AN ART SPACE Art and artists Exhibitions and events Artist interview Device Art Michael Downs Michael Downs'S BIOGRAPHY 迈克尔·唐斯 ｜Michael Downs 出生于英国斯基普顿 1972-1976 于英国Bath艺术学院获得学士学位 1992-1994 于悉尼UNSW美术学院获得一等硕士学位 现工作生活于柏林和北京 Michael Downs 'Landscape' is our environment ，2017 ，，148 x 158 cm © 'Landscape' is our environment, our connection to the world and the setting of our lives. We never see it as a separate 'other,' outside ourselves and comfortably detached from our being. It is all around us; it is above and beneath us, and our movements through it are governed by our awareness of both the comforts and dangers it contains. 2018，190x120x130 cm ， © Accordingly, I do not want to keep my responses to landscape trapped in a rectangle on a flat plane of the canvas. My artworks burst outwards across the wall. They are both image and object and, simultaneously they are painting and sculpture. They are totally embodied. Artist Statement ● Michael Downs 艺术家自述 “景观”是我们生活的环境，与世界的关联，也是我们所生存的既定场景。我们从来不会把“景观”视为一个出离于自身之外所自然独立的'其他'。它包围着我们，在存在之上与之下，对它所包含的舒适与危险的意识，支配着我们在其中的种种行为。 我不想将对'景观'的应答置于画布平面的矩形之中。我的作品穿过墙壁向外迸发，它们既是图像也是物体，同时地，既是绘画也是雕塑，它们是一种完全的呈现体。由我的肢体所创造，它们作用于你的身体，观众与他的躯体毫不避讳地引发内在的触觉。回想起在孩童时代，你是如何感受自己穿越世界表面的方式；将这种独特的感觉与特定的表面所合二为一。它们涉及古地质时期的陆地与所处现实的超级城市化。经常从天空中的一个点出发，这些作品并没有提供稳定的视角，而是不断地旋转起伏。它们暗示了汉字和中国水墨与水彩，同时蕴含了大型雕刻木质结构的质感。除了用建筑物所定型的图像之外，中国的城市并行着霓虹灯与硫光灯的色彩还有这空气中隐约可触的无形颗粒。正是这种复杂性， 我希望可蕴杂在艺术创作之中。这些作品的混合性令人惊讶，逆向的荧光涂料会产生阴影，从而将画面颜色带到画廊的墙上，就像城市环境本身一样，他们叫嚷着注视，并面对面地走向你。 2018 Michael Downs Mixed media on wood and canvas 混合材料，木材、帆布 2013-2018 © Michael Downs CHAOYANG SUNSET，朝阳日落 2017，Mixed Media on Linen on Wood 混合材料、木材和帆布，201 x 227cm © Michael Downs Stretched China2 2014，mixed media on wood and canvas 混合材料、木材和帆布，242× 121cm © Michael Downs Small ChinaTriptych，小型中国三部曲 2017，mixed media on wood and canvas 混合材料、木材和帆布，212 ×130cm © Michael Downs Small China Landscape- Springtime，小中国景观 - 春天 2016，mixed media on wood and canvas 混合材料、木材和帆布，113× 88cm

Accordingly, I do not want to keep my responses to landscape trapped in a rectangle on a flat plane of the canvas. My artworks burst outwards across the wall. They are both image and object and, simultaneously they are painting and sculpture. They are totally embodied. Made by my body, they address the body of you, the viewer and their physicality unashamedly trigger the haptic sense within you, recalling how, as a child, you felt your way across the surfaces of the world, pairing this distinct feeling with that distinct surface. They have references to the ancient geology of the land and the hyper-urbanization of contemporary times. Often taking a viewpoint from the sky, they offer no stable perspective but swirl and seethe.They allude to Chinese characters and ink and watercolor painting whilst having the weight and mass of carved wooden structures. The Chinese city has, beyond the architecture that defines its image, parallel phenomena of neon and sulfurous light and the tangible-intangible of its air. It is this complexity that I wish to involve myself with in making art. Their hybridity is made more startling by the fluorescent paint on the reverse which causes shadows which carry the color of the painting onto the gallery wall. Like the urban environment itself, they clamor to be addressed and come to meet you face to face.
