2016

 

       2016年，我计划在长江沿岸用水墨的形式画画。内容画什么具体也没想好。带上笔墨就去进行了两次短暂驻留。第一次来到了长江的出海口崇明岛，在岛上游荡了一个月。找了些大堤，滩涂，树木等户外地方来画。之后又去了重庆，选择长江岸边的石头、立交桥、建筑物等处画了第二批。这些图案大多是因地制宜，根据所画位置和表面质感来即兴创作，呈现某种能量赋形。由于长江岸边的缘故，这一批作品都带有水生生物过渡到爬行动物的形态。

        In 2016, I planned to make some drawings on the banks of Yangtze River, the details of what to paint is not planned yet. I just brought my brush and ink, and went there for two short residencies. During the first trip, I went to Chongming Island, which locates in the estuary of Yangtze River to the East Sea. I wandered in the island for a whole month, and painted on  outdoor places like dams, shores and trees. During the second trip, I went to Chongqing, this time I painted on rocks on the shore, flyover, buildings etc. Most of these works are tailored to the location and texture, hoping to present the shapes of some powerful forms. It is also because of the shore, these works bear the shape of transition from aquatic organisms to reptiles.

关于拉内卡

    “拉内卡”是一个甘肃南部地区的地名，对坐在汽车上一晃而过的旅行者来说，它更像是一个出现在高速公路信号牌上的未知领域。我将“拉内卡”作为引发某种绘画形式的开源代码，创作形式包括：地景绘画、水墨涂鸦、纸本绘画、布面绘画、抽象小品等。

     这些作品从动机上更趋向于去捕获意识的流动形式、符号的初始状态、生物体的生长机制等。“拉内卡”尝试让绘画与盖亚系统、意识产生机能发生共振，将特定能量运动的轨迹被解析成图像。

About Ranaka

       Ranaka is a place in southern part of Gansu province, it is more like an uncharted field appears on a highway sign for a traveler on the car. “Ranaka” for me is like an open source code to trigger some kind of drawing, the form of creations including: ink graffiti, drawing on paper, drawing on canvas, abstract sketches etc.

      These works tend to capture the flow of consciousness, the initial state of symbols and the growth mechanism of organisms etc. “Ranaka” tries to allow drawing resonate with Gaia system and consciousness production, and interprets the trajectory of certain energy movement into images.
