展览导语 Exhibition Introduction

《蜘蛛和梦幻田园居》以挖掘日常性的残酷和趣味作为开端，造景出只属于此时此刻此地的田园乌托邦。黄明达用碎片式叙事，构建起架空的桃花源。作品融合架上，装置和沉浸式布景,传达人间轻松，趣味烟火下的彷徨。马若骢以“肉身”切入，将动物的躯体人格化。用朦胧且坚定的笔触描绘某种理想化下的“被期待的生命”。两人艺术手法在多而繁，简而专的矛盾撞击中串联起来。形式的冲突感共同孕育了两位艺术家对“日常性”和“理想乡”的怀疑和自省。

The Spider and Wonder Pastoral Villa, begin by unearthing the cruelty and fun of daily life, creating an idyllic utopia that only belongs to the here and now. Huang Mingda uses fragmentary narration to construct a made-up paradise of the land of Peach Blossoms. He combines painting, installation, and immersive setting, conveying the loss under the daily life. Ma Ruocong’s painting is filled with hazy and firm strokes and white space. She personified the animal’s body to describe a certain idealized being. The sense of conflict gave birth to the two artists’ suspicion and self-examination of “Daily life” and “Utopia.”

关于艺术家 About the Artist

Ins: @mingda_

黄明达，1997年，生活工作于北京，中央美术学院油画专业硕士在读。

作者创作时常使用孩童画画般直接的叙事，他会被蹦跳的元素指引着，并“遭遇意外”形成故事。如：给六角恐龙投喂虾米和净水器让它更健康，豌豆公主在凉风扇和优美音乐的陪伴下也可以睡得更安稳。试在轻松幽默的大语境下，渗透出一点理想化的情绪。

Born in Manila, Philippines, in 1997, lives and works in Beijing. Studying for a master’s degree in oil painting at the Central Academy of fine arts.

The artist himself often employs a direct narrative method as a child painting. He is always guided by frisky elements and encounters accidents in the process of painting, which are the major factors to form his stories. For instance, feed shrimp and provide a water purifier for the hexagonal dinosaur to make it healthier; The princess pea can be soundly asleep with the company of a cool fan and tuneful music. He tries to permeate a little idealized emotion in the integrated context of a light heart and sense of humor spontaneously.

马若骢，出身于广东，成长于北京，纽约视觉艺术学院取得插画本科学位，皇家艺术学院取得雕塑硕士学位。目前居住工作于上海。

作品在性与性别的大主题下，以个人童年经历切入，讨论思春期的暴力和忧郁，性幻想中的权力流动，以及女性气质。艺术家擅长用发育中少女的口吻描绘带有压力的，静谧的野蛮。画中并不重点描绘流血，伤痕和斗争，取之而代的用人类或动物纯粹的肉体传递愤怒和下沉感。艺术家在用其作品缓慢侵犯观众，将不可逃避的欲望降临在观众的身上。

于2020年获得JIA国际插画艺术竞赛铜奖，作品刊登于 Altiba9艺术原创杂志05号。部分具象绘画由西班牙的Altiba9画廊代理。近几年她在纽约和伦敦的The Koppel Project画廊，伦敦Standpoint gallery ，纽约La MaMa Gallery画廊，纽约切尔西Blackbird gallery黑鸟画廊等画廊参展。

Born in Guangdong and raised in Beijing, Ruocong Ma undertook a BFA degree in illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She continued her studies at the Royal College of Art on the master’s program in sculpture. Now she is based in Shanghai.

Under the general theme of sex and gender, Ruocong Ma chose her personal puberty experience as a pointcut, exploring the violence and melancholy of adolescence and the power flow in sexual fantasies. She is enthusiastic about using the voice of a budding girl to depict the silence truculence. Instead of focusing on blood, scars, and conflict, she conveys anger and a sinking feeling in the pure flesh of a human or an animal in a tender way. She slowly rapes the viewer with her work, bringing an inescapable pressure upon the audience.

Ruocong Ma’s Painting was published in Altiba9 art magazine original05 and won the JIA Illustration Award 2020 Bronze Award. The series of figurative paintings were presented by the Altiba9 gallery. Her works have been exhibited in London and NYC, including Blackbird Gallery, NYC; La MaMa Gallery, NYC; Standpoint Gallery, London; The Koppel Project, London.
