“Painting by 李永斌 Li Yongbin: 臉 Face, 2006 (Acrylic on canvas)” / 程昕東国际当代艺术空间 Xin Dong Cheng Gallery / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13841
Chinese artist 李永斌 Li Yongbin’s “Face” paintings explore the concept of temporality and the ways and possibilities in which we perceive events unfolding. He records the reflection of his own face on a windowpane against a cityscape at the moment of sunset. As night falls, the reflection of his face gradually appears while the cityscape slowly fads into darkness.
The artist is self-taught, who started with paintings and progressively work towards using video as his medium. But in these photorealist / hyperrealist works he has infused the concept of time in an otherwise still image.
I am always amazed by paintings from the photorealist / hyperrealist genre, but often beyond the skills of the artists I see little to be desired from those works. But this painting allow me to see the artistry beyond just an amazing rendering of something photorealist, and it is that which I find most incredible of all.
