万物与花同，爱亦如是
All Things Bloom as Flowers Do,
and So Does Love

“香味不具形，而我的艺术总是在不具形的事物中寻找能被总结的共鸣。”
艺术与香气的联系，在2023年粉丸与品牌蔻驰COACH与UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心的联名合作中，得见轮廓。
"Scents are intangible, yet my art consistently seeks to capture and distill resonance from the formless," reflects Fenwan. This exploration of the intersection between art and fragrance took tangible form in 2023 through Fenwan's collaborative project with luxury brand Coach and the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art.

粉丸以「剪纸」为概念，分层绘制叠加对称的画面，形成最终主视觉，当中选取了COACH最为经典的茶玫瑰元素，并通过个人语言和色彩对花朵进行转译。
Fenwan employs the concept of "paper-cutting," layering and drawing symmetrical images to create the final key visual. She incorporates COACH's iconic tea rose element, translating the flowers using her personal artistic language and colors.
分层手稿直观显示了主视觉的图形结构关系。层数越往上，线条越纤细，在叠加后呈现不同的颜色与细节，而它们则始终保持相互独立。
这是粉丸创作中典型的剪纸语言之一，即当我们希望使用实际的纸张去裁剪出相应图形，我们并不会一次性获得所有的颜色和细节，而是需要通过重复裁剪，分层和叠加。这样的方法在艺术家使用ipad制图的“电子剪纸”过程中，以概念的形式延续着。
The layered manuscript provides a clear visual representation of the key graphic's structural composition. As the layers progress upwards, the lines become more delicate, revealing varied colors and intricate details upon overlay while maintaining their individual integrity.
This approach exemplifies one of Fenwan's signature paper-cutting techniques. In traditional paper-cutting, one doesn't achieve all colors and details in a single cut; instead, it requires repeated cutting, layering, and superimposition. Fenwan conceptually translates this method into her digital workflow, employing what she calls "electronic paper-cutting" when creating art on an iPad.
对称的故事画面和每朵各自不同的花朵，其实隐喻着个体的爱。对称是剪纸最基础的形式感，在重复和正负形中寻找剪裁的路径。而在创作中粉丸想要拓宽对称的边界：有对称的香味吗？有对称的思想吗？
表达永远是一场冒险，有些勇气换来共鸣，有些句子有去无回。我们希望正在追爱的人们，在投射和反射的旅途中明晰自己真正的心意，拥抱自己身上的风采。
The symmetrical composition featuring diverse flowers serves as a metaphor for individual expressions of love. Symmetry forms the foundational aesthetic in paper-cutting, with artists finding cutting paths through repetition and the interplay of positive and negative spaces. In her work, Fen Wan seeks to push the boundaries of symmetry, posing thought-provoking questions: Can a scent be symmetrical? Can thoughts have symmetry?
Expression, in any form, is always a bold venture. Some acts of courage resonate deeply, while some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back. For those on the journey of love, we hope they find clarity in their true feelings through this process of projection and reflection, ultimately embracing their own unique charm and character.

💓 / 陈粉丸 Chen Fenwan
Q: The tea rose is a classic element of the Coach brand. How does Fen Wan perceive this element from her artistic perspective?
💓: While an artist's work often invites interpretation, some elements, like flowers, speak for themselves. Their allure is silent yet profound, directly felt rather than explained. The tea rose is no exception, embodying the idea that "all things bloom as flowers do."
Q: Coach fragrances uniquely blend with contemporary art and aesthetics. How does Fen Wan view the relationship between perfume and art?
💓: Scents are intangible, yet my art consistently seeks to capture and distill resonance from the formless. The relationship between perfume and my art is akin to that of paint and the artist's hand wielding the brush.
Q: Coach Floral Blush Eau de Parfum embodies both vibrant freedom and elegant charm. As a leading paper-cutting artist of her generation, did Fen Wan have any special inspirations or ideas when combining traditional Chinese paper-cutting with fragrance creation for this collaboration?
💓: Symmetry forms the foundational aesthetic in paper-cutting, with artists finding cutting paths through repetition and the interplay of positive and negative spaces. In this project, I aimed to expand the concept of symmetry: Can a scent be symmetrical? Can thoughts have symmetry? The overall composition of this work is built on symmetry, using visual balance to represent intangible ideas. The intricate cut-outs allow for the transparent release of the fragrance, creating a multisensory experience.
Q：茶玫瑰作为蔻驰COACH品牌经典元素，这一元素在粉丸的艺术视角里是如何感受的呢？
💓: 艺术家的创作总面临解释与被解释，可是花这个元素似乎是不需要的，它们的魅力无声胜有声，是直接感受的，茶玫瑰当然也是，“万物与花同”。
Q：蔻驰香氛精彩碰撞独特的潮流艺术和审美，粉丸如何理解香水与艺术的关系？
💓: 香味不具形，而我的艺术总是在不具形的事物中寻找能被总结的共鸣。香水和我的艺术，就像是颜料和执画笔的手的关系。
Q：蔻驰花馥蕊香女士香水是一款活力自由与柔媚优雅兼具的香水，艺术家陈粉丸作为“90后顶级剪纸艺术家”接到此合作时，在中国传统剪纸工艺与香氛结合创作的过程中，有什么特别的背后故事或者想法吗？
💓: 剪纸最基础的形式感是对称，在重复和正负形中去寻找剪裁的路径，而在创作中我想拓宽对称的边界：有对称的香味吗？有对称的思想吗？这次的作品构图整体以对称性展开，用对称的视觉去体现无形的想象，镂空令香气得以通透释放。
