1962年⽣于安徽。1989年毕业于中央美术学院油画系。现⼯作⽣活于北京。叶恒贵以⽇常所“⻅”作为绘画的题材和内容。他笔下的众多“物”,恰是其与世界的接触和驻⾜。在他的绘画中,这些“物”没有⾼低贵贱、没有主次之分,平等⽽相互接纳。它们内敛⽽庄的栖息于绘画之内,清净⽽伫⽴,拒绝任何象征或者寓⾔,让平凡⽽不凡的物成为绵延的时间。我们在这样的绘画中看到物的⾃主性,物在此不再作为静物的描绘对象与宏⼤主题的点缀⽽存在。这些物以⼀种低调地为⾃身⽴法和宣⾔的⽅式,朝向了当代视下“物的转向”。

绘画的动⼒之所以可能成为⼈⽣的动⼒,便在于思考绘画即是思考物,在于绘画以其物质性⽽与其他事物⼀起组成了我们整个世界;⽽在此背景下,在现代⽣活与社会的割裂状态⾥,艺术家通过绘画的⼯作努⼒将物与物新连接,将物与⼈新连接,也便是建⼈之个体与世界的亲密关系。⽽这种“声声慢”式的持续性发展恰是艺术家内⼼的坚持与强⼤,亦是绘画中难能可贵的活⼒和持久的动⼒。


Born in 1962 in Anhui Province.Now lives and work in Beijing. Ye Henggui takes what he "sees" in daily life as the subject and content of his paintings. The many "things" in his works are precisely his contact and stay in the world. In his paintings, these "things" have no hierarchy or distinction, accepting each other equally. They nest within the painting in a restrained and solemn manner, standing clean and upright, refusing any symbolism or allegory, making ordinary but extraordinary things a continuous time. we see the autonomy of objects in such painting, objects are no longer as still life depiction objects and embellishments of grand themes, they do not serve a user of an object with their own function. they legislate and declare for themselves, towards the "turn to objects" in the contemporary perspective.

The importance of painting as an object, the possibility of the momentum of painting becoming the momentum of life, lies in thinking about painting is thinking about objects, in painting with its materiality and other things together to form our whole world; and in this context, in the fragmented state of modern life and society, the artist through the work of painting strives to reconnect objects with objects, reconnect objects with people, and it is also to rebuild the intimate relationship between individuals and the world. The "slow and steady" development is a testament to his inner persistence and strength, as well as the precious vitality and enduring momentum in his painting.
