作为何伟在香格纳画廊的第一个个展，此次展览带来了艺术家近年来的创作以及新的实验方向。稀薄的颜料经反复叠加、渗透后化为一片混沌，而当中缓慢升起的几何线条，稍纵即逝的“强光”痕迹，又以一种奇异的方式重新梳理出整个画面的秩序。艺术家不懈试验，意在通过抽象的画面、色彩、线条，于相互交织的感性和理性之间找寻过渡的方法，以及如何直面两种情绪的矛盾和对立。

As the gallery’s first solo presentation of He Wei, this show indicates the artist's recent explorations on abstract painting. Through repeated superimposition and infiltration, the washes of pigment on He’s canvas merge into chaos, while the slowly rising geometric shapes and the fleeting traces of “strong light” modulate the whole picture in a singular way. Persistently experimenting with abstract planes, colours and lines, the artist is looking for transitions between the intertwined sense and sensibility, as well as ways to confront the contradictions and opposites of the two qualities.

在另一空间中，唐茂宏的最新系列作品《五个大人物》则由五张大尺幅绘画组成。区别于艺术家过往实践中对于现成图像的挪用，人体在本次展览中得到简化拉伸，以自足的姿态不断出现在辅助线所构建的“坐标”之上；巨大的锥体在加剧画面荒诞感的同时，更提示着艺术家为消解一切指向性意义，回归图像空间关系所做出的努力。

Another exhibition brings together five large-scale paintings by Tang Maohong under the title "Five Big Men", marking a significant departure from the artist’s use of found images in earlier practice. This new suite of works features the simplified, stretched human bodies, which appear constantly on the "coordinates" constructed by composition lines-with all kinds of self-satisfied postures; the huge cones, in particular, make the picture even more absurd, suggesting Tang’s endeavours in dispelling all the specific meanings, and returning to the spatial relationship between objects.
