方力钧， 中国 「后89新艺术潮流」先锋。自1990年代初，方力钧以其标志性的「光头」形象，开创了中国当代艺术的「泼皮文化」与「玩世现实主义」（栗宪庭，1991）。方力钧自创作以来，一直以「像野狗一样生活」自醒自寓。「人&像」作为其创作的核心题材，解构性地编织了时代面孔与大众脸谱之间的交流与交融，超验性地传达出时代与生命的痛感与通感。

本次展览以「人&像」这一研究方力钧既经典又全新的视角为主脉络，围绕「内观——自画像」、「对照——朋友们」、「尘光——众生相」三个主结构单元，尽力呈现方力钧的创造历程， 尤其是近十年来，他在诸多媒介领域甚至NFT虚拟空间的新实验、新动向 。从主单元结构出发，「通道」、「图像」、「出版」三个部分，为澳门方力钧首展呈现以时间线索展开 的「人&像」侧影。本展览邀请每一位观众，通过方力钧的「人& 像」，触摸当代国人的脉轮，感受到自己心灵深处的声音。

A pioneer of China’s “Post-1989 New Art Movement”, Fang Lijun’s iconic ‘bald-headed’ figures have pioneered the “Rascal Culture” and “Cynical Realism” (Li Xianting, 1991) in Chinese contemporary art since the early 1990s. Since the beginning of his artistic career, Fang Lijun has constantly been identifying himself with “living like a wild dog”. As one of the key motifs of his art, Fang Lijun’s “Human & Figures” works deconstruct the interplay and mixture between the typical portraits and stereotypical faces of an era, capture the shared pains and feelings of the present time and life in a transcendental manner.

Using “Human & Figures” as a narrative clue, this exhibition aims to provide a classic yet fresh perspective on Fang Lijun. We have chosen to present three main sections: “Introspection: Self-Portraits”, “Mutual Reflections: Friends”, and “The Light of Dust: Human”, which strive to showcase the creative journey that the artist has taken, with a particular focus on his new experiments with a variety of media that range from traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, print, and sculpture to the virtual space of NFT during the last decade. Besides these sections, the curatorial team also attempt to elaborate on the theme of “Human & Figures” in this first solo exhibition of Fang Lijun in Macao with a temporal clue through three additional displays of “Passage”, “Video”, and “Publications”. All viewers, both online and offline, are invited to take a glimpse, through Fang Lijun’s works, into the zeitgeist of contemporary China and lend a listening ear to our own internal voices.
