凯旋画廊代理艺术家关音夫和许宏翔作品受邀在奥地利列奥尼格博物馆呈现群展「追随兔子：藏品概况及其在中国当代艺术中的反响」中展出。
2023年，列奥尼格（Liaunig）艺术收藏向远东敞开大门，与中国当代艺术并列展示，以崭新的面貌呈现在公众面前。
适逢中国农历兔年，观众将“追随兔子”开启旅程，像刘易斯·卡罗尔在《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中所描写的那样，跳进兔子洞去探索一个崭新世界。

In 2023, the Liaunig Art Collection opens its doors to the Far East and is presented in a new light, alongside Chinese contemporary art.
In honor of the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, audiences will "Follow the Rabbit" on a journey, jumping down the rabbit hole and exploring a whole new world, just as Lewis Carroll depicted in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

列奥尼格博物馆（Museum Liaunig）从丰富的当代艺术收藏中甄选精品，与28位中国艺术家的作品一并展出。通过将奥地利及其他欧洲艺术家的作品与中国当代作品进行对比展示，打破西方审美中的固有观念，并对馆藏进行别样审视。这种对话的形式将会带来一种独特的思考方式。本展览旨在借由中西文化交流碰撞产生的关联与对比，获得反躬自身传统以及评判列奥尼格（Liaunig）馆藏的全新视角。
Museum Liaunig presents a selection of works from its extensive contemporary art collection alongside works by 28 Chinese artists. By contrasting the works of Austrian and other European artists with contemporary Chinese works, it breaks down the stereotypes of Western aesthetics and examines the collection in a different way. This form of dialog will bring a unique way of thinking. The exhibition aims to gain a new perspective on the Liaunig collection and to reflect on its own traditions through the connections and contrasts that arise from the collision of Chinese and Western cultures.

群展「追随兔子：藏品概况及其在中国当代艺术中的反响」的展品时间跨度自2008年至2022年，意在展示中国视觉艺术的多层次的动态发展。列奥尼格（Liaunig）提供了跨度更大的馆藏（主要为20世纪60年代至今）来匹配此次展出的40件中国当代艺术品所涵盖的发展脉络。
The group exhibition Follow the Rabbit – Taking stock of a collection and its reception through contemporary Chinese art spans the period from 2008 to 2022, and is intended to illustrate the multilayered and dynamic development of visual art in China. Liaunig has provided a much larger collection (mainly from the 1960s to the present) to match the developmental strands covered by the 40 contemporary Chinese artworks on view.

关音夫，1975年生于黑龙江，2002 年毕业于中央戏剧学院舞台美术系舞台设计专业， 现生活工作于北京。
关音夫的艺术是一种尊从、把握并引导物性的艺术，他让颜料这种对于画家来说最常见的物质用自己的方式说话，他强化了颜料的物质体量与来自工业的均质性，并 在这基本事实上去生成对应于今天物质世界的感性形式。丙烯、聚氨酯、不锈钢、五合板、物流木箱，以及各种媒介剂，这些经常出现于关音夫的作品里的基础加工物在今天的中国城市生活中显得熟悉而多余，大量却单一，相较于越来越数字与虚 拟的社会，它们又有一丝陈旧与过时，但却因此获得了一种普通的真实感，并作为一种经验的惯性涌现在了他的作品中——这一切使得关音夫的作品具有一种装置感，虽然艺术家本人从未刻意把他的作品与社会存在联系起来。
Guan Yinfu was born in Heilongjiang, China in 1975, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, Theatre Arts department, Stage Design major in 2002, currently lives and works in Beijing.
The art of Guan Yinfu is the kind of art that submits to, grasps, and utilizes materiality, allowing paint, the most commonplace material for painters, to vocalize in its own way. He emphasized the material volume and industrial homogeneity of paint, and based on this, he has engendered a sensual form that’s correspondent to today’s material world. Acrylic, polyurethane, stainless steel, plywood, wooden crates, and various mediums—these processed materials that often appear in Guan Yinfu’s works are familiar but redundant, abundant but homogenous, in contemporary Chinese urban life. In comparison to the increasingly digital and virtual society, they seem a bit outmoded and obsolete, which bestow them a sense of authenticity. This kind of experience emerges in his works as a sense of inertia—all of this creates a sense of installation in Guan Yinfu’s works, although the artist has never intentionally elucidated any social issue in his works.
许宏翔，1984年出生于湖南长沙，2007毕业于中央美院版画系获学士学位，2011年毕业于中央美术学院版画系获硕士学位，现生活工作于北京。
许宏翔的艺术创作形式多围绕绘画展开，项目式带有叙事情节的组画和以风景为主的布面油画是他一直以来并行的两个创作方向。“图像”、“身体”以及“绘画与现实之间的关系”是其多年在多媒介绘画项目中探讨的主题，而那些使用大量浓郁色彩等具有强烈个人风格的架上绘画是那些主题的切片。
Xu Hongxiang was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, China in 1984, graduated from the Printmaking Department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007 with a bachelor's degree, graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2011 with a master's degree, and now lives and works in Beijing.
Xu Hongxiang’s artistic practice often revolves around painting. Project-based painting series with narrative contents and oil paintings centered on landscapes are the two parallel creative approaches that punctuate his career. "Image", "body", and "the relationship between painting and reality" are the overarching themes he has been trying to explore in his multi-media painting projects throughout the years. The traits of his highly stylized painting, which included a signature saturated palette, are the fragments that reflect such themes.
