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 INTERVIEW | Guo Yujian

Since then, I have tried to let daydream-like imagination seep into the picture, and those earlier, more symbolic images have also been naturally diluted. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the temperament that seems to be infiltrated by the picture and some image contents that are contrary to reality that cause the association like a dream.

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 | 周轶伦

周轶伦的作品本质上只指向物本身,观众如何去理解其作品取决于一个时代所赋予大众的经验与记忆。“我喜欢试验失败,每次失败的剩余痕迹都是完美的新作品局部。”

ARCH 采访 | 谢燚

他的作品长期以来从“劳动”这个常用的词汇出发,不断向现实世界里以“语言”为基础的权利追问。“我只希望我认为重要的东西能被大家知道,那就是”具体的劳动“在现实世界中是如何”做功“的。”

ARCH 采访 | 郑江

“边界惊险但精彩,像绘制一个形象生动的轮廓线时一样充满诱惑力。我觉得创作过程本身就包含对艺术形式的思考,两者应该是一体、贴切的。”
