陈粉丸
纸做的艺术家
Chen Fenwan, a paper artist
2023
先人认为太阳之所以在天上，是因为有鸟背着它飞上天，将鸟的飞翔和太阳的运行生动地结合。陈粉丸爱这种天真，也爱太阳。并天真地设问：我们和太阳的距离什么时候最近？她最终用这个作品来回答。
Ancestors believed that the sun was carried by birds to the sky, combining the flight of birds with the movement of the sun in a vivid way. Chen Fanwan loves this innocence and also loves the sun. And naively asked: when is the distance between us and the sun closest? She finally answered with this piece of work.

建筑留下的痕迹，是时间在事物上做的“镂刻”，它似某个时刻历史推进的那一刀。艺术家通过观察和收集太平墟建筑外墙皮剥落的痕迹，以纸张雕刻的形式提取临摹。她创造出一个在地性历史时刻的集合，这些记忆的碎片在空间中不停运转，闪烁重叠。
Exhibited in Guangdong Naihai Art Field 2022. The trace left on buildings are the "carving" made by time, which is like the knife pushed forward by history at a certain moment. By observing and collecting the traces of peeling skin on the outside walls in Taiping Ruins , the artist extracts the copy in the form of paper cutting. She creates a collection of earthly historical moments, fragments of memory, flickering and overlapping.

“我觉得或许就像一个窗户之于一个房间的重要性一样，一片大地如果有一个水域，就透了。 我想为这个大地上的一面小窗户贴上我的剪纸，就像贴窗花一样。 如果把这个水域比作窗户，那它看出去就是广阔的天空甚至是宇宙。 ”

“It is like a window to a room, that a body of water can bring transparency to the land. I hope to paste my paper-cut on the water, like we usually do on windows. And if we regard it as the earth’s window, we could look out on the vast sky and even the universe.”

剪纸是取舍的艺术：剪去一些纸，才会留下一些纸。作品展出的是取下后被保留的正型，源自陈粉丸在过去十年中创作过的大量剪纸图库。而真正的剪纸宇宙，其实是那些舍掉的、隐性的负形。
Paper-cutting is the art of choice: cut some paper, so that the remaining will be left. On display are the preserved positive forms, drawn from a large library of cut-outs that Chen Fenwan has created over the past decade. And the real paper Cutting universe, in fact, is those abandoned, recessive negative form.

“10是5+5，我们的一只手是5，手牵手就是10，快乐会因心意相连而加倍。
“这是一道简单的数学题，套用在人与人的情感中，便有了艺术的浪漫。我们渴望对称的情感，牵手、拥抱，都是对称的行为。除了视觉，对称还在我们的观念和意识里，只是现在暂时寄存在这些对称的快乐人仔上。”
"10 is 5+5, one of our hands is 5, hand in hand is 10, happiness is doubled by heart connection.
"This is a simple math problem, but there is romance of art when applied to relationships between people. We long for symmetrical emotions. Holding hands and hugging are both symmetrical behaviors. Besides vision, symmetry still exists in our ideas, but for the time being housed in these symmetrical happy figurines."

星辰指引人对于宇宙的想象，我们时常向天空与星辰投去目光；也试图循着心之所向彼此靠近，从浓烈的红过渡到温和的白。
We look upon the sky often, also try to get closer to each other, transiting between the intense red and mild white.

人如何能够接近无限？唯想象力或可触抵。《不息》表达的语言关乎空间：展出需考虑与每个空间的共生。它是艺术家对于“无限”在有限空间的想象。
Imagination brings people to infinite. Dragons, hidden and visible, can refer to the word infinite in oriental imagination.
