ShanghART represented artist Zhang Enli’s solo exhibition Gesture and Form in Firstsite, Colchester, U.K. Will open on 10 March. This exhibition is comprised of eleven works in oil, as well as a ‘Space Painting’, a monumental site-specific installation that Zhang will paint on the 7-metre high, 140-metre wide curving wall over a 16-day period before the show opens. And this space painting will remain at the gallery for one year before being ‘unmade’.

张恩利

Zhang Enli

无论是描绘人类的生命活动, 还是有关日常事物的描绘, 对于张恩利来说, 从根本上都从属于一个目标--那就是绘画本身作为的一种生命活动.

作为一个从常民生活的日常出发来呈现世界的画家,张恩利对于一个水筒、一个柜橱与一个人的行为所倾注的关心与热情是一样的. 所有的呈现对于他来说, 既是再现, 也是表现. 从手法看, 薄涂是他的拿手好戏. 在经常是无以名状的线与面、面与面的相互转化中, 被张恩利在画布上薄薄地涂绘出来的单个或一组物件, 获得了具体的质感与体量感. 他画笔下的某些物件, 有时就像浸泡在画布空间中, 在薄薄的颜料中四下漫漶溶解开来, 隐约浮现.

他的空间绘画装置作品, 突破了现在流行的装置艺术放弃绘画、只堆放物件的老套, 成为了一种以绘画为主要手段和主要语言的绘画性装置作品. 步入他的“画”, 我们站在了时间与空间的双重空虚之中, 房间（工作室、卧室等）里被移走的各种物件所散发的存在感, 以及不在的寂寞, 都是通过过去存在的种种痕迹来诉说. 这种在有无之间所展开的思维活动与视线活动, 大大刺激了我们对存在这个命题的思考.

For ZHANG Enli, painting itself is a vital activity, no matter his brushes are featuring human activities or illustrating daily objects.

As a painter who depicts the world in the perspective of daily life, ZHANG devotes same attention and passion into every single bucket, wardrobe and individual. All the involved presentation is not only a re-presentation but an expression as well. Regarding the painting skills, a specific texture and volume of a single object or a group could be sensed through the transformation and conversion of lines and dimensions. Immersed in the inherent space of canvas, some of the objects in the paintings give a feeling that they are dissolved in the thin paint.

In terms of his space painting installations, what does matter is that he breaks all the conventions of the installation art today. Instead of placing single object together to create a so-called installation, ZHANG focuses on the installation art which speaks an artistic language of painting. While entering his painting installation, what stands among visitors is a dual sense of emptiness that integrated between the time and space. The beingness and the loneliness of the removed objects are featured by the traces they have left in the space. In this circumstance, the involvement of thinking and visualising generated between ‘existence’ and ‘nothingness’ in his paintings, has stimulated much reflection about the idea.
