简介Biography

Han Dong was born in 1970, with ancestral roots in Changli, Hebei, China. He studied Decorative Art at Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and served as the Director of the Michael Jewelry Research Center at the Central Academy of Fine Arts from 2004 to 2005. His sculptural works have been recognized with prestigious awards including the LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize Shortlist (2023) and the Italian A’Design Award Gold Medal. Han Dong’s artistic practice seeks a natural state of being within the realm of instinct—a condition close to humanity’s common spiritual origin. For him, the artificial and the natural are not distinctly separate but rather blurrily co-construct a world of spirituality. Through seemingly lifeless bronze, Han Dong’s work embodies the inter woven light of thought and perception between nature and humanity, breaking down the boundaries between life and non-life. His sculptures convey a vast solitude and a mysteriously primitive religious and Eastern artistic sensibility, attempting to present a state of primitiveness and nature within contemporary urban spaces. Using hard and cold materials like stone and bronze, he simplifies forms to express a unique vitality and an ineffable spirituality.

代表作与创作Selected Works & Style
韩冬（1970— ）是中国当代艺术家，以雕塑为主要创作媒介，同时从事皮纸水墨创作。其作品风格具有实验性、意象性与抽象艺术倾向，常用媒介包括综合材料、雕塑与青铜着色，题材涉及人物、城市景观、情感、社会评论、自然生态、记忆与时间、身份认同及身体等。
**代表作**
- “献给太阳的颂歌”系列：如《献给太阳的颂歌5号（宇宙之心）》（2018）、《献给太阳的颂歌21号（亲密关系）》（2022）、《献给太阳的颂歌1号（太阳门）》（2017）、《献给太阳的颂歌20号（大地之力）》（2022）等，均为青铜着色雕塑。

**创作特点**
韩冬的雕塑创作善于在青铜材质上通过着色赋予作品沉静而内敛的视觉气质，并在具象与抽象之间保持意象化的表达。其创作脉络在大型个展“乘物游心：韩冬雕塑三部曲”（2025—2026，蜂巢当代艺术中心北京）中得到集中呈现，展览以“大地上的行吟”“献给太阳的颂歌”“冰河纪的挽歌”三个章节展开，同时附有艺术家工作室复刻重现的文献单元，显示出其对自然、记忆、身体与精神性主题的持续关注。此外，他的皮纸水墨创作延续了对传统精神性的继承，而不局限于固定图式。
Han Dong (b. 1970) is a Chinese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture, with bronze as his signature medium. His representative works include the patinated bronze series *Ode to the Sun* — such as *Ode to the Sun No. 5 (Cosmic Heart)*, 2018; *Ode to the Sun No. 1 (Sun Gate)*, 2017; and *Ode to the Sun No. 21 (Intimate Relationship)*, 2022 — as well as the series *Elegy of the Ice Age*, including *Elegy of the Ice Age No. 6 (Migration)*, 2022; *Elegy of the Ice Age No. 12 (Black Sun)*, 2022; and *Elegy of the Ice Age No. 9 (Sacrifice)*, 2024.
His creative style is experimental, imagistic, and abstract, engaging themes such as the human figure, urban landscapes, emotion, social commentary, natural ecology, memory and time, identity, and the body. His practice was surveyed in the major solo exhibition *Riding on Things, Roaming with the Mind: Han Dong’s Sculpture Trilogy* at Hive Center for Contemporary Art, which presented his work in three chapters: “Songs While Wandering the Earth,” “Odes to the Sun,” and “Elegies of the Ice Age.” He has also worked in ink on bast paper, though sculpture in bronze remains central to his oeuvre.
