\u201cGAMA: Idylls of the Kings\u201d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chambers Fine Art<\/strong> <\/a>(Red No.1-D, Caochangdi, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100015), March 7\u2013May 3, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GAMA places great emphasis on creating a unique identity for himself. He refuses to reveal his true name to me, despite our shared roots in Inner Mongolia. He only goes into a few details about the \u201cnomadic lifestyle\u201d of his youth\u2014the artist grew up in the Donghe District of Baotou (an industrial city in northern China), his aunt was a shaman, and he later went abroad to Germany to study painting, settling in Berlin. Objectively speaking, his paintings are quite good; even if he lacked a unique identity or \u201csupernatural\u201d relations, the paintings alone would be enough to set this artist apart from the crowd. However, these details are not irrelevant, because this constant awareness of identity is the artist\u2019s impetus for maintaining in balanced counterpoint several dualistic elements: natural scenery and electronic visuals, uninhibited expressionism and fantastical surrealism, cramped interiors and expansive wilderness\u2014these dichotomies co-exist within the narrative of the artist\u2019s compositions, transforming and playing off each other. In addition, the formal language of his paintings is clearly referential in its direction. In \u201cThe Room\u201d (2012), the viewer may glimpse the loneliness and alienation of urban life so often depicted by Edward Hopper, while in \u201cGuest Room\u201d (2012) one finds the hazy brushstrokes of Gerhard Richter, and discovers Matthew Barney\u2019s iconic monstrosities in \u201cThe Holy Bible #2\u201d (2012-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is even highly likely that the floorboards depicted in his paintings may have Ren\u00e9 Magritte as their progenitor. Each stroke of the artist\u2019s brush alludes to renowned artists, giving rise to a sense of heritage and connection; but in the images he has created, one finds that cultural identity is the eternal land of the artist\u2019s exploration and the realm of his deep-seated anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
