展览序言

文 / 尼克·毕比

作为一名雕塑家，对我来说，被邀请为一个雕塑展览写序言是一件新鲜的事。通常情况下都是我邀请别人去写，而不是被邀请。所以当樊昱给予我极大的肯定、并询问我是否愿意为他的首届雕塑展作序时，我既受宠若惊，又倍感压力。我是一个玩泥巴的，不擅长舞文弄墨，我担心我可能无法用言语充分表达我对樊昱及其艺术的钦佩和尊重。

樊昱首先通过社交媒体向我介绍了自己，非常害羞地问我是否想看他的一些雕塑，这已经是五年前的事了。尽管那时侯樊昱才刚刚开始做雕塑，但当我看到他那些早期作品的瞬间，我知道我遇见了一个真正的天才！他的雕塑已经显示出比许多职业的雕塑家更加高超的艺术造诣，哪怕他们一生都在创作雕塑。

从那时起，我就很开心可以看着这位天才的进步与成功。这些年我们经常一起讨论雕塑和制作方式，而且我很自豪，也很荣幸能够和樊昱成为真正的朋友。

任何一个观看樊昱作品的人都会立刻发现，他非常热爱他的作品和艺术，每件作品都充满了活力，有种热情和慷慨从作品中喷薄而出！樊昱的每一件雕塑，无论题材表现得是动物安静的休息，嬉戏的心情，或是充满戏剧性的、动态的行为，每一件都充满了个性和生活的乐趣（就像他自己一样）。作为一名雕塑家，我所能做的就是退后一步，欣赏并钦佩樊昱日益增长的知识和技巧。解剖学、形态和质地的完美和谐，微妙的肌肉张力或松弛，这意味着即将进行的运动，或完全的放松。动物的毛发在身体上的飘动，亦或断裂和移动的方式；他具备了超强的刻画力量感和力度的能力，同时也塑造出如此饱满和深刻的皮毛。尽管它是冰冷坚硬的青铜，我很确定，你一定能够通过手指划过那华丽而有光泽的皮毛去感受它。我可以继续说下去，但我相信你一定非常想亲眼看看这些作品！

总而言之，我很荣幸能向大家介绍我的好朋友兼雕塑家樊昱，他是一位令人兴奋的艺术家，也是一位天才！

让我们尽情享受他的作品吧！

Preface

Nick Bibby

As a sculptor myself, it is something new to be asked to write an introduction to an exhibition of sculpture. I am usually the one asking, not the one being asked. So when Fan Yu paid me the enormous compliment of asking whether I would consider writing the preface to his inaugural exhibition of sculpture, I was both flattered and a little daunted. I am a humble clay smith, not a wordsmith, and I worried that I might not be able to adequately convey in words, my admiration and respect for Fan Yu and his art.

Fan first introduced himself to me through social media, very shyly asking whether I would like to see some of his sculpture. This was over five years ago, and though Fan had only recently begun to sculpt, the moment I saw those early works I knew that I was looking at a real talent! Already his sculpture showed more mastery and skill than the work of many professional sculptors of high renown who have been sculpting their entire lives.

Since then, it has been my absolute pleasure to watch that talent blossom and grow. We have talked often over the years about sculpting and sculpture and I am both proud and honoured to now count Fan Yu as a true friend.

As anyone viewing Fan’s works will immediately see, he loves his subjects and art with a passion and generosity of spirit that positively shines out of every piece! Fan’s sculptures, whether quietly at rest, in playful mood, or in dramatic, dynamic, action, each is full of character and joy of life (just like the man himself). As a fellow sculptor, all I can do is stand back in admiration of Fan’s ever-growing knowledge and skill. Anatomy, form and texture in perfect harmony - subtle muscle tension, or lack of that implies imminent movement, or complete relaxation. The flow of fur over form; the way it breaks and moves; his ability to portray strength and power, whilst simultaneously sculpting fur so rich and deep that, though it is cold hard bronze, you feel that, surely, you must be able to run your fingers through that beautiful, lustrous coat. I could go on, but I am sure you are eager to see the works themselves!

So in conclusion; it is with great pleasure and pride that I have the honour to introduce to you the new and exciting art and genius of my good friend and fellow sculptor, Fan Yu. Enjoy!

在它们的世界里，色彩并没有我们想象中的那样丰富

但它们内心世界所充满的色彩，往往超乎我们的想象

对于动物的特殊情感，伴随着我从记事到成事，有增无减，尤其是犬类

它们眼中散发出的忠诚、善良、简单与直接，会瞬间感动我

久而久之，也让我成了那般模样，或者说，是我们心有灵犀

心心相印的最终结果，除了让我成为了一名职业牵犬师之外，还激发了我雕塑的本能

本能不比天赋，但却更为朴实与敏感，一旦被激发，便身不由己

在犬展领域的大紫大红与大起大落，给了我更多服务于本能的灵感

每一次手指与雕塑泥的对话，都像极了一场精彩的辩论

因为获胜者永远都不是正方或反方，而是抛出论题的那一个独有的灵魂

若要做到完美，主角与配角缺一不可，我尽力地分身饰演，就像由泥到铜的精彩蜕变

十年的无心插柳，等到了天地人的精妙相遇，让我的作品有了释放的空间

谢谢你们来看我的展，谢谢你们来看这些朴实而又敏感的灵魂

In the world of theirs,colors are far from many as we often imagine.

Yet, the colors of theirsouls go far beyond our imagination.

The special love foranimals, especially dogs, has always accompanied me, from childhood toadulthood, ever growing.

The loyalty, kindness,simplicity and directness in their eyes move me.

As time passes, they sculpted me into who I am.

In a sense, we are one.

The ultimate result ofthat empathy has led me not only to the path of professional dog handling butmy instinct of sculpting as well.

Instinct does notcompare to genius but more candid and sensitive.

And once awoken, it sentme on a momentum.

The hustle and bustle,triumphs and frustration of my dog show career has inspired me to follow myintuition. And every conversation between my fingers and clay is more or lessan enlightening debate, the winner of which is never the affirmative nor thenegative, but the unique soul that provokes such discourse. I try to be thelead and supporting actor in this, following the transcendence from clay tobronze.

This serendipity, tenyears in the making, has finally taken you and me to this space.

Thank you and welcome tomy works, may you bear witness to such candid soul and subtle sentiment.
