凯尚画廊荣幸地宣布将于2016年2月18日至3月19日推出重庆籍艺术家钟飙的大型绘画个展“彼岸”。

作为中国当代最著名的艺术家之一，钟飙的作品超现实地诠释现代生活。他用苛刻的方式观察世界，所指向的终极混沌具有吞食一切的力量，而其中仍然蕴含着的那些纯洁，杂糅在各种象征性的对立关系之中，与生活平行。

在“彼岸”个展中，钟飙的新作无论是针对地理或观念而言，都敏锐地呈现出艺术家对于多元文化共存的理解。这些半抽象绘画基于佛教波罗密的教义，通过悟道的意图孕育出纯粹的美德，进而不断地努力去了解彼岸——故事的另外一面。正如中国当代艺术评论家Paul Manfredi 为本次展览所写的文章所言：“作为一位艺术家和思想家，人物和抽象的融合是钟飙作品广泛的象征。他的目标就是用绘画来挑战空间和时间对人类的限制。”

展览将由著名的艺术评论家 Paul Manfredi操刀文章的写作。媒体报道请联系 Ysabelle Cheung 电话 （212。255。4388）或者电子邮件 ysabelle@kleinsungallery。com。更多其他信息请联系 Casey Burry 电话 （212。255。4388） 或者电子邮件 casey@kleinsungallery。com。

Klein Sun Gallery is pleased to announce “The Other Shore，” a solo exhibition of large-scale paintings by Sichuan-based artist Zhong Biao， on view from February 18 through March 19， 2016。

Zhong Biao is a prominent contemporary painter known internationally for his hyper realistic interpretations of modern life。 Maintaining a distance from the parameters of classical portraiture and composition， Zhong’s eye on the world seems a cynical one – his depictions of chaos and destruction are all consuming – yet symbols of purity prevail， proving the symbiotic relationships of opposites in life。

In “The Other Shore，” Zhong presents new paintings that focus keenly on the co-existence of diverse cultures， whether with respect to geography or in ideology。 Based on the Buddhist concept of pāramitā， in which pure virtues are nurtured with the intent of attaining enlightenment， the half-abstract paintings constantly strive to understand the other shore – that is， the other side of the story。 References to terrorist attacks， the media and natural disasters comingle with figures of people expressing puzzlement， sadness， or wonder at the world， eyes looking upwards as their bodies literally take to the skies。 As Chinese contemporary art critic Paul Manfredi wrote in an essay for the exhibition： “The blend of figural and abstract is broadly emblematic of Zhong‘s work， both as a painter and a thinker。 His goal is to use painting to challenge the limits of space and time which frame our experience。”

The exhibition is accompanied by an academic essay by Paul Manfredi。 For press inquiries， please contact Ysabelle Cheung at the gallery （212。255。4388） or via email at ysabelle@kleinsungallery。com。 For all other inquiries， please contact Casey Burry at the gallery （212。255。4388） or via email at casey@kleinsungallery。com。
