EXHIBITION TITLE 展览名称
北极光 Northern Lights
拉斯·埃林 Lars Elling
马丁·戈兰 Martin Golland
凯旋画廊荣幸宣布将于2024年1月13日至2月29日期间，呈现艺术家拉斯·埃林（Lars Elling）和马丁·戈兰（Martin Golland）的双个展「北极光」，展出两位艺术家近几年创作的10余幅绘画作品。
作为来自北境的艺术家，拉斯·埃林和马丁·戈兰将观者引入作品的场域，沉浸于感知超越具象的瞬间，在作品中探索个体与环境、符号与表达、感知与情感、虚构与真实间的复杂关系。
家庭是拉斯·埃林作品中反复出现的主题，似曾相识的瞬间参杂着令人惊讶或不悦的因子。他的绘画总是呈现擦除和破碎的形式特征，纯粹的视觉表达因为有了故事性与诗意的坚实支撑而意味深长。马丁·戈兰的绘画则为人造情景和自然世界创造了一个交汇点，试图在鲜活的形体与它们所处的环境之间开辟一个空间。在这个空间里颜料的感官、不羁与情感潜力的物质存在感超越了图像本身与它的效力，在可见的边缘展现力量。
两位艺术家的创作始于具象，却以独特的表达重塑长久以来存在的形式。拉斯·埃林所演绎的独幕剧，于瞬间的时空中固定事物的核心，唤起观者自我感知中的疑问以及审美体验中纯粹的感受。马丁·戈兰所构建的梦幻世界，迷宫般蜿蜒曲折的路径都通向观者的视觉中心，审视并挑战着观者的视线。“绚烂激烈，而又寂静无声，轻柔却动人心魄。”两位艺术家从自身经历出发，以超越表征的形象论述，赋予作品不断演进变化的生命。
TRIUMPH GALLERY is pleased to present Northern Lights, a double solo exhibition by artists Lars Elling and Martin Golland from January 13 to February 29, 2024, featuring more than 10 paintings created by the two artists in recent years.
The artists Lars Elling and Martin Golland transpose the audience into the inner dimension of their works, immersing them in an instant in which perception surpasses the representation. Within their works, they probe the intricate relationships between the individual and the environment, symbols and expressions, perception and emotions, fiction and reality.
Family is the repetitive theme in Lars Elling’s works, familiar moments infiltrated by surprising or unpleasant elements. The formalistic aspect of His paintings is characterized by the erased and the broken, the pure visual expression has a meaningful function, where story and poetry are strong fundamentals. Martin Golan's paintings offer a meeting point between a built environment and the natural world. I seek to open up a space between living forms and their contexts. Here, the material presence of paint’s sensuality, unruliness, and affective potential overtake the image and its efficacy, embodying forces at the edge of the visible.
Both artists’ practices stem from representation, yet they strive to reshape long-standing modes through unique expressions. The soliloquies enacted in Lars Elling’s works fixate on the essence of “things” in a momentary space-time, eliciting questions of the audience’s self-perception and their pure sensation within an aesthetic experience. Martin Golland’s fabricated reveries, with its labyrinthine pictorial structures, all reach the audience’s visual core, scrutinizing and challenging the audience’s gaze. “Splendid and intense, yet silent, gentle, and soul-stirring.” Through personal experiences, both artists utilize representations that transcend the status quo of figurations, endowing their works with a vibrant, ever-shifting vitality.
