闫占城(Yan Zhan Cheng),1984年出生于中国延安,2008年毕业于西安美术学院油画系,现生活和工作于北京。他的绘画中,人物往往处于梦境般似是而非的场景中,山、石、树、海以抽象几何形状表现,不展现任何细节;人物面目被省略或戴着面具,身体比例突兀而怪异,仿佛半人半兽、半人半神的存在。这些作品葆有叙事性,但竭力避免与任何具体时间或场景发生关系,处于情绪和意义的悬置状态。重要个展包括:2019年“向着另一个大海——闫占城个展”(作者画廊,北京)、“滑过咸苦的深海——闫占城个展”(奔放画廊,台湾);2018年“十三张脸 一首诗——闫占城个展”(作者画廊,北京)、“一张脸的许诺——闫占城个展”(美博空间,北京);2017年“丑观”(亦安画廊,上海);2015年“闫占城”(卓越艺术空间,北京)及“杂花生树”(利阿贺拿艺术空间,北京)。群展包括:2019年“Hakuna Matata 2019”(作者画廊,北京)、“艺术光州”(光州,韩国)、“艺术厦门”(作者画廊,厦门)、“艺术北京”(作者画廊,北京)、“当代肖像画群展”(红门画廊,北京)、“大地大地的”(作者画廊,北京);2018年“上海廿一当代艺术博览会”(美博空间,上海)、“艺术深圳博览会”(美博空间,深圳)、“情动的空间”(作者画廊,北京)、“隐匿的真实”(佑品空间,武汉)、“艺术北京”(作者画廊,北京);2017年“HI 21新锐艺术展”(北京)、“反向引擎”(东亿美术馆,北京)、“Y23-希娜的图卷”(圣之空间,北京)、“壹壹壹壹”(亦安画廊,北京)、“WHEN Y23 MEETS JSPACE”(君瑞汇当代艺术空间,深圳)。

【叙事类】
闫占城的绘画中,人物常置身于梦境般似是而非的场景,山、石、树、海以抽象几何形状呈现,几乎不展现细节;人物面目或被省略、或戴面具,身体比例突兀而怪异,仿佛半人半兽、半人半神的存在。
作品保留叙事性,却竭力避免与任何具体时间或场景发生具体关联,让情绪与意义处于一种悬置状态。
评论者注意到,他画中的人物“更像是穿着时代剧服饰来到片场,却还没有拿到正式剧本”,未给出明确的故事答案,而是试图捕捉情节发生前的序曲感与叙事的潜能。
同时,他也调动对家乡记忆、文学热爱与色彩直觉,将潜意识描写作为创作根底,画面中常带着一种暖意、荒诞与距离感。

Yan Zhan Cheng, born in 1984 in Yan'an, China, is a contemporary painter based in Beijing. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. His work is characterized by a blend of expressive figuration, lyricism, and a distinct romantic-symbolist sensibility. His paintings often place ambiguous, sometimes masked figures within dreamlike, non-specific settings composed of geometric abstractions of mountains, rocks, trees, and seas. While retaining a narrative quality, the scenes resist connection to any specific time or place, suspending both emotion and meaning. Common themes across his work include emotional states, dreams, memory and time, and existential reflections on life. His primary media are oil on canvas, acrylic, and mixed materials.
Some representative works include: *手持铜镜的三姐妹* (*Three Sisters Holding a Bronze Mirror*, 2024), *一只透明手的妄想* (*The Delusion of a Transparent Hand*, 2026), *像两个敌人那样去依靠* (*Leaning on Each Other Like Two Enemies*, 2026), *纳尔齐斯与歌尔德蒙* (*Narcissus and Goldmund*, 2026), and *两个干净的人* (*Two Clean People*, 2026), all in oil on canvas.
