2019.05.17 – 05.19 between 14:00 – 20:00 each day 1 to 2 hours
UNFOLD 2019 艺术书展 M50 创意园区现场

用传统的中国笔墨描绘当代的市井生活是艺术家 anusman 近几年的创作主题。近年来，他笔下创作的“门先生”成为所有叙事中的主人公。门先生是个生活在大城市的小市民，他朴实真诚、稍有点小心眼，不去争取什么可比较的东西。他挤地铁、逛公园、去买菜、温酒、吃蟹、骑共享单车、回老家过年、听朋友讨论房价、听父母唠叨前程、还不忘关心弱势群体……尽管在这个变化的时代有很多格格不入的地方，但安静地活在自己的世界里。

anusman 也是一个喜欢自己手工做书的 zinester，连续两年都参加 UNFOLD，并积极准备很多新作品在书展现场发布。今年UNFOLD 艺术书展组委会邀请 anusman 为书展特别呈现墙绘艺术创作，希望通过他的笔墨绘画，在 M50 书展现场进行一个以艺术阅读 VS 市井生活的日常写照的大幅现场墙绘表演。以艺术家 + 生活家的角度表现 [艺术阅读] 融入[市民日常]，我们邀请您来到现场驻足观看。

In recent years, anusman has been focusing on portraying the nuances of everyday life in the contemporary world with traditional Chinese ink painting techniques. Mr. Men, an original character the artist has created, becomes the protagonist of all these narratives. Mr. Men is an ordinary resident of a big city. He is down-to-earth, genuine, occasionally small-minded, and doesn’t care for competitions. He squeezes himself into packed subway trains, visits the local park, goes grocery shopping, warms his liquor, eats crabs, rides dockless bikes, returns home for Chinese New Year, listens to his friends’ debates on house prices, hears his parents’ worries about his future, and doesn’t forget to give his love and attention to the less fortunate…Although he often feels out of place in this time of change, he lives peacefully in his own world. anusman is also an artist who loves to make zines with his ink paintings. Since last year, anusman has been an exhibitor of UNFOLD Shanghai Art Book Fair. He makes new zines for his fans and launches at UNFOLD. This year the committee of UNFOLD invites anusman to make a large size wall drawing performance at M50 fair venue. How Art Reading envolves into Local Ordinary Life? We invite you come to the fair and find his live wall drawings.
