EAST & WEST 02.10. – 20.10. 2019

EAST & WEST

Galleria Kookoksen East & West näyttely on ensimmäinen kansainvälisten näyttelyjen sarjassa, jonka tavoitteena on saada eri kulttuurien nykytaide kohtaamaan, samalla kasvattaen vuorokeskustelua, sekä yhteistoimintaa taiteen alueella.
On ilo esitellä kulttuurisesti erilaisia taiteellisia maailmoja, sekä niiden lähestymistapoja ja erityispiirteitä, tulevien East & West -näyttelyiden kautta. Näyttelyssämme on nyt mukana kolme suomalaista nykytaiteilijaa, sekä kolme kiinalaista nykytaiteilijaa ja taideopettajaa.
Toivomme näyttelyjemme avaavan, sekä kiinalaisen, että eurooppalaisen
kulttuurin ja nykytaiteen tuntemusta, luoden lisääntyvää vuorovaikutusta ja yhteistyötä. Uskomme näyttelyjen myös antavan uusia näkökulmia sekä taiteilijoillemme että galleriavieraillemme.

EAST & WEST

East & West Exhibition is to bring contemporary art from both cultures to the forefront while increasing dialogue and artistic collaboration. In this Exhibition we are focusing on the differences and similiarities we both have in our cultures.
It is a pleasure to present culturally diverse artistic worlds in our gallery, as well as their approaches and characteristics in this East & West exhibition. Our exhibition includes three Finnish contemporary artists and three Chinese artists and art teachers.
We hope that with this exhibition, where there is both Chinese and European knowledge of culture and contemporary art, creates increasing interaction and collaboration. We also believe that this exhibition will give our artists and our gallery guests new perspectives.

EAST & WEST 东成西就

——首届欧中艺术交流探索展

在互联网交互的前提下,当今世界的文化艺术交流是如此的简便与快捷,不少中欧的文化交流活动也纷纷上演,特别是中国政府发出“一带一路”的倡议之下,越来越多的中国艺术家积极参与到国际性的展览活动当中,这是十分值得赞赏和可喜的!
中国绘画传统有着上下五千年的历史,尤以水墨艺术为代表着文人士大夫的“诗、书、画、印”相结合的较高的文艺修养和水准,是中国人的哲学观的体现,也是久经不衰的流传至今的文脉!欧洲绘画艺术的传统可以上溯至古希腊古罗马时期的经典艺术,注重理性与科学分析,乃至后来侧重“趣味探索”与“形式变革”的现代主义和观念性的当代艺术,源远流传着欧洲人侧重“数理”逻辑的美学观。虽然东西方艺术有着各自不同的地域语境、文化身份、历史传统,东西方的文化相遇,不仅展现各自的艺术成就,更重要的是通过交流沟通,互相吸收艺术养分,促进双方地域性艺术的发展与繁荣。因此,我们期望通过一系列“东成西就”欧中艺术交流探索性展览来呈现中西方各自不同的艺术世界与探索面貌,更期待通过该次艺术展览让更多的欧洲朋友了解中国的文化传统与中国艺术创作的当代面貌,从而有益于加深双方的艺术交往与友谊。

Xiong Ai Hong 熊红

My pantings mimic the textures and forms you can find in nature.The various forms I use is chosen for their symbolism of nature and respect for life. The intention is to follow the air, the spray, flow, and wish of the ink, so that the painting can present a great freehand, and then presents a quiet and faint Zen.
The meaning to not use a brush in my works is to look for other possibilities between figuration and abstraction. 2017 works: “Qing” and “Ming” reflect on the change of the relationship between human and nature. To pursue a kind of inner feeling, “bright and clear”, close to the realm of the id.
In the paitings, the landscape tends to be flattened, weakening to a faint gray surface and a simple shape. The flow and sense of space of the traditional mountain ink are dispelled, and the spirit of the landscape is more prominent. The landscape texture becomes the visual focus. I use the visual effects of contradictions and contrasts to enhance the ultimate sense of the image, the ultimate clean and peaceful inner experience. Clean edge processing is intended to remind the viewer of the temperament of inkjet paper.
I strive for it to be simple and not monotonous, no level and several levels. It is ink, but not traditional ink. It is tangible and invisible. In the plausible ink and excitement I make the viewer appreciate the current spirit of ink, and deliberately keep the ancient temperament.

Zeng Qian Ting 曾倩婷

I love poetry. Sculpture is my way to write poetry.

Starting from intuition, the work moves towards what I think and feel. I want to show a variety of emotions and human experience.
“Light Rain” comes from a Tang poem: “Flowers fall, people stand, light rain, two swallows fly.” The people are lonely waiting for the mood, they don’t know where to start and end.
“Dream from Awakening” is everyone’s own experience, waking up in a dream, but the dream is too true, trying to recall that mottled dream.
“Time” shows the warmth and tranquility of the world. The woman watches with the man the prosperity of the world as time goes by. My work is just to get an impression or emotion from their appearance – quiet but not melancholy, lonely and not sentimental. I believe that love is in every bit of life, not in every big event. The world excites us a lot, but I choose to be quiet.

I learned one modern take from Bronchus’s concise works, so I took out the excessive details and made it into simple forms. Like writing, it’s not as shocking and brilliant to describe profound things in a lengthy way as it is in the concise meanings of Tang and Song poetry.
The relationship between the characters and space created by Giacometti’s works produces loneliness, fragility, distance and strong psychological experience. Therefore, I am inspired to explore the works to express reality, distance and dreams.

Influenced by Professor Liang Mingcheng, you can trace my style back to the academical taste – striving for elegance, if not refinement, but also implicit. Like Chinese poetry and painting, words have endless meaning. Like my favorite Hou Hsiao-hsien movie, my work presents a simple image, but throughful people can see several deep meanings.

My art creation is a continuous process of hollowing out, as well as I always want to push myself further. It is my hope and pursuit that works can prove their artistic personality and courage. To end with a light-hearted poem as a metaphor I choose Li Shaojun’s poem “Expressing”
under the tree, we talk about our own ideals
you say you would write a biography of mountains and a history of waters
and I, only want to take true-to-life pictures of clouds
draw a landscape of the window
(with one or two occasional sounds of chirping birds)
as well as a sketch of my little daughter at home
definitely, she must stand under the Chinese flowering quince

Liang Yong Biao 梁永标 

What the horse without a soul will be? Only the depleted skin is blown by the wind, and it is exhausted and collapsed on the ball of time, letting it keep running… The sculptor Liang Yongbiao’s works in East & West exhibition at Galleria Kookos have triggered our thinking about life. Will Chinese and Westerners have different views on the meaning of life?

Mika Natri

As a sculptor my works are often based on my feelings and thoughts about our society. Western world is based on consumerism and neverending economic growth. Our way of living treats nature as neverending source for materials, which, of course, it isn’t. Global
warming, use of oil, ecocatastrophes etc. are some of the issues I have commented with my works. Alongside these commentary pieces I also work with lighter themes, e.g. abstract sculptures and works based on plant-world or our living environment.
As a painter I’m interested in expressing myself via abstraction; the dialogue between composition, surfaces and colors. How rich expression can be achieved with only a few means.

Paula Salmela

The recurring themes in my artistic work are man and nature. My personal, strong bond with nature and empathy for nature wounded by man materialize in my works as spatial art, sculptures and photographs.
Those of my works that reflect man himself are often spatial, based on light, materials or a situation created in collaboration with the viewer. The installations have been counterbalanced by less material works, where I am personally present to give birth to the work together with the viewer through things like touch or presence.
