手影，民间传统儿童游戏。
陈粉丸在这个作品中讨论模仿的概念，回望自己儿时成长的过程和艺术学习的路径，都和手影的表演方式一样，是一种模仿。
Hand shadows, a traditional folk children's game.
In this work, Chen Fenwan explores the concept of imitation, reflecting on her own childhood growth and artistic learning journey, both of which resemble the performance of hand shadows--a form of mimicry.

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.

广东南海大地艺术节2022参展作品。
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 Art Field Nanhai Guangdong 2022.
The traces left on buildings are the "carving" made by time like the knife pushed forward by history at a certain moment. By observing and collecting the traces of peeling skin on the outside walls of Taiping Ruins, the artist extracts the copy as paper cutting. She creates a collection of earthly historical moments, fragments of memory, flickering and overlapping.

广东南海大地艺术节2022参展作品。
“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。 ”
Exhibited in Art Field Nanhai Guangdong 2022.
“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.
对称系列
Series of Symmetry 2022
2022
“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."

作品中通过编程牵引当中的日月星，旋转出次次漩涡。粉丸尝试令观众的视线与宇宙的“正面”垂直，甚至同星体对话、与乾坤平视。
Through programming traction, the sun, moon and stars, rotates out of the vortex. The artist tries to make the audience's view perpendicular to the "front" of the universe, even talking to the stars and looking at the contour level.

粉丸带着自己的课题「对称」平移到两千公里以外的天津，作为驻地艺术家进行了为期2个月的考察和创作计划，并将当地风土文化转化为养分，呈现在最终作品《津天于天津》之中。
Chen Fenwan moved her research topic "Symmetry" 2,000 kilometers away to Tianjin. As a resident artist, she carried out a 2-month investigation and creation plan, and transformed the local culture into nutrients, which was presented in her final work Jintian In Tianjin.

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.

陈粉丸以个人视角，为米奇虚构出缤纷交错的脉络，并在其中点上象征梦想、灵感、情绪……的迷你枢纽，尝试将东方剪纸元素与米奇契合出在地的活力。作品正展出于“好奇无界：米奇艺术展全球巡展上海站”。

陈粉丸以 “方形”和“圆形”为灵感，以纸为媒介，通过不断 重复平面来冲破维度，组成一道无限的层叠空间，创 造有限空间里的无限之花。
“She deploys continuous repetition to create an unconstrained artistic statement of boundlessness.”
2018
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。
How Can One Approach Infinity? Only Imagination May Reach It.
The work Infinite explores themes connected to space: its display considers coexistence with each space. It embodies the artist's imaginative interpretation of infinity within finite spaces.
Lucky Garden

“If palm print is a sign of destiny, then "turning lucky" is actually a psychological hint against it.”
