叶凌瀚,1985年出生于中国浙江,2009年毕业于中国美术学院,现生活和工作于上海。

叶凌瀚在2016年受纪录片《人类的起源》启发,把人类的祖先 “Lucy” 设定为系列创作的潜在主角,通过不同媒介表达他对于技术、未来主义美学以及艺术史的思考。他的作品明显体现了后网络时代的美学。他用手机截屏大量收集网络中的数据素材,提出了 “屏幕写生” 这一概念,使用数字技术和网络图像进行创作。于是,“LUCY” 系列发展出愈加繁复的面貌,作品中破碎的、扭曲的、炫目的视觉特征回应着数字景观社会。在最新系列 “羿·爱丽丝” 中,叶凌瀚转而大量采集身边的人手机里的信息与图像作为绘画的素材,他运用了阴阳的宇宙观与东方美学,将其融入到对后网络时代生活与社会关系的挖掘。

叶凌瀚近期个展包括:“羿·爱丽丝”,兵库县立美术馆,神户(2024);“从消失到消失”,HdM画廊,巴黎(2022);“LUCY最终回:互联网写生、猜你喜欢、极繁主义”,马刺画廊,北京(2021);“LUCY第三集:一到无穷”,HdM画廊,伦敦(2018);“LUCY第二集:舞蹈·纹身·数据的狂欢”,博而励画廊,北京(2018);“LUCY第一集:Lucy Lucy”,Vanguard画廊,上海(2018)。他参与的重要群展包括:“跨界:可能与回响”,余德耀美术馆,上海(2023);首届北京艺术双年展,北京(2022);2017深港城市\建筑双城双年展,深圳(2017);“第?代”,OCAT上海馆,上海(2014)。

 

Born in 1985 in Zhejiang, China, Ye Linghan graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2009, and currently lives and works in Shanghai.

In 2016, inspired by the documentary “Homo Sapiens”, Ye set the most famous early human ancestor, “Lucy”, as the implicit protagonist of his series, expressing his discussions of technology, futuristic aesthetics, and the history of art through a variety of mediums. His works exhibit distinctly the aesthetics of the post-Internet age. Ye extensively collects materials on the web through screenshots – conceiving the concept of “working from screen” – and uses digital manipulation to create works with these images. LUCY thus adapted a kaleidoscopic presentation: the fragmented, warping, and dazzling visuals respond to the society of spectacle in the digital age. Seven years later in Yi · Alice”, Ye turns his source of information and images to the phones of those around him. Engaging with a yin-yang cosmic philosophy and distinctive Oriental elements, Ye transforms these materials into an exploration of post-Internet societal living and relationships.

Ye’s recent solo exhibitions include “Yi · Alice”, Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, Kobe (2024); “From Disappearance to Disappearance”, HdM Gallery, Paris (2022); “Lucy Finale: Cyber Sketching, Recommended for You, Maximalism”, SPURS Gallery, Beijing (2021); “Lucy Episode 3: Replication”, HdM Gallery, London (2018); “Lucy Episode 2: Dance, Tattoo, Data Carnival”, Boers-Li Gallery, Beijing (2018); “Lucy Episode 1 : Lucy Lucy”, Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai (2018). His works have been included in major group exhibitions, including “Bordercrossing: Possibilities and Interactions”, Yuz Museum, Shanghai (2023); First Beijing Biennial, Beijing (2022); 2017 Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture, Shenzhen (2017); Degeneration, OCT Contemporary Art Terminal, Shanghai (2014).
