Tsubakiyama Gallery is honored to present the series work “Green, Air, and Water” from artist Wang Yazhong.
The creation of the series “Green, Air, and Water” has lasted for nearly 20 years. The works are concentrated expression of the artist’s exploration of life experiences and artistic concepts. The works are based off unconscious and unintentional qualities of abstract expressionism. Each piece of work is created by sudden inspiration or improvisation. The painting process is deeply intertwined with artist’s life experience: spontaneous, and random. Oil and liquid pigments flowing naturally on the canvas, the artist captures the fleeting moments of present, unplanned, and not reproducible.
The series is named after “Green, Air, and Water”. Air and water are essential elements for life, and green metaphors growth and offspring. The painting is filled with an agile sense of fusion and diffusion, indicates the cycle of genesis, growing, prospering, and fading. The works express a poetic and unfettered sense of a free spirit, as well as a translucent state of mind towards invisible, impermanent rises and falls.

椿山艺术空间将在Artsy线上展览空间展出艺术家王亚中《绿色·空气·水》系列作品。
《绿色·空气·水》系列作品的创作持续近20年，是艺术家对生命历程与艺术创作长久探索的集中体现。艺术家的作品秉承抽象表象主义无意识、非刻意的特质，每幅作品皆乘兴而发、即兴而作，创作过程与生命体验浑然一体：以自发、随机的过程，使油彩与颜料在画布上自然流淌，捕捉当下的稍纵即逝，未经计划，不假雕琢，亦不可再现，赋予艺术作品独特的活力与生机。
系列作品以《绿色·空气·水》命名，空气、水是生长的必要元素，绿色隐喻万物韬晦繁衍、生生不息。画面中充满弥散与融合的灵动，起始、生长、繁荣、消弭，循环往复。作品的创作表现着栖逸的诗意与无拘无束的趣味，以及迎向周而复始、无形无常的豁然与达观。
王亚中，1962年出生于山西省太原市，1984年毕业于天津美术学院油画专业；1998年赴美国进行油画创作，作品具有抽象表现主义风格。
