此次“神游——与‘X’的对话中”展出了李振宁个人的20余件作品。为近三年以来的创作，他提炼出“社会行为与幽默”“色彩与矛盾”“转换与再现”这三个概念正是他作品的核心语言构建，也隐喻着他对社会对当代艺术的的自我经验积累。初读这些作品会被这些来自远古的图腾象征、形态诡异色调迷离的风格所吸引，再细心体察之下，却发现它们执拗而清晰地标示出作者一种自我深省的态度.

玻璃，在李振宁的作品中不仅是一种主要的材料，也是他思想表达的重要渠道。这种介于透明与不透明的质感，让这些诡秘形象或是隐喻符号也影影绰绰起来。李振宁所创造出来的种种清晰却又模糊“超人”形象，却并未给每件作品留下过多的文字解说。正如艺术家所言，他希望观者可以拿出孩童般的诚挚目光和纯真心态，真正用心去“看”这些作品，借以投射自身的经验与感情。观者会疑问：“这是谁？”也许，这是你，是他，也是她。这些“超人”是否能解答你心中的疑问，是否能帮助你的困境，李振宁也期待着每个人不一样的回答。

The over 20 pieces of works at Li Zhenning’s individual exhibition are all his recent creations in the last 3 years. In fully demonstrating his 3 core concepts—social behavior and humor, color and contradiction, conversion and reproduction—he displays his own experience on the society and on modern art.

At the first sight of his works, we may be attracted by the ancient totem symbols and his unique style of bizarre shapes and blurred colors, but in a more careful observation, we will discover the self-consciousness that are so deeply and yet clearly embedded.
Glass, in Li’s works, is not only a major material, but also an important medium for him to express. The texture of this material, which lies between total transparency and opaqueness, enables Li to express the images and symbols dimly without clear cuts. Li Zhenning has created a variety of such clear and dim images of the “super human” without offering too much explanation. As he put it, he hopes that viewers can truly “observe” these works with sincerity and innocence like children and project their own experiences and feelings into them. The viewers may ask about the works, “Who is this?” The works could be you, or anyone. Li Zhenning also looks forward to different answers whether these “super human” can answer the questions in your heart or help you out.
