GUO Yujian

Artist

The master and Margarita, Oil on canvas, 110x180cm,2022

1992,Born in Changsha,Hunan Province, China,

2015,B.A. Painting of Academy of Fine Arts of Florence, Italy.

Guo Yujian (b.1992) lives and works in Changsha, Hunan Province. He graduated from the Painting Department of Academy of Fine Art of Florence in 2015. His work is often concerned with mythology and personal memories, and he prefers to use delicate techniques to create romantic, subtle and longing atmospheres.

 

His understanding of painting is based on the act of painting itself, and the accumulation of knowledge or theory is meant to make his intuition more concise and effective. In Guo Yujian’s view, the process of painting is more important than being designed to achieve a certain effect, and the ‘intuitive timeliness’ of painting through the human hand is the beauty of the art, which can be produced through a variety of cultural contexts. Guo Yujian’s studies in Italy have helped him to understand Western classical art more deeply in a contemporary context, and the artist combines his own aesthetic preferences and knowledge with his painting skills to create a style that is both classical and contemporary in its visual effects, so the quality of Guo Yujian’s work is a combination of East and West from its origins.

 

On the question of whether the artist should occupy an absolute position in his work, Guo Yujian wishes to remain behind his work, expecting a symbiotic relationship between the work and himself, where the viewers evoke their own perceptual world in front of the work rather than directly feeling a world that belonging to the artist. The artist hopes to present a channel to the viewers’ inners through his understanding of painting and the skills that go with it.

ARCH REVIEW | Gaze in the Dim Glow

“The Task of Alchemy”, Pocono Zhao Yu’s solo exhibition at Arch Gallery, presents a subtle sense of time traveling. As the title of the exhibition alludes to, it is as if the smelting and mysterious deeds of some spiritual objects. Within the whisper that fluttering outside of time, this enormous task is under the invisible dome of time.

ARCH REVIEW | Guo Yujian :Dangerous Complicitiy

When looking at Guo Yujian’s works, what have been depicted is always in a state of flow, and the secret words that are related to each other become images that avoid us and approach us. The work that takes shape on the canvas in our sight is yet to come, in transition, about to embrace change, and it will not push us away until the feeling is fulfil.

ARCH REVIEW | Making Complicity

When the painting is really close to us, the first thing that appears to our eyes is this Le cimetière marin[1] written by Valéry in 1922. The curators Hu Yihang and Zhang Tingzhi, together with artist Guo Yujian, divided the exhibition “Dangerous Complicity” in the gallery into three chapters with words and symbols: imagination, a plateau, and a theatre.

ARCH 采访 | 郭宇剑

从那时起我尝试让白日梦式的想象力渗到画面中去,那些较早之前象征意味较浓的图示也被自然地冲淡了。或许正是因为这种像是被什么浸润过的画面所流淌出的气质和一些与现实相违和的图像内容才造成了类似梦境似的联想。

ARCH 采访 | 梁浩

「IT’S A JOKE别太当回事,儿」是ARCH GALLERY拱形画廊策划的首个群展。展览从时间和空间两个维度探寻了艺术家在各自创作过程中所使用的不同方法观念。为了让大家更进一步地了解艺术家的创作理念,ARCH CHANNEL此番专访梁浩。

ARCH REVIEW | 眼前

当我们把“看见”这一行为比作打开一个空房间的房门,看着这件物体的视线和它存留下的痕迹像是打开门后产生的余音,我们无法准确的追寻余音回荡的轨迹。不断地“看见”,新的东西累积产生同时,不可避免的产生了遗忘与消亡。一张照片保存了一个时间的瞬间,通过回忆,某些时刻得以持续存活,不相关瞬间的外观孤立了出来成为“科学家的信息、摄影师的引用”
