Vanguard画廊将于9月12日推出陈兴业的个展“掘金”，此次为艺术家在画廊的第二次个展。本次展览呈现艺术家全新创作的油画，作品延续了以往他通过纸上作品对力量本身的感官化与审美化线索，而媒介上的突破性转变使其创作展现出更为沉静的视觉基调。
Vanguard Gallery is pleased to present Chen Xingye's solo exhibition, “Digging…”, opening on September 12, 2024. This marks the artist's second solo presentation at the gallery. The exhibition showcases Chen's newly created oil paintings, which continue his exploration of the sensory and aesthetic dimensions of power, previously developed through works on paper. This significant shift to a new medium introduces a more subtle and serene visual tone to his works.

陈兴业的创作常使用大众所熟悉的流行文化符号，他追溯个人记忆中的文化和感官体验，通过幻想中的平行世界与现实之间的交映创造出更多的可能性。模糊化处理过的具象形象在他的作品中反复出现，作为想象的客体映照着个体和现实世界之间的不断调节的平衡。
Chen Xingye's practice often incorporates symbols from popular culture. Drawing on his personal memories, Chen traces cultural and sensory experiences to generate new possibilities at the intersection of the imagined and the real. The result is a series of ambiguous figures, suspended outside of space and time, navigating the elusive boundary between the inner world and tangible materiality.

在“掘金”所展出的一系列新作中，艺术家将世界想象为一套系统，而现实则像是系统内运行的游戏。抽取自流行文化符号的兔子（玩家）由平行世界穿越进入现实游戏中。它狂妄，叛逆，傲慢自大又冷静老练，无论遇到什么困难（游戏中的关卡）都能找到解决方法，好像它才是游戏的操纵者。无论是维护游戏规则、追随兔子的指引，还是按下暂停键休息，在游戏的无数玩法中，艺术家转而提议摆脱地面框架的约束，以“掘地取金”的行为游刃有余地突破系统（世界）的奖赏机制。
In the new works presented in “Digging…”, the artist imagines the world as a system, with reality functioning like a game. The bunnies represent the players who navigate this game of reality. These characters are fierce and rebellious, yet also calm and sophisticated, capable of solving any challenges—or levels—they encounter, as if the game is under their control. Whether following the game’s rules, taking cues from the bunnies, or hitting pause for a break, the artist suggests a different approach among the countless ways to play: breaking free from the constraints of the given framework and navigating the system's reward mechanisms by “digging for gold”.
