  麦勒画廊北京部荣幸地我们将举办艺术家Michel Comte在中国的首次个展。作为其同时代最为卓越的图像设计师之一, Comte的艺术创作媒介涵盖绘画、影像装置、雕塑、设计及电影等诸多领域,作品凸显了其对光影的深刻理解及迷恋。Comte此次展出的最新作品是与北京和瓷都景德镇两地的工匠合作完成。这些近作也是Comte对颜料绘画、装置、当代摄影艺术实践的探索,也体现了其对包括气候变化以及因而导致的冰川消融等环境问题的持续关注。

  Galerie Urs Meile is pleased to announce the first solo show of Michel Comte in China. As one of the most distinguished pictorial designers of his generation, Comte regularly straddles the lines between the realms of painting, video installation, sculpture, design, and film with a deep understanding and fascination of the use of light. Comte’s latest body of work was produced in collaboration with local craftsmen in Beijing and Jingdezhen, the city renowned for its porcelain production. With these works, he continues his experimental practice in pigment painting, installation and contemporary photography as well as his ongoing examination of environmental concerns such as climate change and the resulting glacier meltdowns.

  个展“光之三”是Michel Comte继意大利罗马MAXXI美术馆个展及米兰三年展之后的第三个有关光的个展,本次展览展出的一系列新作将探讨环境恶化对冰川及冰川地貌的影响。

  Michel Comte’s solo show Light III is his third exhibition, after the 2017 museum shows at the MAXXI Museum in Rome and the Triennale in Milan, Italy. Light III will present a new body of works exploring the impact of the environmental decline on the glaciers and glacial landscapes of the world.

  艺术家在系列黑白绘画作品《盐与尘》中通过重复的手工建构和拆解,在宣纸上叠加了一层层的纯矿物质颜料。在这一过程中,艺术家得以呈现出冰川通透和脆弱的表面肌理。

  Salt and Dust is a series of monochrome paintings in which Michel Comte applies a repetitive manual process of construction and deconstruction where layer on layer of pure mineral pigments and paint are applied on rice paper. Through this process, the artist achieves a texture reminiscent of the translucent and fragile surface of glaciers.

  作品《侵蚀》延续了其炼金术般的材料实践,用可留存数千年的陶瓷复刻冰川不可阻挡的幻灭进程。500多件陶瓷砖体被安装于展厅墙面,构成30米长、两米高的陶瓷带。侵蚀的灵感来自Comte的纸上手绘作品,呈现了由白色到黑色以及过渡灰色阴影的颜色渐变。传统陶瓷制作所使用的矿物质颜料及色釉的混合形成了通透的表面,也凸显了艺术家历经多年摄影实践后对光影具有独到的知觉。

  In Erosion Michel Comte further develops his alchemistic approach onto porcelain – chronologizing the unstoppable evanescence of the glaziers on a material that has proved to be conserved over thousands of years. The installation, with over 500 porcelain tiles mounted on the wall, forms a thirty-meter long and two-meter high porcelain strip. Born from Comte’s sketches on paper, Erosion features gradations from white to black with different shades of grey. The mixture of mineral pigments and color glaze used in the traditional porcelain production generates a surprisingly penetrating surface shows the artist’s unique sense of light he gained from his longstanding engagement with photography.

  在《影子》系列拓印作品中,艺术家通过微妙的材料呈现了其对光的理解与感知。水与阳光自然风干而成的宣纸拓片保留了《侵蚀》作品中每一块瓷砖的肌理。这些拓印作品会被用针直接固定在展厅墙面,不加任何外框,如此一来,轻微的风便能使得其振颤,这样的轻盈与一并展出的大型绘画作品《盐与尘》的厚重形成反差。

  The work series Ombre shows Comte’s understanding of light and the sentient combination with a subtle material. The rubbings on rice paper, accomplished with water and the natural drying through sunlight, carry the imprints of individual Erosion porcelain tiles. A number of the Ombre paper works will be pinned on the wall, without frames, so that the more delicate paper will vibrate with a slight breeze and contrast with the heavy and large Salt and Dustpaintings.
