  • The last of five professors, who are coming to Berlin to enter a dialogue with the works of Tim Eitel, Kai Schiemenz and David Schnell, is Guo Jianlian. . . Guo Jianlian (*1977). The window, as a symbol for man‘s victory against nature, is a disenchanted visual scenery. No matter will they be some ancient ones, or the ones in the modern urban spaces, all will give out some spacial logic between the interiors and the exteriors, man and Nature. The windows in the modern living space contain both the secret paths and charming forms, and how they have been becoming the spaces for mixing, entanglingband interacting between mankind and the world, which is a proactive answer to man‘s living conditions and dilemma in this technological modern epoch. The window has aroused and forged a world for dialogues between interiors and exteriors, inside and outside. As a mirror, we can see the outside world through the windows, yet at the same time, we let others catch a glimpse of our inner hearts. The window has constructed a new possibility for seeing and being-seen. The window is reversible, just like the the seeing of the human, as will be that of paintings. The very essence of the paintings is an eternal proposition on the exteriors and interiors. . .

  • Yin Yangping is also one of the five professors from the China Academy of Art who are presenting their works in the exhibition „West Lake: Breaking Open“ at the Berlin gallery. . . Jin Yangping (*1971) studied at the department of oil painting at the China Academy of Art where he is now working as a teacher. Jin constantly visualizes social phenomena and tries to reveal the truth behind these occurrences. He recently turned his focus toward human beings that constitute cities the urban creatures. His work is mediated through curtain painting. The theme of works stretches from the illusions of the urban landscape to confronted with magical and witty reality at present; he uses canvas and video to capture the various phenomena and events of our generation. As a result, compared to the impetuous reality, a very calm and serene image is portrayed in the works. Jin continually breaks down the restraints upon the language of painting, and tries to lead us through a theatre method to reflect ourselves through artworks. #westlake #berlin #art #hangzhou #china #clappinghands

  • Today we introduce you to Yu Xuhong. His triptych „Light at Night - Time Difference“ from 2013 is also part of the group exhibition „West Lake: Breaking Open“. . . Yu Xuhong (*1975) uses his brushes to make his images. It is the several layers of paint, the intersection of shape and color, the evolution of void and solidity of light and shadow, and composition of each stroke, that illustrates the growth of an object and the timing of painting, while through such illustration the painter’s inner experience is exposed. “Light of Night” captures the diffused light, depicts the shadow, and touches the image. “Turning what is invisible visible” lies in the interaction of mind and object, in the alternation of idea and form, from which the image is derived. . . Detail from „Light at Night - Time Difference“, Oil on canvas, 80 x 300 cm, 3 pieces (each 80 x 100 cm) #wastlake #breakingopen #hangzhou #berlin

  • Li Qing (*1981) graduated from the oil painting department at the China Academy of Art in 2007. Fascinated with exploring a viewer’s perception of art and breaking down conventional approaches regarding an audience’s interaction with works of art, Li has created innovative pieces that do just that. Like stepping through a portal into history, Li Qing’s series „Neighbour’s Window“ is a glimpse into Hong Kong’s past. Through bottle green and dirty brown window frames reminiscent of colonial buildings from the 1970s and 80s, Li’s paintings peer into night scenes dominated with giant neon lights. . . Li Qing is also part of the exhibition „West Lake: Breaking Open“ at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin. #westlake #berlin #chineseart #hangzhou #window
