　　艾安，1963年生于辽宁，有着十年的军人生涯，八十年代末考入中央美术学院学习绘画。1990年于中央美术学院民间美术系连环画专业毕业后，艾安开始了他的绘画艺术生涯，本次展览是他新的创作阶段的第二次个展，也是艺术创作比较成熟的一次呈现。

　　艾安的创作大部分是坦培拉（Tempera）作品，本次展览的作品皆属艾安近年来所创作的新作，与以往的作品相比，艺术家也在无意中创造了一种新的画面风格。相对于创作初期，忧郁、沉闷的画面风格，今年的创作中他的画面越来越平静、明亮，非常朴实却又耐人寻味，寓意深远，他笔下的人与动物，甚至山与建筑，都充满灵性，颇有超现实的寓意。

　　   坦培拉（Tempera）曾经成就了一大批古典时期的绘画大师，它对细节有特殊的表现力，加之它的创作过程比较缓慢而复杂，也使得艺术家倾注了更多的感悟与思考。艾安的作品使我们可以从更加直观立体的角度去观察体验和面对生活。画中的景象让人感觉整个世界都在你的身边，紧扣个体经验，将生命感悟进行即时性的整理和抒发，类似一种日记式的文体。

　　本次展览开幕式将于4月25日下午15：00举行，届时東京画廊+BTAP欢迎您的到来。

　　 Born in 1963 in Liaoning, China, Ai An spent ten years of his career in the military. In the 1980s, he tested into the Central Academy of Fine Art, oil painting department. By 1990, he had graduated from CAFA's Graphic Novel (Fine Art) Department, and started his painting career. For a while after this, he engaged with work in design, but after drifting away from pure fine art creation, he was bestowed with a new realization about art, broadening his visions as an artist. This exhibition includes brand new works that were created since his last solo exhibition, and shows an increasingly matured body of work.

　　  Majority of Ai An's works use tempera paint. Each of the artworks in this exhibition are from a relatively new mode of painting that starkly contrasts that which he has used in the past. Furthermore, it is a style of painting that the artist unintentionally started to use. In comparison to his earlier works that display a more melancholic and withdrawn style, his works from this year are ever more bright and tranquil. They take a step back to offer room for thought and meditation. With deep meaning embedded within, the people, animals, even mountains and architecture that Ai An depicts are full of consciousness, considerably surpassing reality in their profound significance.  Tempera is an established medium that was first used by painting masters in classical times, particularly because the medium allowed the artists to express great detail, despite the process being quite slow and complicated. Nevertheless, it was this very process that allowed artists to express more emotion and thought in their work. Ai An's new paintings allow us to explore, experience and face life from an increasingly intuitive and three dimensional perspective. The scenes within his paintings make us feel that the entirety of the world is just at our side. Sticking closely to personal experiences, it allows us to instantaneously be in a process of organizing and expressing our feelings on life, as if it were existing in a semi-journalistic literary form.

　　The exhibition's opening will be held on April 25, 2015 at 3pm. Tokyo Gallery + BTAP cordially invite you to attend.
