董旻晋
Tung Min-Chin, a sculptor, has a remarkable artistic journey. Starting with an emphasis on form, he gradually evolved his work towards a deep appreciation of the texture and lightness of ancient wood. His sculptures span a wide range of themes, exploring the interplay between nature, everyday objects, space, and materials. Through his extensive dedication to sculpting, he captures the organic lines shaped by natural weathering, seamlessly integrating human traces into his art. His work inspires us to explore the blurred boundaries between the artificial and the natural and to discover beauty in unexpected places.
董旻晋早期的雕塑作品著重於形體,注重平滑順暢的線條。然而,隨著生活轉變,他內心渴望感受輕盈和欣賞古老沉木的風化質感,因此他的創作逐漸轉向挖空和鏤空木材,以減輕材質的重量。董旻晋的創作主題廣泛,包括人物、自然、日常事物、空間和材質等。透過長時間的雕刻投入,他巧妙地揣摩自然風化的有機線條,將人為的痕跡巧妙地融入其中。在人為和自然之間的模糊邊界中,他嘗試探索豐富性。
