上海James Cohan画廊夏季群展《树》将展出至8月30日。
本次群展聚集了30多名国际艺术家，他们的创作从多个层面探索了有关"树"的概念。另一方面，该展览缘起也得自上海这座城市里草木葱茏的街道、绿地，以及19世纪40年代引入上海的梧桐树。树是上海别致的风景，也是有关"后殖民"的一个符号。树木成荫，随季节变换，就如同这座变化中的城市。
《树》展现了包括Francesco Clemente在内的一批艺术家作品里恣肆、诗意的一面。Francesco的纸本水彩描绘了如有人形、又时如云彩的树冠、枝杈。而Philip Taaffe的作品出自其《复合自然》系列；其中潜在的自然界的图式和结构是其数十年创作的核心。April Gornik纸本碳条作品里阴沉的丛林则着力于气氛渲染，Yuko Murata和Joan Nelson的画作又将观者带入一个宁静、忧伤的树林…… [ 点击阅读 ]
The summer group show The Tree closes on August 30, 2009
This exhibition brings together over 30 international artists who explore the subject of trees in various aspects.

These trees are one of the outstanding features of this remarkable city and are symbolic of Shanghai's colonial and post-colonial history. They provide shade and shadow, a dramatic and ever-lasting sense of seasonal change amidst a city in constant flux.
The Tree offers both whimsical as well as poetic perspectives by such artists as Francesco Clemente, whose extraordinary watercolor depicts human forms as boughs and branches within a tree that could, at any moment, become a cloud. Or in the work by Philip Taaffe, from his Composite Nature series, where the underlying patterns and structures of the natural world have been central to his work during the past decade. More atmospheric views are found in April Gornik's charcoal drawing, a darkened meadow of trees, and in the paintings by Yuko Murata and Joan Nelson, whose works take us on a journey to serene and melancholic forests...
