Preface

"可以画廊合肥空间欣然宣布,将于8月15日举办崔志鹏个展「游无穷」。这是艺术家与可以画廊的首次个展合作,将呈现其近一年多以来创作的二十件(组)新作。展览试图在现实的坚固边界处,开辟一条通向内在自由的精神路径。展期将持续至10月12日。

当现实被既定的认知框架所覆盖,人与世界之间的感应关系随之陷入阻滞。身份、效率与秩序操控着日常生活,观看逐渐依赖于知识、判断与惯性,身体则习惯于回应那些早已被预设的方向。那些无法被准确归类的情绪、直觉与感受,反而越来越难以进入我们的知觉系统。崔志鹏的创作围绕着当代人的感知困境展开。他试图通过绘画恢复人与自然之间的感应,使身体乃至心灵回到一种开放而自由的状态,并在与万物的相互映照之中,重新理解生命自身。

“游无穷”取自《庄子·逍遥游》。“乘天地之正,而御六气之辩,以游无穷”,其中的“游”,指向顺应天地节律,与万物相感,与变化共行的过程。庄子所说的“自然”,不仅涉及天地运行的秩序,更关乎生命感知的鲜活性。当存在摆脱对于固定经验的依附,人便能够重新激活与真实的连结。这一思想并未在崔志鹏的创作中停留于图像层面的援引,而是贯穿于他持续展开的绘画实践内部。 崔志鹏始终保持一种顺应自然的创作态度,这首先显现于其对情绪的处理方式上。情绪随着时间慢慢沉淀,最终形成一种被他称为“润化”的精神质地。“润化”意味着生命重新趋近自身的内在节律,情绪得以安放,身体恢复平衡,存在趋于澄明,回归到真我的自然境界。人物由此成为艺术家绘画中最重要的精神载体,在崔志鹏的想象中,真实的人类形象栖居于人性与神性的交界,在凝止的静默中回应着人与空间之间的根本联系。

在画面层面,崔志鹏笔下反复出现飞行与悬浮,人物暂时摆脱了重力与现实规则的双重束缚,在混沌而广阔的空间中自由游弋,空间不再服从固定尺度,时间亦脱离线性推进,人物与环境彼此映照,进入更为自由而松弛的状态。这些拥有“超能力”的人物未落入英雄叙事或幻想世界的剧本中,他们才更像是从规训中短暂逸出的真实普通人。

混沌之中,天地之间,生命顺应自然流转,不受外在所拘。“游无穷”所指向的,也正是崔志鹏绘画所信靠的归处。

Keyi Gallery Hefei Space is pleased to announce the opening of Cui Zhipeng’s solo exhibition Wander Beyond Limits on August 15. This exhibition marks the artist’s first solo exhibition with Keyi Gallery, presenting twenty new works (sets) created over the past few years. Through this exhibition, Cui seeks to open a path toward inner freedom at the edge of the reality. It will remain on view until October 12.

When reality becomes increasingly covered by fixed systems of perception, the connection between human beings and the world gradually becomes obstructed. Identity, efficiency, and order continue to shape everyday existence; our ways of seeing become reliant on knowledge, judgment, and habit, while the body grows accustomed to responding to predetermined directions. Emotions, intuitions, and sensations that resist clear classification become increasingly difficult to enter the field of perception. Cui Zhipeng’s practice unfolds around this contemporary crisis of perception. Through painting, he attempts to restore the subtle resonance between human beings and nature, allowing the body and the spirit to return to a state of openness and freedom, and to rediscover the meaning of life through an ongoing dialogue with all forms of existence.

The title Wander Beyond Limits derives from the ancient Chinese literature Xiaoyaoyou (“Free and Easy Wandering”), a chapter from Zhuangzi: “Riding upon the correctness of Heaven and Earth, navigating the transformations of the six energies, one wanders beyond limits.” Here, “wandering” refers to a way of existing that follows the rhythms of Heaven and Earth, resonates with all things, and moves alongside constant transformation. The “natural” state described by Zhuangzi concerns not only the order of the universe, but also the vitality of human perception. When existence is released from its attachment to fixed experiences, one can reactivate a genuine connection with the world. This philosophy does not merely appear as a conceptual reference within Cui’s imagery, but rather, it permeates the foundation of his continuous painting practice.

Cui Zhipeng has consistently maintained a creative approach rooted in alignment with nature, which is first reflected in his understanding and treatment of emotion. Through the passage of time, emotions gradually settle and transform into what the artist describes as a state of “nourished refinement” (runhua). This process suggests a return of life toward its own inner rhythm: emotions find their place, the body regains balance, and existence moves toward clarity, returning to a more authentic and natural state of being. Figures therefore become the primary spiritual carriers within Cui’s paintings. In his imagination, the human figure inhabits the threshold between humanity and divinity, responding through stillness and silence to the fundamental relationship between the individual and space.

Within the paintings, ""flight"" and ""suspension"" repeatedly emerge as recurring motifs. The figures temporarily escape the dual constraints of gravity and the rules of reality, freely moving through vast and ambiguous spaces. Space no longer follows fixed measurements, and time is released from linear progression. Figures and their surroundings reflect one another, entering a state of greater freedom and ease. These figures endowed with “supernatural abilities” do not belong to heroic narratives or fictional worlds; instead, they resemble ordinary people who have momentarily stepped away from systems of discipline and limitation.

Amidst chaos, between Heaven and Earth, life follows the movement of nature, free from external restraints. The realm of Wander Beyond Limits ultimately points toward the destination that Cui Zhipeng’s painting has always pursued: a state of existence that moves with nature and returns to inner freedom."
