展览现场关于艺术家ABOUT THE ARTIST烟囱(b. 1983),中国当代艺术家、漫画家,毕业于中央美术学院国画系,目前生活和工作于北京。他的艺术创作形式多样,涵盖漫画、架上绘画、拼贴以及布艺缝纫。作品通常以自己的日常生活为灵感,将真实经历与杜撰情节巧妙融合,呈现出一种独特的叙事方式和情感线索。烟囱的创作风格幽默且富有洞察力,不仅关注艺术家生活中的细微之事,也常通过漫画化的方式讲述艺术圈的现象与荒诞。将漫画融入到当代艺术体系,把绘画浸润到漫画的轻盈与趣味之中,这让烟囱的创作逐渐形成了一种“漫绘画”的样貌。Yan Cong (b. 1983), a contemporary Chinese artist and cartoonist, graduated from the Department of Traditional Chinese Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Currently living and working in Beijing, Yan Cong employs a diverse range of creative mediums, including comics, painting, collage, and textile art. Yan Cong’s work draws heavily on his daily life, weaving together authentic experiences with imagined scenarios to create a narrative style that is both deeply personal and richly evocative. Yan Cong’s artistic style is both humorous and insightful, reflecting on the nuances of his personal experiences while also addressing the peculiarities and absurdities of the art world through a cartoonish lens. By integrating comics into the framework of contemporary art and infusing painting with the lightness and playfulness of comics, Yan Cong has developed a unique hybrid practice described as “comic painting.”
