2011年6月4日戴超的第二次个展“好奇先生”将在三潴画廊开幕。

这次展览中展出的作品一如既往延续了戴超的风格，颜色随着细腻的情感延伸开去，绘出的是美好又新奇的世界。这源于戴超对自然风景的提炼，也有他对自己记忆的甄选，令人禁不住去探索其中的一番究竟。画面中反复出现的红色小兔子，或飞舞在天空中，或迷茫在丛林里，或遥望未知的远方，或探索在幻景中。然而美好并不能永存，终有消逝的时候，渐渐变成回忆，也因此戴超笔下的小兔子常常带着某种微微的忧伤。

戴超说当他看到这些小兔子，自己似乎也变成了他们中的一员，“能去任何地方，任何梦境变幻出来的风景中”，观者驻足在作品前，不也正是在看画中的自己么？生于1985年的戴超，保持着对生活的敏锐观察，通过画面所表达的正是80后一代人普遍存在的状态。由于成长环境带来的优越感，他们大多都向往完美的自我世界，而实际生活中却不断遭遇困境。如何重拾迷失的方向感，则是他们严峻的考验。戴超试图让观者在作品中反观自身，思索答案。

Mizuma & One Gallery is to present DAI Chao’s second solo exhibition, titled Mr. Curiosity, on June 4th 2011.

The works included in the show are the continuation of DAI’s style, which depicts a beautiful and intriguing world with nuances of emotion-loaded colors. DAI’s style grasps what he takes to be the essence of natural sceneries, as well as selection of his memories, so that viewers cannot help but want to probe into the artwork. Repeatedly showing up in the works, the images of little red rabbits are depicted as flying in the skies, roaming in woods, looking into unknown horizon, or seeking in illusions. But the beautiful cannot exist forever; one day it will disappear, fading into memories. As such, the little rabbits in DAI’s artwork are often melancholy in a way.

DAI Chao said, when he looked at these little rabbits, he seemed to become one of them, “able to go anywhere, any scenery that takes its shape in a dreamy world” – isn’t that true, too, for viewers who may see themselves in the paintings as they stand in front of works? Born in 1985, DAI Chao keeps examining life critically, and conveys an existential state common to the generation born in the 80s. Due to a sense of superiority about their living conditions, this generation tends to long for a perfect self-world, whereas in reality their life is full of quagmires. It is therefore a serious test for them to reclaim the lost sense of orientation. DAI Chao attempts to press the viewers for an answer by self-reflection through the works.
