介绍 PRESS RELEASE

女性形态不再是欲望的客体，而是作为主体本身面对欲望的主动性表达。以本体的形式再现欲望体现在创作方式的转变:画布从单纯被使用成为创作者感受的本身;通过材料的拼贴触发式创作;材料的叠加与抽象化底色将观众的视觉留在并非表面，也非底层，而是交互之间生成的视觉夹层，一种主动地引领。

内容上，景观文化中的符号被用作即刻吸引观者的注意力线索，与色彩一同唤起观者的立体感官。这些触发的符号是生物，⻝物，人体的局部，女性身份的某种象征性文化元素，或是代表性的抽象形状。这时的女性形态是假装示弱的客体;当视线从这些符号圈定的局部转移到画面的全部，重构的动态空间此时打散刚刚的注意力而陷入画面复合型的故事场景，以此完成凝视关系中的权力交接，引导观众重新审视主观性别意识的权力界线。最终的女性形态是再现欲望本身的主体。

这一系列作品在于感受新的层次，包含抒发和宣泄，燥热和局促的同时，暧昧和记忆感的萦绕在陈维佳的“戏剧”之中开始被允许。近期创作横幅的作品，陈维佳开始更加选择性的控制自己的镜头，跨越过于具象的痕迹，逐渐引出一种跨时空的情绪对话。 The female form is no longer the object of desire, but an active expression of the subject itself in the face of desire. The desire to reproduce in the form of ontology is reflected in the transformation of the creation method: canvas has been integrated into the creator's feelings, rather than simply being used as a material; collage triggers and leads creation; a visual interlayer between interactions, a kind of active leading, is generated by the juxtaposition of materials and the abstractness of background color.

Landscape culture symbols are used as clues to immediately grab the viewer's attention, and together with the colors, they create a sense of three-dimensionality in the viewer's mind. In addition to creatures, food, and parts of the human body, certain symbolic cultural elements of female identity, or representative abstract shapes can trigger the story. At this time, the female form is pretending, weakening, as an object; when the line of sight shifts from the parts delimited by these symbols to the whole picture, the reconstructed dynamic space breaks up the attention just now and falls into the complex story scene within the picture, handing over the power in a gaze.

Audiences are invited to reexamine the boundaries of subjective gender awareness as a result of the process. As a final point, the female form is the subject that represents desire itself.
This series of works reveals a new layer of Chen's work, where not only direct expression and catharsis, but ambiguity and memory are beginning to be incorporated into her "drama". Recently, Chen Weijia has begun controlling her lens more selectively, fuzzed up the concrete traces and gradually eliciting an emotional dialogue across space and time.
