CONCEPT OF ARTWORK

The core of my art stems from the Tibetan culture of Kangrinboqe. The skull elements are the symbol of the patron gods in Tibetan culture. To me, they are spirits, representing every life entity and life cell from the universe. The tiger is densely covered with brightly coloured skulls in order to convey the natural law of coexistence between us and the tiger, human and nature.

罌粟虎:

我的藝術核心來自於岡仁波齊的藏地文化,骷髏頭元素在藏地文化里是守護神的象徵,對於我來講,他們是一個個精靈,代表了來自宇宙的每一個生命體、生命細胞。在虎身上密集堆疊鮮豔的骷髏頭符號,傳達我們與虎,人與自然共生共存的道法自然法則。


張洹(中國):

張洹是現今其中一位最具創造力、影響力和挑釁精神的當代藝術家。他的作品入選不少公共及私人收藏,包括各大知名藝術機構,例如紐約大都會藝術博物館、現代藝術博物館、古根海姆美術館,芝加哥麥克亞瑟伉儷基金會,巴黎龐畢度中心、路易威登創意基金會,阿布扎比羅浮宮,澳洲國家美術館及上海美術館等。
