Cultural Tourism China Li Yan Su Yang 10:53 Original

The Plant Revelation of "Muzhu" is the first exhibition held by artist Mr. Liu Zhenchen in Xiamen. It was held on July 16, 2022 at the MOCEAN MOT SPACE in Xiamen. This exhibition is hosted by MOCEAN and Guo Yating as the "Spring Project of Sino -French Culture". Su Yang and Guo Yating will exhibit artists Liu Zhenchen's new work "Panacea" series and video device "Mall of Flower". The truth about the truth of perception and speculation uses cracks in the way of sewing needles, which is the inertia of Liu Zhenchen. Just like "Mall Wagger", people are carefully chewing the sadness and pain behind the dreams that are continuously collage and restructuring and recycling. Like "PANACEA", it melts natural and artificially and promotes multiple senses. It is full of fun and meaningful. While satisfying the artist's traceability, it also brushes the door of the viewer's consciousness ...

MOCEAN New Exhibition | Mu Show: Plant Enlightenment Liu Zhenchen (Ling Dan Wonder Medicine) Poster

From Shanghai, "Panacea" (Ling Dan Wonder Medicine) artist Liu Zhenchen's series of works arrived in Xiamen as expensive as scheduled. The moment when the packaging wooden box and noodle layer were unveiled, the large "plant specimen" full of tensioned paper and tension jumped in front of me.

The standard, with wooden things is a paradigm, disassembled it, "wood" and "show". From Liu Zhenchen's "clear context" works, the plants can be carried out to his enlightenment and revelation, and the inner hair in the body after his edible plants, and eventually created in combination with it.

Shanghai, who has just experienced the epidemic test, is Liu Zhenchen's native hometown. In his childhood, he had a green backyard in Shanghai's house, which became the seeds he buried in his heart and nature.

In his early years, Liu Zhenchen studied in France and spanned China and the West. He learned about nutrition in the world's art capital. The experience of cross -media and cross -culture widened the creative boundary. In the fall of 2019, he returned to Shanghai. At that time, he was reading the "Yellow Emperor's Canon". He occasionally saw a magpie flying over the top of his head, becoming the origin of the creation of "Panacea" (Ling Dan Wonder Medicine). It continued to create for three years, and the people, things, and things around the world had changed, and the creative techniques had also changed. He began to work hard like Shennong tasting Baicao's artistic practice.

"My daily basic work during the creation is medicine collection and production. These are physical work. Natural and plants have given me energy. Some small problems have gone, and their hearts have been balanced and quiet." Plants and minerals are printed in the process of cotton -free paper. It is similar to Chinese medicine and pounding the medicinal material to analyze the medicinal ingredients. During the production process, the printers of the plant's juice, smell, and rhizomes and leaves are left. After that, the "Ling Dan Wonder Medicine" introduced the screen printing technology, just like another ancient technique, the positive and negative yin and yang appeared, and it was not limited to the nature of the law. It also added oil paint painting to extend a rich sense of interaction. The presentation of the work is like jumping out of the plane of the canvas, and it is also like retreating to the depths of the canvas. The clean and neat lines. During the creative process, the layout structure is also randomly captured. The most primitive way is immersed and free.

The regularity, controllability and mathematical structure of the natural order are reflected in the flower world in Liu Zhenchen's "Garma Tsom". Based on computer image technology, a re -experience of "beauty" is completed with a "entropy -increase structure". Form an orderly visual experience with a "divided derivative" cycle.

The earliest Haisheng plants on the earth were algae about 3.2 billion years ago. This time we organized Liu Zhenchen's work exhibition in the space by the sea, using plant revelation as an open -style self -asking themselves. The survival of the fruit abdomen is the fundamental, sweet and bitter taste buds, or the puzzle of the spiritual and sickness, and the human science and technology. Since the development of human science and technology, the vitality of the per capita is difficult to live over 100.

Under the symptoms of global epidemic, we return to the seaside's most native sense of life. We are looking for re -healing "healing" and my "Spiritual Wonder Medicine", and seeking thousands of inspiration in the booming vision.

From "Bingbei" to "Ling Dan Wonder Medicine"

In 2015, Liu Zhenchen was commissioned by Paris "Sleepy Night" and created a large -scale installation "Bingbei". The 270 large ice cubes that are divided into seven colors and symbolized the five continents of the world are arranged in front of the Paris City Hall and slowly melted in front of the audience. In his opinion, ice cubes are particularly sensitive to temperature. As the temperature increases, it will change from solid state to liquid and gaseous, and it is also the most direct response to climate change. Therefore, he chose the medium of ice to express the problem of climate change that affects the world.

After that, this work has also been displayed in Beijing and Shanghai. Whether the ice cubes in front of the Paris City Hall were pushed and rebuilt, they were finally shoveled off by a forklift, washed away by water guns, or melted little by little in the construction site in Beijing, and even on the Bund of Shanghai on the Bund of one day. After experiencing various weather changes and letting the audience directly expose to experience their own relationship with climate change, this work is like a preview of the environmental crisis today. Through such a vivid way, the global behavior of melting this slowly occurred and difficult to be perceived in the world is presented to the world, and then another important topic -what is the relationship between man and the real world? How can humans be re -found the future direction and position in this alienated, distorted, continuous consumption, and unsustainable society? 【Bingbei Picture】

From this point of view, the series "Panacea" may be an important turning point in Liu Zhenchen's creation.

Through this work, he not only returned to painting, but also returned to the spiritual mother of Chinese culture in creative thoughts and lifestyle. In this fall, by chance, he found a pharmaceutical plant nursery in the ancient town of Xinchang. He used these plants as the material of his own work to collect medicine and produce every day. "Through 'seal', realize the conversion between positive and negative, use some medicinal plants, stems, leaves, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, and some medicinal minerals. They leave flowers, juice, smell and smell and The marks of the form constitute the synergy between abstraction and figuration, dream, and reality. " In this creative process, he gradually realized the natural "sense" that people had, and felt the magical power of nature. As a result, in the work of "Ling Dan Wonder Medicine", we can see those plants entangled and grow vitality, interact with various substances, and form a magnificent cycle of endless life.

"Kaleidoscope" effect

The rapidly developing society can also create a variety of material wealth that is full of material, and form a beautiful "happy film" on the outside of real life, creating a dazzling kaleidoscopic effect, further covering the serious and cultural levels of the spiritual and cultural level. Realistic problems and psychological problems make people continue to bury their heads in a rational acceleration state.

In the series of "Monetari" series, Liu Zhenchen mixes the images related to social reality issues in the colorful decorative images, allowing people to chew the sorrow behind the dreams in a large number of continuous collage and reorganization and recycling of fragmented illusion. With pain. In his words, "I think this world is like a kaleidoscope, linear, circular. History attempts to tell us new things, like kaleidoscope, new forms will appear in each circle, but the fact is that what we see is what we see Always the same element. Through the video device of the "Mall -in -Terminal", the audience can see some news pictures, daily snapshots, fragments that occur around. Real, lies, beautiful, ugly ... gorgeous decorative images are fascinating, which is fascinating, which is fascinating. Dizziness, "hypnosis'.

"‘ Kaleidoscope ’make everything beautiful and harmonious.”
