    继 “怀旧•北京巴黎”马嬿泠王玉两位艺术家的双个展成功举办之后，对画空间即将于2009年夏末迎来第二个双个展“留一点想象空间”。
 

    此次参展的艺术家分别是来自四川的，卡通一代领军人物李继开，以及跨越摄影，油画，国画等众多媒介进行创作的王劲松。与上次展览不同，这次我们并不着重于发掘两位艺术家作品的相似点，而更加看重他们之间的区别，包括创作风格和作品关注点上的不同。藉此，来考察不同时代之于艺术家的影响，同时挖掘其更深层次上的一些共通之处。
 

    每个时代都有其独特的面孔，在这些不同时代背景下成长起来的艺术家也有着各自的特点。作为70年代出生的艺术家代表，李继开的作品多是以个人的，微观的角度展开叙述。作品中充满了对于自我的探索，从而体现了一代人对于自我认知的一种态度。而生于60年代的王劲松则偏向于宏观的叙事方式，他更加关注社会类的话题。其个人对于某些问题的态度和看法，往往隐含在他所选择的艺术形象及其表现形式之中。
 

    无论宏观还是微观，两位艺术家都对他们所处的时代做出了明确的反映。无论是对自我身份认定的模糊，还是对于现实世界不停歇的嘲讽，艺术本身的社会及人文特征决定了艺术家创作与社会变迁以及大环境之间千丝万缕的联系，这两个分别来自60和70年代的艺术家究竟怎样以属于他们本身及其时代的语言进行自我表述，究竟怎样处理了时代带给艺术的不同影响，究竟怎样在各自的时代独领风骚又彼此相照？我们留一点想象空间给所有的观众。

    Leaving Some Room for Imagination
    Press Release

    After the success of our dual exhibition “Nostalgy•Beijing Paris” with Man Yanling and Wang Yu, we are going to open a second dual exhibition entitled “Leaving Some Room for Imagination” at the end of the summer of 2009.

    One of the participating artists this time is Li Jikai, from Sichuan, a representative artist of the “Cartoon Generation”; the other one is Wang Jinsong who works in different fields such as photography, oil painting, ink and wash, etc. Unlike the last dual exhibition, we don’t put emphasis on the discovery of the similarity in the two artists; instead, we pay more attention on their differences, such as differences of styles and focusing points of their art, with a view to research on the influence that different times have put on them, and to discover their common points in a deeper sense.

    Every epoch possesses its own character, and artists grown up in different periods have their own particularity too. As a representative artist from the 70’s, Li Jikai tells his stories from a personal, microcosmic angle in his paintings that are filled with researches on the Self, which shows some attitude of his generation on autognosis. Yet Wang Jinsong from the 60’s leans more towards a macroscopic narration in which he concerns himself more with social subjects. His attitude and opinions towards things are implicated in the figures and expression forms that he chooses.

    Either microcosmic or macroscopic, both of them reflect the times that they belong to. Be it with an indistinct self identity, or with an endless spoof of reality, the social and humanistic characters of art itself make a definite connection between art creations and social changes in an overall environment. These two artists from 60’s and 70’s, how do they actually express themselves in a language which belongs to themselves but also to their time, how do they deal with the different impact their epoch has made on art, how do they reflect on each other even as they became trend leaders separately in their period? We’ll leave some room for the imagination of our audience.
