世界盡頭與冷酷仙境
　　The End of the World and the Gloomy Wonderland
　　劉也個展 Liu Ye Solo Exhibition
　　2008.9.13（Sat）～ 10.29（Wed）

　　Liu Ye, born in the 80’s, is a new and powerful voice of the young generation of Chinese artists. Liu Ye's works, charged of imagination, deal with ecological issues and modern civilization contradictions. As if prophet of the modern times, Liu Ye warns of what could happen if humans don’t learn to respect the laws of nature.

　　In his paintings we see emblematic architectural constructions, symbols of human civilization invaded by water, destroyed by the natural elements. Water is stronger than stone, and human civilization just a fraction of the universal history. Admirer of Anselm Kiefer, Liu Ye’s paintings are highly expressionistic, using all kinds of media to splash onto the canvas, including ink and coffee. He reflects the new generation of artists, young people belonging to the global village.

　　Yan Club Arts Center presents these masterpieces to the audience in Beijing with the expectation of guiding the public to a trip in pure souls.

　　今天，現(xiàn)代文明的后遺癥愈來愈凸顯，以致它成了我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪械闹匾掝}之一，出生于80年代的年輕藝術(shù)家劉也以此為切入點，以視覺形式向大家展示了他對這個問題的多方面思考。不同的知識結(jié)構(gòu)和成長的時代背景造就了他們這一代人與之前截然不同的對生命與歷史的認(rèn)識，他們在用新的方式與世界溝通。

　　本此展覽為這位年輕藝術(shù)家的首此個展，包括從2007年初至2008年7月約一年半左右的大部分繪畫創(chuàng)作。作品里岌岌可危的著名建筑和怪誕的夢幻場景讓我們感受到藝術(shù)家對當(dāng)下文明沖突的嚴(yán)肅思考和深深的憂慮，體現(xiàn)出藝術(shù)家內(nèi)心的一種強烈的價值觀。這份嚴(yán)肅的思考和憂患意識正是自律與和諧的起點。
