In the year 1917, the Swiss-born novelist and poet Blaise Cendrars created the word ‘Profond aujourd’hui(the deep of today)’, to describe a tendency of arranging all the simple meaning words loosely in a paragraph and forming it into a basic rhythm: “Prodigieux aujourd’hui. Sonde. Antenne. Porte-visage. Tourbillon. Tu vis. Excentrique. Dans la solitude intégrale. Dans la communion anonyme [ ... ] Le rythme parle. Chimisme. Tu es.”

The same philosophy presents in today’s painting. In the two persons show, Wang Buke decomposes the story into sentences while another artist Ma Jianfeng splits the sentence into pure phrases. By using the lines, brushstrokes and the space-filled pieces to exchange with language, thus the relationship between the images and the meanings has been re-edited. The exhibition explains the implication of images in two ways: Ma’s works spouts out its intense and strength, which sets the images free by using the rough materials such as the plastic paper, stick and paperboard. In Wang’s painting, the images and the stories combine together as a whole, in such context, the paintings functions the connective logic.

The regulation of ‘Profond aujourd’hui’ has no more standard measurement, but the chaoplexity.
