上海沪申画廊将荣幸为您推出艺术家来金娜在上海的首个个展《历历万象》，这一次艺术家不仅会带来近期创作过程中不同以往的艺术作品，同时艺术家也会对自身艺术创作的三个阶段进行一次回顾。

绿化带1 Greenbelt No.1

布面丙烯 Acrylic on Canvas

65 × 100 cm

2010

来金娜的作品关注自然背后的灵性本身，从布面丙烯绘画、彩铅和圆珠笔系列再到纸上针扎系列都可以从中窥探到艺术家隐藏其中的艺术理念——艺术家通过早期对所观看景物的人为视觉切割进行艺术创作，从而慢慢推进至关注更为具象的个体，而这些放大的个体也进一步被赋予了更为丰富的想像以及观看的可能性。随着艺术家每一次艺术创作媒介的转变，艺术作品也成为了有机的延续，作品本身所带有的灵性也在一次次的延续中变得更加清晰。

为什么是有而不是无 10

Why there is something rather than nothing 10

纸上针扎 Pricking on Paper

38 × 49 cm

2014

来金娜从2010年开始运用彩铅以及圆珠笔进行创作，描绘的物体轮廓在这些交错反复的线条下朦胧而若隐若现，这些看似井然有序却密集的线条复杂而繁琐但在其背后却是艺术家本人渴求从复杂走向简单，从抽象走到具象，从外界走向内部的一次历程。同时也向外界曝露出一个讯息：每一事物都应被赋予意义，而这些复杂而繁琐的线条是为了使其拥有意义所必须经历的痕迹。曾有着日出而坐日落而息般悠然山野生活的艺术家对于自然，对于世间万象都有着比他人更为深刻的感悟，相信万物有灵的她认为世间的事物都有着其不假外求的存在理由。

菩提夜 4 The Night of Bodhi No.4

布面圆珠笔 Ballpoint on Canvas

16 x 23.5 cm

2013

2014年的纸上针扎系列——《为什么是有而不是无》与圆珠笔的绘画作品同样继承了艺术家一贯的写实手法，但不同的是通过针孔的疏密程度去还原花草树叶的形状，层叠下交错的阴影，比起运用画笔这一媒介去勾勒事物相比，却更为轻盈灵动。纸上针扎系列作品更为逼真的还原了描摹的物体，而不是以纯图像化的方式进入观者的视线，针缀出的树叶和花草也似乎随着画面上有序排列的针孔而呼吸起来。那一刻的感受纯净而有力，生命的感召力也在此时此地开始展演，观者的每一次呼吸的起伏也随着作品散发出的勃勃生机而经历一次次的吐故纳新，同时也感知到世间的万事万物为何存在的每种可能性。

Lai Jin’na: Presenting Nature

April 24th – June18th, 2015, 10am – 7pm

OPENING RECEPTION:

Friday, April 24th at 6pm

Shanghai Gallery of Art

THREE ON THE BUND

3rd Floor, No.3 Zhong Shan Dong Yi Road, Shanghai 200002

Curator: Karen Huang

Shanghai Gallery of Art is pleased to present Presenting Nature, the first solo exhibition by artist Lai Jin’na in Shanghai. Being more than a presentation of Lai Jin’na’s recent works which have shown some different tendencies from her previous practice, the exhibition could also be seen as a review of the three stages witnessed in the artist’s journey in the art world.

Lai Jin’na’s work investigates the spiritual essence behind the nature. From her earlier acrylic on canvas, color pencil on paper to her recent paper pricking series, the evolution of her artistic vision could be perceived: the intentional visual manipulation and cutting of the scenes and objects she observed, which were seen in her earlier practice, have gradually developed into the focus on individual objects that are more specific. As a result, the magnified individual objects are imbued with more imagination and possibilities for seeing. With the changes of the media she chooses to work with, the works she produces form an organic continuance, and the spiritual essence contained within gradually comes to the fore during this continuing process.

Lai Jin’na’s artworks in color pencils and ballpoint made their debut in a series in 2010. Contours of the objects she depicted seemed blurred beneath the intricately interlaced lines. A sense of organization was born out of the elaborate and yet delicate lines. What’s behind it was a journey she initiated to pursue simplicity from complexity, representation from abstraction, the inner world from the outer world. It also conveyed such a message: all things had to be imbued with meaning, and the delicately elaborate lines should be deemed as traces necessary to achieve this. Lai Jin’na used to lead a life highly laid-back and close to nature, which informed her perception of nature as well as the world. Being a follower of Animism, she believes in the rationality of all things that exist.

Why is There Something Rather Than Nothing, the paper pricking series she produced in 2014 carried on the realistic approach seen in her ballpoint painting. However, the shapes of flowers and leaves delineated through needle pricking and shadows caused by the overlapping of them made the objects look more flexible and light than those depicted by ballpoints. Compared with a pure graphic way of delineation, the paper pricking works represented the objects in real life in a more vivid and realistic way. Leaves and flowers delineated through needle pricking seemed to be able to breathe. The purity and lively strength were so infectious that it seemed every breath the viewers took followed the rhythm of the verve given out by these works, and every breath was a way to get rid of the stale and take in the fresh. During the process, they were also experiencing the various possibilities of all the beings in the world.

Born in Xi’an in 1985, Lai Jin’na graduated from Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts, majoring in Chinese painting. She now works and lives in Beijing. A Full Void: Lai Jin’na’s Artworks, her first solo exhibition, was presented by 01100001 Gallery, Beijing, in 2014.
