EYECANDIES眼糖 x 逵园艺术馆荣幸推出展览《出神》。
出神，作为一种特定的意识变异，在心理学中被定义为个体暂时丧失自我感受，难以控制思想和行动的状态。这种状态在不同时代和文化中展现了人类对超越自我和精神联系的持久追求。
在古代文化中，宁静而神秘的出神状态藉由催眠、冥想、吟唱和舞蹈等实践行为而出现。借助鼓声和木鱼这种充满仪式性的声音，引导个体进入出神状态，从而到达精神领域并针对现实位面产生更加深度地洞察。历史上，战斗前的集体出神仪式便是这一现象的体现，通过集体舞蹈与其声呐喊，战士们得以进入对疼痛减弱和对号令盲从的去个人化（deindividuation）状态。
在道教中，出神是指内在修炼的一种状态，阳神脱离肉体以超越物质与生死的界限。修炼达到这一境界，阳神能够穿过“天门”，实现“出体”体验。
萨满教通过出神和附体与神灵交流。萨满的灵魂离体与超自然灵体互动，或寻求神灵降临并附于萨满身上，传达信息并引导各种仪式活动。
在当代艺术领域，艺术家们通过各自独特的媒介和方法，探索和诠释出神状态的美学与意义。

陈俐通过矿物颜料、现代漆艺和陶艺，探讨矛盾的流动美学。她聚焦于当代女性叙事、东方神秘美学和现代社会生活中的“非理性”维度，揭示了现代性与神秘主义、精英文化与迷信之间的冲突与共存。这种探索引发了一种类似雌雄同体的微妙状态，以及由理性与直觉之间的较量所致的迷宫般的混沌美学。

油性木板, 30x40cm, 2018
胡周华通过木板雕刻创造独特的叙事空间，她的重复印刷行为是对未知的探索。其创作语法以冲突和超现实主义为标志，色彩情感表达强烈，超越物质现实，常通过抽象形式表现超验状态的精神本质。胡周华放弃了创作对象的社会意义属性，聚焦于概念框架下深刻而微妙的内在冲突。
本次展览中，四位女性艺术家借用民俗、神话、个人内省和现代科技，通过艺术创作和再现，重现这些关于未知的探讨。她们通过艺术语言尝试重绘基于现实和非现实遐想的回应，引导观众进入一个神秘的维度，感受作品中现实与存在的神秘力量。
我们可能并不真正相信魔法，但我们也可能并不真正相信任何事情；与其纠结是否念出这个“出神咒语”，在弥漫危机与迷雾的现实环境中寻得一些逻辑无法得出的结论；不如扪心自问：你喜欢的是眼前被制造出来的幻象？还是我们的真实生活？

Trance, a concept rooted in psychology, denotes a distinct altered state of consciousness where individuals transiently lose self-awareness, grappling with diminished control over their thoughts and actions. Reflecting humanity's enduring quest for transcendence and spiritual connection, trance states persist through epochs and cultures.
Across diverse ancient cultures, serene and mystical trance states emerge through practices like hypnosis, meditation, chanting, and dance. Utilizing tools such as drumming and ritualistic sounds, like the wooden fish, guides individuals into trance, facilitating spiritual exploration and novel insights.
Historically, communal trance rituals preceding battles illustrate this phenomenon, wherein collective dancing and chanting induced a state of diminished pain sensitivity and unwavering obedience to leaders.
Within Daoism, trance signifies internal cultivation, where the yang spirit disengages from the body to surpass physical limitations and mortality. Cultivating this state enables the yang spirit to traverse the "heavenly gate," achieving an out-of-body experience.
Shamanism employs trance and spirit possession as conduits for shamans to commune with deities. Trance involves the shaman's soul departing the body to engage with supernatural spirits, whereas possession entails deities descending to inhabit the shaman's body, conveying messages and conducting ritualistic practices.
In the contemporary artistic realm, artists like Chen Li explore fluid aesthetics and contradictions through mineral pigments, modern lacquer art, and ceramics. Focusing on contemporary female narratives, Eastern mystical aesthetics, and the irrational dimensions of modern social life amidst ongoing modernization, Chen delves into conflicts between modernity and mysticism, elite culture and superstition. Her work reflects a nuanced state akin to androgyny and chaotic aesthetics born from the interplay of reason and intuition.

Yu Ruojie adopts interdisciplinary approaches, employing mixed media such as imagery, installations, paintings, new media, and text.

骑鲸人
布面综合材料, 120x160cm, 2023
Xue Fei's artistic endeavors center on dreams, mythical elements, mysterious creatures, and human existence, crafting fantastical realms through surreal techniques. Utilizing organic materials like stones, discarded tiles, and sand as unique painting tools, Xue infuses everyday scenes with fairy tales, strange narratives, and personal growth memories, conveying a contemporary vision of an enigmatic world rooted in subconscious and visual exploration.
87.6
油性木板, 30x40cm, 2018
Hu Zhouhua forges distinctive narrative spaces through wooden board carvings, employing repetitive printing to explore the unknown. Characterized by a creative syntax of conflict and surrealism, her emotive use of color transcends material reality, abstractly representing the spiritual essence of transcendent states. Discarding social attributes such as race, gender, and political affiliations, Hu focuses on profound internal conflicts within conceptual frameworks.
In this exhibition, female artists draw inspiration from folklore,religious beliefs, personal introspection, and technology to reimagine the unknown through artistic creation and representation. Through their visual languages, they seek to reinterpret reality and speculative realms, guiding viewers into mysterious dimensions that underscore the mystique and potency of existing realities within their works.
While skepticism may shadow beliefs in magic or any definitive truths, amidst the fog of contemporary crises, questioning whether the illusions before our eyes or our genuine lives hold greater appeal invites introspection into our perceptions of reality and art's role in shaping them.

Xue Fei (b. 1993, Chongqing, China) graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts with a BA in 2015. Currently, she lives and works in Kunshan. Xue Fei’s work revolves around dreams, mythological elements, mysterious monsters and human life, creating a fantastical and grotesque world with a surrealist approach. Dramatically transforming rocks, discarded tiles, sand and other organic or artificial materials into painting tools and offering them a unique texture, Xue’s comprehensive narratives alter between fairy tales, ghost stories and memories. She creates various forms of life and scenes in her paintings with a touch of mundanity, which imparts a contemporary Strange-Tale worldview rooted in subconscious and visual. Xue Fei was an artist in residence of Swatch Art Peace Hotel in 2021.Xue Fei was invited to participate SWATCH FACES 2022 at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia "The Milk of Dreams".
胡周华，毕业于日本多摩美术大学版画系。本科期间即形成了具有强烈冲突感、非现实感的个人创作语法，其色彩的情感表达强烈且不囿于复刻物质现实，多利用抽象形式表现人超验状态的精神性。胡周华摒弃了创作对象的一切具备社会意义的属性：人种、性别、政治倾向、阶级，对立与身份政治神话，转而着眼于其概念下丰富而微妙的内在冲突。艺术家当下的风格延续了学生时代的研究，近期作品多以喷漆为主要创作媒介，采用强烈的色彩和几何元素，用“覆盖”、“遮掩”等手段冲破照片或普通工业制成品的物理外形，对其能指意义进行重新编码，实现载体媒介其精神与物质存在的脱钩，表达出艺术家对自我意识和现实的边界问题的遐思。
Zhouhua Hu graduated from the Printmaking Department of Tama Art University in Japan. During her undergraduate studies, she developed a personal creative syntax characterised by a strong sense of conflict and unreality, which expresses strong emotions in colour and is not confined to reproducing the material reality. Instead, she employs abstract forms to express the spirituality of the transcendental state of human beings. Hu eschews all socially significant attributes of his subjects, including race, gender, political orientation, class, antagonisms, and the myth of identity politics. Instead, she focuses on the rich and subtle inner conflicts that underlie his concepts. The artist's current style can be seen as a continuation of the research she undertook as a student. The majority of his recent works are created using spray paint, with strong colours and geometrical elements employed to break through the physical form of photographs or common industrial products. This is achieved through the process of "covering" and "masking". By re-coding the energetic meanings of the carrier medium and decoupling the spiritual and material aspects of the artwork, the artist expresses his reverie on the boundary between self-consciousness and reality.
陈俐，1996年出生于浙江宁波，2018年本科毕业于格拉斯哥艺术学院，并于2020年获得中央圣马丁艺术学院纯艺专业的硕士学位。现工作、生活于上海。陈俐近期的创作主要通过矿物颜料绘画，现代漆艺和陶艺作为媒介来展开并探索流动的矛盾美学。她关注于当代语境下的女性叙事，东方神秘美学和现代化进程中社会日常的“非理性”维度。她试图了解当下现代性与神秘主义或是精英文化与迷信之间的冲突和共存，以及这种理性与直觉之间的拉锯所导致的一种雌雄同体般的微妙状态和迷宫般的混沌美学。近期展览：“看见凤仙花是一种还俗行为”，JW Projects，新加坡，2024（个展）；“春困”，拾萬空间，北京，2024；“世人何以唤醒我？”, 798CUBE,北京，2023；“故事与动机”，HdM Gallery, 北京，2023；八戒”, “入口空间，郑州，2023；“光的逃逸”，ObjectMomento，上海，2023；“城市乐土·艺术青年100”，嘉德艺术中心，北京，2021；“正在重新规划路线”, 树美术馆，北京，2021；“Moving Past, Moving Closer”, 萨奇画廊，伦敦，2020；Becomings, A.P.T 画廊，伦敦，2020；Humming Out of Time, Lux 画廊，伦敦，2019；We Are Here We Are, Apiary工作室，伦敦，2019。
Chen Li, born in Ningbo, China in 1996, graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2018, and she earned her Master’s in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martin UAL. Now she lives and works in Shanghai. Chen Li’s recent artworks are exploring the aesthetic of contradictions through Asian lacquer craft, ceramic artand mineral pigment painting as mediums. She interested in female narrative of modern context, Eastern mysterious aesthetic and the ‘irrational’ dimensions of social life under the modernization process. She wants to explore the clash or coexistence between mysticism and modernity, superstition and elite culture, intuition and reason in the current society to understand how it leads to a kind of aesthetic of contradictions as a continuous androgynous status.
