ARTIST

\ JESSE LIU

劉靜涵Jesse是位來自中國北京的藝術家，高中時在南卡羅萊納州生活，目前居住和工作于美國加州。2022年畢業(yè)于紐約視覺藝術學院插畫專業(yè)。她的作品以油畫為主，從日常生活的微小細節(jié)中汲取靈感，并與她的個個經(jīng)歷相融合。通過使用鮮明的色彩和光影的相互作用，在特定的情景中傳達了?系列情感，變幻的構圖在她的每?件作品中都強調(diào)了敘事的重要性，從而營造出?種神秘或浪漫的氛圍感。

Jesse Liu is a Beijing-born artist，who spent her high school years living in south Carolina, currently based in California. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2022, majoring in Illustration. Jesse's work is predominantly oil-based and draws inspiration from the minutiae of everyday life, which she intertwines with her personal experiences. Her work employs a vivid color palette and interplay of light and shadow to convey a range of emotions within specific contexts. Her dynamic compositions emphasize the importance of storytelling, and often create a sense of mystery or romance within the work's atmosphere.

一尾美術館欣然推出青年藝術家劉靜涵的首次個展《春潮》。本次展覽將展出她以個人記憶為出發(fā)點所創(chuàng)作出的一系列油畫作品，每件作品都有獨特的敘事視角。通過深入探討個人情感和大眾經(jīng)歷的細微耦合，她試圖創(chuàng)造能與觀眾產(chǎn)生深刻共鳴的繪畫，激發(fā)人們的沉吟、共情和聯(lián)結(jié)。

Yiwei Gallery is pleased to announce the debut solo exhibition Spring Fever by artist Jesse Jinghan Liu who has just embarked on her career. This exhibition showcases a series of her captivating paintings, each with a unique narrative. By delving into the nuances of memory and others’ experiences, Liu strives to create pieces that evoke contemplation, empathy, and connection.

SPRING FEVER.

To The MoonOil on Canvas 48x36 inches

透過靜涵細致柔美的筆觸，她試圖捕捉記憶的碎片化性質(zhì)，揭示我們的回憶是如何被情感、感知和時間的流逝所塑造的。她發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中不經(jīng)意的幽微段落和片刻回憶，同時又在它們之間穿梭。她開始著迷于記憶的概念：“我經(jīng)常思考，這些記憶從何而起？為什么這些片段在我創(chuàng)作時縈繞心頭？有些回憶會不會因為時間線的偏差而產(chǎn)生混亂？”

Through Liu's sophisticatedly rendered paintings, she captures the fragmented nature of memory and how our recollections are shaped by emotion, perception, and the passage of time. She searches for small, inadvertent moments and simple recollections, weaving them into her paintings. Liu has a deep fascination with the concept of memory, pondering whether what we remember from the past is what actually happened.

在她的理解中，記憶本身是主觀意識之花的果實，因為記憶更多的是記錄特定時刻的情緒，而不是一個客觀事實。她的畫作是濃縮的、幻渺的，將她想象的世界和回憶的故事與個人情感相結(jié)合。此外，《春潮》的核心是具有曖昧情感碰撞和共鳴的場景。在這些如春風拂過心弦的描繪下，她旨在創(chuàng)造一種觀眾和主體之間的聯(lián)系，與觀眾分享每件作品中描繪的似有原始感和往往柔軟的回憶。

Her understanding is that memory itself is a fruit of subjective consciousness, registering emotions at a specific moment rather than an objective fact. Her paintings are condensed and illusory, combining imagined worlds with personal emotions, invoking stories and inviting viewers to connect with the raw, often vulnerable experiences depicted in each work.

藝術家的表現(xiàn)形式主要為布面油畫，因為它可以容納和儲存并層層罩染展示她所強調(diào)的溫潤氛圍感。靜涵的繪畫風格追求光潔的人體線條以及構圖上的流暢性，且她已經(jīng)摸索出結(jié)合傳統(tǒng)技巧的獨特調(diào)色法。光線隨著色度慢慢轉(zhuǎn)變，形成天然的光暈緩緩彌散。

Liu's choice of oil on canvas is significant as it allows her to store and layer her unique artistic presentations. Each painting has a distinct palette that corresponds to the atmosphere she felt and reflected in her work. When painting, she rejoins precious moments in a present matter.

在靜涵的許多畫作中，人是最突出的。通過他們之間的互動和關系，她探討了記憶如何與社會和情感生活交織在一起。迷失在一個平行現(xiàn)實中的人出現(xiàn)在畫布表面，或守望或嬉戲，或躲藏或找尋。當塵封最終被激活，她畫中的人物不是隨機場合的匆匆過客；相反，她們是復雜的個體，她們與藝術家之間的故事和情感關系為每件作品增添了維度和質(zhì)感。當她作畫時，她是在以當下的身份重新與那些彌足珍貴的時刻意同神交。

People feature prominently in Liu's works. Through their interactions and relationships with one another, she explores how memory is intertwined with her social and emotional lives. Her paintings capture individuals lost in one parallel reality, appearing on the canvas surface, longing, playing, hiding, or seeking. They are not merely props on random occasions, but rather, complex individuals whose stories and relationships add depth and texture to each work.

In Spring Fever, Liu creates scenes of exquisite emotional depth and resonance. Her aim is to connect with the viewer, inviting them to share in the captivating and sometimes vulnerable experiences depicted in each work.
