凱尚畫廊榮幸地宣布將于2016年2月18日至3月19日推出重慶籍藝術(shù)家鐘飆的大型繪畫個展“彼岸”。

作為中國當代最著名的藝術(shù)家之一，鐘飆的作品超現(xiàn)實地詮釋現(xiàn)代生活。他用苛刻的方式觀察世界，所指向的終極混沌具有吞食一切的力量，而其中仍然蘊含著的那些純潔，雜糅在各種象征性的對立關(guān)系之中，與生活平行。

在“彼岸”個展中，鐘飆的新作無論是針對地理或觀念而言，都敏銳地呈現(xiàn)出藝術(shù)家對于多元文化共存的理解。這些半抽象繪畫基于佛教波羅密的教義，通過悟道的意圖孕育出純粹的美德，進而不斷地努力去了解彼岸——故事的另外一面。正如中國當代藝術(shù)評論家Paul Manfredi 為本次展覽所寫的文章所言：“作為一位藝術(shù)家和思想家，人物和抽象的融合是鐘飆作品廣泛的象征。他的目標就是用繪畫來挑戰(zhàn)空間和時間對人類的限制。”

展覽將由著名的藝術(shù)評論家 Paul Manfredi操刀文章的寫作。媒體報道請聯(lián)系 Ysabelle Cheung 電話 （212。255。4388）或者電子郵件 ysabelle@kleinsungallery。com。更多其他信息請聯(lián)系 Casey Burry 電話 （212。255。4388） 或者電子郵件 casey@kleinsungallery。com。

Klein Sun Gallery is pleased to announce “The Other Shore，” a solo exhibition of large-scale paintings by Sichuan-based artist Zhong Biao， on view from February 18 through March 19， 2016。

Zhong Biao is a prominent contemporary painter known internationally for his hyper realistic interpretations of modern life。 Maintaining a distance from the parameters of classical portraiture and composition， Zhong’s eye on the world seems a cynical one – his depictions of chaos and destruction are all consuming – yet symbols of purity prevail， proving the symbiotic relationships of opposites in life。

In “The Other Shore，” Zhong presents new paintings that focus keenly on the co-existence of diverse cultures， whether with respect to geography or in ideology。 Based on the Buddhist concept of pāramitā， in which pure virtues are nurtured with the intent of attaining enlightenment， the half-abstract paintings constantly strive to understand the other shore – that is， the other side of the story。 References to terrorist attacks， the media and natural disasters comingle with figures of people expressing puzzlement， sadness， or wonder at the world， eyes looking upwards as their bodies literally take to the skies。 As Chinese contemporary art critic Paul Manfredi wrote in an essay for the exhibition： “The blend of figural and abstract is broadly emblematic of Zhong‘s work， both as a painter and a thinker。 His goal is to use painting to challenge the limits of space and time which frame our experience。”

The exhibition is accompanied by an academic essay by Paul Manfredi。 For press inquiries， please contact Ysabelle Cheung at the gallery （212。255。4388） or via email at ysabelle@kleinsungallery。com。 For all other inquiries， please contact Casey Burry at the gallery （212。255。4388） or via email at casey@kleinsungallery。com。
