亚洲艺术中心荣幸地宣布将于2018年8月25日至9月16日举办“印痕与复数 - 陈琦个展”。艺术家陈琦，1963年生于南京，现为中央美术学院研究生院常务副院长、教授、博士生导师，中国美术馆展览评审委员会委员，中国美术家协会版画艺术委员会委员，中国国家画院版画院秘书长。本次展览将展出陈琦自2015年开始进行的一系列实验性独幅版画作品创作。陈琦的水印版画将传统与当代对接，在中国当代水印版画史上具有标志性的地位。他志在突破版画原有的简单复制特性：通过随机痕迹与即兴灵感来提取版画、制作材质及过程本身的艺术性，从而在他的艺术语言中探索并发掘水印版画在当代艺术文化语境中的意义，以期实现传统艺术形式的传承与创新。

印痕与复数
“从2015年始，我以20年前《琴》、《明式》、《荷》、《阐释》等作品的旧印版做了一系列实验性独幅版画作品。唯一目的就是希翼在印痕与复数这两个版画本体最基本概念上寻求突破与超越。实验打破了印版原有套印次序，印版不再依原先设定好的次序按部就班套印，而是根据印版自身图形结构形态自然生发的意象，即兴发挥，自由印制。如此，印版便由过去单纯的形象再现功能中解放出来而彰显其存在的价值和意义。与此同时，这样的实验性作品也消解了版画机械性复数，使每张版画都具有独一无二的印痕和精神禀赋。”

《欲念之海 The Sea of Desire》
画心 85x45cm 画纸 98x62cm 水印版画 Woodblock Print 2017
Asia Art Center is proud to announce the opening of “Imprint · Plurality” of the artist Chen Qi on August 25th, 2018. This exhibition will be on view through September 16th, 2018. Born in Nanjing in 1963, Chen Qi is currently working as a professor and the Deputy Dean of Graduate School of CAFA (Central Academy of Fine Arts), the associate director of Printmaking Art Committee of China Artists Association, and the secretary general of Printmaking Department of China National Academy of Painting. The exhibition will feature a series of experimental solo prints created by Chen Qi since 2015. Chen Qi connects the tradition with the contemporary through his works, earning an iconic status in the history of Chinese contemporary woodblock printmaking. Through randomized digital process and improvisational inspiration, he aims to break through the simple repetitive nature of printmaking and extract artistry from prints, the production process, and the printing materials. Thus, in his artistic language, in order to realize the inheritance and the innovation of traditional art form, he explores and discovers the significance of woodblock printmaking in the context of contemporary art and Chinese culture.

Imprint ˑ Plurality
“Since 2015, I have made a series of independent experimental works works by reusing the used woodblock that I made 20 years ago, such as “Ancient Stringed Instruments,” “Ming Furniture,” “Lotus,” and “Interpretation.” The sole purpose is seeking to break through and to transcend the two basic concepts of print and plurality. The experimental method is to break the original overprint order of the printing plate. The printing plate is no longer in accordance with the original design order. It does not follow the overprint procedure of the standard register. Instead, it is spontaneously generated according to the graphic structure of the printing plate and is improvised and freely printed. Thus, the printing plate is liberated from the previous simple function of image reproduction to demonstrate the value and significance of its existence. At the same time, such experimental works also eliminate the mechanical plurality of prints, making each print a unique imprint of spirituality.”
