　　劉慶和紅門畫廊新作展

　　北京5月2日，藝術(shù)家劉慶和用他獨(dú)特的符號(hào)解釋他的新作品-使用表達(dá)方式的傳統(tǒng)核心來匯合當(dāng)代的議題。

　　在劉慶和對待當(dāng)代的議題上，他堅(jiān)持使用傳統(tǒng)國畫的原理，并使他擁有與其他藝術(shù)家的不同之處。

　　新作品名為寶貝，主要關(guān)注城中成長的孩子和鄉(xiāng)村中的孩子的不同。

　　它涉及到了自然，人生而有之的原始狀態(tài)，“什么是嬰幼兒期與童年期的真實(shí)意義”，社會(huì)的壓力影響到了成長中的孩子。

　　這個(gè)主題有雙重含義：一是作為孩子的寶貝，另一個(gè)則是對于戀人的愛稱。

　　一些孩子被誘惑著、鼓勵(lì)著、強(qiáng)迫著去快速成長，而沒有辦法去體驗(yàn)從兒童成長為成人的自然過渡期。

　　眾所周知，劉慶和以刻畫里程碑似的、孤獨(dú)的人物形象和如傳統(tǒng)山水畫似的描繪他們的軀體，這個(gè)影響經(jīng)常是令人不安的、像存在主義和有著強(qiáng)烈的心理因素。

　　展覽開幕式在紅門畫廊東便門角樓-6月14日周六到7月13日。

　　LIU QINGHE UNVEILS NEW WORK AT RED GATE

　　Beijing May 2 - Artist Liu Qinghe explores new subject in his signature style – employing traditional principles of expressing ideas using contemporary subject matter.

　　Liu's adherence to guo hua principles in his approach to contemporary subject matter has set him apart from other contemporary artists.

　　The new work titled Baby, draws on the differences between the development of young children in a city environment as opposed to rural China.

　　It references notions of ‘naturalness’; ‘what babyhood and childhood mean’; ‘societal forces which impact on the developing child’.

　　The title is a double entendre – ‘baby’ as baby and ‘baby’ as a term of endearment for a lover.

　　Some children are enticed, encouraged, forced to grow up too quickly – without being able to experience the natural development from childhood to adulthood.

　　Liu Qinghe is best known for creating monumental, solitary human figures and treating their flesh in the manner of a traditional landscape. The effect is often unsettling, existentialist and psychologically intense.

　　The exhibition opens at the Red Gate Gallery – Watchtower on Saturday 14 June and runs through until 13 July.
