明日开幕｜王礼军个展“峙——持”明天下午正式开幕

In this exhibition, artist Wang Lijun’s artistic practice is reflected in his continuous focus on investigating the interrelations between the artist’s self-ego, the materiality, and the physical space that surrounds the former. To be more precise, the medium specificity embedded in the tangible material that Wang Lijun utilizes, as in how the imbricated wood grains of artificial plywood are in a dissonant yet compatible relationship with natural wood, carries out an unperceivable yet essential feature that helps in redefining the philosophical dialectics that Wang Lijun finds in everyday life. Grounded in the materiality of mediums while driven by layers of temporal, spatial, and physical concepts, what this exhibition seeks to show is not simply the physical means of tension formulated by sculptures, nor neither an instinctive portrait of the everyday life in the age of post-pandemic, but a constant and critical contemplation on our anxious longing for the idea of balance itself. 

Wang Lijun (b. 1982, Hunan) graduated with a MA in Sculpture from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2013. He is now pursuing his PhD while lives and works in Beijing. Wang Lijun’s interest in issues revolving around everydayness, materiality, and spatiality could be reflected in his artistic practice throughout which sculpture and installation act as core mediums. It is within his tangible interactions with such materials that not only his personal perceptions but the issues emerging in the broader social context are represented. His works have even shown worldwide in solo and group exhibitions that include Fei Art Museum Guangzhou, Art Museum of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Beijing Today Art Museum, Beijing Times Art Museum, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, and so on.
