The Stone Dance：Dragon

myminifactory

这系列的石雕是中国青年雕塑家蔡玉杰的作品。他以中国传统的雕塑语言展现了他的故乡雷州的风土民俗：包括舞龙、上刀山、穿令箭等。与当下细腻的艺术商品不同，蔡的作品以朴拙的手法加工粗砺的花岗石，就像他的祖先一样，面对坚硬的石头他似乎没有任何现代的利器可用，他以双手与自然对话，试图使作为雕塑对象的石材不仅可以成为故事的载体，也成为他的身体劳作的印记，这种物我两忘的创作方式与其所承载的古老民俗一样具有某种原始的祭祀气息，蕴含着的生生不息的巨大的生命力。 This stone sculpture is the work of Cai Yujie, a young Chinese sculptor. He use the traditional Chinese sculptural language to show the local and folk customs of his hometown Leizhou: including Dragon dance, Climbing the knife ladder, Piercing the arrow and so on. Different from the delicate art commodities of the moment, Cai's works process rough granite in a simple way. Just like his ancestors, he seems to have no sharp tools to face the hard stone. He uses his hands to communicate with nature. Trying to make the stone as the object not only the carrier of the story, but also the imprint of his physical work. This kind of creation method of forgetting oneself has a kind of primitive sacrificial atmosphere like the ancient folk customs the work carries.It contains a huge vitality that is endless.
