Leo Gallery is proud to announce our participation at Art Basel Hong Kong 2022! This year, we bring Chinese artist Qin Feng’s solo to the fair.

“Qin Feng in Venice – San Giorgio Maggiore” promotes cultural interaction and a greater understanding of our contemporary civilization through open dialogues. It aims to offer a glimpse of Qin Feng’s artistic achievements in cultural compatibility, so as to push forward the dialogues between the Eastern and Western cultures which were initiated in the exhibition titled “Waiting for Qin Feng” curated by Achille Bonito Oliva in San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice in 2016. The works on show include important creations of the artist - from the Desire Scenery series to the Fallen Angel series that were once showcased in Venice, which epitomize the pivotal stages of Qin Feng’s artistic career.

Qin’s paintings present emotional and explosive images that seamlessly blend ancient Chinese calligraphy with Western abstract expressionism. With best endeavors, Qin attempts to create a space for exchange between the Eastern cultural context and Western artistic expression, in the hope that viewers will be able to feel the same emotions he had when he first stepped across the boundary of civilization and entered a sacred realm.

As an artist and scholar that incorporate both Eastern and Western cultures, Qin Feng is a leading figure in revolutionizing traditional Chinese ink painting. His works go through and beyond the field of civilization; across traditional and contemporary; idea and practice; they merge the spirit of Chinese calligraphy and the romanticism in Western expressionism, giving rise to a unique artistic language and style.

迎风：秦风圣乔治·马焦雷岛个展，2016

今年度香港藝術界盛事巴塞爾藝術展香港展會，獅語画廊為觀眾帶來中國藝術家秦風的個展《秦風在威尼斯——聖喬治·馬焦雷島》。
是次展出包括秦風2016年應Achille Bonito Oliva邀請在威尼斯雙年展期間於聖喬治·馬焦雷島修道院舉辦《迎風》個展的「慾望風景」與「墜落的天使」系列多幅經典作品, 標誌著秦風藝術生涯重要的一頁。《秦風在威尼斯——聖喬治·馬焦雷島》也是對秦風作品中的文化兼容與多義性的階段總結，意圖重現威尼斯彼時東西方藝術別開生面的對談面貌。
秦風的作品展示情感豐富和爆炸性的圖像，將中國古代書法與西方抽象表現主義無縫融合。秦風傾力為東方文化語境與西方藝術表現的對話開闢空間，希望觀者同樣體驗到藝術家自己第一次越過文明藩籬，走進神聖領域的時刻。
作為一個橫跨東西方文化的藝術家及學者，秦風是革新了中國傳統水墨的代表性人物。他的作品穿越文明的曠野，在傳統與當代、構思與實現間穿梭, 兼容了西方表現主義哲學的浪漫與中國書寫式的氣韻，構建了個人獨特的語言和風格。

展览主题 Exhibition theme：WAITING FOR QIN FENG <迎风>

展览时间 Exhibition time：2016 年 5 月 19 日—6 月 19 日 May 19th-June 19th, 2016

开幕式地点 Venue of opening ceremony：Venice，San Giorgio Maggiore

策展人 The curator：奥尼瓦 Achille Bonito Oliva&万达 Umberto Vattani

At 6: 00 pm on May 19th, 2016, "WAITING FOR QIN FENG" Qin Feng. The opening ceremony of the solo exhibition in Venice was grandly opened in the holy San Giorgio Maggiore. The curators, Oniva Achille Bonito Oliva and Wanda Umberto Vattani, gathered together with the chairman of the Louvre Museum, the curator of Guggenheim Museum, representatives of the United Nations and other famous artists, critics and politicians to witness this historical moment.

此次展览特别展出了一组“天圆地方”系列的青花瓷碗装置作品，近 2 米的青花大碗内外描绘了古埃及、玛雅、古巴比伦以及东方古老象形符号。构成史前先后人类文明基本特征及文脉。

In this exhibition, a set of blue and white porcelain bowl installations of the "Heaven and Round Place" series are specially displayed. The inside and outside of the nearly 2m blue and white bowl depicts ancient Egypt, Maya, ancient Babylon and ancient oriental hieroglyphs. The basic characteristic and context of human civilization in prehistoric times.

天圆地方大型陶瓷装置作品及二十四口彩釉大碗镶嵌在巴洛克建筑代表作品的园林中，由交响乐团演奏的优美旋律引领，与会佳宾无不陶醉其中。 在进入主厅的前廊，《坠落的天使》横空玄关左右，象征东方哲学阴阳。同时这两幅作品与《加纳的婚礼》隔厅呼应。《加纳的婚礼》描绘了在一对新人的婚礼的现场，上帝展现了他的第一个神迹，而秦风的“坠落的天使”系列展现了自然世界阴阳理念，相生相克生生不息。

The large-scale ceramic installation works and twenty-four colored glazed bowls in the world are embedded in the gardens of representative works of Baroque architecture. They are led by the beautiful melody played by the symphony orchestra, and all the guests at the meeting are intoxicated. Entering the front porch of the main hall, "Falling Angels" rises to the left and right of the porch, symbolizing the yin and yang of eastern philosophy. At the same time, these two works echo "Wedding in Ghana" across the hall. The Wedding in Ghana depicts the scene of a couple's wedding, where God shows his first miracle, while Qin Feng's "Falling Angels" series shows the concept of yin and yang in the natural world.

当晚 7 时，在绵绵细雨与交响乐的完美映衬下，大提琴的独奏中，将展场气氛推向高潮。秦风在主厅与艺复兴时期代表作《加纳的婚礼》的互动下，进行了现场即兴创作。他以西方媒介东方语境与哲学观照再现了《加纳的婚礼》。

At 7 o'clock that night, under the perfect background of drizzle and symphony, the solo of cello pushed the atmosphere of the exhibition to a climax. Under the interaction between Qin Feng's main hall and the representative work of the Art Renaissance, The Wedding in Ghana, he improvised on the spot. He reproduced "The Wedding in Ghana" with the oriental context and philosophical perspective of western media.

秦风表示，这幅画表达了他对于东西方文明、古代文艺复兴与当代文艺复兴的兼容信念，同时表现了他对于未来文明包容性环境的美好向往。 此次展览获得了意大利官方最高级别机构的支持，包括意大利文化部、威尼斯国际大学等。同时，此次活动也是首次三岛联动开放，除了展览所在的 San GiorgioMaggiore 岛，展览场地还包括了威尼斯国际大学所在的 San Servolo 岛以及亚美尼亚天主教修道院所在的 San Lazzaro 岛。

Qin Feng said that this painting expressed his belief in the compatibility of Eastern and Western civilizations, ancient Renaissance and contemporary Renaissance, and at the same time showed his beautiful yearning for the inclusive environment of future civilization. The exhibition was supported by the highest official institutions in Italy, including the Italian Ministry of Culture and Venice International University. At the same time, this event is also the first time that the three islands have been jointly opened. Apart from San GiorgioMaggiore, where the exhibition is held, the exhibition venues also include San Servolo, where Venice International University is located, and San Lazzaro, where Armenian Catholic Monastery is located.

［背景简介及展览意义］《加纳的婚礼》是委罗内塞为 San Giorgio Maggiore 修道院特别创作的巨幅画作，描绘了圣经中耶稣的第一个神迹（耶稣在婚宴上将水变成了美酒分享给众人）。1797 年拿破仑将原作两刀三块夺至法国，至今一直为卢浮宫镇馆之宝，静静地与蒙娜丽莎隔空对视。此外，San Giorgio Maggiore 修道院是由文艺复兴时期著名建筑师帕拉迪奥设计。因此，秦风此次的展览，不仅仅是对历史的尊重，也是跨时空对文艺复兴时期的代表作表达敬意。此次的个人画展，在艺术家历史上创造了三个“第一”

[Background Introduction and Exhibition Significance] The Wedding in Ghana is a huge painting specially created by Veronese for San Giorgio Maggiore Monastery. It depicts the first miracle of Jesus in the Bible (Jesus turned water into wine and shared it with everyone at the wedding reception). Napoleon took the original work to France in 797, and it has been the treasure of the Louvre Museum ever since, quietly looking at Mona Lisa from a distance. In addition, San Giorgio Maggiore Monastery was designed by palladio, a famous architect in Renaissance. Therefore, this exhibition in Qin Feng not only respects history, but also pays tribute to the masterpieces of the Renaissance across time and space. This solo exhibition has created three firsts in the history of artists.

［第一次与西方“ 文艺复兴”的对话，打造新型“ 文化艺术 “ 新丝绸之路”］700 余年前，马可波罗开辟的丝绸之路将东方文化传播到了西方大陆。500 余年前，欧洲文艺复兴使西方文明开始了多元文明的发展之路，并为当今全球艺术多元性化态奠定了基础。在这 500 年间，西方文明的艺术形态发展了巨大的变化，同时东方文明也经历了数次影响了亚洲乃至西方文明的重大变化。今天，在威尼斯这个马可波罗丝绸之路的起点和欧亚文明与艺术的聚集地，秦风与文艺复兴时代大师委罗内塞（《加纳的婚礼》的作者）进行时空对话。并在修道院中进行现场了创作，并将画作分割成三块，以此形式向《加纳的婚礼》原作的遭遇表达警世。此次画展不仅开启了历史上第一次东西方“ 文艺复兴”的对话，同时也代表了连接东西方文化艺术的“新丝绸之路”扬帆起航。

[The first dialogue with the Western "Renaissance" to create a new "new silk road of culture and art"] More than 700 years ago, the Silk Road opened by Kyle Polo spread the eastern culture to the western continent. More than 500 years ago, the European Renaissance started the development of western civilization with pluralism, and laid the foundation for the pluralism of global art today. During these 500 years, the artistic form of western civilization has developed greatly, and at the same time, the eastern civilization has experienced several major changes that have influenced Asian and even western civilizations. Today, in Venice, the starting point of Kyle's Polo Silk Road and the gathering place of Eurasian civilization and art, Qin Feng had a time-space conversation with Veronese, the Renaissance master (author of Marriage in Ghana). He created it on the spot in the monastery, and pided the painting into three pieces, in this way, he expressed his warning to the experience of the original Wedding in Ghana. This exhibition not only opened the first "Renaissance" dialogue between the East and the West in history, but also represented the setting sail of the "New Silk Road" connecting the culture and art of the East and the West.

［第一次在圣乔治马吉奥莱修道院举办画展］圣乔治马吉奥莱修道院是集文艺复兴建筑、园艺、绘画艺术于一体的代表性场所。它与全球知名的圣马可广场隔岸相对，是威尼斯地标性建筑，也是全世界天主教徒们敬仰的宗教圣地。欧洲久负盛名的文化基金会 Giorgio Cini Foundation，也是本次画展的主办方，就坐落于该岛。此次“迎风 WAITING FOR QIN FENG” 展览，凸显了欧洲文化对于秦风艺术哲学及作品的认可，也彰显了西方文化的博大胸怀。秦风在修道院中以东方水墨的艺术语言表达对神圣殿堂和伟大作品的致意，和对未来艺术发展的祝愿。

[The first exhibition of paintings was held at St. George's Maggiole Monastery] St. George's Maggiole Monastery is a representative place integrating Renaissance architecture, gardening and painting. It is opposite to the world-famous St. Kyle Square, a landmark building in Venice, and a religious shrine admired by Catholics all over the world. Giorgio Cini Foundation, a prestigious cultural foundation in Europe, is also the organizer of this exhibition, which is located on the island. The exhibition "WAITING FOR QIN FENG in the Wind" highlights the recognition of Qin Feng's artistic philosophy and works by European culture, as well as the broad mind of western culture. In Qin Feng Monastery, we express our greetings to the sacred halls and great works, and wish for the future artistic development in the artistic language of oriental ink and wash.

［第一次完美“ 包容性”的艺术表现］在展览现场，LED 屏幕播放古老文字与抽象符号互相演变、融合的视频，在数十分钟内再现数千年的东西方文脉沉淀。同时，配合古典交响乐团的现场演奏，凸显东西方文化的碰撞与交融。同时，此次画作中的符号元素，也是对于意大利著名符号发明者马努蒂乌斯（标点符号的发明者）的致意。除了平面作品，秦风此次个展中还包括了大型青花瓷碗装置作品在三岛构成主题系列遥相呼应。在同一主题中涵盖不同地域、时间、文化元素。表现了秦风作品独特风格的“包容性”艺术理念。

[The first perfect "inclusive" artistic expression] At the exhibition site, the LED screen plays a video of the mutual evolution and integration of ancient characters and abstract symbols, and reproduces thousands of years' deposits of eastern and western cultures in dozens of minutes. At the same time, with the live performance of classical symphony orchestra, it highlights the collision and blending of eastern and western cultures. At the same time, the symbol elements in this painting are also a tribute to the famous Italian symbol inventor Manuti Wus (the inventor of punctuation). Besides graphic works, Qin Feng's solo exhibition also includes large-scale blue-and-white porcelain bowl installation works, which echo each other in the theme series of the three islands. It covers different geographical, temporal and cultural elements in the same theme. It shows the "inclusive" artistic concept of the unique style of Qin Feng's works.
