected large-scale works are viewed through an intimate—but dividing—peephole. They maintain a physical distance and symbolize the emotional distance between the viewer and his works. Huang Yuxing likewise tries to disassociate the passionate elements from the essential nature of his painting.
His images are derived from various contemporary media, the photographs of friends, the insides of CD wrappers, or Internet downloads. They are a balance of exacting oppositions—violence and harmony, distance and intimacy.
Huang Yuxing was born in Beijing in 1975 and educated at the Central Academy of Fine arts. He has previously shown at Soka Gallery, in Shenzhen and around China. As one of China’s brightest rising artists, he has also received much media attention, appearing in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and on television shows such as “A Date With Lu Yu”
A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, conceptually designed by MEWE studio’s Liu Zhizhi. The catalogue “Hole” will be available through Timezone 8.
Please note: due to explicit content, those under the age of 16 may not enter the exhibition space
