魔金石空间将于2012年6月9日至2012年8月5日推出艺术家王忠杰的个人展览：“潜行者和他的影子”。

王忠杰不愿意被局限在时间里。他一直留守在自己的出生地：河南郑州，沉浸在他最关心的问题之中。而画画则成为他唯一的思考工具。他说：“我是不存在的，唯一「真实」的是小树(王的儿子，7岁)。一群人在走，很多人是实的，但有一个人是虚的，我就是这个虚的人。”在他的近期作品里：所有具象事物都被消解在中心或层叠或渐变的色彩之中，而边缘一环扣一环的封闭方框则透露了他目前的焦灼与苦闷。

本次展览由吴亦飞策展，从王忠杰不同阶段的作品中掘取了一部分，试图沿着艺术家的思考轨迹，打开进入其作品的通道。

Magician Space presents the first solo exhibition of Wang Zhongjie – In His Own Shadow, opens June 9th and will run through August 5th 2012.

Wang does not want to be confined within time. He has remained in his hometown – Zhengzhou in Henan Province his whole life, contemplating the questions in life that he is most concerned about. Painting thus became his only thinking aid. “I do not exist, Xiaoshu (his seven year-old son) is the only thing that is real.” says the artist “A crowd of people pass by, many of them are fullfilled, but there’s one person who is not – I am one who is void of anything.” In his recent works, everything with any representation is dissolved in the center of the painting or overlapped ormerged into graduated colours, and the inclining frames reveals his current anxieties and suffering.

This exhibition is curated by Yifei Wu, a selection of works from different stages of his career will be showcased as an attempt to convey the development of the artist’s thoughts – an opening to a path into understanding his works.
