BANK 代理艺术家文爵｜BANK Represents the Artist Wenjue
BANK荣幸宣布代理艺术家文爵。
文爵，2001年生于北京。2015年就读于巴黎大茅舍艺术学院，2016年进修于弗朗索瓦·勒朗德工作室，2019年成为法国泰勒艺术基金会终身会员，现居上海。他的创作围绕着对“油画”这种媒介的实验，通过颜料的物理质感堆积，令三维的类岩石和浅浮雕与二维绘画相互碰撞，产生出新的对话关系，赋予结构与图像以全新的定义。 作为一位年轻的艺术家，文爵的作品受到艺术史及古典绘画、时尚变迁、日本漫画等领域的多重影响，展现了“00一代”所特有的视觉偏好与文化观察。
文爵于2023年3月在BANK画廊的金库空间呈现了个展“超体：丰饶角”。该展览展出了文爵近年来创作的架上作品。在这些作品中，人们可以看到艺术家对于自我身份的虚构与探索，以及他对于不同门类的视觉文化的引用与致敬。
展览标题“超体”出自法国导演吕克·贝松执导的科幻电影，讲述了一个女子在摄入一种能激活大脑潜能的药物后，逐渐成为超人类的故事。而在文爵这里，绘画本身便是制造“超体”分身的方法，副标题“丰饶角”则暗示了这些创作的多样根源。虽然不是所有的作品都有着明确的古典来源，但几乎所有形象都被安置在了一个人造洞穴般（grotto-like）——一种巴洛克时期的园林建筑构件——的厚涂颜料堆中：这些鲜艳如奶油的颜料有的十分对称，有的则意在制造深度，大部分都是为了营造一种庄严的祭祀感，配合着画面中心的神怪形象以及如咒语般的标题，这些绘画看起来既甜蜜又诡异。
在即将于11月9日开幕的ART021上海廿一当代艺术博览会中，BANK将在展位D02呈现文爵与张移北的双个展。文爵的作品亦将亮相11月10日开幕的BANK十周年群展。
BANK is honored to announce the representation of artist Wenjue.
Born in 2001 in Beijing, Wenjue studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris in 2015 and then at Atelier François Legrand in 2016. In 2019, he became a lifelong member of the Fondation Taylor. Wenjue currently lives in Shanghai. His work revolves around the experimentation with the medium of "oil paints”. Through the physical accumulation of oil paints, he makes three-dimensional rock-like and bas-relief sculptures collide with two-dimensional paintings, creating a new dialogue and giving a new definition to structure and image. As a young artist, his works are influenced by art history and classical painting, fashion, and Japanese manga, demonstrating the unique visual preferences and cultural observations of the post-00s generation.
Wenjue presented his solo exhibition Supercalifragilisticexpialidociousism and The Horn of Plenty at BANK's THE VAULT Space in March 2023. The exhibition featured works created by Wenjue in recent years. In these works, one can see the artist's fictionalization and exploration of his own identity, as well as his references and homages to different kinds of visual culture.
The title of the exhibition is inspired by the sci-fi movie Lucy directed by French director Luc Besson, which tells the story of a woman who gradually becomes a superhuman after ingesting a drug that can activate her brain's potential. In the case of Wenjue, the paintings themselves are the method of creating the "superhuman" doppelgangers, and the subtitle "The Horn of Plenty" hints at the varied origins of these creations. While not all of the paintings have a clear classical provenance, almost all of the images are housed in a grotto-like mound of thickly applied pigment: the bright, creamy colors of these paintings have the potential to be used in a variety of ways. The bright, creamy pigments, some very symmetrical, others intended to create depth, are mostly intended to create a sense of solemn ritual, and with the monstrous figures of gods and monsters at the center of the picture and the incantation-like titles, the paintings seem both sweet and spooky at the same time.
In the upcoming ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair, which will open on November 9th, BANK will present a tri-solo of Wenjue and Zhang Yibei at booth D02. Wenjue's painting will also be featured in BANK's 10th Anniversary Group Exhibition, which will open on November 10th.
