兰空间很荣幸的向您宣布，我们将于8月19日带来艺术家郭强的个展“银海湾，蓝海湾”，本次展览是艺术家对近几年作品的梳理和展示。展览将持续至2017年10月04日。

郭强的作品给人一种惊艳，这种惊艳的感觉与画面丰富的色彩无关，与流光溢彩的奢靡倾颓隔绝，这种惊艳来自艺术家郭强内心虔诚的抱朴守拙，让你似乎透过他的作品摸到了曾经某段风景、人物的绒毛，顺手拂去，时光回转，留在心底美好的记忆依然未变。

郭强的创作灵感主要来源于平凡的日常生活中，笔触透着洒脱，画面张力十足，所表现的题材也是我们似曾相识的，那是通过记忆就能去感受的画面，这似乎离我们可见可触的现实很远，但却依然很朴实动人。于是在他的作品里时空被打散了，被措置了。我们曾经看过的“风景”在郭强的画里变成了我们心灵温暖的“海湾”。

LAN Space is proud to announce it will be hosting Guo Qiang’s solo exhibition Silver Bay,Blue Bay on 19 August, 2017. Aimed at unraveling and showcasing works made by the artist over the past few years, the exhibition will be on show until 4 October, 2017.

Guo Qiang leaves the spectator transfixed. This sense of amazement has nothing to do with the rich colors and hues in his paintings. Cut off from the extravagant and decadent patterns of light and color, said amazement stems from Guo Qiang’s inwardly devout adherence to simplicity and humility. His works allow us to touch the fluff of an erstwhile landscape or personage, brushing it off without a hitch, only to turn back time and see that its wonderful memory remains unchanged deep down inside.

The main inspiration for Guo Qiang’s creations comes from ordinary, daily life. His casually nonchalant brushstrokes make the works burst with sheer tension. The themes conveyed on the canvas seem strangely familiar. They can be accessed and experienced through memory. Although seemingly very remote from our visible and tangible reality, Guo Qiang’s works stay down-to-earth yet poignant. As a result, space-time is broken up and rearranged, making these erstwhile familiar landscapes turn into warm ‘bays’ of the heart.
