狮语画廊上海空间六月呈现两位艺术家/组合双个展：艺术家冯力仁的个展“多样性”（Multiplicity）以及与艺术家计文于& 朱卫兵的个展“这边都是事”（Affairs Going On!）。

Leo Gallery Shanghai is delighted to present a duo exhibition this June: Kevin Fung Lik-yan’s solo exhibition “Multiplicity” and Ji Wenyu & Zhu Weibing’s exhibition “Affairs Going On!”

“就像我们用布这个软材料一样，用不激烈的方式来观察，体验和表达日常。

“Just like our use of the soft material of cloth / We observe in a less intense way / to express everyday experience”

对于观者而言，“通俗”与“荒诞”、 “戏谑”与“玩笑” 是计文于和朱卫兵艺术作品的表象，这些特质不仅贯穿计文于绘画创作中 ，也体现在他与妻子朱卫兵共同合作创作的以“布”为主要材质的软雕塑作品中。
 

For  the viewer, “popular” and “absurd”, “ironic” and “delightful” are the characteristics of Ji Wenyu & Zhu Weibing’s works of art. These characteristics are not only seen in Ji Wenyu’s paintings, but also in the soft sculptures co-created with Ji’s wife Zhu Weibing by cloth.

从绘画转向软雕塑创作，计文于用“布”找到对于自我的挑战与突破口：“布有它的缺陷性一面，但也凸显了它的特点。它随意、它随和、它温暖、但又不易被摆布，它有它的性情和个性，它把种种搅合在一起，并发出无穷的可能性。”

From painting to soft sculpture, Ji Wenyu used "cloth" to find the challenge and breakthrough: "The cloth has its flawed side, but it also has charming features - casual, easygoing, warm, but not easy to be manipulated. It has its temperament and personality. It mixes all kinds of things together and offers infinite possibilities."

成群的“人型布偶”是计文于& 朱卫兵软雕塑作品常见的艺术形象，这些或普通日常、或戏剧化的场景式营造，不仅以一种浅显易懂的方式演绎再现了从特殊年代延续至今的记忆图像，狮语画廊上海空间二楼展厅中，这些“人型布偶”所构建出的众生相既带来一种普通人的视角，也是当下社会中群体特性真实反映。

Groups of “humanoid puppets” are the common artistic images of Ji Wenyu and Zhu Weibing’s soft sculptures. The memory of the special era of China is reproduced through these ordinary or dramatic scenes. The memory images of the special era continue to this day. In the second-floor space of Leo Gallery, the “humanoid puppets” offer the perspective of an ordinary person as well as the reflection of groups of people in the current society.
