赖崇铖：双夜
2023.11.30-2023.12.28
In this exhibition, Lai Chongcheng continues to use his long-term concerned and pre-modern classical painting language and topics. Instead of directly appropriating and reproducing some kind of clear original text and illustrations, Lai Chongcheng is more like a mage who drinks the water of the magic spring and thus awakens his ability, he continuously absorbs the rich nutrients in those “scriptures" and spontaneously performs. Lai Chongcheng's painting always seems to be as hazy as stretching clouds. In his painting the gothic horror imagery that originated in the tidal flats and wooded mountains has been tenderly treated and transformed by the artist's poetic kindness. Through a planning and sense of ritual indirect painting techniques such as Glazing, Lai Chongcheng's images reproduce the classics and make the prophecies (sign) clear, and at the same time, remain a sense of suspense. As one of the emerging artists, his work reveals a counter-intuitive fact: as an individual thoroughly saturated by the Internet and post-modern culture, the artist uses himself and his creations as a channel to “reintroduce history in the present", which he makes relaxing but still important, stability but lightness, classic and popular at the same time.
本次展览中，赖崇铖延续了他长期关注的，前现代的经典绘画语式和话题。他并非直接挪用和再现某种明确的原始文本和图示，更像是饮用了魔泉之水从而觉醒能力的法师，那些“典”中丰富的养分，被赖崇铖持续的吸收并自然地施展。赖崇铖笔下的万物总是舒展着云朵般朦胧的羽翼。那些原本脱胎于滩涂和山林的哥特式恐怖意象，被艺术家温柔的诗意善待和改造。经由充满计划性和仪式感的罩白等绘画技巧，让经典再现，也让预言（sign）明朗，并同时留下悬念。作为新锐艺术家中的个案，他的创作揭示了一个反直觉的事实：作为一个被互联网和后现代文化彻底沁润的个体，艺术家以自身和创作为通道，让“在当下重提历史”变得轻松和重要——沉稳和轻巧共舞、经典和流行并肩。
