刘宇轩

Born in Beijing in 1993, Yuxuan Liu acquired her BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Canada, then completed her MA studies at Central Academy of Fine Arts in China. The artist's belief in the potential to unveil the essence of humanity from lifeless objects compels her to meld various mediums into the sculptural paintings, crafting a virtual ambiance through semi-realistic object depictions and subtle background treatments. These visual creations serve as her means to provoke viewers into redefining the concept of existence, inviting them to engage in silent dialogues with the still life pieces and prompting contemplation of their own humanity.

刘宇轩于1993年出生于中国北京,在加拿大艾米丽卡尔艺术与设计大学获得艺术学士,其后于中央美术学院完成文学硕士学位。刘宇轩对于从无生命的物体中揭示出人性潜能的兴趣,促使她将不同的媒介融合到雕塑般的绘画中,通过半写实的物体描绘和微妙的背景处理打造出虚拟的氛围。这些视觉创作是她引导观众重新定义存在概念的方式,邀请他们与静物作品进行无声对话,引发对自身人性的思考。

Words from the curator
策展人的话

Yuxuan Liu artworks initiate a serene quest to discover anthropomorphic beauty and significance within artifacts. She consistently pushes the boundaries of conventional representation and discourse on human essence through her paintings and occasionally sculptures too. Both still life and portraiture captivate Liu's interest, driving her to delve into the interplay between these two genres.

刘宇轩的作品开启了一种宁静的探索——尤其是发现文物中的拟人之美和意义。艺术家不断地通过她的绘画和雕塑作品来突破关于人类本质的传统表现和话语的界限。 同时,在刘宇轩的作品中可见其对静物画和肖像画的兴趣,以及她深入研究这两种类型之间的相互作用的过程。
