“光芒涌入”展览的核心设计构思在于光影的叙事性构建。夏禹巧妙地运用光影作为画面的主导元素,通过坦培拉技法的精细处理,营造出一种独特的光影效果。这种效果不仅增强了画面的视觉冲击力,更深刻地传达了艺术家对于时间、空间以及存在本质的深刻思考。夏禹将光影视为一种叙事语言,通过其在画面中的流动与变化,讲述着一个个关于生命、时代与记忆的故事。
The core design concept of the “Light Pouring In” exhibition revolves around the narrative construction of light and shadow. Xia Yu ingeniously employs light and shadow as the dominant elements in his compositions, leveraging the intricate techniques of Tempera painting to create a unique visual effect. This effect not only intensifies the visual impact of the paintings but also profoundly conveys the artist’s profound reflections on time, space, and the essence of existence. Xia Yu treats light and shadow as a narrative language, utilizing their flow and transformation within the canvases to narrate stories of life, eras, and memory.

夏禹在“光芒涌入”展览中展现了对坦培拉技法的深刻理解和创新性应用。他通过不断实验与革新,将这一古老绘画媒介与现代审美及设计理念相融合,创造出具有鲜明个人风格的绘画语言。夏禹对坦培拉底层亮白底胚的极致打磨,使作品表面呈现出如胶片影像般的颗粒感与光晕效果,这一技法上的突破极大地丰富了画面的层次感和表现力。同时,他对光影的极致追求和精妙控制,使得画面中的光影流转与时空交错成为了一种视觉上的奇观。
In the “Light Pouring In” exhibition, Xia Yu showcases his profound understanding and innovative application of the Tempera technique. Through relentless experimentation and innovation, he integrates this ancient painting medium with modern aesthetics and design concepts, crafting a distinctively personal painting language. Xia Yu’s meticulous polishing of the luminous white ground of the Tempera underlayer imparts a grainy texture and halo effect reminiscent of film imagery to the surface of his works. This technical breakthrough significantly enhances the depth and expressiveness of the paintings. Simultaneously, his relentless pursuit and exquisite control of light and shadow transform the flow of light and the intertwining of time and space into a visual spectacle.

在“光芒涌入”展览中,夏禹通过光影的叙事性构建和坦培拉技法的创新性应用,引发了一场关于光与存在的深度对话。光作为视觉的媒介和情感的载体,在夏禹的作品中扮演了至关重要的角色。它不仅是一种物理现象,更是一种哲学思考的象征。夏禹通过光影的变幻莫测和画面的虚实相生,探讨了光与存在之间的复杂关系。他认为光是人感知世界、理解存在的重要方式之一,而艺术则是将这种感知和理解转化为视觉形象的重要手段。
In the “Light Pouring In” exhibition, Xia Yu initiates a profound dialogue between light and existence through the narrative construction of light and shadow and the innovative application of the Tempera technique. Light, as a medium of vision and a carrier of emotion, plays a pivotal role in Xia Yu’s works. It transcends being merely a physical phenomenon to become a symbol of philosophical contemplation. Through the unpredictable transformations of light and shadow and the interplay between reality and illusion in his paintings, Xia Yu delves into the intricate relationship between light and existence. He believes that light is one of the fundamental ways for humans to perceive the world and comprehend existence, and art serves as a vital means to transform these perceptions and understandings into visual imagery.

Xia Yu, born in Anhui in 1981, is an outstanding alumnus of Studio 3, Oil Painting Department, China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), Class of 2004, and currently resides in Beijing. As an artistic pioneer of the post-80s generation, Xia Yu’s works profoundly reflect the life trajectory of his contemporaries, spanning from rural origins to urbanization, intertwining the warmth of family with the challenges of the workplace. The figures in his paintings exude a rich local flavor, with full faces and brows that betray a gentle and serene demeanor. This quality prompts contemplation on whether it is a natural endowment or a product of societal refinement. In his scene settings, the mundane intertwines with the dramatic, as characters are depicted in poses ranging from elegant leisure to humorous haste, vividly capturing the myriad facets of life in a fast-paced metropolis.Employing the Tempera technique as his medium, Xia Yu delicately softens the emotional edges, weaving ordinary faces into a collective portrait of the times, revealing the collective memories and emotional resonances of a generation amidst China’s rapid development. His artistic practice is not merely a profound insight into individual lives but also an academic exploration and documentation of the zeitgeist.
