方力钧（b.1963）于2023年6月1日至6月30日期间，在埃斯卡纳齐（ESKENAZI, 英国伦敦）呈现艺术家在英国的首次个展《完美与崩坏之间：方力钧陶瓷雕塑》。
作为1990年代在中国兴起的玩世现实主义运动的领军人物，方力钧的绘画凭借其大幅的光头人物形象和夸张的五官塑造享誉国际。然而，方作为艺术家的多才多艺体现在他能根据自己的表现需要在不同的媒体之间自由切换，包括油画、木版画和陶瓷。本次展览将重点展示九件陶瓷雕塑，这些透明、模块化堆叠的结构探索了完美与崩坏之间的流动状态。展览还将同时展出方的几幅水墨素描作品，让您深入了解这些陶瓷雕塑的制作方法，以及两幅引人注目的水墨肖像画。
Artist Fang Lijun (b.1963) will present a solo exhibition, Between Perfection and Destruction: Fang Lijun Porcelain Sculpture, in Eskenazi (London, UK) from June 1st to 30th. This will be the artist's first solo exhibition in the UK.As one of the leading artists of the 1990s Cynical Realism movement in China, Fang Lijun has gained international recognition for his large-scale paintings of figures with shaven heads and exaggerated facial features. However, Fang’s versatility as an artist is seen in his ability to switch between different media including oils, woodblock prints and ceramics depending on his expressive needs. The current exhibition highlights nine porcelain sculptures – diaphanous, stacked modular constructions - which explore Fang’s interest in the state of flux between perfection and destruction. These are accompanied by preparatory ink sketches which provide an insight into his working methods and by two striking ink portraits.
