三潴画廊于2011年9月3日至10月16日将推出赵娜个展“平行国度”。

2010年赵娜毕业于中央美术学院，并取得硕士学位。此次展览是她的首次个展，共展出了9幅最新的素描作品。素描作为独立的艺术表现形式，有其独特的艺术价值。线与线之间体现的是创作者对形体，结构，节奏及韵味的深刻理解。

对于铅笔这种绘画材质，赵娜有着特别的偏爱。细腻的笔触不禁使人惊叹，如此这般丰富且干净的画面或许只有在“一心不乱”的状态下才能做到。粗细轻重的线条排列疏密有致，赵娜仅用黑白灰色调的组合，就呈现出了她心中富有超现实感的世界。这个世界是与我们所熟知的现实世界平行而又相对独立的精神世界。怪诞新奇的形象，似乎熟悉但又陌生，赵娜仿佛可以任意穿梭于两个不同的国度，将我们无法看到的景象描绘于纸上。

对于这个世界的探索也是赵娜不断进行自我认知的过程，将思维转化为图像这种直观的方式来重新审视自我，进行调整而后再出发。这也正是她不断创作的动力源泉吧。

Mizuma & One Gallery is to present ZHAO Na’s solo show “Parallel Country” from September 3 through October 16, 2011.

In 2010 ZHAO Na took her Master’s degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. As her debut solo show, 9 of her most recent pencil drawings will be revealed this time. As a stand-alone venue of artistic expression, pencil drawing has its unique values, as lines are used to convey the artist’s profound sense of form, structure, rhythm, and aesthetic interest.

ZHAO Na has been particularly fond of pencils as materials to work with. The delicate lines are so striking that it is probably only with a “most pristine mind” that one can create such rich and yet clean images. With lines of various thickness and various inter-line distance, ZHAO Na manages to create a surreal world with various tones of black and white combined. This world is in parallel with the real one as known to us with all its familiarity, and yet is spiritually independent from the latter one. The eerie and curious images, as she shows us, are simultaneously familiar and strange. As such, ZHAO Na is able to freely transport herself between two different worlds and visualize on paper what is normally invisible to our naked eyes.

To ZHAO Na, the process of probing the world is also one of her gaining self-cognition. By putting thoughts into drawings, ZHAO Na makes her self-reflection observable, starting and restarting after each moment of self-renewal. This is supposedly the unending source of inspirations for her works.
