　　3 ARTISTS @ 798
　　@798三人展

　　In July 798 l Red Gate Gallery features a showpiece exhibition by three of the gallery’s foremost artists – Lu Peng, Wei Qingji and Li Gang.

　　七月，798 / 紅門畫廊將會呈獻一場三位畫廊最頂尖藝術家——呂鵬、魏青吉和李剛的作品聯(lián)展。

　　3 artists @ 798 presents selected works from the artists’ recent exhibitions. Lu Peng, Wei Qingji and Li Gang are very different in their choice and interpretation of subjects and techniques, but as Chinese artists of a similar generation their work presents a microcosm of the diversity and commonality of practice existing in China today.

　　@798三人展將展出由藝術家近期個展中精選出的作品。呂鵬、魏青吉和李剛的作品，從選材、主題到技法各有不同，但作為身處同一時代的中國藝術家，他們的作品均可以看作反映中國當代現(xiàn)實的共同點及多樣性的縮影。

　　Figurative and symbolic elements link the artists’ works. Wei Qingji’s fictitious images are drawn from traditional and contemporary iconography, explored through ink and wash. Lu Peng’s surreal figures float entwined, in a dreamlike state, meticulously drafted with Chinese colour onto paper. Li Gang’s photographs of mysterious landscapes and vague interiors capture his intuitive, poetic view of the world and have spiritual associations.

　　比喻和象征元素貫穿著藝術家的作品。魏青吉通過探索新的水墨表現(xiàn)形式和汲取傳統(tǒng)及現(xiàn)代的各種圖形元素，創(chuàng)造出令人驚嘆的意象。在呂鵬的作品中，夢幻般的人物形象經(jīng)過采用中國傳統(tǒng)顏料的細膩描繪而躍然交織于紙上。李剛描繪奇異風景和模糊的內(nèi)心意識的攝影作品表達了他通過直覺對世界充滿詩意的理解，并有一種和作者精神上的鏈接。

　　3 artists @ 798 is a forerunner to the major Olympic Stars exhibition which will present new work by the stable of Red Gate Gallery artists in August this year over the period of the Olympic Games in Beijing.

　　@798三人展將是一次先導性的展覽。8月，在北京舉辦奧運會期間，紅門畫廊將隆重舉辦“奧運之星”作品聯(lián)展。在“奧運之星”展上，紅門畫廊簽約藝術家的全新作品將集體亮相。
