1969 Born in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China
1991 Graduated from Henan University, Department of Fine Arts
Currently lives and works in Guangzhou.

Zhu Bing’s work does not aim at narration, rather it focuses on and captures moments that become self-sufficient, absolute. They originate from fugitive impressions, inner feelings (a sort of existential malaise he knows so well that they have become good friends), strongly subjective and unusual perceptions of life and the world. They uncover a complex, sophisticated interiority. Taking advantage of great skill in using the brush, which digs voluptuously into the full range of the painting’s language, he generates images that may be disquieting. However, in their apparent immediacy (in actual fact they have been thought and worked over many times), they embody subtle sensations, metaphorically referring to displacements rooted in a disenchanted vision of life. The refined, unusual and extremely rich choice of colors and the very unique vision of the artist go together to create images of original poetic expression. There may be melancholia, nostalgia, restlessness, sadness, even despair because these are the very feelings that inspire poetry. Feelings that, originating from the depth of the soul, accompany us gently during this ‘terrestrial transit’, thus enabling us to discover and savor exquisite nuances that no fanfare, no bandstand, no flaunted optimism would be able to even suggest.

Zhu Bing: Blurred

《朱兵绘画集》共7册,由莫妮卡·德玛黛 (Monica Dematté) 主编,布鲁诺 莫妮卡 德玛黛艺术基金 (Bruno and Monica Dematté Art Projects) 赞助,毛乐乐 (Emanuele Lamedica) 担纲设计,全册文本使用中意英三语对照发表,并分别以《模糊》、《人物》、《无人》、《有故事》、《密林》、《回忆》、《是我》为主题,呈现了朱兵从2014年至今百余件精彩创作。
画册的首册《模糊》以景为线索,这也是朱兵长久以来一直围绕创作的主题,但艺术家的目的不是为了叙事,正如他在首页的自述:“画中出现的偶然因素使我茫然,它们暗示了众多方向,而我只能选择一个”。即艺术家在以极为主观的情感方式捕捉并表达那些自洽的绝对时刻。
《人物》以一系列肖像绘画展现了艺术家洞察并刻画本我在某种维度的映像,在这其中有众多的角色和状态,然而其所携带的指向性因素却是艺术家有意去规避的。一张张脸谱占据整张画面,他选择以稀薄流动的绘画方式拉远这种凝视,使人物仅成为稍纵即逝的那一瞬。
《无人》更强调现实与想象冲撞的困惑被艺术的召感所释放,绘画的秩序在日复一日的生活中出现又消失,循环往复着。
《有故事》充满了艺术家成长背景的景象,勘测、考古、矿工……不禁让人联想到他与河南故土的连结,这也是极具地域与时代性的一册。
接下来的《密林》则是在艺术家从河南搬迁至广东后的阶段所作,南方植被的绿意此时开始充盈在沙土色的画布上,树木变成了朱兵绘画中的另一种氛围,其中包含了一幅创作长达五年之久的《密林20》。
从密林到废园,从生长到衰败,《回忆》中树木的意象又随着绘画秩序的消失开始转变,伴随着艺术家对旧事的回溯形成一种痕迹。
最终册《是我》包含了由莫妮卡·德玛黛 (Monica Dematté) 撰写的评论文章《怀念未来》和《漫漫长路》,在解读作品之外更以好友身份记录了朱兵的创作与生活历程。
