《圓‧規》——徐晨陽油畫作品展是藝術家繼2016年《有距無離》及2018年1月在中國美術館《記憶‧流星》之後在香港的又一個展。本次展覽將推出《記憶流星》和《影》系列中的重要作品，展覽將在10月5日（週五）下午5時於香港天趣藝術館開幕，期間於5時30分進行研討會，主持人韓祺，主講者為哲學家、美學家、北大藝術學院副院長彭鋒教授，重要嘉賓包括中大藝術系副教授周晋、美國克林信大學經濟系徐家健教授等。展覽持續至10月31日。
 
始則終，終則始，往者過，來著繼，圓為整，圓無礙。在中國哲學裡，萬物以「圓」的樣式複返恆久，生生不息。而「圓」在藝術領域通常體現為一種整體的生命情致，中國的藝術家會在創作時，以有限達無限，自當下往永恆。此次《記憶流星》系列部分作品亦於今年初在中國美術館展出，畫面中的圓各自獨立，內部卻很多極有稜角的生物體，週邊因為做了圓形處理，看似柔軟，但內裡積聚的力量彷彿隨時會迸發。無論每個個體自我感覺多漫長的記憶，放置宇宙，都是流星般一閃而過。此外，藝術家一直希望畫面與現實保持足夠的距離，以拒絕世俗性對其繪畫的侵蝕。其內心也一直無意識地對一切保持適當距離。「圓」是適合他的，圓看似最溫順，其實離群索居，最適合製造距離，反映了藝術家的本真與態度。
 
「圓」是《記憶流星》系列外在的主要形態呈現，「規」是《影》系列背後的脈絡，圓與規在畫面中構築秩序與恆久，這既是徐晨陽個人的哲思，亦是徐晨陽獨創的繪畫方式。圓者規體，其勢也自轉，方者矩形，其勢也自安。圓動方靜，這兩個系列的作品使本次展覽動靜均衡，令人回味雋永。

"Circle ‧ Rules"  - Xu Chenyang Oil Painting Exhibition

After Somewhere Within the Distance in June, 2016 and Memory‧Meteor in National Art Museum China in January, 2018, Art of Nature now proudly presents Xu Chenyang’s solo oil painting exhibition Circle‧Rules, featuring his crucial works in “Memory Meteor” and “Shadow” series.

The exhibition can be viewed until October 31st.
 
Life is like a circle. A circle embodies the endless life in Chinese philosophy. Circle is always realized as an integral part of life in art. Chinese artists attempt to unfold the infinity, present the moment and the eternity in their art creation. The “Memory‧Meteor” series displayed in the National Art Museum China earlier this year will be showcased in this exhibition. The circles in “Memory Meteor” series are independent, with angular-shaped organisms inside. The outer part is rounded and it seems to be soft, yet the inner force accumulates and feels like to collapse and ready to burst any time. No matter how much memories you keep in mind, they are like meteors flashing by in the universe. Xu always hopes that his art can be far away from the reality so as to reject the erosion by secularity on his paintings. His mind has always been unconsciously keeping a distance for everything. A circle seems to be the most docile image. In fact, it is most suitable for creating distance. It is the least angular, but the easiest to keep distance with other objects. ”Circle” represents Xu’s nature and attitude. “Circle” is the external manifestation of Memory Meteor series, while “Rules” is the intrinsic quality of Shadow series. Such relation between circle and rules affirms Xu’s philosophy and unique painting technique. “Circle” and “Rules” build the order and fixity in his artworks, and also embody his thoughts and personal style of painting. No matter circle or rules, things develop in their own ways. The two different series form a “Moving - Calming” equipoise state, which is memorable and meaningful.
