夜影夜瘾

拾萬空间（北京）将于2024年12月21日呈现高英普的展览：夜影·夜瘾。夜晚似乎能够给予另一种精神分身，因此，嘈杂喧闹的夜场成为了人们尽情释放的娱乐场，在满足生活休闲需求的同时，带来了大量的愉悦感和满足感。而这种高压式上头的感受，使人能够在瞬间“过瘾”之后又瞬间“上瘾”，于是，被多巴胺充盈、盘绕的夜场便成了男男女女情绪依赖的发生地。而在这个场内，人们的身份会变得模糊，社会关系也不再重要，只有释放不完的多巴胺在尽情且无情地跳动并无限地循环，似乎，忘乎所以地沉浸成为了某些当代青年的一种临时精神状态。一直以来，高英普仿佛都在用绘画展示一种夜间的肾上腺素，它们像青春的爆发力，在刺透神经之后连带释放冲动、混乱以及瞬间的绚烂。在高英普的创作中，经常会看到人们在午夜场上的魔幻倒影，昏暗灯光下

，身体、墨镜、头发、指甲和徐徐上升的烟雾都泛着冷光，躯体都在扭动，灵魂也逐渐开始游离，并在游离的瞬间产生了影子般的震颤，像是肉眼难以捕捉的恍惚时间。在那一刻，时光可能不必在日光下过度绚丽

，感受眼前即是永恒与美好。正如艺术家所说：“青春会过去，但青春的面貌会以另外的形式伴随一生，对更美好世界的期待是我的一种本能。”

Hunsand Space (Beijing) will present Gao Yingpu's exhibition: Night Shadows · Night Obsession on December 21, 2024. The night seems to offer an alternate spiritual self, and so, the noisy and chaotic nightlife becomes a playground where people freely release their desires. While fulfilling the need for leisure, it brings immense joy and satisfaction. This intense, dopamine-driven sensation allows people to experience immediate "pleasure" that quickly turns into "addiction." As a result, the nightlife, filled and wrapped in dopamine, becomes a place where men and women depend on their emotions. In this environment, identities blur, social relationships lose significance, and only the relentless and uncaring pulsation of dopamine continues to circulate infinitely. It seems that, in a sense, total immersion has become a temporary mental state for some contemporary youth. For a long time, Gao Yingpu's works have appeared to showcase a kind of nighttime adrenaline, one that mirrors the explosive force of youth, releasing impulses, chaos, and fleeting brilliance after piercing the nerves. In Gao Yingpu's creations, one often sees the magical reflections of people in midnight settings. Under dim lighting, bodies, sunglasses, hair, nails, and rising smoke all shimmer with a cold glow. The bodies twist and turn, and souls gradually begin to drift. In those moments of drifting, shadow-like tremors occur, resembling a fleeting time difficult to capture with the naked eye. At that moment, time may not need to be excessively brilliant in the daylight; the present feels like eternity and beauty. As the artist says: “Youth may fade, but its essence takes on new forms and stays with us throughout life. My yearning for a better world is something instinctive.”
