这个五月，UCCA推出的全新展览“激浸”将为您呈现瑞士著名艺术家诺特•维塔尔的雕塑作品和其首次面世的油画作品。

诺特•维塔尔因其雕塑作品而闻名，他把不锈钢、石膏、煤、茶叶、金子、玻璃纤维、香皂等不可思议的材料转化成各种出人意料的艺术创作。此次，在他的艺术生涯中，诺特•维塔尔第一次将创作延伸到画布上来，通过简单的黑白灰，描绘出具有质感的、朴素且感性的肖像作品。而画布上寥寥几笔的色彩，极具张力，赋予画面以强烈的生命力。

展览“激浸”将从多角度为我们展现这位多才多艺的艺术家不断自我突破的过程。

Exhibition:  Full On
Artist:  Not Vital
Date: May 28, 2011 – July 10, 2011
Venue:  UCCA Middle Room

This May, UCCA welcomes Full On, an exhibition of sublime sculpture and never-before-seen paintings by Swiss artist Not Vital.

Thus far, Not Vital has been renowned primarily for his sculptures: elegant, ephemeral creations in which diverse materials such as stainless steel, plaster, coal, tea, gold, fiberglass and waxy pink Camay soap take on new and unexpected incarnations. Now, for the first time in his distinguished artistic career, Not Vital is extending his sculptural approach to the canvas, with tactile, understated, emotionally-evocative portraits executed in a simple palette of black, white and grey. Occasional and very deliberate touches of color create a sense of tension, rivet the eye and bring the canvases to life.

Full On offers a multifaceted look at the work of this versatile, restless, well-traveled and constantly-striving artist.
