人生是一场假面舞会。
在瞬间的辉煌中戴上面具，在钟声响起时摘下面具以示梦终。然后他又拿起另一个面具，继续在世界中游走。
喜悦、希望、悲伤、激情……在面具的遮掩下舞动，幻想，是一场名为“生活”的歌剧。
——盐泽凯伦
白石画廊北京荣幸地宣布将于2023年8月26日至9月16日期间，呈现艺术家盐泽凯伦（b.1998）在中国大陆的首次个展《光之假面舞会》（Masquerade of Light）。本次展览将展示她的最新作品，使我们的想象空间无限扩大。在艺术家盐泽凯伦创造的华丽舞台中，诠释一个个梦境与现实交织的场景。
盐泽凯伦是一位新生代艺术家，毕业于东京造型大学研究所并取得了硕士学位。童年时期在荷兰生活多年的经历深刻地反映在她的作品中，呈现出独特的空间透视感和光影的对比。她试图描绘一个通过视觉以外的感官所认识到的世界，开拓透过声音、光线等能对五感产生影响的表现元素。作品的线条及构图融合风车、古典拱门、和教堂尖顶等欧洲建筑元素。她采用了明暗对比的绘画技法，在增强光影对比的同时将鲜艳的色彩融为一体。盐泽凯伦的绘画风格严谨、手法细腻，她先以轻拍画笔的方式涂上美丽的色彩，之后在画面上勾勒出想象中的世界，再用针将颜料慢慢刮掉；经过对细节的不断处理及最后通过敲击画笔的方式进行点缀、增添柔光的效果，作品的完整面貌展现在观众面前，呈现似幻似真的场景。
盐泽在舞台幕后凝视着日常生活中隐藏的美丽，这种行为就像在无尽世界舞台上的聚光灯下，捕捉到虽小但美好的瞬间回忆。她的每件作品似乎都带有旋律，与隐藏在每个面具下的观众的内心产生深深的共鸣。
"Life is a masquerade."
In a fleeting glimmer of light, he puts on a mask, and when the bell rings to signal the end of his dream, he takes off the mask. And then he takes another mask in his hand as he walks through the world.
Joy, hope, sorrow, passion...The way they dance with illusions under their masks is an opera called "Life".
- Karen Shiozawa
Whitestone Gallery Beijing is pleased to present Karen Shiozawa's first solo exhibition in mainland China,“Masquerade of Light”, on view from August 26th to September 16th, 2023. The exhibition showcases a series ofher latest works that will expand our imagination. The splendid stage that the artist creates will illustrate scenes where dreams and reality are intertwined.
Karen Shiozawa (b.1998) is an up-and-coming artist who has just completed her M.A. in Fine Arts at Tokyo ZokeiUniversity. Her childhood experience in the Netherlands is strongly reflected in her work, with a unique spatial perspective, and the contrast of light and dark. To depict a world that can be perceived other than visually, she has sought out representations using elements such as sound and light which appeal directly to the viewer's five senses.Windmills, classical arches, church steeples, and other European architectural elements are featured in her works.She adopts the technique of chiaroscuro, exaggerating the contrast of light and shadows, and in the meantime harmonize all vivid colors. Shiozawa's work has a rigorous, detailed style- she flaps the paintbrush to apply beautiful hues and then outlines her imagination, and besides, she uses a needle to scratch the base color while painting. After all the delicate processes and the final use of the tapping technique to create a soft light effect, a verisimilar scene appeared in front of viewers.
This exhibition is the artist's wish that viewers will discover the "joy of imagination" through her works. She is offstage today, gazing at the beauty hidden in everyday life; the action metaphors the spotlight shines on the infinite stage of the world, capturing small but yet memorable moments. Each work of Shiozawa's creation has a sense of rhythm that resonates with the inner soul beneath the masks of each and every viewer.
