“Che Jianquan: Moment by Moment” Exhibition, sponsored by Guangdong Museum of Art, curated by Wang Shaoqiang and hosted academically by Hu Bin, was opened on May 28th, 2022. It probes into the subject “time” and demonstrates over 100 pieces of oil paintings, woodcuts, and installation works created by the artist.
In terms of artistic expression, “time” is an everlasting subject. In the “Che Jianquan: Moment by Moment” Exhibition, the artist tries to express the momentary eternity by blurring the boundary between painting and imagery. Every visitor to “Moment by Moment” exhibition sees exactly such kind of expression about time presented by Che Jianquan.
Che Jianquan integrates the expressive features of photography and imagery in painting, so that there are traditional painting aesthetic features as well as the static sense of time in his contemporary paintings, showing fully the diversity of artistic language in both dynamic and static states across medias. In this Exhibition, the artist puts all the painting and imagery works one beside another, enabling them to supplement and interpret each other, with each painting records a view looking like a static shot. The subtle differences among works are connected through the moving sights of visitors, and form a complete “imagery”. Visiting such an exhibition, the audiences are the main parts of the movement as well as the perception, while the rapid or slow change of time is totally determined by the subjective way of visiting.
According to Wang Shaoqiang, Curator of Guangdong Museum of Art, the Exhibition probes into “time”, which could be regarded as an everlasting topic: The answer we tried to provide is always closely linked to our understanding of the world and ourselves. Guangdong Museum of Art has always been dedicated to the study and discussion of the art forms and cross-media features of comprehensive media materials, such as photography and imagery, and tried to seek and find the present answers to the above-mentioned question from diversified artistic expressions. We believe this Exhibition would be able to better inspire the audiences to learn about themselves and the objective world with the imagery art form.
The Exhibition extends to June 12th, 2022.
