由考拉空间策划并主办的汪燎个展“三只耳朵” 将于2月27日下午四时开幕。此次展览不仅是考拉空间搜罗计划之一，也同样是本空间推出的首次个展。本次展览将展出汪燎近期创作的18幅作品。

“三只耳朵”并非是对常规形象的反驳，更是对于艺术家个人内心所发出的质疑。耳朵如同声音，在这个多元的环境下，除了自己的声音，还有各种杂乱的声音干扰着自己，也不能够单纯地去做自己想做的事。现实与理想之间本身不契合，不然理想也不为之理想，艺术家希望通过画面中每一个具有生命的个体来对现实凝视与思考；耳朵如同窥视，那些想张望的、想掌控的，是能成为现实的理想，还是变成泡影的现实呢？

“Three Ears”， the solo exhibition planned and hosted by Koala Space will be opened at 4 p。m。 on February 27th。 This exhibition is not only part of our Solo Project， but also the first solo exhibition launched by the space。 The exhibition will show 18 works recently created by Wang Liao。

“Three Ears” is not a rejection to the conventional images， but rather the question from the heart of the artist himself。 Ears are like sounds。 In this diverse environment， apart from one‘s own voice， there are also various disordered sounds interfering ourselves， making it impossible for us to purely do whatever we want to do。 The reality and ideal do not fit in themselves， or else the ideal cannot be ideal anymore。 The Artist wants to express the observation and thinking on reality through every living individual in the scene； ears are like peeping。 Those looking around and eager to control， are they the ideal to become reality， or the reality to become bubbles？

汪燎自述：

对于我，理想与现实之间不断加深的矛盾是我主要的困扰，同样也是我作品中主要的情感来源。都说艺术家，同时也是理想主义者，不能说善于幻想，而是总想着有那么一天出人头地，成为比偶像更为成功的人，并且用这么“美好的一天”来支撑心中的艺术理想与现实。80年代出生的一批还可以用“年轻”来定义的艺术家群体，独具个性而自我，用自己坚硬的外壳反抗着外界施压，不像上辈们与社会链接的那么紧密，我认为更多地是在与自己做斗争。而我作为一位年轻群体的一员，自认为独立的一塌糊涂，时常听不进半句箴言。有这样一句话“有的人，天生就是一颗倒长的树，他追赶着自己的最初”，我表示同感。

尼采也说：“人类只是桥梁，一边是动物，一边是超人，而人的生命应该从动物这一边走到超人那一边”。“超人”是尼采形容人类走向新物种一面所形成的单一类别。一个人如果只生活在群体里，那当然是不够的，应该设法去做一个“超人”。我把这句话作为我的勉励，是想说，在每天都会有展览发生的艺术大环境下，面对着邮箱中一封封的展览资讯以及麻木感，怎样去成为艺术环境下的“超人”，着实是我们这些埋头画画的人所要思考的。

我不无时无刻这样想着，在我每一幅作品里，都在挣脱集体寻找一个自我。想把自己弄明白，所以画面中时常会出现多个我，一个是我自己本身，其他的将是与之对话的影子，“我”的角色有很多，或许画面中一只散落的耳朵、一只被砸断的脚、一双引火的翅膀，也或许只是一个残缺的局部。

我存在于一个充满自然的环境中，动物、树枝，它们相互交叠。我一直钟情于动物形象以及在生活中随处可见的东西，将它们组合在一起，碰撞出矛盾的共同体，同时也是一个在选择中的犹豫与不安，矛盾的关系在我的画面中占着重要的位置，尽管它们有时候显得突兀，但它们比现实更加真实。当我沉浸在由不同生物组成的世界里时，它们对于观者来说是虚构、可爱与单纯；而对于我，却是宁静的、冷冷地反思出的成人世界，真实地发生过而留下的痕迹。面对着这些想得到的，未得到的、失去的、想拾取的，它们散落在画面的每一处，到底应该去做一个怎样的选择？

Wang Liao’s self-introduction：

To me， the increasingly deepened contradiction between the ideal and the reality is my main trouble。 It is also the main emotional source of my works。 They all said that the artists are also the idealists。 You cannot say that they are always good at fantasy， but they really always think about becoming successful one day， to be a more successful person than their idol， and use this “beautiful day” to support the ideal and reality of art in their heart。 The generation born in the 1980s can also be defined as the “young” group of artists， provided with a unique personality and ego， resisting the outside pressure with their own hard shell。 Unlike their ancestors， they are not linked to society so closely。 I consider they are fighting with themselves more。 However， as a member of the young group， I believe that I‘m completely independent， often cannot listen to even a half motto。 There is a saying that “some people are born a reverse tree， chasing their own beginning”。 I feel the same way。

Nietzsche also said： “Man is a bridge。 On the one side is an animal， and on the other side is a superman。 Human life should start from the animal side to the other side of the superman”。 “Superman” is the single category of Nietzsche’s description of the human being stepping to the new species。 If a person only lives in a group， it is certainly not enough。 He should try to be a “superman”“。 I put this sentence as I encouragement， because I want to say that every day there will be exhibitions happening in the big art environment。 Facing one after another e-mails of exhibition information and numbness， how to become the a “superman” in the art environment is indeed we who are engrossed in painting should think about。

I‘ve been thinking like this all the time。 In every piece of work， I am trying to get rid of the group to find my ego。 I want to figure out who I am， so there are often several me in the painting。 One is myself， and the others will be the shadows talking to it。 There are many roles of “me”。 It may be a scattered ear， a smashed off foot， a pair of pyrophoric wings， or just a crippled part of me。

I exist in an environment full of nature， where animals and branches overlap each other。 I always love the animal images and things that can be seen everywhere in life， and combine them together， to crash out the community of contradictions。 Also， I hesitate and feel uneasy in selections。 The contradictory relationship occupies an important position in my picture。 Although they sometimes seem abrupt， they are more real than reality。 When I am immersed in the world composed of different organisms， they are fictional， lovely and pure to the observers； however， to me， they reflect the adult world， as well as the trace that are left after they really happened quietly and calmly。 In the face of these things people want to get， have not got yet， have lost， and want to pick up， what choice on earth shall we make as they are scattered in every corner of the picture？
