赵一浅全新艺术项目——new idol

  一个是来自公元前的精神信仰。
  
  一个是当下消费时代的卡通形象。
  
  赵一浅的全新艺术创作系列挪用并叠加这两个来自不同时代的象征,塑造出一个全新的“偶像”——new idol。

  “偶像”最初原本是人为神创造的形象,用来寄托人类难以安放的欲望和无法避免的苦难,一个精神乐园。

 

  

  然而工业革命后,生产力飞跃带来个人主义的兴盛,我们淡忘了神,消费成为新的伊甸园,购买带来满足,娱乐刺激感官。

 

  艺术家用这个全新的偶像形象“new idol”来表达自己的态度。

  结合现代3D技术及古典主义艺术语言的“new idol”带来关乎精神与信仰的多重隐喻:圆滑可爱的外形、负重的肩胛骨,因疼痛而用力的脚趾和松弛的身体,光芒与升腾的力量,“new idol”形象看似玩味的背后,是对隐忍,救赎与爱的肯定。

  神性是克制,是平等,而消费是放纵与贫富的差距,所以当代人真的不需要精神偶像吗?
  
  这是赵一浅对观众提出的开放性问题,也是对当下时代的批判。

  It is the image of spiritual belief from centuries ago.
  
  It is also the image of cartoon in the era of consumption.
  
  Artist Zhao Yiqian’s newest work series has appropriated and combined these symbolic images of two different eras, creating a new "Idol" - new idol.
  
  Originally, "Idol" was created by human beings, in order to enter a spiritual paradise where the unsettling can be settled and the unavoidable can be avoided.

  However, after the industrial revolution, the leap of productivity brought about the rise of individualism. The gods are forgotten, and consumption has become the new Eden. Purchasing leads to satisfaction, and entertainment stimulates the senses.
  
  The artist uses the work "new idol" to express his own attitude.

  With modern 3D technology and classical sculptural language applied, “new idol” creates multiple metaphors that are related with spirituality and beliefs: its sleek and lovely shape, its shoulder that is bearing a heavy burden, its toes struggling in pain, its obese body, its halo and inner power. The intriguing appearance of “new idol” express its own forbearance, redemption and affirmation of love.
  
  Divinity is restraint, equality, while consumption brings about gaps between the rich and the poor. Do contemporary people really do not need spiritual idols?
  
  This is Zhao Yiqian’s open question to the viewer, as well as his criticism and reflection on the modern age.
