凱旋畫廊榮幸宣布將于2024年7月14日至8月31日期間，推出藝術(shù)家郅敏在畫廊空間的首次個(gè)展「等待」。展覽由張晨擔(dān)任策展人，展出藝術(shù)家作品20余件，包括最新完成的陶瓷、金屬、青銅等雕塑作品。

本次展覽著重呈現(xiàn)藝術(shù)家以時(shí)間為主題的一系列新作。郅敏的等待既在空間中書寫了“非線性敘事”，也在時(shí)間里顯現(xiàn)為“歷史的顏色”，郅敏的近作既讓人聯(lián)想起超越個(gè)體的“宇宙主義”，讓作為雕塑媒介的石頭、泥土與陶瓷等材料，上升到宇宙爆炸的時(shí)刻與熱力學(xué)的燃燒定理，同時(shí)也在“大千世界”中深入到地層的內(nèi)部，從太空敘事向下延伸至“深度時(shí)間”，或者說，轉(zhuǎn)換成中國人眼中真正的自然。我們看到，郅敏的作品同時(shí)表露著來自歐普藝術(shù)的現(xiàn)代視覺，并且蘊(yùn)含著屬于中國歷史的悠久傳統(tǒng)，正如“河圖洛書”同時(shí)連接著大地的河流與天頂?shù)你y河，郅敏所思考的雕塑空間及其個(gè)人藝術(shù)史的時(shí)間維度，便這樣在一件件作品之間徐徐展開。

本次展覽來自藝術(shù)家的等待，來自主動(dòng)創(chuàng)作和被動(dòng)行為的往返與辯證，來自郅敏多條創(chuàng)作線索的彼此等待與齊頭并進(jìn)。雕塑家與他的作品在宇宙空間的停留，在鴻蒙之中的徘徊，也早已準(zhǔn)備好降落回世間，在連貫的創(chuàng)作中進(jìn)入到下個(gè)階段的新的等待。

TRIUMPH GALLERYis pleased to announceWaiting for the Inevitable, the artist Zhi Min’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, fromJuly 14 to August 31, 2024. The exhibition,curated by Zhang Chen, features more than 20 works by the aritst, including newly completed sculptures of ceramics, metal, and bronze sculptures.

This exhibition will focus on presenting a series of new works by the artist with the theme of time. Zhi Min’s waiting concludes a "Non-linear Narrative" in space and appears as a "Color of History" in time. His recent works remind people of the "cosmic” that transcends the individual and makes the medium of sculpture the medium of "cosmism.” His recent works are reminiscent of a transcendental "cosmic,” in which materials such as stone, clay, and porcelain, as sculptural mediums, are elevated to the moment of the cosmic explosion and the combustion theorem of thermodynamics while at the same time penetrating deeper into the inner stratum of the earth in the "Boundless Worlds.” It then extends downward from the space narrative to the "Depth of Time.” Or, in other words, to the real nature in the eyes of the Chinese. His works simultaneously express the modern vision of Op Art and the long tradition of Chinese history, just as "Trigrams of Luo and Yellow Rivers" connects the rivers of the earth and the Milky Way of the zenith at the same time. The sculptural space and the temporal dimension of his personal art history unfold between each work.

This exhibition is a testament to Zhi Min’s journey of active waiting, a result of the dynamic interplay between active creation and passive behavior, and the mutual waiting and simultaneous progress of his multiple creative threads. His works, like the sculptor himself, have traversed cosmic space, wandering amid the heavens, and are now ready to land back in the world, marking the beginning of a new phase of waiting in coherent creation.

郅敏，1975年出生，現(xiàn)工作生活于北京。中國藝術(shù)研究院雕塑院常務(wù)副院長、教授、博士研究生導(dǎo)師。

郅敏的作品以其觀念性特征顯著，他將雕塑作為哲學(xué)觀念的物態(tài)形式，與傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)論有明顯區(qū)別 。他的作品探索個(gè)體與自然、經(jīng)驗(yàn)與超驗(yàn)的關(guān)系，呈現(xiàn)從具象到抽象的轉(zhuǎn)變，跨越傳統(tǒng)審美，直接通達(dá)于哲學(xué) 。郅敏通過雕塑藝術(shù)，探討了自然觀、科學(xué)觀，以及華夏文明的哲學(xué)闡釋方法，同時(shí)也是面向當(dāng)代創(chuàng)造力的嘗試 。

郅敏近三年主要獲獎(jiǎng)有：2022年12月3日，郅敏作品《二十四節(jié)氣——立秋》榮獲第39屆佛羅倫薩文學(xué)與藝術(shù)獎(jiǎng)雕塑類金獎(jiǎng)，成為首位獲得該獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的中國藝術(shù)家。2020年，作品《鴻蒙》獲第8屆“明天雕塑獎(jiǎng)”金獎(jiǎng)及年度大獎(jiǎng)；2021年，作品《舟》獲北京冬奧組委主辦的“2022北京冬奧會(huì)國際公共藝術(shù)大賽優(yōu)秀獎(jiǎng)”，并成為7件落地作品之一；2022年，作品《天象四神—青龍》獲“首屆景德鎮(zhèn)國際陶瓷雙年展”銅獎(jiǎng)。

郅敏在中國美術(shù)館、湖北美術(shù)館、上海美術(shù)館、法國巴黎文化中心、北京壹美美術(shù)館等重要學(xué)術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)舉辦過11次個(gè)人展覽，曾參加“達(dá)喀爾雙年展"、“法國中法藝術(shù)展”、“意大利中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)展”等國際展事。參加北京雙年展、武漢雙年展、成都雙年展，中國文聯(lián)、中國美協(xié)舉辦的全國性展覽數(shù)十次。

作品被中國美術(shù)館、中國美術(shù)家協(xié)會(huì)、上海美術(shù)館、湖北美術(shù)館、寧波美術(shù)館、中國雕塑博物館、國家藝術(shù)基金、清華大學(xué)、北京大學(xué)、中國藝術(shù)研究院、中央美術(shù)學(xué)院、中央電視臺(tái)、聯(lián)合國教科文總部、美國羅德島設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院等重要學(xué)術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)收藏。

Zhi Min, born in 1975, is currently lives and works in Beijing. He serves as the Vice President, Professor, and PhD Supervisor at the Sculpture Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art.

Zhi Min's work is distinguished by its conceptual nature, using sculpture as a material form of philosophical ideas, distinct from traditional artistic expressions. His pieces explore the relationship between the individual and nature, experience and transcendence, showcasing a transition from figuration to abstraction that transcends traditional aesthetics and delves directly into philosophy.

Though sculpture, Zhi Min examine perspectives on nature, science, and the philosophical interpretations of Chinese civilization, while also pioneering creativity in contemporary art.

Notable awards in the past three years include:

· December 3, 2022: Gold Award in Sculpture at the 39th Florence Literary and Art Award for "Twenty-Four Solar Terms - Beginning of Autumn," making him the first Chinese artist to receive this honor.

· 2020: Gold Award and Annual Grand Prize at the 8th Tomorrow Sculpture Awards for "Hong Meng."

· 2021: Excellence Award at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics International Public Art Competition for "Boat," one of seven commissioned works.

He has also participated in international exhibitions including the Dakar Biennale, Sino-French Art Exhibition, and Italy-China Contemporary Art Exhibition, as well as numerous national exhibitions organized by the China Federation of LIterary and Art Circles and the China Artists Association.
