“对称一直以来是我的观察与研究课题,这次的合作我依然带着这个思路展开。而且FENDI Peekaboo本身就是一个有趣的对称物,不分前后。对称平衡是自然的法则,我想用对称的自然图腾来呼应这样的动人设计与美感。”
"Symmetry has always been a focus of my observation and research. I approached this collaboration with that same perspective. The FENDI Peekaboo is itself an intriguing symmetrical object, with no front or back. Symmetrical balance is a natural law, and I wanted to use natural symmetrical totems to resonate with this captivating design and its beauty."
作为品牌FENDI在2023年为展现经典Peekaboo系列手袋所承载的文化基因,而邀请的三位中国艺术家之一,粉丸在这个与纸张一样有内与外的方寸空间中,创造了一款独一无二的粉色Peekaboo手袋作品。
它也将于5月19日至6月16日在FENDI举办的Hand In Hand北京展览中被展出。
As one of three Chinese artists invited by FENDI in 2023 to highlight the cultural legacy of the classic Peekaboo handbag series, Fenwan created a unique pink Peekaboo handbag within this confined space, which, like paper, has both an inside and an outside.
The handbag will also be showcased at the Hand In Hand exhibition in Beijing, hosted by FENDI, from May 19 to June 16.
粉丸创作的FENDI Peekaboo手袋

以包身为创作载体的经验更多带来的是“想通” —— 手袋是一个有内与外的空间,纸同样是。一个纸平面对折一下或者卷起来,也都是空间。与粉丸平常创作所要利用的空间一样,需要为之灌装想象力。
而在这样可被打开与装载的可变性空间之上,粉丸仍然可以嫁接她熟悉的颜色与技法,将高饱和度粉色调与多层次的繁复剪纸,错位安排在她眼中「不分前后的有趣对称物」。
Using the handbag as a creative medium has brought about a sense of "realization" — a handbag is a space with both an interior and exterior, much like paper. A sheet of paper can be folded or rolled, transforming it into a space. Like the space Fenwan typically utilizes in her creations, it must be filled with imagination.
On this variable space that can be opened and filled, Fenwan can seamlessly apply her familiar colors and techniques, integrating high-saturation pink tones and intricate, multi-layered papercuts in a staggered arrangement on what she views as "an intriguing symmetrical object with no front or back."
创作方案与手稿
Creation Proposal and Manuscript
手袋的部分创作灵感了来源于《镜》《对称的自然》等粉丸过去不同阶段的作品。
《镜》是粉丸在2015年创作的手工书之一,即脱胎于她踏上艺术家旅途之初对纸张的运用方式。而为了挣脱艺术家书这一隅翻动和合上的有限空间,寻找更宽广的长宽高,她逐渐开始创作《对称的自然》系列这样的大型装置作品。如今似有意无意地回到艺术家书的起点,粉丸对于纸张对折之间产生的开合,已累积更多的浪漫见解。
手袋看起来像一座对称的微观森林,正如她从2019年创作至今的代表性作品之一《对称的自然》。不同的是,这系列近年常占据在数百平米的空间中展出。
The creative inspiration for the handbag partially stems from Fenwan's past works at various stages, such as Mirror and A Symmetrical Nature.
Mirror is one of Fenwan's handmade books from 2015, reflecting her initial approach to using paper at the start of her artistic journey. Seeking to break free from the confined space of flipping and closing an artist's book and explore broader dimensions, she gradually began creating large-scale installations like the A Symmetrical Nature series. Now, in what seems like a deliberate or incidental return to the origins of the artist's book, Fenwan has gathered a wealth of romantic insights into the dynamics of opening and closing generated by the folding of paper.
The handbag resembles a symmetrical micro-forest, akin to one of her representative works since 2019, A Symmetrical Nature. Unlike the handbag, this series has often been showcased in expansive spaces covering hundreds of square meters in recent years.
对折便有内与外——创作的姿态在剪纸的轮廓上流淌
Folding introduces an inside and an outside — the gesture of creation flows along the contours of the paper cut.
“我认为艺术家和品牌的结合是应该提供一种新话语的,在这次的创作中也是。手袋既然已经是作品的一部分,那它就应该是不安分的,是刺穿边界的。我不会在艺术里追求实用,是因为无用之用更有意思。所以非要说挑战的话,第一笔和第一剪是不容易的,因为手起刀落我每一次都需要熟练之上外加勇气。”
"I believe the fusion of an artist and a brand should introduce a new discourse, and this creation follows that principle. Since the handbag is already part of the artwork, it should be dynamic, breaking through boundaries. I don't seek practicality in art because the utility of the useless is more intriguing. So, if we discuss challenges, the first stroke and the first cut are always difficult, as every time I start, I need to add courage to my skill."
粉丸在自己的新工作室「丸超级工厂」中创作Peekaboo手袋,是她与这份时尚单品长时间独处的过程。从无至有,手中的笔刷经历过来回的轻抚,一张张彩色的纸在刀尖的取舍中获得形状,剪纸又像是身体创作姿态的记录仪。
Fenwan crafted the Peekaboo handbag in her new studio, "Wan Super Factory," spending a significant amount of time alone with this fashion item. From nothing to something, her brush gently stroked back and forth, while sheets of colored paper took shape through the delicate choices of the knife tip. Papercutting became a recorder of her body's creative movements.
粉丸受邀出席FENDI“Hand In Hand”匠心艺术展开幕晚会。展览位于北京Temple东景缘,从5月19日持续至6月16日。

对于一个用纸来创作的艺术家来说,经常被问道作品是否脆弱和难以保存。粉丸的回答是:我从来没打算追求物质的永恒,甚至认为这种脆弱和易朽就和我们的血肉之躯一样。我更希望用作品的当下来打动自己和观众。
For an artist who works with paper, the question of whether their works are fragile and difficult to preserve often arises. Artist Fenwan's response is: "I never intended to pursue material eternity. I see this fragility and impermanence as akin to our own flesh and blood. I aim to move both myself and the audience in the present moment through my works."
