"Landscapes of the Soul" Sun Chenyi Solo Exhibition
Sun Chenyi, a graduate of Fudan University's Shanghai Institute of Visual Art, received his master's degree in painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design in the United States in 2018.
Sun Chenyi's works are notable for their attention to two main directions, each of which is a rich and complex field of artistic exploration. In the first, he seeks to reshape space, imbuing it with a sense of richness, mystery, and diversity that draws the viewer in and invites contemplation. Through his use of color and form, he creates a sense of depth and complexity that encourages us to look more closely at the world around us.
In the second direction, Sun Chenyi's works explore the relationships and connections between people, society, and the world in all their complexity. Through different painting expressions and themes, he probes the enduring question of how we relate to one another and to the world around us as we age and change. From the objects that populate our lives to the environments we inhabit, everything is in a constant state of evolution, and our experiences at each stage of life lead to new thinking and progress.
Thus, Sun Chenyi's works offer not only a feast for the senses but also a rich tapestry of ideas and themes that invite us to reflect on our place in the world and the connections that bind us together. Whether we are young or old, his works offer us a window into a world of mystery and wonder, inviting us to explore the depths of the human experience and the landscapes of the soul.
The exhibition features two series, "Wonderful World" and "Reality and Nothingness".
The "Wonderful World" series invites viewers to embark on a journey of imagination and introspection, where each artwork serves as a portal to a different world. Through the use of various techniques, the artist brings to life surreal landscapes, mythical beings, and dreamlike scenarios that explore the human psyche and the mysteries of the universe. As the series progresses, the diary entries become more introspective, reflecting the artist's growth and evolution. The entries touch on personal struggles, philosophical musings, and spiritual revelations, creating a narrative that is both otherworldly and deeply human.
Overall, the "Wonderful World" series is a testament to the power of art to transport us to new realms and to reveal the beauty and complexity of our inner worlds.
The "Reality and Nothingness" series invites viewers to immerse themselves in this surreal world, to question their own perceptions of reality, and to explore the depths of their own subconscious. It encourages them to embrace the unknown and to seek new experiences in order to better understand the complexities of their own existence.
Through this journey, viewers are reminded that life is never as simple as it seems, and that reality and illusion are often intertwined in mysterious and unexpected ways.
This series aims to explore the depths of the human subconscious and attempts to break free from conventional logic and inherent reality. By challenging the reality images and spaces based on orderly experiential memory, the series brings to light the complexities of the human mind. It blends together ideas, memories, consciousness, and dream experiences to present an illusory world that merges with the real world.
Objects in reality are reduced to a void space, where they are sought, constructed, and reshaped, revealing the limitless possibilities of the human imagination.
