空白空间荣幸的宣布谢帆个展“景深”将于2012年3月25日开幕，此次展览共展出艺术家在2011－2012年最新创作的十余件绘画作品。
年轻艺术家谢帆在2009年开始尝试将帆布上的油画实践转移到绢质画布上，这一看似简单的决定，并非是为了回归中国传统绘画的文化旨趣，而是基于谢帆本人在视觉层面一贯的形式方向。与他之前的布面作品相比，半透明的绢质基底更加清晰的衬托出谢帆所执着的视觉本身的非物质性——由光、绢、画框以及颜料共同营造出的一个物质性的漫反射空间，从物理角度逾越了平面绘画形式中常规的图－底关系，令观者的目光仿佛反观看见影像投射在自己的视网膜上的那一时刻，视觉重新回转到柏拉图所说的“洞穴”里，以一种辩证的方式展现出视觉的本质。
中文“景深”一词在光学中尤其是录影或是摄影， 指的是一个描述在空间中可以清楚成像的距离范围。展览引入这一概念，一方面旨在提示谢帆绘画实践与现代光学之间的视觉联系，另一方面也提醒观者注意谢帆作品自身的形式构架——展览的英文标题“THE LAYERS”也在表明这一点。
谢帆1983年生于四川江油，2005年毕业于四川美术学院，现在生活和工作在北京。
WHITE SPACE BEIJING is pleased to declare the opening of “The Layers” – Xie Fan Solo Exhibition at 3:00pm, March 25, 2012. The exhibition will showing more than ten latest paintings created by the artist during 2011 to 2012.
Since 2009, young artist Xie Fan started trying to shift the oil painting on canvas onto silk. The seemingly simple decision did not aim at going back to embrace the cultural delight of traditional Chinese paintings, but was based on his consecutive form on visual level. Compared with his works on canvas, the translucent silk could highlight the immateriality – a physical diffuse reflection space composed of light, silk, frames and pigments, physically transcending the regular figure-ground relationship of 2D paintings - of the visual sense itself which pursued by Xie Fan. Thus, it seems that the viewers could see the moment when the object projected on their retinas, and their eyesight turns back to Plato’s “cave”, demonstrating the nature of visual sense in a dialectical way.
In the scope of optics, especially in the context of video-recording or photography, “Jing Shen” (Chinese Pinyin of “the layers”) means the depth of field within which one can make clear images. The exhibition employs this concept to indicate the visual relation between Xie Fan’s art practice and modern optics, and also to remind the viewers to notice the structure of the works themselves – the English title of this exhibition also manifests this.
Xie Fan was born in 1983 in Jiangyou, Sichuan Province and graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2005. Currently lives and works in Beijing.
