5+5 on Ouhua News

The newspaper Ohua News had recently made a commentary about the exhibition 5+5 at Setba Foundation.

Sentence by Yang Shun

In her drawings Yang Shun creates relations between two layers of papers, covering the watercolour on the first layer by a lineal drawing traced on japanese translucent paper.

Yang Shun had found those crinkled mood and language between papers (parchment paper, handmade paper, and watercolor paper). Her work expands, delimits, floats, in muted silence, temperamental, like the dispersing smoke, or the fluid water.

Real Ilusion by Qiu Hong

About her series Real Ilusion Qiu Hong explains that she draws with a diluted ink for the background to trace later the forms directly with vanadium. When the inks began to dry she add the lines and final details.

Qiu Hong’s world of ink painting seems tender, concise lines and rich colors, brilliantly highlights the beauty of the rice paper, like the Song dynasty verses, short lyrics, coated in dreamy papers, soaked with meaning.

Shadow by He Guirui

In her series Shadow He Guirui works with cutter on thin waxed paper, making intricate organic designs. The shadow becomes an element of the work when it is framed at some distance from the background, adding depth to the compositions.

He Guirui paints meditatively to slate knives on paper, explores within the darkness of the self, breathes deeply in the shadow of the world.

Friend by Chen Zijun

Chen Zijun uses mixed media for her works: acrilic paints, charcoal and toner on paper.
In her own words, she search for portraits in the pigment marks while they flow freely on the paper surface.

For Chen Zijun, these warm color tone acrylic is melting one’s material desire and the body, makes one associate it with the intimacy of childhood, the warmth and distance between people. On a thin paper, everything was transformed.

Trace & Phenomenon by Hou Shanhu

Hou Shanhu uses the traditional chinese black ink on paper in two different layers of intensity for her series Trace and Phenomen.


Hou Shanhu’s ink language tends to be leisurely and meditative. The chaos and hatched beauty expressed through asexual diction in a wide area between rubbing and ink painting, seems to both mesmerizing and controlling of its tension.

5+5 opening at Setba by Yang Shun

杨舜在SETBA首展开幕式上的发言

各位晚安! 我作为唯一一个出席开幕式的中国艺术家，代表所有的中国参展艺术家们向大家表示最诚挚的问候和感谢！非常感谢Setba基金会提供了这么一个美好的平台，促成了这个美好的项目。也非常感谢所有艺术家们的努力和合作，如果没有足够的爱和理解，这个展览不可能呈现出今天的面貌。这个项目从开始策划到现在整整经历的一年的时间，其间大家都付出了许多辛劳。纸，和女性，存在着一种天然的缘分，而喜欢纸这个媒介的女性艺术家，都有一颗敏感细腻而又低调谦卑的心，在这个共同的基础上，所有的沟通充满默契，没有语言的障碍，没有时空的阻隔，中西两国的多数艺术家们素未谋面，却可以通过作品互相了解，彼此欣赏，建立深厚的友谊。虽然中国的另外四位艺术家未能亲自出席今天的开幕式，但通过这些作品，我们仿佛可以与她们一同坐席，彼此敞开心扉的交流，希望大家能享受这些作品，并从这些细腻直率的笔触中阅读到她们真实的生活和丰富的精神世界，十分感谢！

Words of Yang Shun at Setba 5+5 exhibition opening

Good evening! and I as the only Chinese artists attended the opening ceremony, on behalf of all the participating artists have to express my most sincere greetings and thanks to everyone! Very thanked the Setba Foundation for providing such a wonderful platform contributed to this wonderful project. Also very grateful to all the efforts and cooperation of the artists, and if without enough love and understanding, this exhibition would not be showing today. This project has been planned since the beginning of last year, during this year, we all had spent a lot of effort. 

There is a natural fate between paper, and women, I think the artists who like to work with paper medium, all have a sensitive, delicate and humble heart. Base on this common character, makes all the communication full of tacit, no language obstacles, no distance of time and space, although the majority of Chinese artists and Spanish artists have never met, they can understand and appreciate each other through their works, and build a strong friendship. Although the four artists are not able to attend today's opening , but through these works, as if they are here sitting with us, and opening their hearts to us, I hope you will enjoy these works, and from these delicate and forthright strokes could read their real life and rich spiritual world, thank you very much!

Jenga by Rosa Solano

                                  

                                    Jenga series: wood, thread and paper collage on cardboard

Rosa Solano works have textured and presence materials, in the catalan informalism tendency.

Her octagonal structures reflect passing times, an architectural manifesto of great reliving power, certainly romantic.

Alex Mitrani, 2012

Variation by Maribel Mas

Pieces in disarray that resemble to organic forms come together by random on the paper, pressed lightly to a corner, or attracted down by gravity.
 

Fallen flowers
pursues the storm

Fujiwara Teika, 1162-1241

The gesture distinguish Maribel Mas. Sometimes a red soft trace, a bloods echo. Decision and impetus other times. Here are reunited beauty and pain. Maribel Mas is a traditional lithography master, who distillates from the stones a ineffable subtleness.

Oracle by Matilde Vela

Oracle series: stone lithographies

They are answers that are given to us, but we notice them late.
That we don´t understand in their own measurement of depth, of range.

Matilde Vela, 2013

There is a veiling and desveiling process on Matilde Vela. Her deliberated white limitation reminds us the minimalist Rober Ryman, not in the sense of following an analitic method instead a searching of the hue, the meaning of transparency: thats the metaphoric and poetic role of her titles.

Alex Mitrani, 2012

Toward Harmony by Matilde Vela

This etching series untitled Toward Harmony, conceived long time ago, had been resting.

Due coincidences does not exist, just in this moment that I am feeling in a similar mood, I have the opportunity of presenting these works in a case.

The square, the earth, and sometimes a tree, are symbols that I am used to appropriate in order to express my feelings.

Matilde Vela, 2013

A flor de pell de Núria Rossell

Pintura acrílica sobre paper fet a mà de 30 x 30 cm i pedra gravada. Les tonalitats de la pedra són naturals, sense vernissos ni cap mena de tractament pictòric.

La duresa es transforma en fragilitat i la fragilitat, en duresa. Res no podria existir sense el seu contrari, l’un forma l’altre, s’alimenten, es generen, es creen, es transformen, es necessiten, un acciona i l’altre reacciona. Es tracta d’un dinamisme continuat de les forces de la natura, que han d’estar en un equilibri constant. Aquesta interacció entre forces genera nova vida.

La creació artística, l’engendrament d’un nou ésser, la força de la dona… Tots aquests propòsits són a A flor de pell, una sèrie d’obres sobre paper amb un element singular, els còdols, sobre els quals duresa i fragilitat es complementen i transformen la pedra en memòria viva.

La mar despulla de mots
la sorra on escric els primers versos.
Ara em retorna els còdols
perquè hi gravi les meves memòries.

Hou Shanhu 候珊瑚

Her parents are both internationally renowned artists and professors from the Central Art Academy in China. Influenced by her parents, Shan hu has shown a strong talent and interest in painting from childhood.

In 1983, Shan Hu graduated with a BFA degree from the PLA Academy of Art in Beijing. Her art works have been selected by many national and regional art exhibitions and have won several awards. Some of her oil paintings were permanently collected by China’s National Museum in Beijing.

In 1995, Shan Hu came to New York where she spent two years emerging into the center of the art world. Her two-year study was fruitful, not only because she produced lots of new paintings, but she also absorbed new concepts and ideas that contributed to her contemporary approach.

In 1997 she moved to Orlando, Florida where she currently resides. The move significantly impacted Shan Hu’s painting style, especially by profound studies on both eastern and western culture. After 2005, Shan Hu positioned a main focus on abstract paintings rather than the realistic style from her earlier days. Since then, she has started her new journey within a majestic abstract world.
