如果要将当代世界凝结成一幅风景画，它应该是什么样子？每个人都会有不同的答案。细细一想，当代世界不仅包括真实的人造景观，自然风景，还包含了网络世界的形态；不仅包含人们能够看到的，眼前的景观，还包含了能够了解到的，宇宙里的信息，这些信息进入脑海，也构成了当代世界的一部分；另外，当代世界作为历史的时间线上最靠前的部分，也自然包含了历史中更早的部分——人类所知的，这个世界的过去，以及过去所留下的物证，也构成了当代世界的另一个维度。更重要的是，这幅画卷只能属于每一个描绘它的人，是每个人内心世界与生活经验的映照：每个人都有一个不同的世界。
毕蓉蓉就在尝试描绘一幅当代世界的风景画，这是一个复杂的过程，这幅画是在她延续不断的创作中缓慢生长着。她的水墨画功底让她对风景有着深刻的理解，她的创作项目也像是一幅不断延展的当代画卷。这幅画卷不是一次完成的，而是像一个有生命的个体，在不断地生长着。具体来说，她收集生活与旅途中的视觉碎片，从街头涂鸦，到巴比伦建筑纹样，从火车窗外掠过的树影，到欧洲城市中的海报。在毕蓉蓉的作品中，这些素材都以纹样化，抽象化的形式呈现，所以是个人化的，对观众而言是陌生的。但同时，它们又来自许多人共同的视觉经验，所以会勾起观者经验深处的感知。作品由绘画，视频，装置，织物等不同的媒介构成，不同的质感似乎再现了不同的视觉经验。“小说景观”是一个具有生命力的项目，同时它又是具体而微的，它来自艺术家的个体经验，但又在唤起观者对自然与风景本身的感知。

毕蓉蓉（1982年出生），目前生活工作于上海。她曾就读于西南师范大学中国画专业，获学士学位，继而就读于四川大学的中国画山水画专业，获文学硕士学位。随后她入学于荷兰的Frank Mohr学院的绘画专业并获得美术硕士学位。在她目前的实践中，毕蓉蓉的作品以绘画、和从绘画延伸的多种媒介的表现方式为主，如编织、场域特定的装置、视频等。在今年的香港巴塞尔的展览中，蓉蓉将展示一件由纸本绘画、织物、视频等元素组成的装置。这件装置作品基于她在近些年的旅途中收集的纹样碎片而展开。毕蓉蓉的公共艺术项目和个展曾在广州K11(2018)； 上海玻璃博物馆（2017）；卡斯雕塑基金会，英国（2016）；千高原艺术空间，成都（2016）；Vanguard画廊，上海（2016）；四方当代美术馆，南京（2014）等机构展出。
毕蓉蓉的装置“小说景观”是她于2016年12月在千高原艺术空间的个展“小说景观”中的一个部分。个展由纸本绘画，布面绘画，纺织物，装置和视频等元素组成。这些元素基于她在近些年的旅途中收集的纹样碎片而展开，并是随时间不停发展、变化的作品。在旅途中她收集了各种碎片式的纹样，如古巴比伦建筑纹样，欧洲街头的海报痕迹，火车上急速掠过的树影都可能进入毕蓉蓉创作的素材库。结合不同的展览环境，这些素材在艺术家的个人语境中被重新讨论，生发出属于毕蓉蓉风格的图像，色彩，空间结构。由于时间和空间的改变，这样生成的作品或许是一张简单的素描，也可能会继续生发成为绘画、空间装置、数媒作品。这是艺术家与一个异世界的熟悉过程以及与一个熟悉世界的超脱过程。毕蓉蓉用“卧游”来描述她的生发式绘画方式，从平面绘画到三维空间的拓展为观众提供了身体上的空间经验，视觉和思维在图像和空间内部的游动形成了一个自由的整体，而这正是毕蓉蓉“游”的过程。在香港巴塞尔的展览中，装置“小说景观”从之前的个展中提取，再次成为了她的新展览中的素材，并与新的元素相结合，不断地编织着那片已知的或未知的风景。

What would it look like if the contemporary world is delineated in the form of landscape painting? Different people have different answers for that. If we put a deeper thought into that, we’d realize the contemporary world includes not only man-made landscape, natural landscape but also the virtual internet world. In other words, it includes not only the seeable (i.e. landscape in front of our eyes) but also the perceivable (i.e. information of the cosmos). When the latter is received by our mind, it also constitutes a prominent part of the contemporary world. Moreover, as the starting point of the timeline of all time, the contemporary world, naturally, contains the earlier history – the past as well as the physical evidence of the past constitute another dimension of the contemporary world. More importantly, the delineation hereby created pertains only to the one who creates it as it is the reflection of one’s inner world and life experience: the image of the world varies person by person.
What Bi Rongrong endeavors to do is to create a landscape painting of the contemporary world. As the process is long and complex, this “painting” keeps evolving, slowly and yet constantly. A good mastery of ink painting skills enables her to gain a profound insight into landscape painting, which in return makes her work an ever-developing landscape of the contemporary time. Rather than completing everything all at once, she treats the “painting” like a living object that grows organically and continuously. To be more specific, she collects many visual fragments she encounters during daily life or journeys. These fragments include street graffiti, Babylonian architectural patterns, tree silhouettes passing by train windows, and posters in different European cities. In Bi Rongrong’s work, these source materials are presented in a somewhat decorative and abstract way. To the viewers, it is unfamiliar as it is highly personal. But in the meantime, as the visual sources are rooted in people’s common visual experience, deep in the viewers’ mind a sense of empathy will be aroused. Her work ranges from painting, video to installation and textile; and different media give out different senses of visual experiences. Fiction Landscape is a project with vitality. It is subtle and yet specific. With a root in the artist’s personal experience, it manages to evoke viewers’ perception of the nature and the landscape.

Bi Rongrong (b. 1982) lives and works in Shanghai, China. She studied Chinese Traditional Painting from Southwest Normal University in Chongqing, then continued her study in the Chinese Landscape Painting Department in Sichuan University, obtained a MFA degree. After that she did contemporary art study at the MFA Painting Department of the Frank Mohr Institute in the Netherlands. In her current practice, Bi Rongrong makes drawings, paintings and drawing, painting based multi-media works, such as textile, site-specific installation, video, etc. At this year’s Art Basel in HongKong, Rongrong is presenting an installation composed of drawing, textile and video, based on the fragments of patterns she collected from her current years’ trips. Rongrong’s public art projects and solo exhibitions include Guangzhou K11 (2018); Shanghai Museum of Glass (2017); Cass Sculpture Foundation, UK (2016); A Thousand Plateaus Art Space, Chengdu (2016); Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai (2016); Sifang Art Museum, Nanjing (2014) and so on.

Bi Rongrong’s installation “Fiction Landscape” originally was a part of her solo exhibition “Fiction Landscape” held on December, 2016 at the A Thousand Plateaus Art Space. The exhibition was composed by drawing, painting, textile, installation and video. The works are based on her recent years’ trips, where she collected the fragments of patterns used in the exhibition. Ancient Babylonian architectural patterns, traces of posters on European streets and shadows passing fast on the train are all likely to be collected into Bi Rongrong’s library of materials. These materials are used within the context of the artist's personal life, and generate their new meanings and inner connections in the exhibition. This is how compositions of colors and spatial structures develop in Bi Rongrong’s distinct style. With the changing of time and space, the resulting work may be a simple sketch, it may also develop into paintings, textile, spatial installations, and digital works. This is a process of the artist familiarizing herself with a different world and stepping beyond a familiar world. Bi Rongrong describes her work as “mental travel.” She provides the audience a physical experience via the spatial expansion of paintings into three-dimensional installations. When the movement of vision and thought through the images and spaces forms a free assembly, this is Bi Rongrong’s “travel.” In the HK Art Basel exhibition, the installation “Fiction Landscape” was taken away from the original exhibition, became as fragments, or as a starting point, combining with new elements to weave into a new landscape.
