高歌清醒夢

藝途畫廊榮幸介紹來自中國的畫家﹣高歌，第一次的香港個人展覽《清醒夢》。生於1984，才華出眾的高歌是中國當代其中一位正為

未來中國藝術發展從新定義著的八十後新進畫家。

長注於北京的宋莊畫家村，高歌的作品在描繪迷人和夢幻的畫面背後，反映了畫家的內心世界和私人的情感。結合了纖巧描繪手法及

柔和色彩的超現實場景，成為高歌作品的特徵。從中，高歌綽約地擺放她的主題：有時候，主體相比起畫布的面積顯得異常細小，如

作品系列中的《傳說》；有時候，部份主體相對隱蔽，如作品系列中的《覓梧桐》；有時候，甚至沒有主體，如作品系列中的《來了

又走》。比例、排列、繪畫空間都被畫家巧妙地操縱在其作品中。

高歌的作品具有抑鬱、自我反省和複雜的內在特質。也許，在作品中，高歌一直在精心設計著如何去將她原有的現實取代成幻想中的

世界；好讓她在那虛擬境界里去緩和她的情緒及尋找真正的自我。

高歌於2005年從天津工程學院藝術系畢業。她的作品曾在中國、南韓和台北的大小展覽中展出，包括最近幾年在北京、鄭州、上海和

東京舉辦的個人畫展。

Art Projects Gallery is delighted to present Chinese artist, Gao Ge’s first solo show in Hong Kong, “Lucid Dreaming”. Gao Ge (b.1984) is an emerging talent from China’s Post-80s generation of artists who are set to redefine the future of artistic expression and develop-ment in China.

Based in the artist’s village of Song Zhuang in Beijing, Gao Ge’s works depict mesmerizing dreamlike imageries that on closer in-spection, reveals the artist’s inner psyche and personal emotions. Gao Ge’s paintings often feature surrealistic settings of intricate details and soothing colors, in which she poetically places her subjects, sometimes tiny in comparison to the extent of the canvas (“Legend”) and at times partially obscured (“Seeking Phoenix Tree”), or even absent (“Come and Gone”). The play of scale, juxtaposi-tions and pictorial space are skillfully used by the artist in her works.

Gao Ge’s works are inherently melancholic, introspective and sophisticated. Perhaps, in her paintings, the artist has choreographed her own fantasy worlds to replace actual events in her life; a virtual realm in which she can ease her emotions and to find her true self.

Gao Ge graduated from Tianjin Engineering Technical Institute, Department of Art in 2005. Her works have been exhibited in various shows in China, South Korea and Taipei, including solo shows in Beijing, Zhengzhou, Shanghai, and Tokyo in recent years.

覓梧桐Seeking Phoenix Tree90 x 200 cmAcrylic on Canvas2012

丹穴來鳳皇，彩羽輝朝陽。綠竹清溪邊，激揚鳴宮商。嗈嗈鳳皇曲，清風輕度竹。明時自歌舞，款步踏寒玉。啾啁雀聲喧，去覓梧桐宿。

A Phoenix emerges from the cave, its feathers shine under the brilliance of the sun.By the clear stream and green bamboo, it starts to sing its song.Under the melody of the phoenix’s tune, the bamboos gently sway in the breeze.I dance alone; slowly walking on the icy snow.Sparrows chirping aloud, seeking shelter in the Phoenix Tree.

只有顏色沒有詩歌Just Colours; No Poems90 x 200 cmAcrylic on Canvas2012

你說你有太多無法抉擇，我想，我便化作一棵樹好了，佇立在你窗口，無言，長自己的葉子，結自己的果實，看自己的風景。想你，就看你一眼。偶爾你落寞，會聽到我輕搖樹葉沙沙作響，不會太悶太孤單。

You say you have too many difficult decisions to make, therefore perhaps it is better for me to turn into a tree, stand by your window, say nothing, grow my own leaves, bear my own fruits, and see my own sceneries. I will take a glance at you if I miss you. If you feel lonely, you can hear the sound of my rustling leaves, so you don’t feel too bored and lonely.

小時候很想長大，想自由的奔跑，想掙脫一切去想去的地方。

長大了，到了想去的地方，做了想做的事情，午夜夢迴那平淡的過往，心悸般的疼痛讓你淚濕枕巾，光芒中那雙溫暖的大手緊緊的握著你。

感謝有這樣一個讓我可以想念可以牽掛可以心疼可以快樂可以幸福的去生活的人。想到電話裡那日漸滄桑的難捨的聲音和站台上落寞的不願離去的背影，淚水又止不住的流下來。

此刻，我離開了那沒有美術館的城市，我依然在漂泊。我願用一生報答父親的恩情，今生難了，願來生他可以做我的孩子。

I looked forward to grow up when I was young, to run about freely, I wanted to let go of everything and go wher-ever I wanted to go.

Now I’m a grown-up, been to where I wanted to go, and done what I wanted to do; when I dreamed of those plain old days at midnight, and feel the pain in my heart that brings tears to the pillow, i will always feel your big warm hands holding me tight.

I am thankful there is a person that I can think about, care about, feel pity for, so that I can live with happiness and blessings. When I recall the sad voice on the telephone, and the shadow of the person who is reluctant to leave the stage even after the curtain is closing, I could not hold back my tears once again.

At this moment, I have left the city that has no art museum but, I am still drifting. I am willing to spend my whole life to repay my father’s love; though already not possible in this life, I hope he can be reborn as my son in his next life.
