宁浩翔个人项目《平平畫像館》将于2024年5月25日下午4点在大点空间开幕，持续至7月7日。

艺术家在展厅内布置了一个具有年代感的画像馆场景，并将自己代入到作为经营者的老板和画像师的角色，在项目期间，为客人提供肖像绘画的订制服务。从2012年至今，宁浩翔进行肖像系列的绘画实践，已有十二年。长期以来，凭借对人面部的细微观察，结合对绘画的理解，他选择了各种身份的描摹对象，其中有身边的朋友、过去的同学、老家的亲戚、未曾谋面的网友和萍水相逢的过客，甚至是从网上直接“拿来”的各色名人（政客、明星、犯罪分子等等）。绘画专业出身，基本功扎实的他，似乎并不追求画得多“好”，而是在对不同人物肖像的描绘过程中，与已知的绘画经验进行博弈，用一种具有东方意蕴的审美，在形驰和神似之间探寻着微妙的平衡，同时，也似乎抵达了每一个人物潜在的精神向度。

从历史角度来看，肖像画作为一种传统，一直在世界范围内随着社会的阶段性发展而演进，然而身处图像泛滥的今天，肖像画对于我们还具有什么样的意义？也许正是艺术家所试图探讨的问题。

请问，您需要一幅属于自己的肖像画么？

Ning Haoxiang's personal project "Pingping Portrait Studio" will open at 4:00 PM on May 25, 2024, at Bigger Art Space, and will run until July 7. 
‍The artist has set up a nostalgic portrait gallery scene in the exhibition hall, taking on the roles of both the proprietor and the portrait artist. During the project, he will offer custom portrait painting services to guests.Since 2012, Ning Haoxiang has been engaged in the practice of portrait series painting, which has now spanned twelve years. Through meticulous observation of human faces and a deep understanding of painting, he has chosen various subjects for his portraits, including friends, former classmates, relatives from his hometown, strangers he met online, and even famous personalities (politicians, celebrities, criminals, etc.) taken directly from the internet. With a solid background in painting, he seems less concerned with how "good" the paintings are, focusing instead on the interplay between known painting techniques and the depiction of different individuals. He explores a subtle balance between form and likeness, imbued with an Eastern aesthetic, and seems to reach the latent spiritual dimensions of each character.
From a historical perspective, portrait painting as a tradition has evolved globally with the stages of societal development. In today's image-saturated world, what significance does portrait painting hold for us? This may be the question the artist seeks to explore.
Would you like a portrait of your own?
