本次展览将集中呈现艺术家饶有兴致探索的动物“肖像”水墨创作。邵帆自幼接受中国传统文化的浸润，并在久远的历史中寻找着适合于他的当下叙述。他游刃有余地运用水墨、油画、雕塑、设计、建筑，甚至到造园等多种媒材实践其艺术语言。邵帆的作品内敛而有张力，富有深厚人文特质。邵帆以其一贯的安静审慎的视角表达着对当下世间万物的态度。

Galerie Urs Meile Beijing is honored to announce Shao Fan (Yu Han)’s exhibition Big Rabbit +. This exhibition will concentrate on the artist’s intriguing， traditional ink explorations of animal portraits with contemporary sense. Since his childhood， Shao Fan has been immersed in traditional Chinese culture and has searched through its long history for things that suit his contemporary style. He easily makes use of traditional ink， oil paint， sculpture， design， architechture， and even gardening， among other forms of media in his practice and artistic language. Shao Fan’s works are restrained， full of tension and profound cultural features. With his usual careful perspective， Shao Fan expresses his attitude toward everything in today’s world.

邵帆为我们展开的世界如此沉静而不喧哗，朴拙而不耀眼，宛如时空已在此静滞，观者能清楚地感受到这位“不可救药的古典主义者”对传统文化的中正和不偏不倚的迷恋，以及对艺术在当代环境中发展的一种个人化的坚持。

The world Shao Fan articulates is quiet， not loud. It is sincere， rather than dazzling， as if time and space have stopped. The viewer can clearly feel this hopeless classicist’s love for traditional culture’s symmetry， righteousness， and impartiality， as well as his persistence in developing a kind of personalization in this contemporary art environment.

配合此次展览，我们还将制作相关出版物，将收录鲁斯·诺克（Ruth Noack，艺术评论家、策展人）的评论文章。

A catalogue published by the gallery， with a text by Ruth Noack (curator and critic， Berlin) will accompany the exhibition.
