For the solo show “Breathing“

Our bodies are not something we can truly control.
They belong to the realm of nature, and perhaps the very idea that we own them is nothing more than a simple assumption.
If this is true, then how can we justify calling our emotions, sensations, memories, and perceptions my own?
Even though something is certainly moving within the body, it can never be seen directly. This invisibility feels much like a ghost.
We understand most of our physical selves through images, such as fragments of memory, photographs, or pictures on a screen. Although these are distinct from our actual experiences, they eventually take on the same sense of reality and begin to shape who I am.
If the body is not a firm and solid center but is instead built from layers of images, then what we call reality must also rest on an unstable foundation.
The images I choose are those where this instability is laid bare. It feels as if reality and fiction have traded places, or as if objects that should be familiar to everyone have transformed into something only I can touch.
Guided by this sensation, I take images I have photographed, those I found on the internet, and those generated by AI, and I translate them all into paintings without distinction. The resulting works blur their own origins and exist at the intersection of experience and fiction, or reality and artificial generation.
The body is no longer a fixed center. Instead, it becomes a point where countless images meet and interfere with one another. To paint is an attempt to temporarily redraw the outlines of my own existence within that uncontrollable state of flux.

私たちの身体は思い通りにならない。
私たちの身体は自然の側に属しており、所有していると考えること自体がひとつの仮定にすぎないのかもしれない。
そうであるならば、感情や感覚、記憶、知覚——それらを「私のもの」と呼ぶことは、どこまで正当化できるのだろうか。
身体の内側で確かに何かが動いているにもかかわらず、それを直接見ることはできない。その不可視性は幽霊に似ていると思う。
私たちは身体のほとんどを像を通して把握している。記憶の断片、写真、スクリーンに映るイメージ。それらは現実の経験とは区別されながらも、やがて同じ実在性を帯び、私という存在を構成していく。
身体がひとつの確固たる中心ではなく、像の重なりのなかで構成されているのだとすれば、私たちが「現実」と呼んでいるものもまた、不安定な基盤の上にあるのではないだろうか。
私が選び出す画像は、その不安定さが露わになってしまっているものである。それはあたかも現実と虚構が入れ替わってしまっているようだと感じる。また、誰もが知っているいるはずの事物が、私にしか触れられないものへと変質してしまっているようにも感じられる。
その感覚を手がかりに、私自身が撮影した画像、インターネット上で集めた画像、そしてAIによって生成された画像を区別なく絵画へと置き換える。こうして生まれた絵画は出自を曖昧にし、経験と虚構、現実と生成のあいだで交差する。
身体はもはや確固たる中心ではなく、無数の像が干渉し合う結節点へと変容する。描くという行為は、その統制のきかない揺らぎの中で、私という輪郭を仮に引き直す試みである。

Easternization Movement: Radiance Peak

2025. 12

I’m currently participating in a group exhibition at Hunsand Space in Hangzhou.
It seems to be an exhibition with a very interesting theme, so if you’re in the area, be sure to check it out.

Easternization Movement: Radiance Peak

Artist: Gu Enzheng, Hidetaka Suzuki, Liu chuan, Liuzhan, Mo Nijian, Qiu shijie, Shen Liang, Takakono, Yang Yang, Yan Zhou, Zhang Donghui, zhou Yilun

Duration: December 13, 2025 – January 12, 2026

Opening: 4:00 PM, Saturday, December 13, 2025

Address: Bus Stop of Fu Ji Wan, Chang Dai Cun, Zhuan Tang, Xihu District, Hangzhou

Radiance Peak, situated in the Kunlun Mountains, is portrayed as the sacred headquarters of the Ming Cult in Jin Yong’s fiction. This Ming Cult is a literary creation by Jin Yong, synthesizing elements from Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism.

Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, together with Nestorian Christianity, are historically known as the “Three Foreign Religions” of medieval China. They flourished during the Sui and Tang dynasties before being suppressed and driven underground. In 1357 (late Yuan Dynasty), representatives of Han Chinese Chan Buddhism (from Shaolin) and Daoism (from Wudang) gathered at the Peak of Radiance. Conflict erupted with the remaining members of the Ming Cult, which eventually gave way to reconciliation. Deities from diverse origins and martial artists of extraordinary skills united under the banner of nationalism (to resist the Yuan), forming a common front. Their chants evolved from “Burn my wounded body, blazing flames” to “Expel the Tatar invaders, restore the Central Plains (Zhonghua).”

In reality, from the late Han to the end of the Qing, and from the Republican era to the War of Resistance, such phenomena have recurred throughout China’s history. Radiance Peak is but one small fragment. Beyond our sight, the intertwined rivers of mentalities, society, and politics have surged forward, flowing incessantly.

This exhibition, Radiance Peak, brings together recent works by friends from the Easternization Movement. Among them are wounded gods of war, a veiled Jesus, a disrobed Bodhisattva, and decapitated spirits. In the visible narrative of history, they reside beyond, receiving worship and incense. Yet in an inverted mirror, whenever mountains crumble and seas boil, they fall like rain, shattering with audible cracks, manifesting within generations of turbulent flesh or being performed by generations of refined intellects. They struggle amidst blood and wild flames.

展览:光明顶

展览时间:2025年12月13日 -2026年1月12日

开幕时间:2025年12月13日  周六 16:00

地址:杭州市西湖区转塘街道长埭村孵鸡湾公交站

光明顶,位于昆仑山,是所谓明教总坛所在。而这个明教,是金庸融合了摩尼教和拜火教创制而成。

拜火教和摩尼教,与基督教聂斯托里派,并称中国中古三夷教,隋唐兴盛,之后转为地下。1357年(元末),汉地禅宗(少林)、道教(武当)等代表同聚光明顶,与明教留守人员产生争斗,最终,他们和解:这些来自五湖四海的神祇,各怀异能的江湖人士,在民族主义大旗(抗元)之下,成立了统一战线。他们的歌谣,从“焚我残躯,熊熊烈火”,转而成为“驱除鞑虏,恢复中华”。

实际上,我国从汉末到清末,从民国到抗战,这样的事情一直在发生。光明顶只是一个小小切片,在我们看不到的地方,心灵史、社会史、政治史交织成河,久久奔腾。

此次「光明顶」由古务运动朋友们近期的作品组成,其中,有受伤的战神,蒙面的耶稣,宽衣的菩萨,断头的精怪……在可见的历史中,祂们身在彼岸享受香火,而在倒转的镜像中,每当山崩海沸,祂们堕落如雨,崩裂有声,显灵于一代代滚滚肉身,或被一代代精致的头脑所扮演。祂们挣扎在鲜血与野火之中。

とても興味深いテーマの展覧会なので、もしお近くにおられる際にはぜひご覧ください。
