God Loves WHATEVER / 神爱俗人

“God loves whatever: be it drunkards, illiterates or the uneducated, grandparents, uncles or aunties, the conceited or the shameful, people with status or
those without reputation ... they are everywhere and they are capable of anything. God loves them all!”
– Geng Yini After her triumphant solo booth at last years’ SH Contemporary Art Fair BANK is excited to present Geng Yini’ s 2nd solo exhibition at the gallery.
Intertwining her way through multiple mediums Geng Yini continues her bad-girl tactics in a new exhibition that takes on the touchy subject of religion and faith. Her large-scale, expressive paintings juxtapose and overlay images from different cultures and time periods in a carnival of absurdity. With pictorial inspiration sourced from across the global spectrum Geng positions the layman, in all their vulgarity, crude beauty, and misery, as God’s chosen ones. With a technique that is equal parts social-realism, graffiti, and expressionism Geng’s surfaces and palate is alive with dirty splendor. Geng’s schizophrenic tableau and attitude continues in her installation and video works, which show her grandmother and friends reading, or mis-reading passages from the bible, eating fruit, and singing religious hymns.
“神爱俗人:他们是醉鬼,文盲或半文盲,奶奶,二大爷,二大娘,自负或自惭形秽的人,或者有身份和地位的人。他们无处不在,无所不能。神爱他们 。”
——耿旖旎
继去年在上海SH Contemporary 成功推出耿旖旎个人项目之后, BANK很荣幸地在画廊举办她的第二次个展。
耿旖旎延续她的坏女孩姿态,运用综合媒介手段呈现主题略显敏感的关于宗教与信仰的新展览。她富有表现力的大型绘画并置和叠加来自不同文化与时期的图像,如同荒诞的狂欢。耿旖旎汲取来自全球范围的图像灵感来源,将粗鄙、庸俗、悲惨的俗人表现为上帝的选民,综合社会现实主义、涂鸦和表现主义技巧的画面饱含污秽的光辉。耿旖旎绘画中精神分裂般的态度也延续到了她的装置和影像中,影像表现了她的祖母和朋友们朗诵、错误朗诵《圣经》段落、吃水果和唱颂歌的场景。
