Rockbund Art Museum 上海外滩美术馆

The Rockbund Art Museum is pleased to present the first major museum exhibition in Asia of the celebrated Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bradford. Commissioned specifically for this presentation, three monumental collage paintings will fill each of the gallery floors of the museum. These exuberant new works titled The Tears of a Tree, Falling Horses and Lazy Mountain are inspired by the artist’s visits to Shanghai and what he found to be the dynamic melding of disparate cultures, economies and functions in the city—the sprawl, heavy industry, old port city, the French Quarter, and the glamour of the nouveau riche.

本次展览是这位生活工作于洛杉矶的艺术家在亚洲的首次美术馆大展。艺术家为这次展览特别创作了三件尺幅巨大的绘画作品，分别占据美术馆二到四层展厅。这些具有勃然生机的作品包括《树的眼泪》《坠落的马》《慵懒的山》，它们的创作灵感源自艺术家造访上海期间的见闻，即各异的文化、经济和功能的杂烩与交融——城市扩张、重工业、老港口城市、原法租界，以及新富阶层的魅力。
