張大一 Jeffrey Cheung
張大一(Jeffrey Cheung,1989年生於美國)出身於加州,畢業於聖塔克魯茲加利福尼亞大學,同時也是一位因滑板玩家。張大一的扭曲裸體人物繪畫衝擊性的展現著他對人體與性的探索。在他這些感官刺激的繪畫中,我們甚或無法區分這些人物的性別。他們既男又女,卻也毫不違和的彼此交疊纏綿,是藝術家對於酷兒、變性者、以及有色族群的直白表述,直達最純粹的靈魂交融。《我愛我的屁股》(2021)中的人物以一種非常人的動作觀看著身體私密部位,卻也是對自己最為直接的承認與正視。2021年底,張大一在奧克蘭pt.2 Gallery舉辦個展,也參展甫於2022年一月結束的紐約Jack Hanley Gallery雙個展「Jeffrey Cheung and Humberto Ramirez」。
Jeffrey Cheung (b. 1989, USA) is an artist and a skater from California who graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz. The figures in his painting demonstrate his exploration towards the human body and sexual identity. In some ways, the gender identities of the figures in his works cannot be determined. Rather, the emphasis lies on how they flirt and connect to each other. Through this depiction of bodies in states of joy, play and close relation, the artist expresses the unity of communities of queer and trans people, and people of color. The figure in I Love My Ass (2021) looks at their private body part with a pleased gaze and gesture. However, it is also the frankest acknowledgement to their own body. In the end of 2021, Jeffrey held his solo exhibition at pt.2 Gallery, Oakland and participated in a two-person exhibition “Jeffrey Cheung and Humberto Ramirez” at Jack Hanley Gallery, New York which ended in January, 2022.
