段建宇的笔触、色彩唤起我们意识中一个无法触及的边界，但又如此准确地唤起了我们在当代中国生活的感觉。她的绘画研究庸常的表达方式和风格，切入当下的生活。段建宇始终游走在绘画叙事和叙事绘画的边界，绘画从带有原生意念和生活形态的轮廓开始，成长成为绘画性的现实——这个现实是由诸种影响、情境和意识中的图景不断撞击、对抗、调整而生成，具有和我们所面对的物质现实同样的复杂性；而这同时也是基于对绘画与生命经验之间关系的重新信任。
Born in 1970 in Zhengzhou, Henan province, Duan Jianyu graduated from the oil painting department at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art in 1995. She currently teaches at the South China Normal University of the Arts in Guangzhou.
Duan Jianyu’s works recall a boundary that is mentally non-tangible in our daily lives, yet they precisely recall the feeling of living in contemporary China under globalization. Duan Jianyu strives for the most generic subjects matter and she delves into banal expression and style, and very much about life in the present tense. Her painting grows from its proto-concept and outline of different modes of living into a painted reality. Continuously impacted, resisted, altered and formed by the pictures that emerge from different influences, situations and awarenesses, this reality has the same complexity as the material reality before us. Duan Jianyu wanders the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, so-called narrative follows the logic of painting itself, and unknown experiences open up.
