Preface

斑马、草莓、飞蛾、肝、青蛙、观音,毛毛的作品中时常出现一些奇特怪诞而又朴实平凡的 元素,构筑出童话般色彩绚烂的奇幻世界——当我们细看画里的故事,会发现这个童话并不是看起来那么美好,阳光下并不都是乐园。一个爱做梦的女人诉说着平淡 的话语,却在不经意间让人惊起冷颤。她的作品起因都是一些生活中很微小的际遇,可能是一本书、一句话、一首歌——比如女间谍约瑟芬·贝克的案例则让她得出 “嘴太松,船会沉”的结论。 此次在星空间举办的个展,将是艺术家对近三年创作经历的一次阶段性梳理和呈现——它们都是独一无二的绝版回忆。

Zebras, strawberries, moths, livers, frogs, the buddha of mercy Guanyin, and all manner of strange and familiar elements are always appearing in Mao Mao's works, constructing a splendid world of fantasy. When we examine the stories in her paintings, we learn that fairy tales aren't as innocent as we expected, and not everything growing under the sun is a pleasant garden. A daydreaming girl is speaking plainly and has inadvertently aroused a chill. Her works are inspired by ordinary life encounters, perhaps a book she read, something she heard, a song––like the story Josephine Baker's clandestine under cover persona. This exhibition in Star Gallery covers her work over the previous three years––each canvas a unique, fading fast memory
