关于展位

About the Project

Gallery Vacancy荣幸地宣布于2024年Paris Internationale艺博会呈现法籍华裔艺术家亚历山大・朱(Alexandre Zhu)与日本艺术家铃木初音的项目,展位号为2.15。

个人项目“临界”呈现艺术家亚历山大・朱(b.1993,法国巴黎)四张大尺幅布面炭笔画,以其技艺的复杂性和表现张力来描绘和揭示亚裔的离散(diaspora)体验。艺术家从他童年在巴黎和上海之间游移的共同记忆以及他拍摄的照片中选取素材,将转瞬即逝的事物延展至不朽的尺度和凝结的永恒。在时间与方向的迷途中,Alexandre Zhu的创作聚合、断裂并挪用,勾勒描摹出个体在文化和民族间寻觅祖国身份与归属感的释然旅程。

作为一位写实主义的绘画者,亚历山大・朱用绘画转译相机镜头所拍摄的情境与景致,再将这些静止的瞬息从先前的现实中一一解构和讲述。宏大的细节不乏刻意而为的琐碎与零散,在语意未尽的餍足中使观者身处一种记忆模糊沉闷、倏然抽离的状态。艺术家他将自己从斑斓的色彩中解脱出来,坦然地偏爱黑白的世界,钟情于炭笔自带的流动性和表现力。参差交叠的笔触和斑驳错杂的明暗饱和度构筑起光线的梯度,尺度与质感倾泻而出,赋予亚历山大・朱的作品以力量感和不稳定性,一现即逝。

与艺术家个人的经历相呼应,作品成为一场既非现实亦非幻象的逃逸,一个陌生又熟悉、否定却包容、个体与集体交织的边缘空间。画面的视角仿佛扑捉了脉搏与呼吸置于虚无缥缈的时刻:一位被亲切地称为《Ma》(2024)的女性的肩膀,抑或是在人们窥视黑暗边缘灯柱时,《Please turn off all electronic devices》(2024)中闪现的尖锐与刺眼。同时,其他的作品与世间的奇妙物质又有着同声的相应,如令人沉浸在海浪涛声中的《Hadal(13)》(2024)和礁岩纹理间的《Threshold》(2024)。

亚历山大・朱的艺术创作以其感染力和固有的优雅唤起杉本博司(Hiroshi Sugimoto)影像中幽冥的气韵和维娅·赛尔敏斯(Vija Celmins)绘画中栩栩如生的质感。他的作品照亮了我们意识流中那些永远无法被完全感知的片段。经由艺术家繁重的手工劳作,这些片段演变成了具体的标记,记录时间连续性的一节。在一个被即时性、疏离和迷失所主宰的世界里,亚历山大・朱幽静的绘画在微茫的瞬间和难以企及的岁月之间徘徊,以一种层迭的、寓言式的方式召唤着运动的叙事与知觉。

Gallery Vacancy is pleased to present the duo project of French artist Alexandre Zhu and  Japanese artist Hatsune Suzuki at Paris Internationale 2024, Booth 2.15.

The solo project Threshold by artist Alexandre Zhu (b. 1993, Paris, France), brings together four large-formatted charcoal drawings on canvas, that are related in their technical intricacy and expressive power to map and unveil the Asian diaspora experience. Citing his childhood memories shared between Paris and Shanghai and captured photographs, Zhu inflates what is ephemeral and fleeting into a monumental scale and frozen eternality in his work. Through combinations, fragmentations and appropriations, Zhu's work arcs one's mitigating journey in search of identity and belonging between his motherlands–culturally and ethnically–amidst a sense of lost time and orientation.

As a pictorial realist, Zhu primarily works with photographic captures of scenes and sightings through his own camera lens; these static moments are then decontextualized from their previous reality into narratives in his drawings. Each drawing, while grand in detail, remains deliberately fragmented, delivering only part of the story and suspending the viewer in a state where recollection is muffled and momentarily far away. Zhu relieves himself from color in preference of a black and white universe and favors the use of charcoal for its fluidity and expressive range. Through percussive strikes and varying degrees of saturation, he builds gradients of light that convey depth and texture, imbuing his works with intensity and a precarious, almost fleeting presence.

Echoing Zhu's personal experience, the works become an escape from neither reality nor hallucination; a liminal space where the strange meets the familiar; the denied meets the inclusive, and the personal meets the collective. His perspective places pulse and breath in ethereal moments: the shoulder that belongs to a woman affectionately called, Ma (2024); or the sharp, blinding instant in Please turn off all electronic devices (2024) when one peers toward a light pole consigned in dark peripheries. Others are attuned to the wondrous matter of the world, filling one with the meditative sound of waves or the grainy texture of rocks.

Zhu's art calls forth in its affectiveness and inherent elegance to the spectral quality of Hiroshi Sugimoto's stills and the verisimilitudes found in Vija Celmins's paintings. His work illuminates temporal fragments that escape our full perception in the stream of consciousness. And it is through the onerous labor of the artist's hand that they materialize as markings, becoming part of a continuum of time. In a world dominated by immediacy, separation and loss, Zhu's static drawings meander between modest moments of proximity to years beyond the reach of waiting, summoning narratives and sensations of movement in a layered and allegorical way.
