陳箴是中國文化大革命後的先鋒藝術家之中最別具才華的一位。憑着對物料和工藝的高度敏感性,以及哲學家的人文理性,他的雕塑裝置及建設擁有牢固的物理基礎,同時又散發着神秘的光彩。來自個人的二元化體驗 - 健康與疾病、文化錯置與連繫,使陳箴對複雜而脆弱的人類生存系統特別敏感。陳箴於一九五五年於上海出生和接受教育,一九八六年移居巴黎,自此經歷不斷轉變的文化景觀,讓他把「融超經驗」溶入他的創作中,孕育出個人獨有的藝術風格。《純真之光》是藝術家於二千年的作品,同系列大型作品《能野》(Field of Synergy)曾於同年意大利個人展覽「能野」中展出。對於藝術家而言,Synergy不是一種物質性的「通能」,而是思維方式,如何把一件東西放在一個網絡中去思考,這充份表現了藝術家的多文化的背景,並看到藝術家如何從不同文化的養份中吸引跨學科的交叉思維,及在不同背景中集聚多元能量。「能野」是藝術家「一個終年的計劃︰我想成為一名醫生」藝術課題的前奏,可惜藝術家同年卻因長期疾病溶血性貧血而身故。《純真之光》是總結藝術家晚年創作的重要作品。
陳箴自二十五歲起得到了溶血性貧血,而這疾病亦一直影響著他的創作。《純真之光》是一具反轉了的兒童小床,外面以塑料透明喉管包裹著,裡面有著燈泡,整件作品尤如一個發光的蛹。床對於藝術家而言是伴隨生命的物件,亦代表著人體。小童的床象徵無邪之光,纏繞著床的塑料喉管則有如成人世界的金錢、權利及欲望,幸而,作品內的燈光始終亮著。
陳箴於二〇〇〇年底在巴黎去世後,世界各地都有紀念他的回顧展,包括倫敦蛇形藝廊(二〇〇一年)、紐約PS1當代藝術中心(二〇〇三年)、巴黎東京宮(二〇〇三年)及上海美術館(二〇〇六年)等。近期展出其作品的重要展覽包括二〇〇九年威尼斯雙年展、二〇一〇年上海世博會法國館,以及二〇一〇年至一一年於巴黎吉美博物館舉行的回顧展。由來自世界各地的藝術家及策展人組成的「陳箴之友協會」,現正籌備陳箴的作品全集,將他的藝術傳奇,留存後世。
