吴尚聪作品选 Wu Shang Cong Portfolio

生活与创作如一场“戏水”之行，这种戏水状态与玩乐本身，构成了对权力结构、价值体系和既定情怀的生动反叛。吴尚聪有一种发现和转换的能量，孩童时被开启后，再未曾被关闭过。看似随手偶得，实是沉淀已久。艺术家游走于随性与控制间，在发现、改造、重组的过程中保持思考的流动性。他日常用颜料涂妆民国木雕、用石膏修补汉唐瓷玩、研究新旧石器微痕……相处中他意会到作者们的松弛和笃定，这种体验也延续到自己的实践中。边角料、破碎物、遗弃物，他者眼中的无用或错误，在吴尚聪手中再次焕发新的生机。他把生活偶得物进行简练塑形，临时拼装，任其流变。他的创作中，绘画是一个最基本的塑造语言。木方小车接近于绘画观看里的透视压缩，直接画在树枝上形成的人物或动物造型。他也喜欢做捏塑，用陶土做出像速写一样的东西。也会把小雕塑又变成元素，就类似于词语，又可再次组合新的句子，再次演变。拼贴时是在无意识地做梦，材料上的文字内容像是从潜意识里被提取出来，阅读时在解梦。当接受了这些新的讯息，自我认知的世界就又扩大了。

For Wu, life and creation resemble an act of “water play”—a state of fluid rebellion against power structures, value systems, and sentimental conventions. His practice thrives on discovery and transformation—an energy awakened in childhood and never subdued. Navigating between spontaneity and control, the artist maintains intellectual mobility through processes of discovery, transformation, and recombination. Seemingly casual acts—painting Republic-era wood carvings, repairing Han–Tang porcelain with plaster, or studying Neolithic tool marks—reflect his deep engagement with historical craftsmanship. Offcuts, fragments, and discarded matter—often dismissed as useless or “mistaken” by others—find renewed vitality in his practice. He distills casually encountered objects into concise forms, assembling them temporarily and allowing them to shift and mutate. Within his practice, painting serves as a foundational shaping language: the wooden carts echo the compressed perspective of pictorial space, while figures and animals sketched directly onto branches emerge as if drawn into the material itself. He is equally drawn to modeling—working clay into quick, sketch-like gestures—and often lets these small sculptures evolve into elements that function like words: units that can be recombined into new sentences and renewed meanings. His collages unfold like unconscious dreaming, the printed text embedded in materials surfacing as if extracted from the subconscious. To read them is to decode a dream. Each time he accepts these new messages, the boundaries of his inner world expand once again.
