UNCOMMON COMMON: Curated by WANG Yaoli

Overview
UNCOMMON COMMON, Curated by WANG Yaoli
When personal memories are made public on canvas by the artists, details are enlarged, plots are changed, and secrets are deliberately exposed, modified, or hidden. We do not know the truth, but the freshness of life can be seen. A kind of bad taste, regarded by others as childishness, comes from the eyes that only children have.

When personal memories are made public on canvas by the artists, details are enlarged, plots are changed, and secrets are deliberately exposed, modified, or hidden. We do not know the truth, but the freshness of life can be seen. A kind of bad taste, regarded by others as childishness, comes from the eyes that only children have.
 
The exhibition UNCOMMON COMMON presents more than 20 paintings from six artists, with passion and humor as a tone, the feeling of familiarity with daily things, local culture, natural landscape, folk stories, and childhood memories is transformed skillfully by using a unique personal style into exaggerated, novelty, childlike, and fictional to create the artificial landscape. Iconic images overlap on the vagaries of the scene, and in the artist's impulse of creation, accompanied by keen intuition, the curved, fluid lines drawn back to the experience of the past, eventually forming a complete picture pieced together from the fragments of memory. The “COMMON” is mutating in the imagination of the artists, who smash the sense of routine, thereby creating the bizarrerie of “UNCOMMON.”
