Ikon画廊位于英国伯明翰地区,这里经常展出印象派和现代主义的艺术作品。画廊此次展出的是韩国艺术家Lee Bul的首个英国个展,作品涵盖了作者早期的绘画、照片、雕塑及装置艺术,其中一个巨幅艺术作品是专为Ikon画廊创作的,呈现出强烈的视觉震撼效果,突显了Lee Bul重要的艺术地位。Lee Bul,1964年出生于韩国军事独裁统治背景下,二十世纪八十年代末毕业于韩国弘益(Hongik)大学雕塑专业。她的作品多以广泛视角专注表现政治意义,因而容易形成渗透文化与文明的理想主义。从一开始,Lee Bul就走上一条反传统的创作路径,以极端的方式,创作出跨越流派和学科的艺术作品。如其早期以街头表演为主的软雕塑作品,尽显诱人与怪诞。而后期九十年代创作的Cyborg女性雕塑则借鉴了艺术史、批判理论以及科幻小说等元素,又不失古典雕塑的意蕴。本次展览中,一个看似前卫但暗示毁灭,形状如同枝型吊灯的雕塑,与水晶珠子、链条以及闪烁的镜子恰当组合,仿佛在空中搭建的城堡。这种雕塑“城堡”反映的是20世纪初乌托邦式的建筑意象。所有作品中轮廓最明显的要属《Mon grand recit:Weep into stones》,其多山的地貌容易让人联想起美国建筑师休·费里斯在其《The Metropolis
Ikon Gallery is located in Birmingham, England, where the impressionist and modernist works of art are often exhibited. The gallery features the first British solo exhibition by Korean artist Lee Bul, covering the author’s early paintings, photographs, sculptures and installation art. One of the giant works of art was created specifically for Ikon Gallery, showing a strong Visual effects, highlighting Lee Bul important artistic status. Lee Bul, born in 1964 under the dictatorship of South Korean military, graduated from the Hongik University of Sculpture in the late 1980s. Her works focus more on the political significance from a wide range of perspectives, which makes it easy to form the idealism that infiltrates culture and civilization. From the beginning, Lee Bul has embarked on an anti-traditional creative path that has created, in an extreme way, works of art across genres and disciplines. Such as its early soft-focus on street performances of sculptures, full of attractive and grotesque. The Cyborg female sculptures created in the late 1990s borrowed elements of art history, critical theory and science fiction without losing the meaning of classical sculpture. In this exhibition, a seemingly avant-garde but allusive ruin, sculpture in the shape of a chandelier, is a perfect combination of crystal beads, chains, and twinkling mirrors, as if cast in the sky. This sculpture, “Castle”, reflects the utopian architectural image of the early 20th century. The most prominent of all the works belong to the “Mon grand recit: Weep into stones”, the mountainous landscape is reminiscent of the American architect Hugh Ferris in his "The Metropolis
