迴光—李寧個人展覽, 香港版畫工作室
香港版畫工作室年獎 2019-2020 得獎者展覽
16/05/2020 - 31/05/2020
Flipped Trip is not only a journey through time and space, but also a time-travelling box. In this unprecedented time of pandemic, the artist asks: can humans escape into this imaginary box and survive?
「迴」字就像乘著船穿越時空的未來盒子;迴光則代表訣別前的信號,是事物在瀕臨滅亡前稍縱即逝的美好。在病毒蔓延的世界裏,藝術家問:人類能否逃到想像中的盒子裡生存下來?
HKOP Award in Printmaking: In order to encourage young printmakers to show their talents, Hong Kong Open Printshop Award in Printmaking was established in 2018. There are 3 awardees this year: Emily Hung, Avery Lau Hong-lam, Li Ning.
香港版畫工作室年獎: 香港版畫工作室於2018年設立「香港版畫工作室年獎」,以鼓勵及獎勵新一代版畫家創作。本年度共有三位得獎者:洪詩雅、劉杭霖、李寧。
Our memories become fragmented amidst rapid changes. In Li Ning’s prints, fragments of reality intertwine with unknown time and space—which version of the story do you see?
Li Ning creates relief prints by first inking and printing linocut plates, then making collages of the prints on paper. He believes that this way of creating gives him freedom, and he often finds inspiration in the composition and rearrangement of pictorial elements. Like a map with multiple timelines, his works compile scenes created at different times and with various odd perspectives. In Flipped Trip, Li Ning takes on the roles of printmaker, storyteller and traveller. Through creating a space that transcends the boundaries of time, he shows us an imagination that interweaves past and future seamlessly, and invites viewers to venture into his printmaking world.
高速變幻的時代下,記憶變得零碎。在李寧的版畫作品中,片段時空交錯及地點不詳——你看到的又是哪個版本的故事?
李寧以凸版畫創作,把圖像施以油墨印在紙上,再進行拼貼。他認為這種創作方式給予他很大的自由度,而他往往在二次構圖的時候獲得靈感。作品匯集在不同時間完成的畫面,穿插種種不合理的透視,像一幅堆疊多個時間軸的地圖。在《迴光》裡,李寧是版畫家、說書人及旅行家。他會嘗試創造一個超越時間界限的空間,描述交織過去的記憶與未來的想像,邀請觀者在他的版畫世界中穿梭。
