Triumph Gallery is pleased to present My Hometown in the 1990s，Wang Yan’s solo exhibition from October 17th to November 20th, 2021. The exhibition will include more than seventy prints and watercolor works created by the artist since the beginning of this century. Wang Yan was born in Linjiang city, Jilin Province in 1980. He graduated from the printmaking department of Jilin University of Arts.

王岩的作品中时间是不可缺少的组成元素，因此他的作品像是一部部年代剧一样引人入胜，本次展览是王岩的一次小总结。王岩是一位新世纪以来成长起来的艺术家，在本次的展览作品中他毫不掩饰的分享他的过往和念想，他以画为媒把过去娓娓道来。

In Wang Yan’s works, time is an indispensable component, bestowing his works the enthralling effect of historical dramas. This exhibition is a brief summary of Wang Yan’s creative career. As an artist who embarked on his career at the dawn of the millennium, he unabashedly shares his pasts and contemplations with us through the works in this exhibition.

在《时间的表情》肖像系列中，铜版刻画愈发赋予这些肖像以时间的感觉，王岩在刻画这些他熟悉的身边人时注入了真实的情感和随着刻刀消逝的时间，每一刀下去宛如时间对于人的洗礼。在水彩写生系列中王岩记录了自己日本访学经历，日本与王岩故乡在水彩世界的交相穿插，像是浮世绘与梦华录的交替剪辑。《致青春》和《乡愁》系列将这次展览拉回到“我的故乡在1990年代”。故乡是出发地也是归来的目的地，每个人的青春都会消逝，每个人故乡在时代的潮流中都在改变，乡愁成为不变的部分，伴随着离开的人，让他们回不去同时丢不掉。空间可以改变， 记忆，故乡和青春已经成为记忆中的时间概念。此外本次展览还呈现了王岩近年来的水印木刻创作，水印木刻作为中国传统的艺术语言，将王岩创作的精神故乡向前拉伸了千年，虽是传统媒介，但在王岩的手中，水印木刻的氤氲婉转丰富了他时间体验的外延。

In Countenance of Time, the quality of etching lends these portraits a sense of time. Wang Yan must have invested much of his emotions and time when he was trying to depict these familiar individuals, where every cut on the etching is akin to the effect of time on our beings. In his series of watercolor sketches, Wang Yan chronicles his experience of studying abroad in Japan, in which he intersperses the landscapes of Japan and his hometown throughout his world of watercolor, almost like a collage of Ukiyo-e and Menghualu. The series To Youth and Homesickness take the whole exhibition back to the theme “My Hometown in the 1990s”—hometown is both a point of departure and destination. While everyone’s youth perishes and their hometowns change with time, homesickness stays forever with the people that leave their hometowns—they can neither go back nor leave this feeling behind. Space is malleable while time is always part of memory, as hometown and youth constitute the concept of time in our memory. This exhibition also showcases Wang Yin’s recent woodblock watermark prints. As a traditional Chinese artistic language, the woodblock watermark technique connects the creation of Wang Yin with his spiritual hometown from a thousand years ago. Although it is a traditional medium, the versatile nature of the woodblock watermark enriches his expression of the flow of time.
