Suzhou Museum will present A Golden Lion Costume: Liang Ying Solo Exhibition on May 18, 2020. The exhibition is planned and organized by curator Xie Xiaodong.The exhibition theme ‘a golden lion costume’ is in reference to the artist’s work with the same title – this artwork is a critical new starting point of the spirit in Liang Ying’s creation in the past few years. Along with more than twenty works, it showcases to audience the artist’s quest and thinking on history and culture by means of the painting medium.梁缨，《鲜花盛开》，2019年，纸本设色，96x177厘米.

上世纪90年代，梁缨回国后创作的“梁缨日记”系列，在很长一段时间里因为独特的“女性主义”视角颇为外界称道，这些作品深受西方现代主义和德国新表现主义绘画的影响——尤其是其导师西格玛·波尔克等人，“梁缨日记”系列让她在中国当代艺术创作中独树一帜。而过去几年，梁缨通过旅行观察和阅读各种文献，在淡化女性视角的基础上加入了更多对严肃主题的反思，作品的绘画性、叙事性、观念性相结合，创作出一系列具有当代意味的“新表现水墨”作品。
In the 1990s, after returning from abroad, Liang Ying created‘Liang Ying’s Diary’ series, and for a long time, she has been well recognized by its unique ‘feminist’ point of view. These works are deeply influenced by western Modernism and German Neo Expressionist paintings, in particular by the likes of her mentor Sigmar Polke. ‘Liang Ying’s Diary’ series has put her on a singular position amongst Chinese contemporary art. Whereas in the past few years, through observing during travels and reading various archives, in addition to softening the female perspective, Liang Ying has expanded more reflections on serious themes, and thus has created a collection of ‘new expressionist ink paintings’ works with contemporary sensibility.

On one hand, Liang Ying strengthens her exposure and study of the Chinese tradition, and is dedicated to rediscovering the Chinese brush and ink tradition. Nourished by calligraphy, literati painting, popular literature, prints of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Dunhuang mural painting, etc., her oeuvre shows a vigorous connected network of Chinese traditional culture. On the other hand, she adopts practices such as imitating and copying, cutting, enlarging, collage, misplacement, to regroup imagery resources taken from different times and spaces, and thus creates a new visual language. Moreover, while on the quest for a new paradigm of brush and ink, Liang Ying takes advantage of the broader theme and starts to thoroughly approach new topics such as history and politics, legend and faith, the collective and individuals, and by expressing her concern on these areas, she enables her work to carry more weight aside from having an easygoing and humorous tone and an aesthetic beauty.

此次展览展出的作品创作时间跨越2014到2019年，《金毛狮，一张皮》是其中一件特别的作品。梁缨在电视上的中国传统舞狮节目中，看到了个人在时代面前的无力感。表面上威猛无比的雄狮，其实仅仅是一副被控制的皮囊而已，这让她对个人的力量充满警惕——无论英雄侠客，还是芸芸众生，世界似乎自有其法则和力量，在时代面前，谁都难言自己决定自身的命运——这种境况不仅存在于我们的历史与文化当中，而且每一天都在持续上演。Works shown in this exhibition span from 2014 to 2019, A Golden Lion Costume is a special artwork. While watching the traditional Chinese lion dance performance on TV, Liang Ying sees from it the powerlessness of each individual in the face of our time. The all-mighty looking lion in fact is but a costume controlled by others and this has made her cautious about the power of individuals – including heroes and knights-errant (xiake) alike, as well as the common mass. The world seems to possess its own law and power, and in the face of our time, no one can assert he can determine his own destiny – this kind of circumstances has not merely existed in our history and culture, but is repeatedly staged every day. 此展览在苏州博物馆展出，梁缨创造的水墨世界将与贝聿铭先生设计的建筑美学对话成趣，围绕东方与世界、古典与当代、过去与未来开启新的艺术想象。受疫情影响，展览于5月18日“国际博物馆日”开展，开幕仪式将根据疫情防控情况择期举办，展览期间主办方苏州博物馆、协办方云杪文化、艺·凯旋画廊还将邀请多位艺术家、学者、评论家举办系列学术沙龙，以梁缨的绘画为原点，探讨诸多学术议题。The exhibition will be held at Suzhou Museum, where the world of ink realized by Liang Ying will be in interesting dialogue with I. M. Pei’s architectural aesthetics, and it will inaugurate artistic imagination on the topics of the East and the world, the classic and the contemporary, the past and the future. Impacted by the pandemic, the exhibition will open on May 18, International Museum Day, and the opening ceremony will take place at another chosen time based on the progress of pandemic prevention and control. Over the course of the exhibition, the organizer Suzhou Museum , the partner Yumiao Culture, Triumph Gallery will invite multiple artists, scholars and critics to participate in a series of academic salons, which take Liang Ying’s paintings as the origin, to further investigate several issues of academic significance.梁缨， 1961年出生于北京。1981-1982年，在广州美术学院国画系学习。1983-1993年， 在德国汉堡美术学院艺术系曾获得汉堡扶轮社和北德石荷州（SCHLESWIG—HOLSTEIN）的艺术奖学金。1991年获艺术硕士学位。她的作品通常以当代性绘画风格出现在观者面前，笔墨大胆，不拘束，大量运用鲜艳的色彩，也大量借助于中间色的微妙，避免了一味地顺延中国传统水墨的绘画体系。在作品中，梁缨并不想针对现实生活而做出某种宏观性的概括总结，却是从自己的切身感触入手，以幽默、个性的姿态展开其对生命性的体验和情感性的抒发。
梁缨的个人展览包括：“金毛狮，一张皮：梁缨个展”（ 苏州博物馆，苏州，中国，2020）、“仙人振缨 —— 梁缨个展”（ 艺·凯旋画廊，北京，中国，2019）、“鸡鸭鱼肉——梁缨纸上作品展”（AYE画廊，北京，中国，2018）、“仙境——梁缨个展”（上海华氏画廊，上海，中国，2017）、“仙境——梁缨个展”（ 艺·凯旋艺术空间，北京，中国，2016）、“ 南北东西得自由——梁缨个展”（Uspace艺术空间，苏州，中国，2015）、“ 梁缨日记”（ 艺·凯旋艺术空间，北京，中国，2014）等。
Liang Ying was born in Beijing in 1961, studied at the Chinese Painting Department of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1981 to 1982 and received an art scholarship from the Rotary Club of HFBK Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein from 1983 to 1993. She received a master’s degree in art in 1991. Her works usually take on a contemporary style with a bold and unconstrained appliance of ink and bright colors and rely heavily on the subtlety of the intermediate colors to avoid strictly following Chinese ink painting traditions. Instead of making summaries of real life, Liang Ying paints based on her own personal feelings and experience with humor and personality.
Liang Ying’s solo exhibitions include: "A Golden Lion Costume”(Suzhou Museum , Suzhou, 2020)“,"Immortal – Liang Ying Solo Exhibition” (Triumph Gallery, Beijing, 2019), "Creatures: Liang Ying‘s paper works" (AYE Gallery, Beijing, 2018), "Land of Ghosts – Liang Ying Solo Exhibition" (Shanghai Hwas’ Gallery, Shanghai, 2017), "Land of Ghosts – Liang Ying Solo Exhibition" (Triumph Gallery, Beijing, 2016), "Freedom Everywhere — Liang Ying Solo Exhibition" (Uspace Art Space, Suzhou, 2015), "Liang Ying Diary" (Triumph Gallery, Beijing, 2014), etc.
