军人物，当代中国艺术设计学科的拓荒者、中国实验艺术学科发展的推动者。在长达40年的艺术实践中，
谭平始终探索于绘画、版画、多媒体、设计等多个领域， 在其不间断的变化与充满张力的创造中，将当代
艺术的诸多节点贯穿如壹。作品被中国美术馆、上海美术馆、波特兰美术馆、路德维希博物馆、亚利桑那
州立大学美术馆等国内外重要机构收藏。
谭平的作品具有强烈的“无目的的和目的性”特点，强调潜意识行为在创作中的地位。艺术家受到西方极
少主义与中国传统禅宗的双重影响，擅长在绘画当中做减法，直至抛弃物象，走向纯粹抽象。同时，他
关注绘画的材料性与视觉性，使其本身具有观念化的独立价值，令艺术超越哲学、社会学等概念的附庸身
份，从媒介的物性关注提升至现代主义的美学高度。“覆盖”是谭平的抽象作品中的显著标志，成为了他
私人的方法论，使得他的创作具有了表演性的维度。在色彩不断叠加、印制的过程中，绘画的表现力有了
更多不确定性和瞬时性，最终成为对整个时间、空间的整体体验。谭平的作品时刻都处于未完成和重新开
始的状态，即便是看似已经完美完成的一幅画面也存在被颠覆的可能性。这种反复无常的覆盖是一种极端
形势的摧毁，更是一次次对过去的对抗，令麻木的思想与灵魂得到重生。

Born in 1960 in Chengde, Hebei Province, China, he graduated from the Printmaking
Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1984, and went to the University of Fine Arts
in Berlin for his master's degree in 1989. Honorary doctorate from Kingston University, UK.
Currently lives and works in Beijing, China. He was involved in the establishment of the School
of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and became its first director. Tan Ping is
regarded as a leading figure in Chinese abstract art, a pioneer in the discipline of contemporary
Chinese art and design, and a driving force in the development of the discipline of experimental
art in China. In his 40 years of art practice, Tan Ping has been exploring various fields such as
painting, printmaking, multimedia, and design, etc. In his uninterrupted changes and tension-
filled creations, he has been able to bring many nodes of contemporary art together as one.
His works have been collected by the National Art Museum of China, Shanghai Art Museum,
Portland Art Museum, Ludwig Museum, Arizona State University Art Museum, and other
important institutions in China and abroad.
Tan Ping's work is strongly "purposeless and purposeful", emphasizing the place of
subconscious behavior in creation. Influenced by both Western Minimalism and traditional
Chinese Zen Buddhism, the artist specializes in subtracting from his paintings until he
abandons objects and moves towards pure abstraction. At the same time, he focuses
on the materiality and visuality of painting, which gives itself an independent value of
conceptualization, allowing art to transcend its status as a subordinate to philosophical and
sociological concepts, and to elevate from the materiality of the medium to the aesthetic height
of modernism. "Overlay" is the distinctive mark of Tan Ping's abstract works, which becomes
his private methodology and gives his creations a performative dimension. In the process
of overlaying and printing colors, the expressive power of painting becomes more uncertain
and transient, and eventually becomes a holistic experience of the whole time and space. Tan
Ping's works are always in a state of unfinishedness and restarting, and even a seemingly
perfectly finished picture is subject to subversion. This erratic overlay is an extreme situation of
