很多时候，过于直白的阐述，会降低作品的趣味与艺术性。而恰当的隐藏，反而能更好的引发观者的思维，用幻想来填补画面的‘空缺’。简－西方的极简与中国画的留白，以无声胜有声形式来解释不着一字，形神俱备。而那些代表鬼与神的金银‘贡品’，又像符咒一样，牢牢附着在那烟波浩渺的空灵画面之上，似畏似敬。艺术家把幼年对神灵的妄念用艺术的手法，做到了最佳的组合与提炼。在传统民间风俗文化之上，用自己的艺术语言朝拜供奉自己的内心！

明昭对于初识的人来说感觉是个永远长不大的孩子，却不知他是一个内心丰满且执着的人。

看到他的作品总会给人一种孤独的代入感。聊到童年他总是想起小时候和爷爷一起祈福拜神明的场景，金银箔纸一直在中国文化中承载着太多的故事和内涵。中国人对于神明的理解是多元化的，我们相信金银箔纸编织的物品可以通达他们，有着令人着迷的魔力。

因此明昭沿用了金银箔纸的文化内涵创作了这一系列作品。极简化的构图和符号化的造型其实都是为了突破空间和具象的限制，能够更为纯粹的说明精神实质上的观念。画面的单纯和色彩的重叠使得他的画面更有了可塑性。对于他来说作品创作的过程类似于宗教庆典，画面底色上的贴金银正是这场仪式缔造者。

想要探索未知通达内心此次展览会带你做一次心灵旅程。

Many times, blunt description will lower the enjoyment and aesthetics of art works. And apposite caution, on the contrary, will bring out the imagination of the audience, to fulfill the absence with imagination. Simplicity, in the West is the minimalism, in China is the Liu Bai, both trying to be expressive without actual figures or colors. And the tributes in gold and silver representing the ghosts and gods, just like amulets, stubbornly adhere to the vastly empty and unpredictable painting, with either fear or respect. The artist uses his misconception of the gods and spirts when he was a child through art, creates new composition and ideas. Based on traditional culture and custom, he enshrines his own heart with his artistic language.

Mingzhao, for people just get to know him, feels like if he is still a kid. But, inside, on the contrary, he is a mature and persistent man. Looking at his paintings will bring you a sense of loneliness. When he talked about his childhood, he always mentioned the story he went to the shrine to preform rituals with his grandfather. Gold and silver foil have undertaken too many stories and meanings in Chinese culture. Chinese people’s perception of gods and spirts is multidimensional, we believe that the gold and silver foil have magical power to reach them.

Therefore, Mingzhao created these series of works based on the same principle of culture attached with the gold and silver foil. Minimalistic composition and symbolic figures are, in fact, to break the spatial and concrete limitation, and to explore the ideas of pure and essential characteristics of human spirit. The simplicity of the imagery and the superimposition of color makes his painting plastic. For him, the process of creating his works is like a religious celebration. The maker of this celebration is the ground of gold of silver.

To explore the unknown to reach your heart is the aim of this exhibition.
