李占洋，1969年生，毕业于鲁迅美术学院、中央美术学院雕塑系，现任教于四川美术学院雕塑系，是中国重要的当代艺术家之一。作品常以直白、尖锐的叙事风格，直面中国社会变革时期底层人物的众生相与市井生活。他塑造的场景人物，喷薄出生命的激情，呈现被社会宏观意识形态叙事所遮蔽、异化的人性，对社会现实有深入解读。李占洋还以惊世骇俗的“情色”题材而闻名，此类作品常引发轰动和热议。艺术家通过对当代社会隐晦角落如情色场所、社会底层的考察，对日常偷情、、偷窥、意淫等行为的关注，探讨社会禁忌和人性本能的冲突。这类作品有着非凡的想象力，常以调侃诙谐的方式挑战传统。艺术家凭借重构古代历史、故事中的人物与场景，以大胆而震撼的叙事，、经济、文化现实中潜伏的人性危机。他的作品不仅直达人类普遍性价值，同时也深刻隐喻了中国当下社会现实。
本次展览以“风月”为题，题目由来有二：一、“风月”是中国古代对、性欲的隐喻，暗示人类力比多。在许多古代文学艺术中，。这种隐喻在李占洋的作品中亦隐约可见。二、李占洋的情色题材的作品，在艺术性上也可从中国古代情色文化、艺术，从传统的“春宫”题材中追寻源头，并与之呼应。
本次展览展出的多为艺术家的最新作品，其中不少作品因尺度问题而未能在中国内地展出。同时，我们还将首次展出艺术家从未公开展示的创作手稿等文献资料。此外，我们还将呈现少量与艺术家作品相关联的18-19世纪古代春宫图等背景文献资料，试图让观者能从历史的角度，，探讨人类身体与精神、个体与社会的关系。

Li Zhanyang, born in 1969, was graduated from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts and Department of Sculpture of Central Academy of Fine Arts and now teaches in Sculpture Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. He is one of important Chinese contemporary artists, whose works boldly portray the appearances and vulgar life of lower-class figures in China's social transformation in a straightforward and sharp narrative style. From the scenes and characters created by him, an enthusiasm for life spurts out, and human natures concealed and dissimilated by the social macroscopic ideological narration and insights into the social reality are presented. Li Zhanyang is also famous for astonishing "erotic" themes and his works of such kind often cause a sensation and heated discussions. Through investigation into erotic places and lower-class gures in dark corners of the contemporary society and attention to such behaviors as betrayal, incest, peeping and psycholagny, he discusses the con icts between social taboos and human instincts. His works of such kind boast for extraordinary imagination and challenge traditions in a humorous manner. He reconstructs the characters and scenes in the ancient history and stories, which dramatically reveal the latent crises of human natures in China's political, economic and cultural realities through daring and shocking narrations. His works have not only directly expressed the universal values of human but also profoundly metaphorized China's social reality for the time being.
There are two reasons why this exhibition will be themed on "Wind and Moon". Firstly, "Wind and Moon" is a metaphor for sexual desires in the ancient China and implies libidos of human being. In many Chinese Ancient Erotic Art "Wind and Moon" also as a metaphor of political. Likewise, the metaphors of "libido" for politics can be found in Li Zhanyang's works. Secondly, the origin of Li Zhanyang's erotic themes can be traced in the ancient Chinese erotic culture and arts like traditional "pornographic" themes, which mutually echo.
Li Zhanyang's latest works will be put on display in this exhibition, some of which have been never seen in Chinese mainland previously for being scandalously erotic. It will be the rst time to display some sketches that the artist has never publicly displayed which have great research value. Besides, we will put on display a small amount of ancient Chinese Ancient Erotic Artworks in the 18th and 19th century as reference of Li Zhanyang's works. The audiences can have a deeper understanding about dazzling "sex" and "politics" in his works from a historic perspective and discuss the relationships between human body and spirits, individuals and the society.
