The Shadow of Doubt by Li Baoxun

The Shadow of Doubt Li Baoxun Solo Exhibition

疑惑的影子 李宝荀个展

Révélateur des troubles des hommes dans le contexte contemporain, Li Baoxun, déjà reconnu en Chine et sur la scène européenne, traite pour une partie de son travail de la figuration de l’homme moderne, l’homme aux prises avec sa condition au sein d’une société tournée vers le dépassement.

Li Baoxun réussit à évoquer le tragi-comique de l’homme d’affaires, l’homme affairé dépeint avec une certaine compassion. Le businessman, le politique, le scientifique chacun à leur façon présentés comme symbole du pouvoir, évoqués ici comme fragiles, perdus, noyés dans leurs pensées et dans l’incommunicabilité de leur angoisse.

C’est cette angoisse existentielle qui est le sujet de Li Baoxun et qu’il tente dans ses œuvres de saisir et de transmettre afin de proposer au regardant une interrogation de sa propre existence et de sa conscience.

Li Baoxun 李宝荀

An unveiler of the problems of men in the contemporary context, Li Baoxun is already recognized in China and on the European stage. His work partly deals with modern Man’s figuration, and his struggle within an ever-more driven society.

Li Baoxun manages to evoke the tragicomedy of the businessman: there is a certain compassion in these portrayals of a man with very much to occupy himself. The businessman, the politician, the scientist are each presented as symbols of a particular power, yet they are fragile, lost; tangled in their thoughts and in the inability to communicate their distress.

It’s this existential angst that is Li Baoxun’s subject; that his work attempts to capture and to transmit as he invites the spectator to question his own existence and consciousness.

在当代语境下呈现人们的不安，艺 术家李宝荀，已经在国内暂露头角 并且登上欧洲当代艺术舞台。本次 展出的这部分作品中，表现了人们 挣扎在一个快速发展不断超越的现 代社会的内心状态。 李宝荀成功的描绘了悲喜剧的忙碌 职场人，画面带着一种富有同情的 色彩。商人、政治家、科学家，每 个人都是某种权力的表现，在这里 却显得脆弱、迷失，沉浸在他们的 思考以及难以描述的痛苦中。 生存焦虑正是李宝荀作品的主题， 他试着在作品里将其提炼并且传递 给观看者，以使观者在作品前对于 自身的存在与意识做一个审视。
