Preface One
Wang Luying, a young local sculpture
artist in Xiamen, came in with his first draft the day before yesterday, and
asked me to write a preface. To be honest, I am an outsider for art, especially
sculpture, without the right to speak. But when I read the collection of his works,
I think I should say a few words.
Wang Luying is my friendship between
generations, although we know each other not long time, but his pursuit of
artistic creation that drive social integration, I am very appreciated. He was
born in Xiamen in 1980 and graduated from Fujian Academy of Arts and Crafts in
Fuzhou University in 2001. After leaving school only two years later, he began
to create works. Ten years to participate in a variety of provinces and cities
exhibitions.
I was invited to visit his studio, which
is based on the local reaction, and reflect the harmony of Xiamen Haicang
cultural vicissitudes of life works have left me a good impression. I prefer his
Chinese characters sculpture, the art of traditional Chinese characters
calligraphy has always been only can be appreciated on the plane of paper, and
Chinese characters sculpture let Chinese characters stand up vividly, this is
the reform and innovation of culture and art, or can become a "cultural
creativity".
The achievement of a young sculpture
artist Wang Luying, is first to get a good art education acquired during the
study of Arts and Crafts College, of course, this is also inseparable from his
practice after graduation and new exploration and willing to take advice. A few
years ago, he studied with Singapore sculptor Cai Wenjia, benefited a lot, is
really a strict teacher produce outstanding student.
As the collection of Wang Luying's works
is about to be published, I wish he will continue to move towards the palace of
sculpture.
