張子隆
Chang Tzu-Lung's modeling is deeply influenced by Western modernist sculptures in the early 20th century, focusing on aesthetic factors such as volume, space, and form. However, the charm of his works reveals the simplicity and tranquility unique to Eastern aesthetics. He pays attention to the idealized image of nature. His works are characterized by symbolic extreme abstraction and subtle shapes. As for materials, he prefers to use stone, wood, and copper to express the life and pure form of the material. Through skillful and concise cutting and fine grinding, he combines the idea of technique and the difference of texture, showing the graceful curves of his works, and at the same time releasing the spiritual ideas that the artist wants to convey.
張子隆造型上深受20世紀初西方現代主義雕塑影響，注重體量感、空間感、形式感等美感因素，作品氣韻卻流露東方美學獨有的簡潔和靜穆。他關注自然的理想化形象，作品以象徵性的極端抽象與微妙的造形為特色，材料上偏好採用石、木、銅來表現材質的生命與純粹形態，透過純熟凝煉的切割、細磨，結合技巧的意念與質感的殊異，展現其作品優美的造形曲線，同時釋放藝術家想傳達的精神意念。
