The new space launched the artist Jiang Yi‘s solo exhibition “Carefree Excursion”。 Whitesotne　gallery said that after coming to Japan， Mr。 Jiang Yi obtained his first doctorate in the theory by studying the statistical physics of infiltration， and applied his academic achievements to art。 He created his unique painting style in the research room of Koji Kinutani， Tokyo University of the arts。 His artistic achievements are known by the famous Japanese artist Koji Kinutani as a “Da Vinci Type artist” integrating science and art。 Jiang Yi’s achievements were highly praised。 He was recommended by Kojin Tanaka， Direcor of Saitama Modern Art Museum in Japan to participate in Japan‘s first exhibition focusing on Asian contemporary art， the journey of Asian contemporary art in 1992。 And Xu Bing， Cai Guoqiang and other artists were selected as the most concerned contemporary artists in Asia。 The poster of this exhibition uses the works of Jiang Yi。

研究学者型而低调的江屹在欧美、日本、中国的艺术活动受到国内外学术界的高度评价。他用当代数学理论来解析东方美学的基础，发表了《中国画次元》在日本收到非常高的关注。江屹谈到“极端的物性追求，可以在一个高的层次与人性神会”，这次的作品系列他把自身的思绪寄托于野性的“豹”用水墨展开，在当代和传统之间，在文明和野性之间，所展现出的独特视角，能感受到一种对于现代社会和当代艺术的一种质疑和逆袭。江屹笔下的“豹”在现实和虚拟交错的空间中自由自在地遨游，重新审视“何为文明？”、“何为野性？”，通过豹的眼神窥视人性的本质。

Research scholar Jiang Yi‘s artistic activities in Europe， Japan and China are highly praised by academic circles at home and abroad。 He used contemporary mathematical theory to analyze the basis of Oriental Aesthetics and published the “Chinese art dimension theory”， which has attracted very high attention in Japan。 Jiang Yi talked about “the pursuit of extreme materiality can meet the God of human nature at a high level”。 In this series of works， he places his thoughts on the wild “leopard” in ink。 The unique perspective between contemporary and tradition， between civilization and wildness， can feel a kind of doubt and counter attack on modern society and contemporary art。 Jiang Yi’s “leopard” roams freely in the space of reality and virtual intersection， and re examines “what is civilization？” “What is wild？”， Peep into the essence of human beings through the eyes of leopards。

白石社长白石幸荣谈到“我是江老师的粉丝，他是哲学家，是学者，我从他的作品中学到许多人生哲理。现在的艺术话语权在西方，我希望为亚洲的艺术家发声，为亚洲艺术的话语权作贡献。我们会为江老师推广举办巡回展，出版书籍，他是我很喜欢的艺术家”。

VIP开幕中千叶市美术馆前馆长河合正朝先生来到现场。河合馆长谈到“江老师的作品非常独特，他精通传统水墨，又对当代艺术和当代社会有深度的理解。他的水墨作品是有多维度的空间的。这是和日本的传统水墨完全不一样。你可以从他的作品中看出对于使用水墨的东方美学空间的挑战，特别是黑色背景的作品更是可以看出他对东方空间理解的挣扎和超克。” 同时河合馆长对于江屹的书法作品也是极为赞赏，他说：“江老师的书法很有意思。东方艺术是书画同源，先有书法，先有线条，才有艺术世界。”

Koei Shiraishi CEO of Whitestone gallery， said， “I am a big fan of Mr。 Jiang Yi。 He is a philosopher and a scholar。 I have learned a lot of life philosophy from his works。 Now the right to speak in art is in the West。 I hope to speak for Asian artists and contribute to the right to speak in Asian art。 We will hold roving exhibitions and publish books for Mr。 Jiang Yi。 He is an artist I like very much。”。

During the VIP opening， Mr。 Masatomo Kawai ， the former director of Chiba City Museum of Art ， came to the scene， After see the exhibiion， he said with deep feeling： “Mr。 Jiang‘s works are very unique。 He is proficient in traditional ink and has a deep understanding of contemporary art and contemporary society。 His ink works have multi-dimensional space。 This is completely different from traditional ink in Japan。 You can see from his works the challenge to the Oriental aesthetic space using ink and wash， especially his works with black background。 You can see his struggle and Transcendence in understanding Oriental space。” At the same time， Director Kawai also highly appreciated Jiang Yi’s calligraphy works。 He said： “Mr。 Jiang‘s calligraphy is very interesting。 Oriental Art is the same origin of calligraphy and painting。 Calligraphy and lines come first， and then there is the art world。”
