　　《物像》前言

　　杜英男、阎实和王弢是三个性情、气质、阅历与创作状态截然不同的艺术家，在他们的摄影中，具体的人和城市是缺失的，却又以不出现的存在感的影响着镜头中的物像表达。

　　杜英男的《I see, I know》系列由三部分组成，此次展出的是第二单元之《狂欢》：在重叠、宽幅、形式感中，作品透射出一种难以言喻的审视的气氛，明显的杜英男式的距离感——一种附着于体制却又暧昧两可的批判精神。

　　阎实将动物扒了皮去了毛置身于荒野自然，于是死去的动物们更加生机昂然，到达了狂野放肆的高层境界——痛并快乐着。画面布局俨然《一千零一夜》的动物版本：诡秘神奇的另一个世界，一种极端的美。

　　王弢生于1980年，自然地在改革环境中成长的北京孩子，他一年只做了两幅作品：《结婚了》和《像这样的生活》。王弢在创作中对城市变化的是没有抗拒心态而且追求唯美的，这组作品有2个尺寸，每个尺寸限量10版。

《物像》参展艺术家简历

　　“OBJECTIVE MATERIAL” Preface

　　Du Yingnan, Yan Shi and Wang Tao are three artists with drastically different predispositions, temperaments, life experience and modes of creation. Although their photography lacks specific subjects or cities, a non-specific feeling of existence influences the representation of these objective images before the camera lens.

　　Du Yingnan’s “I See, I Know” series is composed of three parts, displayed here is a work from the second part: Revelry. Through image repetition, wide frames, and stylistic forms, the work radiates an atmosphere of rational inspection that is hard to describe, an noticeably Du Yingnan style of fostering a sense of distance–––a critical spirit that, even thought it adheres to the existing framework, its presentation is ambiguous and evasive.

　　Yan Shi places his skinless, hairless animals in the wild, consequently, these lifeless animals are given a new vibrant and upright second chance for survival, they achieve a wild and audacious new zenith of anguish and joy. The solemn tableau in this animal version of 1,001 Nights is an alternative surreptitious and mystical world, a kind of extreme beauty.

　　Wang Tao was born in 1980, a Beijing child who unaffectedly came to age amidst national reform, this year he produced only two works, Married and Living Like This. In his creations Wang Tao puts up no resistance to urban change and pursues a pure aestheticism, each work has two edition sizes, with a total of 20 prints.
