EVENT DESCRIPTION
The exhibition “The Realm of Vision” brings together the creative practices of artists Zhao Peizhi, Zhang Jian, and Yafeng Duan, who each explore the dual structure of perception and feedback through their unique artistic languages. This exploration not only pertains to the perception and representation of the external world but also points to the introspection and reshaping within the subject. In their works, some reconstruct and appropriate faces and cultural symbols to provoke new understandings of identity and the other; others interweave natural landscapes and human scenes on canvas, creating a visual experience that is both profound and intense; or they guide the empirical world toward a transcendent perceptual dimension, where the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and colour generates a vibrant, evocative resonance.
Three artists intertwine the flow of history with individual memory, creating unique paintings that present the complex and dynamic symbiotic relationship between perceived memory and environmental existence, as shaped by distinct creative individuals. Zhao Peizhi’s work focuses on depicting everyday figures and scenes, transcending mere physical representation. He emphasizes the emotional sedimentation of individual memory and social concerns within the canvas, capturing seemingly trivial yet vibrantly alive moments with simple and sincere brushstrokes. In his paintings, figures are not only microcosms of social reality but also bearers of inner monologues. Through a focused gaze on details and an infusion of emotion, he extends fleeting experiences into visually profound narratives. His creations reflect a deep respect for humanity and nature, eschewing extravagance and clamour to present a rich and restrained humanistic spirit.
