關于“神秘園——楊平東京個展”

About "Secret Garden - Yang Ping's Solo Exhibition in Tokyo"

應日本東京銀座單向街書店畫廊的邀請，“神秘園——楊平東京個展”將于2025年3月8日在單向街畫廊開幕，此次展覽最大的不同是空間的改變，從純粹展覽空間到與書店結構空間的融合，將藝術作品與書籍結合，在一個閱讀的空間中欣賞藝術作品，在一個藝術的空間中閱讀書籍，使得原本就有著內在的聯系的視覺藝術和文學藝術做了一場跨界組合。

At the invitation of Unidirectional Bookstore Gallery, Ginza, Tokyo, Japan, "Mysterious Garden - Yang Ping's Solo Exhibition in Tokyo" will be opened on March 8, 2025 at Unidirectional Street Gallery. The biggest difference of this exhibition is the change of space, from a pure exhibition space to the integration with the structural space of the bookstore, combining art works with books, and appreciating art works in a reading space. Reading books in an artistic space makes visual art and literary art, which are intrinsically linked, a cross-border combination.

介于獨特的空間和環境，本次展覽以小而精的作品為主，展覽以“神秘園”幾個系列為主，同時還有“做為圖像的文字”、“無以言表”、“無意識情緒系列”、“晚香玉”、“如花”幾個系列，以及以書畫結合的兩個七米長卷，共四十余件左右，作品全部是首次展出，為近三年創作的部分精品之作。

Due to the unique space and environment, this exhibition is dominated by small and fine works, the exhibition is dominated by several series of "Mysterious Garden", and there are also several series of "Text as an image", "beyond words","Implicit Emotions Series", "Tuberose", "such as flowers", as well as two seven-meter long volumes combining calligraphy and painting, a total of about 40 pieces, all of which are exhibited for the first time. Some of the best works created in the last three years.

無意識情緒系列-9 50x100cm 紙本水墨 2024

在“神秘園”的一個系列和“做為圖像的文字”系列以及兩個長卷中，有書法和日本文字出現，從內容和形式上聯結不同語境的文化，試圖找到一種和諧共生。在展陳上，特別是一組小而精美可以從四面觀看的獨立作品，根據空間的結構來組合，也與書藉的形式感拉近，營造一個藝術與文化共融共生的新空間。

In one series of "Secret Garden" and the series "Characters as Images" as well as two long volumes, calligraphy and Japanese characters appear, connecting cultures of different contexts in content and form, trying to find a harmonious symbiosis. In the exhibition, especially a group of small and exquisite independent works that can be viewed from all sides, according to the structure of the space, but also close to the sense of form of the book, creating a new space of art and culture.

展覽中的作品以豐富的水墨語言和絢爛的色彩為獨特風格，以女性化的精神世界和氣質營造一種神秘感，希望能為一個文學和文化氣息深厚的靜謐空間，增添新的生機與活力。

The works in the exhibition have a unique style of rich ink language and gorgeous colors, and create a sense of mystery with the feminine spiritual world and temperament, hoping to add new vitality and vitality to a quiet space with profound literary and cultural atmosphere.

展覽開幕的當天下午，會結合展覽的作品和主題等，連線國內知名藝術理論批評家展開一場跨越時空的對話與交流。

On the afternoon of the opening day of the exhibition, the works and themes of the exhibition will be combined to connect well-known domestic art theory critics to launch a dialogue and exchange across time and space.

敬請關注和期待！

Stay tuned and look forward to it!

Secret Garden series 2（6）神秘園系列二（6）50x100cm 紙本水墨 2024

楊平近兩年的水墨作品又有不少新的拓展，這一拓展的趨向是從“畫人”到“畫物”，從“水墨”到“色彩”，從獨幅作品到作品組合。以“水墨人物”（主要是青年女性）見長的楊平，為表達作為一個女性的當代生活感受，自然將視線由“人”轉向“物”：與現代都市女性生活相關的衣物、鞋帽、鮮花……又由這些“物”表達著一個現代都市女性的精神情愫。

傳統水墨畫出現之前，中國繪畫曾經是“煥爛而求備”（張彥遠語），色彩豐富艷麗。從“水墨渲淡法”出現以后，水墨畫以“墨分五色”順應了文人崇尚淡遠的意趣，于是“以墨代色”的觀念使“賦彩畫”式微。而楊平現在則是反其道而行之——“以色代墨”，這也正好吻合了現代都市女性追求時尚的色彩人生。

Over the past two years, Yang Ping's ink works have undergone notable expansion, transitioning from "painting people" to "painting things". This shift is accompanied by a move from ink-dominated compositions to the introduction of vibrant colors, as well as a transition from single works to multi-piece combinations. As an artist known for her focus on "ink figures" primarily depicting young women, Yang Ping naturally directs her attention towards "objects" as a means of expressing her perspective on contemporary life as a woman. These objects include clothing, accessories, and elements reflecting the modern urban woman's lifestyle.

In contrast to traditional Chinese painting, which was characterized by brilliant and vivid colors, the emergence of ink wash painting introduced a preference for simplicity and the use of ink. This ideological shift led to the development of "fugue paintings" that substituted colors with ink. However, Yang Ping's approach takes her on a different path - she embraces the use of color instead of relying solely on ink. This choice aligns with the modern urban woman's pursuit of a vibrant and fashionable life, encapsulating the sentiment shared among many women in contemporary society.

至于在藝術表現上，我認為藝術家是在表現不同的藝術境界時，有意將傳統潑墨、潑彩的技法與西方野獸派、新表現主義、波普繪畫等手法給予了很好的融合，進而形成了極具個人特點的藝術面貌。而此舉亦使她逐漸在中國當代水墨創作的大格局中占有了難得的一席之地。實在殊為難得，可喜可賀！更重要的是，藝術家因為成功表達了一代新女性的特殊藝術感覺，也很好拉開了與上一輩水墨藝術家在水墨表現上的距離，這是相當不容易的！

我曾經看見過楊平的書法作品，我認為，不要說在她這一輩藝術家中是出類拔萃的，就是與上一輩藝術家相比也毫不遜色。

楊平既年輕又有才，既勤奮又好學，加上她有很好的導師，相信她有不可限量的前程！對此，我且拭目以待！

In terms of artistic expression, I believe that the artist has intentionally blended traditional ink and color techniques with Western Fauvism, Neo-Expressionism and Pop painting style when expressing different artistic realms, thus forming a very personal artistic outlook. This has enabled her to gradually occupy a rare place in the overall pattern of contemporary Chinese ink and wash creation. This is a very rare and welcome achievement! More importantly, the artist has succeeded in expressing the special artistic sensibility of a new generation of women, and has also distanced herself from the previous generation of ink artists in terms of ink expression, which is not easy!

I had seen Yang Ping’s calligraphy works. I think she is great artists en this moment, and she is also great artists pour the previous generation.

Yang Ping is young and talented. She works hard and try to learn more, and she has a great professor. I believe she is beening a great artiste too in future! I will wait for it .for the preface

Secret Garden -3神秘園系列-3 50x50cm 2024

楊平從自我封閉的個人世界轉向了對現實世界的真誠思考和激情表達。將個體的生存經驗與碎片化的現實的焦慮與虛妄相交融，進而編織出自我既融入現實又和現實有著種疏離的異彩紛呈的精神世界。

她以自我清醒的思考去直面這個絢爛迷幻而又危機四伏，日漸潰爛的真實世界，又以個體的微敘事、微體驗去消解那些看似宏大，看起來實則又不怎么崇高的空洞的理想。

楊平擺脫了具象性的視覺修辭，脫略了再現性的視覺講述，從有限的物理的真實世界走向了純粹而又無限的，又充斥著種種虛妄的精神世界。從現實空間走向心理空間。并以真誠而又頗富激情的視覺講述，逐漸建構起屬于楊平自己的精神世界。

Yang Ping shifts from his self-enclosed personal world to a sincere reflection and passionate expression of the real world. She blends her individual experience of existence with the anxiety and delusion of the fragmented reality, thus weaving a colorful spiritual world in which she is both integrated into and detached from the reality.

She confronts the gorgeous, psychedelic, crisis-ridden and festering real world with her own sober thinking, and dissolves the seemingly grand, but seemingly not very noble, empty ideals with her individual micro-narratives and micro-experiences.

Yang Ping is free from the visual rhetoric of figurativity and the visual narration of reproduction, and moves from the limited physical real world to the pure and infinite spiritual world, which is full of illusions. From the real space to the psychological space. With a sincere and passionate visual narration, Yang Ping gradually constructs his own spiritual world.

Secret Garden -4神秘園系列-4 50x50cm 2024

用心的藝術創造就是有代價的，從水墨語言本身到水墨延展到現代性的語言乃至當代藝術生活，在這些筆觸和色彩中體會作為一位女性藝術家的細膩心境，人生是享受也是消受，只是如何看待自己了。

水墨之心亦如楊平筆下的純情少女，或墨色與綠色之間，或灰色與朱砂之間，展現著無盡的暢想。楊平所刻畫出的女性宛如一面鏡子，坐在鏡子面前，就是與自己的對白和感嘆，于是，這些顏色紛繁和有形有神的人物造型就在世人面前鮮活起來，因為，那是將自己講述給別人的最好方式。

我相信楊平會在自己的心境中，越發地感受到旁人不可能感受到，也未必能夠全然理解的屬于自己的水墨世界。

The artistic creation of the heart has a price. From the ink language itself to the language of ink and ink to the modern language and even the contemporary art life, in these brushstrokes and colors, the delicate mood of being a female artist is realized. Life is enjoyment and also suffers, but howto see yourself.

The accumulation and taste of life experience, immersed in the world created by the individual, the heart of ink and wash is also like the pure girl in Yang Ping's form of write, or between ink and green, or between gray and cinnabar, showing endless imagination. The woman portrayed that Yang Ping is like a mirror. Sitting in front of the mirror is a dialogue with her own sigh. So, these colorful and tangible figures are fresh in front of the world, because that is to be yourself. Tell the best way to others.

I believe that Yang Ping will feel more and more in his own state of mind that he can't feel it, and he may not be able to fully understand his own ink world.

Secret Garden -5神秘園系列-5 50x50cm 2024

楊平的水墨畫是對“新文人畫”的發展，或者說，是將其引向了當代生活與日常敘事。正是這種現實的介入與情感的投射，使楊平在眾多水墨畫家中脫穎而出，形成了自己的藝術面貌，即以創新意識與古典氣質相結合、現實關懷與閑情逸趣相交融的典型視覺特征。

Yang Ping's ink painting is the development of "new literati painting", or it leads to contemporary life and daily narrative. It is this kind of realistic intervention and emotional projection that makes Yang Ping stand out among many ink painters and form his own artistic appearance, that is, the typical visual characteristics of combining innovative consciousness with classical temperament, realistic concern with leisure.

Secret Garden -2神秘園系列-2 50x50cm 2024

我們可以看到，楊平所畫的東西都是與她的個人生活、個人體驗和個人情感密切相關，她的繪畫是她的現實生活和情感世界的真實反映。

我覺得楊平是一個畫出了這個時代的繪畫，畫出了她這個年齡段藝術家的繪畫，也畫出了她自己的繪畫的畫家。換一句話說，她的繪畫不僅有著鮮明的時代和代際特征，而且顯示了她獨特的個人面貌。

We can see that Yang Ping's paintings are closely related to her personal life, personal experience and personal emotions, and her paintings are a true reflection of her real life and emotional world.

I think Yang Ping is a painter who has painted the paintings of this era, the paintings of artists of her age, and her own paintings. In other words, her paintings not only have distinct characteristics of The Times and generations, but also show her unique personal features.

楊平的“藍調”，充滿著女性的憂郁之美，朦朧縹緲的色彩映射出一種曖昧的意味，就像是對薄情人間的怨訴，卻又洋溢著紅顏令人心醉的魅力。繪畫語言精致細膩，從容舒緩，如歌如泣，盡顯“藍調”最浪漫的一面，猶如在瓦釜雷鳴中一息尚存的清音。

Yang Ping's "Blues" is full of the melancholic beauty of women, with hazy colors reflecting an ambiguous meaning, as if lamenting the insensitivity of the world, yet exuding the irresistible charm of youth. The painting language is exquisite and delicate, calm and soothing, like a song and a cry, revealing the most romantic side of the "Blues," as if a clear note lingering in the rumble of thunder.

駐足在楊平的畫前，仔細觀看畫面中描繪的女性形象，通過一幅幅活色生香的畫面，楊平特有的細膩情思，以及對事物敏銳的觀察力躍然紙上，畫中人像是她的自我投射，楊平將自己的內心告白與生命感受融入畫中，傾注了自己的所思所想，不但塑造了人的形，通過形也表達了人物的神，體現了新的水墨語言形式。

身為當代水墨代表人物的楊平，她關注當代生活，創作富有時代氣息，展覽現場中央，一件醒目的水墨裝置作品，像一個女兒國，上百幅人物，構圖巧妙，水墨味十足，情態各異的畫面，令觀者感受到人物豐富的情感世界，頗具藝術感染力。

楊平呈現的作品，在語言表達上，追求簡煉，注重畫面形式構成，錘煉造型，富有趣味性。她注重人物表情的刻畫，造型準確而凝練，面部刻畫融合寫實、夸張和變形，善于用水墨營造出一種含蓄而又意味深長的意境，使水墨人物畫呈現出當代的氣息。

Standing in front of Yang Ping's painting, I carefully watch the female images depicted in the picture. Through the vivid and fragrant pictures, Yang Ping's unique delicate feelings and keen observation of things appear on the paper, and the figures in the painting are like her self-projection. Yang Ping integrates her inner confession and life feelings into the painting, pouring her own thoughts and thoughts into the painting, which not only shapes people, but also shapes people. Through the form also expresses the character of God, reflects the new ink language form.

As a representative figure of contemporary ink painting, Yang Ping pays attention to contemporary life and creates a striking ink installation work that is full of the atmosphere of The Times. In the center of the exhibition site, she is like a woman's country, with hundreds of figures, clever composition, full of ink flavor and different moodiness, which makes viewers feel the rich emotional world of the characters and has artistic appeal.

The works presented by Yang Ping, in terms of language expression, pursue simplicity, pay attention to the composition of the picture form, hone the shape, full of interest. She pays attention to the depiction of characters' expressions with accurate and concise shapes. Her facial depiction combines realism, exaggeration and deformation, and she is good at creating a subtle and meaningful artistic conception with ink painting, so that the ink figure painting presents a contemporary atmosphere.
