凯旋画廊荣幸宣布将于2023��?11��?17日至12��?30��?期间，呈现艺术家王亚��?的最新个展��?锦瑟’。本次展览标题取自唐代著名诗人李商隐（约813-858年）所著的七言律诗《锦瑟》，希望借此在展厅内再现艺术家对逝水年华的追忆，以及对老庄哲学思想中艺术最高精神的坚持与探紀�?
王亚��?1974年生于河南，1994年毕业于河南师范大学艺术系。作为中国当代绘画的代表人物，王亚彬以鲜明个人风格广受瞩目，擅长运用西方的绘画语言表达东方的意境。早期王亚彬的绘画语言偏重＂叙事＂，近十年来逐渐转向＂写意＂。他从文学、历史、诗歌、古典及现代艺术中汲取养分，凭借天马行空的想象力和敏锐的内心体验，在传统和当代、东方与西方之间找到平衡，编织着属于自己的梦境��?
此次展览呈现的王亚彬��?2020年至今创作的十余幅绘画作品，如同李商隐的《锦瑟》诗句，华美绚丽，含蓄深沉。画中物象高度提炼简括，呈现出半抽象的状态，并在猛扫狂泼中，让所有物象都被油彩层层覆盖，恍若水中游鱼，在动荡的色层中沉浮隐显。同时精妙地控制色泽和质地，让画面出现某种中国古代壁画的肌理和西方绘画的视觉张力，在整体上强化了画面的寓言和象征意味��?
