Tang Yinjiu:The Rumbling 唐寅九:轟

Tang Yinjiu 唐寅九

Art of Nature Contemporary is delighted to present exhibition by Tang Yinjiu on January 26, 2024. The concept of “Rumble”originated from the artist Tang Yinjiu's own novel A Chair in the Air. “Rumble” (hōng / gwang1) represents both the crashing sound of heavy objects collapsing and the roaring sound of raging fires. To fall and to rise, rising into the air and dissipating into ashes, are not only the norms of life but also the most essential forms of existence. Through “Rumble,” the artist expresses the attitude towards life, which is exhilarating and powerful, uplifting, and decisive.

Following the success of his previous exhibitions, "Faces" in 2018, "Object Performance" in 2019,  "Garden, Reconciliation with the World" in 2022, and "Melancholic Iceberg" in 2023, Tang Yinjiu  continues to explore themes and artistic expressions. Through poetry, novels, paintings, images,  and installations, he presents significant features of embodied and intertextual creations.

This exhibition features a collection of over 30 paintings and video works. Most of the pieces use mixed materials, plywood, old carpet, cloths and papers for wiping the brushes, lacquer and cement, cutting old paintings into fragments and reconstructing them into new works. In deconstruction and reconstruction, we will glimpse the idea of the Garden series that life persists, cycling endlessly.

天趣當代藝術將於2024年1月26日呈現藝術家唐寅九個展。「轟」的概念最早源於藝術家唐寅九的長篇小說「懸空的椅子」,「轟」既是重物倒塌的謦音,也是烈火升騰的謦音。倒下與升騰,騰空而起與灰紛煙滅,既是生命的常態,也是生命的本質。藝術家將通過「轟」表達他所宣導人生態度,「轟」是暢快的也是有力的,是昂揚的,也是絕決的。

繼 2018「面孔」、2019「物演」、2022「花園,與世界和解」及2023「沈郁的冰山」取得成功之後,唐寅九不斷探索創作主題及表現手法,並通過詩歌、小說、繪 畫、影像與裝置,呈現出體系性與互文性創作的顯著特征。

本次展覽將精選30餘幅架上繪畫及部分影像作品,多數作品都使用了多種混合媒材——舊層板與地毯,擦筆的布與紙,油漆與水泥等, 甚至將—張張舊畫剪成碎片,再重構成新的作品。在解構與重構中,我們將窺見花園系列的主旨——生命不息,循環反復。
