部分作品
Some of the works
过多的期盼 / Excessive expectation
2024
布面油画 / Oil on canvas
210 × 170 cm
期盼的是对“意义”的渴求,即一个准确的答案,对未来有一个圆满的塑造,但事实往往事与愿违,矛盾的存在和认识的颠覆通常使原有的“期盼”变得多余。
病灶 / Nidus
2024
布面油画 / Oil on canvas
120 × 100 cm
张珂所呈现的这系列作品,源于对某个具体情景遗留的感受引发的联想,将原本承载过多内容的表达删减,摒弃了上下文的叙事结构,只留感受。时间使感受褪色变得模糊,接受和联想使感受有新的发现——这个过程往往是随机的、自由的、毫无目的。艺术家并不试图在每件作品中清晰地解释自己的感受,也不添加更多符合“逻辑”的必备条件,她不再审视而是接受,最后这种情感的投射和对自我的注视赋予到物品和具体情境之中,组成画面。
病灶 2 / Nidus 2
2024
布面油画 / Oil on canvas
60 × 50 cm
作品里出现的由于不断折叠形成难以抚平褶皱的白色纸张和布料,反复折叠塑造形状表达意愿,交错的褶皱是其功能性的遗迹。通过这一意象的反复出现,张珂试图表达意义过剩所产生的模糊,以及对于事实精准探求的期盼所带来的破碎。
秘密 / Secret
2023
布面油画 / Oil on canvas
30 × 21 cm
What is hoped for is the thirst for "meaning", that is, an accurate answer and a perfect shaping of the future. However, reality often goes against wishes, and the existence of contradictions and the subversion of understanding often make the original "expectation" redundant.
弥补 / Offset
2024
布面油画 / Oil on canvas
120 × 100 cm
The series of works presented by Zhang Ke originates from the association triggered by the lingering feelings of a specific situation, cutting down the expression that originally carried too much content, abandoning the narrative structure of context, and only leaving the feelings. Time fades and blurs feelings, while acceptance and association lead to new discoveries - a process that is often random, free, and purposeless. Artists do not attempt to clearly explain their feelings in each work, nor do they add more necessary conditions that conform to "logic". They no longer examine but accept, and in the end, this emotional projection and self gaze are given to objects and specific contexts, forming a picture.
期许 2 / Expectations 2
2024
布面油画 / Oil on canvas
120 × 100 cm
The white paper and fabric that appear in the work, which are difficult to smooth out due to continuous folding, are repeatedly folded to shape and express intentions. The interlocking folds are the functional relics of the work. Through the repeated appearance of this image, Zhang Ke attempts to express the ambiguity caused by the excess of meaning and the fragmentation brought about by the expectation of precise exploration of facts.
关于艺术家 / About Artist
张珂,1996 年出生于安徽淮北,2018 年学士毕业于广州美术学院,2021 年硕士毕业于英国皇家艺术学院,现工作生活于上海。张珂的作品以温馨和谐的表面与不安的内里的反差为基本来表达对于“稳定”和“常识”的怀疑,诸如幻觉与现实、生物和静物的糅合与对立。她将传统物象拆解、重构、并置,利用传统视觉元素本身所持有的原始性质营造错觉,创造出隐喻性的荒诞空间。她的作品曾被 X 美术馆,Longlati Foundation 等机构收藏。
