Essences of Paper — Exhibition in The Hague

Essences of Paper —Paintings on Paper of Contemporary Chinese Young Artists

纸上精神——当代中国青年艺术家纸本作品展

The exhibition will show 34 pieces of work from seven young artists: Liu Yuanshan, Zhao Aihua, Duan Bin, Yuan Bin, Kong Fanqiang, Lu Yuwei, and Tang Shu. At the exhibition, artists active in various fields of visual arts are gathered to show the essence of arts in various forms of paper. By inheriting, breaking, reconstructing or criticizing the tradition, the seven artists set forth their opinions and the relationship between paintings and paper. The nature of paper related to industry, communications, everyday life and inexpensiveness has laid a solid foundation for the artists’ creations. Therefore, painting on paper is becoming an important category of contemporary arts in terms of  social culture and painting materials. The exhibition will last until October 18.

* The Opening ceremony of "Essences of Paper" —Paintings on Paper of Contemporary Chinese Young Artists which is hosted by the Shanghai International Culture Association and the Liu Haisu Art Museum, organized by Boyuan Art House, guided by Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Netherlands will be held on 12 October 2013 at 16:00 in Boyuan Art House, The Hague.

由上海市对外文化交流协会和刘海粟美术馆共同主办，荷兰海牙博缘堂艺术馆承办，中国驻荷兰大使馆作为指导单位的“纸上精神——当代中国青年艺术家纸本作品展”将于2013年10月12日16:00在博缘堂画廊开幕。

此次展览展出刘远山、赵爱华、段滨、袁滨、孔繁强、陆煜玮、汤曙七位年轻艺术家的34幅作品，艺术家各自探索着不同的视觉艺术样式，此次一同与纸共谋，演绎不同的纸性作品的艺术精神,以或延续、或打破、或重构、或反讽的方式，阐述起绘画与纸的关系。在绘画与媒材的各种关系中表达自己的见解。工业性、传播性、日常性、廉价性等都是纸张所拥有的现代性属征，它已经为当代艺术家的创作做了自己的精神准备。纸本绘画也正在成为当代艺术中的一个重要类别，不仅是物质媒材上，也是文化意义上。此次展览将持续至18日。
