颜石林
简介Biography
颜石林1982年生于湖南长沙，2007年毕业于湖北美术学院雕塑专业，为当代新起的雕塑艺术家，曾在2007年全国高等院校优秀毕业生作品展中获得佳作奖。他的创作以稚拙的儿童形象回应年轻艺术家乃至一代年轻人初入成人世界的惶惑，作品中的儿童躯体略显扭曲，拥有成人的内心，通过微小谨慎的动作获得属于自己的小小空间。颜石林隐晦地指出成人世界中的种种可能，物化无形的屏障，孩子们似乎不想惊动别人，有时试图接近外部世界，但对外部的担忧和沉浸于自我世界的乐趣使他们定格在欲拒还迎的临界点上。他创造的孩子们通过陌生感与社会建立距离，仿佛生活在地球上的外星人，这种精雕细琢恰恰体现了强烈的社会互动欲望，通过建构这样的形象，创作者的紧张感获得舒缓和释放，观众也可借此回溯童年感受。重要个展包括2013年《一人一座城》（北京798卓越艺术空间）、2012年《To The Other Side——颜石林作品》（北京玉兰堂）和2010年《今夜无眠——颜石林作品》（北京玉兰堂）；重要联展包括2012年《又远又近——亚洲年轻艺术家群展》（北京玉兰堂）、2011年《未来通行证——2011年威尼斯双年展平行专题展》（意大利威尼斯）、2011年《不可缺席》（成都文轩美术馆）、2011年《缓行——十二位八零后艺术家》（北京玉兰堂）、2011年《七时一刻——青年艺术家联展》（北京卓越艺术空间）、2009年《Green当代艺术展》（北京中国国际贸易中心）、2009年《生活在别处》（北京顿画廊）、2009年《动漫百相续展》（印度尼西亚林大画廊）、2009年《独生一代——重庆艺术节》（重庆）、2008年《动漫百相》（北京林大艺术中心）、2008年《源》（北京月亮河美术馆）、2008年《发明自己》（天津汇泰艺术中心）以及2008年《中国姿态首届雕塑大展全国巡回展》（中国各城市）。
Yan Shi Lin was born in 1982 in Changsha, Hunan. He graduated from the Sculpture Department of Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2007 and is an emerging contemporary sculpture artist. In 2007, he received an Excellence Award at the National Exhibition of Outstanding Works by Graduates from Higher Education Institutions. His practice responds to the bewilderment that young artists—and an entire generation of young people—face upon entering the adult world, through naively rendered child figures. The children in his works have slightly distorted bodies yet possess adult inner lives; with small, cautious movements they carve out a tiny space of their own. Yan Shi Lin implicitly points to the various possibilities within the adult realm and materializes invisible barriers. The children seem unwilling to disturb others; at times they attempt to approach the outside world, but their anxiety about the external and their pleasure in self-immersion fix them at a liminal point between reluctance and invitation. The children he creates establish a distance from society through a sense of strangeness, as if they are aliens living on Earth. This meticulous sculpting precisely reflects a strong desire for social interaction. By constructing such figures, the artist’s tensions are relieved and released, and viewers can likewise trace their way back to childhood sensations.
Important solo exhibitions include: 2013 *A City of One’s Own* (Joyart Space, Beijing 798); 2012 *To The Other Side – Works by Yan Shi Lin* (Yulangtang, Beijing); and 2010 *Sleepless Tonight – Works by Yan Shi Lin* (Yulangtang, Beijing).

**创作特点**
颜石林擅长以稚拙而略带扭曲的儿童形象，表现初入成人世界的惶惑与紧张感。他塑造的孩子似乎拥有成人内心，动作微小谨慎，在欲拒还迎的临界点上定格——既渴望接近外部世界，又沉浸于自我的小小空间。通过精雕细琢的陌生感与社会建立距离，观众可借此回溯童年感受，艺术家本人的紧张感也随之缓解释放。其风格兼具浪漫主义与象征主义色彩，在具象框架下蕴含强烈的情感张力。

**Representative Works**
Yan Shi Lin’s notable works include *The Game of Lies*, *Growth* (2016), *What’s Wrong? Empty Sofa*, *One Person, One City: The Flower Warrior*, *Don Quixote’s Dream*, *Crossing the River* (2016), *The Boy and the Sea*, *Migration* (2016), *Homeland* (2016), *One Person, One City*, *Angel*, and *Isolated Island* (2016). Many of these pieces, such as *Growth* and *Homeland*, combine materials like resin, acrylic color, and wood, while others are cast in bronze with chemical or acrylic patina.
**Creative Style**
Yan Shi Lin (b. 1982) is a contemporary sculptor who works primarily in bronze, resin, and mixed media. His style is rooted in figurative art with an expressive, romantic, and symbolic sensibility. Characteristically, he sculpts childlike figures with slightly distorted bodies that nonetheless carry adult interiority. Through small, hesitant gestures—reaching out yet retreating—these children inhabit a liminal space between the desire to engage with the outside world and the comfort of their own inner worlds. This motif responds to the disorientation felt by young artists and an entire generation confronting the adult world. By presenting these child forms as if they were delicate aliens on Earth, Yan creates a sense of distance that paradoxically heightens the impulse for social connection, offering both the creator and the viewer a release of tension and a return to childhood feeling.
