Based on More Than The Immune Problem, the second section Tearing & Regenerating invites 12 artists from home and abroad. The online exhibition presents the life in the pandemic as the starting point, which continues to observe and explore the topic of how artistic expressions and thoughts act on the impacted society and individuals, thus seeking comfort, love, and regeneration. In addition, with a further attention on the virtual field and advanced science and technology, it broadens the horizon on the topic such as AI and existence, digital skills and expression of emotions, and so on.

In this section, we would like to introduce artists CHEN Wenji and LIANG Quan, as well as their artistic reflections to the year 2020.

Floating Ice 2020 Oil on canvas, 200cm×200cm, 2020

Through the fearful and long spring, I hoped that what the experts predicted would eventually become the gospel. But the situation is ruthless, the hope is always so far away. and the summer did not wipe out the virus. Summer has gone, autumn has come, and it will leave eventually. The next winter days are approaching, we will helplessly accept the new round of predictions from experts and focus more on facing the possible second wave of a pandemic. Fortunately, we now seem to have enough psychological preparation and countermeasures. We no longer have the excessive panic and helplessness of nine months ago. We also seem to have a new understanding of the outlook on life. Therefore, we have enough courage to face reality. The sad thing is that our lives are only scattered fragments, as if the memory is still there, there are not many real scales.

Oil on canvas, 100cm×135cm, 2020

Artists are so self-righteous and always have an overly optimistic attitude towards themselves. We feel fortunate that the artistic way we process connects with the current state of life naturally, so that we can get out of the surreal living conditions brought on by the pandemic. Although it is no longer vigorous, there are more reasons for self-awareness and immersion.

Similarly, I am constantly busy every day with such self-righteous consciousness, just to prevent time from leaving a blank space for me. Life has become monotonous, and the time left over from this has not achieved corresponding results. Under the seemingly undisturbed life, my heart has been occupied with more chaos and anxiety, the operation of things and individuals is more demanding than ever, and I am more concerned about details. Perhaps I have been unintentionally involved in an internalized closed consciousness. It seems that I am always in a state of inaction, slowly dissolving the individual through art, without firmness, no conceit, only with patience and humility. It seems that I am repeating my own past, no longer relying on the impulse of transcendence, and no need for passion and will, only hope that I will exist within a repeated and overlapping consciousness, that the focus can become the driving force for awakening self-potential.

Under the Wisteria Flower

Color Ink and Collage on Xuan Paper 163×245cm 2020

The work “Under the Wisteria Flower” echoes the wisteria planted by Wen Zhengming at the Suzhou Museum, “Youzhi” (Elegance of Classic Beauty) symbolizes green bamboo, and “Moss” refers to the implied meaning as mentioned in From Treatise On Superfluous Things that “the steps with moss are the best” (CN. “阶有苔斑者为佳”). These three items are Mr. Liang Quan's feelings about From Treatise On Superfluous Things.

Moss (“The steps with moss spots are the best.”)
