Mycrocosmos / 绽放
IINNOO Gallery is proud to present You Si’s Mycrocosmos, an exhibition including 24 of You Si’s recent paintings. Mycrocosmos explores the artist’s personal conception of an ever-changing, never-stagnant reality of interconnected organisms, objects, and technology. This exhibition takes a refined look at You Si’s careful interlacing of not only disparate motifs but also the interaction of the smallest and the largest universes. Each work possesses a surprising multitude of themes that emerge within the woven pattern of the image. Reoccurring in many paintings is the representation of reproduction on a physical and a cellular level, which often act as primary layers that slow the reveal of other motifs like biology, new technology, nature, fantasy, and the overloaded experience of living the modern day.
黑白之中画廊很荣幸展出这次游思的’绽放’，这个展览包括了游思以前与最近的24幅画作。绽放探索了艺术家对互联生物，物体和技术不断变化，永不停滞的现实的个人概念。本次展览展现了游思不仅对不同的图案进行了细致的交织，还对最小和最大的宇宙的相互作用进行了细致的探索。每件作品都拥有令人惊讶的众多层次，这些主题出现在图像的编织图案中。在许多绘画中反复出现的是物理和细胞层面的再现，这通常作为主要层面，减缓其他图案的显示，如生物学，新技术，自然，幻想和现代生活的众多体验。

In Making of Memory, 2010, repetitive ink dots swirl, spiral, and descend into one another like vascular systems in a body, cells following invisible paths, or flying lights merging into a busy scene below. Here, biological references mix with a potential future of flying cars and vertiginous heights. The result is a scene of a complex and fractal-like reality under You Si’s microscope.
在2010年“记忆的制造”中，重复的墨点像一个体内的血管系统一样旋转，下降到另一个细胞隐形跟随，或像似飞行的电灯筒融入下面的繁忙场景。在这里，生物参考与飞行汽车和眩晕高度的潜在未来相结合。在游思的显微镜下，呈现了一个复杂的现实场景。

And like the visible patterns of his work, You Si’s influence is a fractalation of the many cultures he has lived in. Making of Memory flows like a Pollock drip painting but each line is planned and developed with great control. The painting has clear influence from the aboriginal Papunya Tula art style that You Si studied while living in Australia. The ink and rice paper media harken back to You Si’s Chinese roots. The artist’s work is an attempt to synthesize a life of interconnected knowledge and thoughts, which culminates in paintings grand in scope but careful of the minutiae. Other works like Morph to a new Solar, 2009 shows the artist’s attention to the similarities between the micro and macro worlds, resulting in a swirling universe of creation shared between the two.
就像他的作品一样，游思的影响力是他所生活的许多文化片段的聚集。”记忆的制作”就像波洛克滴水画一样，但每条线都是在很大的控制下进行规划和发展的。这幅画在澳大利亚居住期间研究的土着帕潘亚·图拉(Papunya Tula)的艺术风格有明显的影响。墨水和宣纸媒体让人回想起游思的中国血统。艺术家的作品是一种综合了相互关联的知识和思想生活的尝试，最终形成了范围广泛而又细致的细节。其他作品如2009的’异域的升腾’ 展示了游思对微观和宏观世界之间相似性的关注，从而产生了两者之间共享的旋转宇宙。

In the eyes of the viewer, the micro/macro dichotomy soon becomes the central concern of his paintings. How can they exist simultaneously while following different laws? What would it look like if we could see them simultaneously? And how does that change our vision of the world?
在观众眼中，微观/宏观二分法很快成为他画作的核心关注点。如何在遵循不同的法律的同时存在？如果我们能同时看到它们会是什么样子？这又如何改变我们对世界的看法？
