BROWNIE Project 画廊正在展出艺术家王行云个展「毛刺时间」,呈现艺术家近两年创作的代表作品。展览于2024年4月6日开幕,并将持续至2024年6月6日。

王行云的这一系列作品是复杂的心灵景观。两年的心理学学习最后却将她带入绘画。“可能我的第一语言是绘画。画好以后我才知道我到底是怎么想的。”对她来说,绘画是一种潜意识的行为,自然而然不需要思考。作为一位成长在保守环境下的酷儿女性,她面临过许多“不合群”导致的恐惧与伤害。得以逃离外界的噪音,钻进自己的声场,塑造只有“我”的世界或许是对当年沉默自己的救赎——让画说话。


大尺幅带来沉浸感,远看似乎是轻盈甜蜜的抽象⻛景。走近才察觉艺术家思想的载体并不是更为常⻅的坚韧帆布,而是更为脆弱 敏感的纸张。纸的制作过程注定了它拥有比帆布更多的呼吸感——植物纤维被绞碎、压平、晾干后留下独一无二的孔洞与纹理。水彩流淌在纸张的纹理中,蔓延,随意而不可控。所经之处卷起层层纸张,勾勒出连绵起伏的相貌。艺术家又将纸切割、撕扯, 揉皱再抚平,好似暴力事实却轻柔而克制——这些细小伤疤隐藏在庞大的色彩下,微不可查。层层叠叠的薄纸被混合了胶质的颜 料覆盖在最底层的纸面上,遮盖住了那些本就不明显的纸张伤痕,但其不可避免的褶皱却像伤疤,沉默呐喊着曾经的伤害。



BROWNIE Project is now presenting artist Xingyun Wang's solo exhibition "glitch", showcasing her latest works on paper. The exhibition opens on April 6, 2024, and will last through June 6, 2024.

This series of works by Xingyun Wang is a complex spiritual landscape. Two years of study in psychology eventually led her to painting. "Maybe my first language is painting. Only after I finished painting did I know what I was thinking." For Wang, painting is a subconscious behavior that happens naturally, without any thinking. As a queer woman growing up in a rather conservative environment, Wang faced many misunderstandings and fears simply because she’s "different". Escaping the noise of the outside and submerged in a world of her own voice maybe the redemption of her silent past – let the paintings speak now. 

The almost human size painting indicates a sense of immersion. Observers tend to fall in the illusion of a sweet and light landscape painting from the far. However, the closer they get, the more they realize the essence of the work – the carrier of the artist subconscious is not canvas, which is commonly used, but paper, fragile and brittle. Paper can breathe, through the unique textures and holes left by minced and flattened plant fibers. It allows the watercolor to flow naturally and aimlessly. Layers of layers of paper curled up as the watercolor passes - building undulating features. The paper was constantly cut, tear, crumpled and smoothed by the artist. However violent as it may sound like, the artist was gentle and restrained. Traces are too minor to notice, lost in the enormous color field, undetectable. Tissue paper are stick to the base by gelatin-mixed paint, covering up the essentially unnoticeable traces. Wrinkles are inevitable, like paper scars, silently shouting the hurt from the past.


































王行云1997年出生于北京,现居纽约。通过纸上绘画,她的抽象作品深入探讨了女性主义、 酷儿文化和跨文化体验,提供了关于个人和心理叙事的深刻探索。王行云的艺术过程涉及将 薄薄的纸张层叠起来,形成脆弱性与韧性之间交错纹理的表面,创造出反映身体与景观之间 微妙互动。


王行云在多个展览中展出了她的作品。她近期的展览包括在中国上海的 BROWNIE Project 举办的个展“毛刺时间”(2024年); 中国杭州的Zian Gallery举办的 “江湖: 中心的离散”(2024年); 在纽约 Hunter College的 “Thank God Every Day That the Whole House Did Not Burn Down”(2023年);在纽约布鲁克林的Bob’s Gallery的 “I Want Enough Luck”(2023年); 在纽约 205 Hudson Gallery 的“Terrible Terrible”(2023年); 在布鲁克林的Pierogi Gallery的 “Pulp”(2022年); 以及在马萨诸塞州波士顿的 Piano Craft Gallery的 “Forbidden Fruit"”(2021年)。王行云曾在巴德学院学习,并在纽约州立大学帕切斯学院获得了美术学士学位(2021年)。她目前是亨特学院美术硕士候选人(2022-2025 年)。

Her abstract works delve into the realms of feminism, queerness, and intercultural experiences, offering a poignant exploration of personal and psychological narratives.
