Beyond Light and Shadow Black and White Ceramic Sculpture Series

Histoire

Beyond Light and Shadow is a series of black and white ceramic sculptures that explore artistic space and emotional expression beyond light and shadow. Using simple yet powerful sculpting techniques, the artist transforms ceramic materials into sculptures with unique expressive power, attempting to transcend the conventional framework of light and shadow and express the emotional world and artistic language within. The lines and forms of these sculptures are minimalist, yet each piece is filled with intense emotional tension, showcasing the contrast and harmony between black and white.

Ceramics, as a traditional artistic medium, are imbued with new life and meaning in Beyond Light and Shadow. The use of black and white tones is not just a visual choice but also symbolizes the artist’s contemplation of the essence of art. Black and white are the most fundamental colors, yet they contain endless possibilities. They represent an eternal dialogue of opposites—light and dark, empty and full, and harmony and contrast. These black and white ceramic sculptures present an abstract artistic language through the flow of lines and the transformation of forms, guiding the audience into an art space beyond light and shadow.

Each sculpture in Beyond Light and Shadow is a manifestation of the artist’s emotions and thoughts. The sculptures are minimalist, but through their pure forms, they convey powerful emotional resonance. They present the complexities of the inner world in simple postures, allowing the audience to find their own emotional projections within each piece. There is no excessive ornamentation or superficiality; every line and surface is charged with power, symbolizing the artist’s unique understanding of emotions, life, and space.

The creative inspiration for this series stems from the artist’s infinite exploration beyond light and shadow. By using black and white ceramics, the artist extends the effects of light and shadow from the flat plane to a three-dimensional space, creating a new dimension of art. These works do not simply replicate the real world; through contrast, abstraction, and simplification, they showcase the artist’s unique reflections on the world, emotions, and existence.

Funds raised will be used for the creation of the ceramic sculptures, material procurement, equipment upgrades, production, exhibition space setup and layout, as well as the publication and promotion of the works. The artist hopes that through Beyond Light and Shadow, the audience will experience a deeper, richer artistic world that lies beyond light and shadow.
