The word “Hieroglyph”is commonly associated with many ancient civilizations in Egypt, Greece,Mesopotamia, America, China and Africa. Furthermore, this word also reminds usof one of the earliest traces of pictographic paintings – the murals of cattlein Lascaux Caves which date back to 15,000 BC. Nowadays, we are amazed by a lotof new visual elements: emojis on mobile phones, logos on the streets,best-selling comics at magazine booths, graffiti on the outer walls of oldfactories, as well as a large variety of paintings, sculptures, installationsand videos in contemporary art museum. Throughout the course of history, theoriginal function and meaning of “Hieroglyph” has changed. Against the backdropof emerging “Post-Hieroglyph” narrative, the artists’ creation focuses onintriguing “symbols” which create a complex game- like structure. In thisexhibition titled “Post-Hieroglyph Guide”, Parkview Green Art presents the uniqueand specific artistic praxis of seven artists. Multimedia works are displayedin the exhibition: they include independent comics, graffiti, Sudoku mobilepainting, hamster-driven mobile installations and humor narrative painting. “Post-HieroglyphGuide” sheds light on narrative and non-narrative elements in the presentedartworks.

 

“Post- Hieroglyph”is not only related to the historical evolution of artistic concepts; it alsoreflects a deep awareness towards what happens in contemporary society. Thisexhibition intends to create an implicit communication platform between thereal and fictional elements in the artworks and between artworks and visitors. Visitors,while establishing a direct connection with the artworks, can experience a newform of narrative.
