漆澜 Qi Lan China, b. 1973
Biography
Qi Lan (b. 1973) was born in Anyue, Sichuan Province. He graduated from Department of Chinese Traditional Painting in Academy of Fine Arts, Southwest Normal University in 1996 and then graduated from Department of Chinese Traditional Painting, Nanjing University of the Arts in 2001. He studied with Professor Wang Mengqi as a Ph.D. candidate in Fine Arts in 2007. Between 2001 and 2018, he used to work for Shanghai Fine Arts Publisher as the deputy editor of contemporary art magazine Art China. In his early years, Qi Lan read the Chinese classics and studied the poetry of the pre-Qin scholars, The Book of Songs, The Songs of Chu and the poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties throughout his youth. The long years of literal reading and painting have constantly intermingled, clashing with each other in the modern cultural context, forming a unique oppressive and rebellious painting language. Painting is for him a debate and reconstruction of knowledge, experience and thought. Each of his works is repeatedly debated and questioned. Using high-density language and variable rhetorical techniques, he searches for rhetorical opportunities in dialogues and debates with the classics of the past and present, drawing on them to deduce complex and varied rhetorical and writing styles, and to counter the homogenization of machine imaging with a variety of mediums and a miscellany of complexities. He emphasizes the physical experience of hand and material language, and has long studied traditional literati painting and Western modern painting, striving to conceive a sense of self-consistency in writing of literati cultivation, giving the traditional writing language a new contemporary visual form and presenting a novel cultural character.

Uninhibitied Scenery: Tu Hongtao and Qi Lan painting works exhibition
30 Jul - 20 Sep 20112011年7月30日下午,“任性的风景”当代绘画展在成都千高原艺术空间开幕。展览展示了两位中国著名当代艺术家漆澜和屠宏涛的绘画作品共20余幅。“风景”一词暗示着两位画家对绘画的视觉本质的回归;而“任性”则表明他们各自创作的独特性,以及对独立的文化人格的追求。漆澜原本是一名艺术批评家,对艺术理论进行了多年研究,对古今中外的绘画的发展与本质都有着深刻而独到的认识,如今“弃笔从画”,开始把理论认知和自己的创作体验结合在一起。屠宏涛近两年的绘画风格有了巨大的转变,在压力和挑战中,他用一种开放的生命态度,和一种严谨的研究精神,不断梳理绘画与自身的关系。对观众来说,一方面,他们二人的作品与艺术的发展和历史有着错综复杂的关系;但另一方面,欣赏他们的作品却并不需要艺术的专业知识,因为他们已经把所有的信息转换成了视觉,也就说,观众即便只用眼睛看,去经历一种难得的视觉体验,也已经足够了。Read more
