inner flow Gallery将于2024年10月25日推出艺术家马若骢的全新个展“丰溢之血”,展览将完整呈现艺术家现阶段的创作和思考。
inner flow Gallery will present artist Ma Ruocong’s new solo exhibition, “The Full Blood,” on October 25, 2024. The exhibition will fully showcase the artist’s current stage of creation and reflection.
神圣的血红色引向一条禁忌之路,沿途的祭台把生死、暴力、诱惑、幻想依次排开,完成一场献祭仪式。“丰溢之血”是艺术家继“肉身”和“对视”后,延伸出的基于私人经验——爱时经血更浓郁——的新隐喻。血液在供给生命动力的同时,充斥疾病、不洁、赎罪、诞生等意味。禁忌和爱欲反复在此次展览中缠绕。
The sacred crimson hue leads to a forbidden path, with altars along the way unfolding life and death, violence, temptation, and fantasy, culminating in a ritual of sacrifice. The Full Blood builds upon Ma’s earlier works, Flesh and Gaze, extending into a new metaphor rooted in personal experience—menstrual blood becomes more intense in moments of love. Blood, while symbolizing the life force, also carries associations of disease, impurity, atonement, and birth. Taboos and desire are intricately entwined throughout this exhibition.
野狗、马、鲜花、贝壳、骸骨被艺术家打碎组成“新肉身”,铺开一片仅依靠自然法则的权力关系战场;颜料在光滑的肌肤上堆出“焰火尖”,是割开人类受动物性奴役的真相。丰盈的爱意总使人沉醉,马若骢的创作如感性蓄水池中的猛兽,以私密的情欲驯服暴力。
Stray dogs, horses, flowers, shells, and bones are shattered by the artist to form a “new flesh,” laying out a battlefield governed purely by natural laws of power dynamics. Paint piled on smooth skin becomes “firework tips,” cutting open the truth of humanity’s enslavement by animal instincts. The abundance of love intoxicates, and Ma Ruocong’s creations, like a beast from a sensual reservoir, tame violence through intimate desire.
画是卧室,标题是艺术家留给观众的钥匙。正如《女人的狡兔三窟/That woman has no place to go》、《我甚知她/I knew her so little》,中英文对仗的标题,以自我暴露同时真假莫辨的叙事手法进行告白,语言作为人类最为暴力的链接方式,成为构建艺术文本的重要一环。
The paintings serve as bedrooms, with the titles acting as keys for the audience. Works such as “女人的狡兔三窟/That Woman Has No Place to Go” and “我甚知她/I Knew Her So Little” feature symmetrical English and Chinese titles, using a confessional narrative that is simultaneously revealing yet elusive. Language, as the most violent human link, plays a crucial role in shaping the artistic discourse.
