宙焰·序章

“曾经，在没有昨天的那一天，一场不讲道理的大爆炸孕育出了一切，创造出了你我，给出了未来。对未知世界充满好奇是每个生命体的DNA，站在“未来”的人类，始终以不同的方式寻找未知的源头与生命的指引。探索是需要付出代价的，知晓的越多越感到无助与迷茫，幸亏艺术与科学还一直在文明的长河中携手相伴、互帮你我，为人类这尚且孤独的种族提供着庇护与尊严。”

——金瀚

Flame of the Universe: Prologue

“For a time, on that day with the absence of yesterday, an unreasonable big bang gave birth to everything, thus creating both you and me and providing us with the future. Curiosity about the unknown world is the DNA of each and every organism. Human beings, who view everything from the perspective of “future”, always look for the uncharted source and the guidance on life in different ways. Exploration is based on paying a price. The more one knows the more helpless and perplexed he feels. Fortunately, art and science always walk hand in hand in the long river of civilization. They help each other, providing the shelter and dignity for human beings, a solitary race.”

—Jin Han

洞察NO.2 40x50cm x2 布面油画 2022

燃烧纪元 480x280cm 布面油画 2023

Foreword:

The observation of the sky is one of the major hallmarks of human civilization. The calendar serves as the commencement of the observation of the sky as science. With alien stars as the calendar and the flame as the sequence, Jin Han, an artist, has triggered a flamboyant storm of the universe, thus becoming a new way for artist Jin Han to create the description of civilization.

燃烧星云-木卫一 230x180cm 布面油画 2023

本次展览十余幅作品，涵盖了“星云”“星图”“洞察”“星辰日历”等系列，分别从浩瀚的广垠到本体的内溯，反映了艺术家对于不同维度叠层的思考。“星图”中层层剥开的内部结构，丝丝入扣的拓扑形线条，都展示出艺术家深厚的绘画功底。《流动与时间》《螺旋与时间》等作品体现了艺术家对于时间与空间横向纵向的充分考量。“时间”在他的作品中收束贯穿为讨论其他媒介、现象和哲学理念的介质。“洞察”系列作品更是以双联画的形式，将宏观与微观、实在与意识、瞬间与流动并置讨论，智育思想的弹性。

燃烧星云-木星  230x180cm 布面油画 2023

This time, more than ten works are exhibited, including the series such as “nebulae”, “star chart”, “insight” and “stars and calendar”. The exhibition, from the endless horizon to the connotation of noumenon, reflects the artist’s meditation on the lamination of different dimensions. In “start chart”, both its layered internal structure and intertwined topological lines display the artist’s solid painting attainment. Works such as Flow and Time and Spin and Time give express to the artist’s ample consideration of time and space as a horizontal dimension and a longitudinal dimension, respectively. In his works, “time” serves as the medium for discussing other media, phenomena and philosophical ideas from beginning to end. And in the manner of diptych, the works in the series of “insight”, all the more juxtapose and discuss the categories such as macro-level & micro-level, reality & consciousness and moment and flow, hence being pregnant with the elasticity of thinking.

星辰日历NO.4 150x200cm 布面油画 2023

金瀚作品基调宏丽，画面中粗粝的绘画痕迹像庞贝壁画勾连起文明与历史，但艺术家同时以朱诺号探测器的主动脱轨坠木等天文事件为创作蓝本，从不同的尺度出发，建立以绘画语言为刻度的天外历法。整个展览是追问式的，普罗米修斯引来的火种经人之手后又去往何方？时间是否独立于人存在？以追问，探真相。

异星历法 150x200cm 布面油画 2023

The works of JIn Han are characterized by the grandeur in keynote. In his panting, the coarse painting vestiges look like Pompeii Murals, which connect civilization and history. However, at the same time, the artist, taking astronomic incidents like the Juno probe’s active dis-orbition from the Jupiter as the blueprint, sets up the extraterrestrial calendar, with painting language as its scale. The whole exhibition is inquisitive. When did the kindling material brought in by Prometheus go after being used? Is time independent from human beings? Through making inquiries, efforts are made to explore the truth.

金瀚以绘画作为“母语”，不止为观众“翻译”不可见的星与辰，更带我们探索不可及的微与精。“不要理解得太快”是拉康多次提出的告诫，金瀚则用来提示正在“阅读”作品的观众。我们看到的“星图”“风暴”“眼球”都是艺术家作为“大他者”向观众提供的符号投射，他真正的目的似乎是为了悬置观者的先验，不断地发出质疑——何为本质。

With his paintings as the “mother language”, Jin Han not only “translates” invisible stars, but also guides us to explore unfathomable minuteness and subtleness. “Don’t get an excessively rapid understanding” is the admonishment repeatedly proposed by Lacan while Jin Han uses it to remind the audience who are “reading” his works. “Star charts”, “storm” and “eyeballs” seen by us are all the projection of the signs provided by the artist as “the big other” for the audience. His real purpose is seemingly to suspend a priori knowledge of viewers and continuously raise questions—what is the essence.  

哲学之“论”作为方向，分化出了宇宙论、本体论、存在论等等，哲学家们在不同的“论”间诠释不同主张。艺术相对于哲学的优势在于，可以以更直观且抽象的方式讲故事、说道理。金瀚的作品则是放大了这种优势。异星宇宙是金瀚的“他方世界”，燃烧赤焰是他的精神烙印。朱诺号终将逝去的挽歌在木星云雾中回荡，朱庇特的面纱依然如雪莱描绘那样，“面纱后面潜伏着希望、命运，这对孪生子，它们一直在那裂口之上编织其影子……在这景象之上，一种精神在极力寻求真知”。而观众，也可以借助金瀚提供的译制入口，向着那最远王座的阶梯，更进一步，再一步！

As a direction, the “theory” of philosophy has evolved into cosmology, ontology, the theory of being and so on. Philosophers interpret their different viewpoints between different “theories”. Compared with philosophy, the advantage of art lies in that it can tell stories and reason things out in a more intuitive and abstract manner. This advantage is augmented in Jin Han’s works. The universe with alien stars is the “other world” of Jin Han and burning red flame is his spiritual imprint. The elegy about the eventual passing of Juno probe resonates in the clouds and mists of the Jupiter. And the veil of Jupiter is still like what was described by Shelley. “Behind the veil lurk hope and destiny as twins. They are always weaving the shadow on the fissure… Above the scene, a spirit is desperately looking for genuine knowledge”. As for the audience, they can also resort to the entrance of translation offered by Jin Han before marching on and on toward the ladder of the most remote throne!
