CHEN WENJI – WHAT

2011.12.04 – 2012.02.04

Press Release

Chekhov once said,” A novelist is not the one to solve problem, but the one to ask questions.” If we convert the literature into painting, they should have the same meaning. In the artist’s perspective, everything is a problem. The artist is not necessary to assume the responsibility of answering when they are facing the powerless of questions. There is even no meaning to answer. It just prompts the existence of questions. Plainly speaking, art itself is already a problem
On November 26, 2011, aye gallery will show you dozen of pieces of Chen Wenji’s latest works. These works remain his painting style in recent years, resulting different reaction of visual sense by different forms. There forms (or works) still don’t have any meanings, not represent anything, nor point to anything. Maybe they are nothing, but perhaps they are everything……
