艺术与时尚的共鸣，西方与东方的合奏
比时尚更前卫，比艺术更独创

贝尔纳·布菲 Bernard Buffet
被誉为“毕加索接班人”的贝尔纳·布菲是法国最伟大的当代画家之一。与毕加索一样，布菲从年少时就展现出了惊人的绘画才能。 在1947年，年仅19岁的贝尔纳·布菲举办了人生第一个展览，作品在此期间全部售光。而曾经错过19世纪大批印象派作品的法国政府和博物馆也一改观望状态，对于这位奇才颇为重视和青睐。

他的绘画风格大约于二战结束后形成。当时的中青年作家与画家的笔下都流露出了苦闷、抑郁、悲愤及无出路的情绪。这些无言的哀愁与暴力被封印在嘲讽的文字中与桀骜的笔触下。布菲选择用充满棱角的利落线条勾勒出了他画面中的那个独有的扁平世界。他笔下的人物常常是消瘦而细长的。静物与风景也带有一种特殊的颓废与孤独感。在战后抽象画泛滥的潮流中，这位仍执著于具象绘画的天才艺术家以其特有的魅力感染着无数世人的双眼与心灵。

值得一提的是，在当下贝尔纳·布菲的大部分作品都被其忠实而狂热的拥戴者所收藏。而佳士得拍卖行每年也仅以一幅的稀有数量对其作品进行拍卖。他独树一帜的艺术风格在如今依旧受到许多人的喜爱。

当然除了对西方艺术大师的崇敬外，JOYCE与Je更关注时下的艺术发展走向。李继开与罗威这两位70后青年艺术家就是当下较为突出的佼佼者。

人类的想象一直是通过艺术来加以表现的。于李继开而言，他将自己的情绪与思考化作一个小男孩，在他的画布上跳跃走动。
正如作家苏童所言：“这个男孩从不呆在他应该呆的地方。不在教室里，不在小床上…… 没有大人陪伴，更没有小女孩陪伴。他在积木上，他在废墟上……” 而画家自己也坦诚地说过，外在世界的影响是无法回避的，正是这样的时代造就了这样的你。[ 引用自李继开访谈]站在李继开的小男孩面前，我们更像是在阅读这一幅幅画作。而画家也经常通过写诗的方式将自己引入绘画的“进行”状态。
通过水性的丙烯颜料，李继开作品中的诗性与感性展现的淋漓尽致。而本次展览中所展出的《土豆》则是2014年，李继开在荷兰阿姆斯特尔芬“李继开个展”上的重要作品。

罗威则常将自己的焦点对准于渺小又脆弱的事物——比如蚊子的幼虫：孑孓，比如蝴蝶，比如各类草本。
罗威的蝴蝶系列和草本系列，呈现的都是在一幅又一幅的画布上，孵化、成长、羽化……的生命各态。他画笔下的生命力量就像泰戈尔写的诗句一般，“使生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。”

而我们经常也能从罗威的作品中发现涂抹、刮擦、覆盖的痕迹。厚重的颜料形成了一种
独有的视觉“混乱性”，而艺术家将其称作为“视觉酶”。混乱所制造的“化学反应”其实传递着一种含有个人特质的密码，并在看似无序中建立一种独特的内在秩序。[1引用自李继开采访

JOYCE X Je | A Group Exhibition of
Bernard Buffet, Li Jikai And Luo Wei

JOYCE, the Asia’s fashion pioneer, will collaborate with Je Fine Art Gallery to present a project called “RHAPSODY” featuring both fashion and art at JOYCE store in Plaza 66 Shanghai from Oct 21 to Nov 27 this year. JOYCE’s pursuit of tastes and styles is not limited to fashion; with a profound passion in exploring of art world, JOYCE Gallery was established in French Royal Palace Garden in late 90’s to exhibit creations of international top artists and photographers in particular; the mission to discover the art and creativity continues in all JOYCE stores across Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai today. The exhibition by JOYCE and Je Fine Art Gallery will showcase various art pieces from French artist - Bernard Buffet, and two Chinese contemporary artists - Li Jikai and Luo Wei. The project also features an in-depth look at JOYCE’s creative fashion vision and how it corresponds to the world of art.

A  Resonance Created by  Art and Fashion, A Symphony of the West and the East.
More Fashionable than Fashion, More Artistic than Art.

Honored as “the successor of Picasso”, Bernard Buffet was one of the French contemporary superb painters. Like Picasso, Buffetshowed his talent as early as his childhood. In 1947, at the age of only 19, Buffet held his first exhibitionand all exhibited paintings were sold. Since then, instead of just observing, the French government and considerable museums started paying attention to him.

His painting style was formed around the period after WWII. Feelings like depression, desperation, upset, grief and indignation appeared frequently in works of middle-aged and young writers and painters. Such muted sorrow and violence were hidden in those sarcastic words and untamed brushes. As one of them, Buffet sketched his unique flat world with angular but fluid lines. His painted figures are often thin and slender. His still lifes and landscapes also bear a special sense of decadence and solitude. Even In the tide of abstract painting after WWII, the talented artist still insisted on painting figuratively and his charming works had moved a great many viewers

Interestingly, most paintings of Buffet are collected privately by his faithful supporters, and hence in the market scene even Christie's can only present one of his paintings each year for auction. Nowadays, his distinct art style are still liked by many people.

Besides Western artists, of course, JOYCE and Je also pay attention to the development of art of our domestic artists. Li Jikai and Luo Wei, two young Chinese artists born in 1970s, stand out particularly.

The imagination of human beings has always been expressed in art. For Li Jikai, he transforms his emotion and thoughts into the image of a little boy, who appears in his paintings from time to time.

As the famous Chinese contemporary writer Su Tong once said, “The boy stays in places where he shouldn’t have been. He’s not in the classroom, not in his bed…not with his parents or a girl…However, he’s on building blocks, amid the ruins…” The artist spoke sincerely once, “we can’t escape the influence of outside world because that’s what makes who we are in this day and this age”.[ From Li jikai's interview] Standing before the little boy in Li Jikai’s paintings, the viewers seem to be reading various stories. The painter also uses poetry-writing tobring himself into the state of “ contemplation” for art creations.

Through water-based acrylic, the poetic features and sensibilities in Li Jikai’s paintings are fully represented. In 2014, the painting titled Potato, one of his most important artworks, was exhibited in “Lijikai’s Solo Exhibition” in Amstelveen, Netherlands.

Artist Luo Wei often turns his lens to minute life cycles, such as the larvae of mosquitos, butterflies, and plants.
His butterflies and plants sometimes shown in the process of hatching, sometimes growing, and sometimes metamorphosing…The forms of life painted by Luo Wei have the poetic qualities of Tagore’s lines 'Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.’

        We can often find performative acts of paintings shown in Luo Wei’s different rendering of paints – acts like spreading, scraping and re-covering. The thick pigment creates a unique sense of visual “disorder,”  and the artist refers it as “a visual enzyme.” The “chemical reactions” initiated by the enzymes are encoded by the artist, moving toward an order in a seemingly disorder. [ From POWER·Luo Wei]

In the space where art and fashion coexist, the symphony of these three great international artists are about lead you into wild fantasies.
