阿拉里奥首尔｜车贤旭 CHA Hyeonwook 个展「低空飞行」｜展期至6月22日

阿拉里奥首尔于2024年5月1日至6月22日呈现车贤旭个展《低空飞行》。车贤旭（韩国，生于1987年）经由梦幻而又平静的风景画表达着记忆和想象中的自然与人物。车贤旭的作品巧妙地融合了传统与现代——基于韩国传统绘画的形式与材料，却在技法上寻求异于传统彩色画技法的表达。他通过对传统“韩纸”施加压力留下痕迹，在立体感的纸本表面上细致地一层层地涂以颜料，以独有的绘画方法来描绘他心中想表达的主题与风景。此次个展于阿拉里奥画廊首尔四层空间呈现，现实与艺术家的想象交汇，过去与现在的叙事交织，17幅新作共同构筑了一个丰富多彩的全新世界景观。 

CHA Hyeonwook (b. 1987) expresses nature and human figures that reside in his imagination and heart through dreamy yet tranquil landscapes. His work is characterized by a mixture of tradition and modernity. While he bases his work on the form and materials of Korean painting, his painting technique does not fully adhere to the traditional method of color painting. He creates layers of color on a textured surface by applying pressure to ‘hanji’ (traditional Korean paper) and adding dimensionality, using his own adapted method of painting to depict the subjects and landscapes he wishes to express. His solo exhibition Low Glide, held at ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL’s fourth floor space showcases a total of 17 new paintings by CHA. The exhibition vividly showcases a newly constructed landscape, where reality and the artist’s imagination converge, and narratives from the past and present intersect.

展览的主题词“低空飞行”代表了车贤旭对待其“绘画”工作的态度及当前技法特点的的呈现。该主题词描绘了在广阔的森林中低空飞行、拂过风景的情景，让人联想至艺术家生活中的挣扎和克服挫折的旅程。同时，它还隐喻了艺术家的独特绘画技巧——用干燥的画笔在韩纸上叠加颜料，通过施加压力留下线条等痕迹，以防止水分过于渗透纸面。和他在使用墨水时相似，车贤旭将这种干燥、短小的刷涂方式运用于着色。将韩国传统山水画中的“线条”作为主要画面构成元素的同时，车贤旭还使用了“anchae”和“hobun”两种颜料，前者是将韩国画传统颜料粉末与胶水、天然淀粉混合制成的水性颜料，后者则使用了贝壳等天然石灰。同时，车贤旭在色彩和题材的偶发性搭配、布局以及技法的变换方面，采取了西方绘画的态度。这些特征在车贤旭打破韩国传统山水画与西方山水画之间的界限、构建起自己独特的艺术风格的过程中，起到了至关重要的作用。

The theme of the exhibition ‘low glide’ represents CHA's artistic approach towards his work of 'drawing' and the characteristics of his current techniques. It evokes the imagery of flying low over a vast forest, brushing closely with the landscape, reminiscent of the artist's life struggles and his journey to overcome frustrations. Moreover, it serves as a metaphor for his unique technique of layering dry brush strokes on ‘hanji’ and creating line-like impressions by applying pressure, which are techniques that prevent moisture from deeply penetrating. CHA applies this technique of dry, short brushstrokes, similar to his use of ink, to coloring. He uses ‘anchae’, a watercolor made by mixing Korean painting pigments with glue and natural starch, and ‘hobun’, made from natural lime such as seashell, all while employing elements of line derived from traditional Korean landscape painting. Simultaneously, CHA adopts a Western painting attitude in the spontaneous combination and placement of colors and subjects, and variation in techniques. These characteristics play a crucial role in allowing CHA to break the boundaries between traditional Korean and Western landscape painting, thus establishing his unique artistic oeuvre.

对于个体记忆的探索一直是车贤旭艺术实践中的中心主题，以此连接当下与未来。他的作品是通过收集从个人经验中获得的直接和间接的记忆，在以艺术形式重新创造它们的过程中诞生的。在这个创作过程中，车贤旭与周遭世界持续互动作用，构建了通过这些关系形成的个人时间线。与传统的收藏不同，他的作品展现了一种创造性的方法——赋予平凡事物或概念以新的价值，并将由此形成的记忆碎片结合起来，创造新的主题和场景。树木与云彩，这些常出现在车贤旭作品中的意象，是象征其记忆和情感的重要元素，以辗转于各个地区形成的记忆为基础，表达着艺术家作为一个异乡人的自我探索。在这一旅程中，他在不断变化的社会关思索个人的身份认同感，随着时间的推移，记忆碎片再次重组转变，创造新的现实和未来。作品中的柳树隐喻了他的故乡记忆，而新引入的刺柏则代表了排斥和异乡感，是一种移居他乡者的情感表达。源于真实自然的象征，如白昼与夜晚交界时出现的“白日月亮”，以及场景中经常出现的丰富但短暂的浮云，是构成其时间边界和梦幻般景观的重要元素。车贤旭在不断变化和时间流逝中，以自己独特的方式模糊了现实和未来、事实和虚构之间的界限。

CHA Hyeonwook's artistic realm explores memory as a key theme, connecting the present and the future in a unique manner. His works are born from the process of gathering both direct and indirect memories from personal experiences and recreating them in artistic form. Within this creative process, CHA constantly interacts with the surrounding world, constructing a personal timeline formed through these relationships. His works reveal a creative approach that assigns new value to ordinary objects or concepts, unlike traditional collectors, combining these fragments of memory to create new subjects and scenes. Trees and clouds, frequently appearing in CHA's works, are important elements that symbolize memories and emotions, expressing the artist’s exploration of self as a stranger, shaped by his memories from moving across various regions. In this journey, he contemplates his identity amidst the ever-changing society, as fragments of memories combine and transform over time, creating new realities and futures. The willow tree in his works metaphorically represents memories of his homeland, while the newly introduced juniper represents the awkward and alien, the expression of another stranger who has migrated to a foreign land. Symbols derived from nature such as the 'day moon' found at the boundary of day and night, and the abundant yet ephemeral clouds frequently seen in the scenes, are crucial elements that construct the boundaries of time and the dreamlike landscapes of his work. CHA blurs the boundaries between reality and future, fact and fiction, in his unique way amidst the constant change and flow of time.
