David Quayola

奎悠拉是伦敦的视觉艺术家，他深入探索对话，意外冲突，真实与虚幻、具体与抽象、新与旧之间的张力与平衡。他的作品涉及摄影、几何、时间轴数字雕塑及身临其境的视听装置及现场表演多个领域，创造出绘画和雕塑的混合空间，并以此来爆破真实和艺术之间的界限。

Quayola is a visual artist based in London. He investigates dialogues and the unpredictable collisions, tensions and equilibriums between the real and artificial, the figurative and abstract, the old and new. His work explores photography, geometry, time-based digital sculptures and immersive audiovisual installations and performances. Engaging a practice of audio-visual performance, drawing, photography and software programming, he explores a fine boundary located between the real and artificial.

由于作品的特殊性，奎悠拉非常例外的被允许进入许多欧洲的教堂、剧院和博物馆进行作品展示，例如巴黎圣母院和梵蒂冈。在他的作品中，许多大师的杰作回到了未完成的、停留在油画布上的状态。在用谷歌艺术计划来观看艺术的这个年代中，奎悠拉将我们用来观看艺术的时间像塑料制品一样处理，这种凝视将隐藏在绘画之下的逻辑展现出来。

Special institutional commissions of Quayola's work have allowed him exceptionally rare access to the art and architecture of churches, theatres and museums in Europe, such as Notre Dame and the Vatican. In his work, original masterpieces and collections become raw canvas, as Quayola anchors a video-based exploration in a conversation about archives, collage, intellectual property and the appreciation of an object. In an age of the Google Art Project, which offers unprecedented access to the literal surface of a painting, Quayola handles the time we spend looking at art as a plastic artifact, something to be sculpted and suspended. The gaze is a place where the logic of a picture unfolds, seemingly excavated from beneath the image.
