Museum de Zwarte Tulp (the Black Tulip) is currently displaying the first solo exhibition of the Chinese artist Zhuang Hong Yi in The Netherlands in almost 10 years. It is a retrospective exhibition with key works from the period 2003 – 2018. The source of inspiration for the collages, ‘Landscapes’ and ‘Flowerbeds’ which can be seen in the museum, were the endless, colorful flower bulb fields that Zhuang saw glide away below him on his first flight from China to The Netherlands.
Article in french | Pour la première fois depuis dix ans, le musée de la Tulipe Noire, à Lisse (tout près d’Amsterdam), offre une petite rétrospective des œuvres de Zhuang Hong Yi depuis 2003. Des abstractions lumineuses, inspirées par les champs de tulipes et engagées pour l’environnement. À deux pas du fameux parc Keukenhof, non loin d’Amsterdam, voici de drôles d’œuvres qu’on hésite à qualifier de peintures ou de collages. Petites ou grandes, lumineuses, presque phosphorescentes, elles changent de couleur et d’apparence, selon que l’on se place face à elles, qu’on les regarde depuis la droite ou la gauche. Les contempler constitue une véritable expérience sensorielle. Elles rayonnent, fascinent… Mais sont-elles vraiment des abstractions ?
The Chinese artist Zhuang Hong Yi (*1962 Sichuan / China I lives in Rotterdam and Beijing) combines imaginary opposites almost without effort and condenses them into space-consuming wall objects which, due to their seductive haptic character and enchanting dynamic palette of colours, appear rather as installative wall objects than paintings. He calls them Flowerbeds, these flowerheads which sprout equally from the canvas, sometimes tenderly fragile, sometimes deliberately voluminous. In their material language of rice paper, ink and varnish, they quote Chinese handicrafts to seek for a place to sprout between European NeoImpressionism and Western Abstraction. The Museum Ulm presents a selection of works by Zhuang Hong Yi in a solo museum exhibition for the first time in Germany from March 03 to June 17, 2018.
