Zhu Cun-wei: Thinking of Alienation
Sep 08, 2011 - Oct 05, 2011
Tokyo Gallery +BTAP presents Zhu Cun-wei鈥檚 Solo Exhibition 鈥淭hinking of Alienation鈥� in Beijing.
Zhu Cun-wei, born in 1972, Tongshan, Xuzhou, in Jiangsu Province, graduated in 1996 from the art department of Nanjing Normal University, is currently living and working in Nanjing.
Since his studio has relocated to Mufushan art district in 2007, Zhu Cun-wei have participated in solo and group exhibitions in Shanghai and Nanjing. This exhibition is the first solo exhibition in Beijing since his 2011 Radical Change (Nanjing) and his participating of Benz Smart Urban Art Journey touring thirteen cities in China. This exhibition consists of more than 20 pieces of his artworks.
Years of design experience in animation and its intensive yet diversified subjects in design formulates his unique creative style. Although Zhu鈥檚 work embodies the color sense and accuracy one associates with graphic design, yet his humorous artistic language purposefully instills a reminiscent loss and hopelessness.
Zhu Cunwei鈥檚 figurative representation approach and his unique composition convey the artist鈥檚 alienated observation and reflections incurred from ideals and real life. His images tend to focus on subjective representation by infusing traditional Chinese and contemporary painting techniques. Through the details on these images, the viewer may decipher the artist鈥檚 intension of portraying the alienated subjects and their metaphorical meanings. Such seemingly disturbing details allow the audience to realize the contradictions and alienated phenomenon in our society and everyday life.
We look very much forward to seeing you at this exhibition.
Alienation is my observation from the development of our cultural and scientific society through my creative approaches. Within our present living environment, this alienation has ubiquitously affected every field. Moreover, the phenomena transpired from this alienation continue to affect our living environment. Alienation incurred by oppression is the byproduct of civilization, development, progress and boundless desires that humanity has been proud of. I hope to encourage the contemporary to pick up a magnifying glass to observe the world around us through my artworks, with the question, 鈥淲hat does this alienation suggest for our future?鈥�
