“我的艺术核心是快乐、精神和重塑魅力—— 一封重新与自然赠予的宁静相连接的请帖。”

“At its core, my art is about happiness, enrichment, and re-enchantment – aninvitation to reconnect with the calmness that nature offers.”

庄红艺在上海宝龙美术馆的首次展览将展出 80 余件作品，这些展品跨越了艺术家不同时期和阶段的创作。在这里，人类的内在体验与大自然的外在影响界限变得模糊不清，观众将进入一个充满质感和色彩交织的空间。庄红艺1962 年出生于四川，1992 年漂洋过海来到欧洲，他被周围不断变化的景观事物所吸引，并对此保持着开放的态度。

Featuring over 80 artworks that span the differing times and motions of the artist’s oeuvre, Zhuang Hong-Yi’s first exhibition at the Powerlong Museum in Shanghai invites the visitor to step into a space where the supposed boundary between the interiority of human experiences and the exterior world of nature’s affectations blur in an interplay of textures and hues. Born in Sichuan in 1962 and moving across continents to Europe in 1992, Zhuang has always carried with him a fascination for – and an essential openness towards – the amalgamations of the ever-changing landscapes that surround him.

庄红艺以其在触感景观和花床中对纸花的繁复运用而闻名，他在向中国传统的精致之美致敬的同时，重新诠释并创造出具有创意意味的作品。这些纸花瓣蕴含着无常和变化的可能性，以及大自然充满希望的韧性，既是对过去的致敬，也是对我们共同未来的祝愿。对他来说，艺术就是要在控制和混沌之间寻求平衡，让创造力在碰撞中生根发芽。对庄红艺而言，艺术是在控制与混乱之间寻找平衡，而创造力则扎根于两者交汇的缝隙中。他的作品充满了即兴而精致的细节与动态，试图捕捉一种超越语言与文化结构的情感世界，通过展览中富有节奏感的构图，以肢体性和体验性的力量，触及我们内心深处某种更为直接的情感共鸣。

Known for his intricate use of paper flowers in his tactile landscapes and flowerbeds, Zhuang pays tribute to the delicate beauty of a Chinese tradition while renegotiating their symbolism to create something new. A homage to his past and a wish for our shared future, the paper petals hold within them the possibilities of impermanence and change, as well as the hopeful resilience of nature. To him, art is about striking a balance between control and chaos, where creativity roots itself at the interstices. The impulsive yet refined details and movements of Zhuang’s works are an attempt at capturing and enunciating an emotive world that transcends language and cultural boundaries, approaching something more immediate within all of us through the gestural and experiential strength of the rhythmic compositions that make up this exhibition.

“也许我们说的是不同语言，但我们都能读懂花。”

“We might not all speak the same language, but we can all read flowers.”

万花筒的概念对于庄红艺而言，暗示着观看的直接性、视角的不断转换，以及真正让自己被不断变化的景观所吞没的冥想特质。观看万花筒，就是被色彩、运动和形式的变化可能性所影响和感染。庄红艺的作品探索艺术作为唤醒活力和休息的方式，对当代生活的不确定性——对我们所拥有的时间和我们所处的空间的概念的彻底改变——让观众参与其中产生对话：

The notion of the kaleidoscopic for Zhuang hints at the immediacy of looking, at the constant shifting of perspectives and the meditative qualities of truly allowing yourself to be engulfed by a landscape in flux. To look at the kaleidoscopic is to affect and be affected by the transformative possibilities of color, motion, and form. Exploring art as rejuvenation, art as rest, Zhuang’s response to the sense-uncertainties of contemporary life – to the radically changing conceptions of the time we have and the spaces we are part of – is to engage the viewer in a conversation:

“大自然的循环构成了我在“KALEIDOSCOPE - 万花筒”中寻求传达的无处不在的灵感——运动感和流动感为每件作品注入生命。在过去的几十年里，我很荣幸能与全球各地的观众分享我的作品，从北京的铸造美术馆到荷兰的格罗宁格博物馆、俄罗斯的艾拉尔塔当代艺术博物馆、德国的乌尔姆博物馆，再到现在的上海宝龙美术馆。这次展览对我来说意义非凡，是我艺术生涯中最重要的展览之一。它代表着一次回家的机会，一次与最初启发我艺术旅程的人们分享我的艺术演变过程的机会，一次在文化传承与创新塑造间对话并搭建起新桥梁的机会。我的愿望是将我的艺术作为对大自然永恒韵律的赞美；通过这次展览，我希望给人们带来沉思和愉悦的时刻，邀请每一位观众找到自己与自然世界的微妙联系，以及自然生态中奇异花朵的美丽。”

“It is the cycle of nature that forms the ever-present inspiration that I seek to convey in KALEIDOSCOPE - 万花筒— the sense of movement and fluidity that breathes life into each piece. Over the past decades, I have been honored to share my work with audiences around the globe; from the Found Museum in Beijing to the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands, the Erarta Museum in Russia, the Ulm Museum in Germany, and now, the Powerlong Museum in Shanghai. This exhibition holds particular significance for me as one of the most important exhibitions of my career. It represents a homecoming, a chance to share my artistic evolution with the community that first inspired my journey and to create a bridge between my heritage and the cross-cultural influences and discourses that have shaped me. My wish is to bring my art as a celebration of nature’s timeless rhythms; and through this exhibition, I hope to offer a moment of contemplation and joy, inviting each viewer to find their own connection to the delicacy of the natural world and the beauty of the singular flower within its ecology. ”
