身边艺术 II｜陈小丹 Chen Xiaodan

陈小丹，1962年8月生于中国福建省福州市，1987毕业于景德镇陶瓷学院，学士学位。2001年毕业于上海大学美术学院硕士课程班。2012年至2013年间，赴法国做驻地艺术家和访问学者。现居住工作于上海。

Chen Xiaodan was born in Fuzhou City, Fujian province, China, in 1962. She graduated from Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute and received a BA degree in 1987. She gained her Master’s degree from the Fine Art College of Shanghai University in 2001. From 2012 to 2013, she was a resident artist and a visiting scholar in France. She currently lives and works in Shanghai.

陈小丹是少有的能够将生命的脆弱与力量在作品中交织并置、互为砥砺又互为依存的艺术家。随后她开始用花和骨头砌成长城，凝结时间和生命，创造出一种属于其自身的尖锐、鲜明而有力的艺术语言。在这些作品中，脆弱与柔美、残酷与荒凉的意象会形成华丽而奇异的对比，生命与死亡的轮回也总是显得如此自然与不容回避。

Chen is among the few artists who can juxtapose and integrate the power and frangibility of life, two seemingly contradictory states that complement and reinforce one another through her work. Then she created the Great Wall with flowers and bones, which became the condensation of time and life, and developed an acute, vivid, powerful, and unique art language. In her works, images of vulnerability and tenderness, cruelty and melancholy, compose a contrast that is flowery and singular, and the cycle of life and death seems natural and inevitable in her works.
