Artist: 王寶慶 WANG Pao-Ching (Taiwan, b. 1983)
自從1999年看了日本節目「電視冠軍」,第一次的創作就和袖珍藝術結下不解之緣後,藝術家王寶慶開始自學迷你藝術品到現在,當時袖珍藝術在國內還算是少數,很多材料大都要手工製作,從小就對迷你的小物品著迷。
1999~2005年,王寶慶都是以懷舊、古董、時尚為主題。想用袖珍藝術述說;對社會、人生、生命、信仰的想法,黑白袖珍系列就此誕生。單一用袖珍藝術,難以去述說作品說明,以用現成物件與袖珍傢俱組成一個半立體空間,以黑白系列的作品呈現。卡漫與神話的結合,提醒自已對萬物多點赤子之心。2年之後,王寶慶開始真正認識了宗教,來當主題系列。也是他的人生經歷,作品中有夢境、心靈、社會多種現象…等。
從小就對宗教與神話有極大的緣份,後來對藝術家來說已經是生活的一部分,跟藝術密不可分。不管是開心的、傷心的、難過的、哭泣的,都是啟發王寶慶對創作的對話靈感。王寶慶對傳統工藝如:木雕、石雕、象牙雕、磚雕、那精細的工藝和結構意境感到啟發,每當他到廟會看到那些石雕與木匠藝術都會看很久,而且會很感動的想學習,但傳統工藝已經快失傳了。
或許是特殊收藏與癖好、每次出門必做的生活儀式就是尋找小物件,最後,都成為了創作時最重要的靈感來源物件,再經由現成物件的結構的運作後,分解組裝製作,以石窟與袖珍藝術呈現。 每一件物件都是手工一筆一筆上色,再以染黑洗白漸層。每件作品中可看到水鑽,是王寶慶作品代表元素,「每個人都如鑽石,即使是小小碎鑽,在黑暗中也能發光發亮」。
作品元素便持續不斷地去尋找新的創作題材與型式表現。作品材質的運用上更具多變化性與多元化,複合媒材與袖珍藝術創作的多變性,作品顯現多種材質處理組合,以手工製作與分解組裝製作手法,創作出特殊的作品。以「黑色幽默」風格,傳達對生命、社會關懷議題。以黑、白、灰色調,精雕細琢的石窟系列創作。多元複合媒材,透過強烈視覺張力,將欣賞者引領到多種重疊空間視覺。

After watching Japanese show "TV Champion" in 1999, the artist Wang Ching’s first creation was inextricably linked to miniature. He began to study miniature art by himself. At that time, miniature was still a minority in Taiwan, and many materials were hand-made. Since childhood, he has been fascinated by miniature.
From 1999 to 2005, Wang focused on nostalgia, antiques and fashion. In order to describe the idea of social, life, beings and faith, “the black and white miniature series” is born. Using pocket art alone, it is difficult to describe and explain the work. As a result, he uses not only pocket furniture but also ready-made objects to form a semi-dimensional space, which is presented in the work of black and white series. The combination of cartoon, comic and mythology reminds him to be more like a child. Two years later, Wang began to truly understand the religion and it had become the topic of his work. There are many elements of dreams, hearts, and society in his works.
Since childhood, he has had a great affinity with religion and myth. For him, it has become a part of life, and is inseparable from art. Whether it is happy, sad, sad, or crying, it is the dialogue inspiration that inspired Wang to create. Wang was inspired by traditional crafts such as wood carving, stone carving, ivory carving, brick carving, fine craftsmanship and structural artistic conception. Whenever he went to the temple, he would see the stone carving and carpenter art for a long time, and would be very moved to learn. But traditional crafts are almost lost.
Perhaps it is a special hobby for Wang, the daily routine that must be done is to find small objects when he goes out. Eventually, they have become the most important material for creation. After operating with other ready-made objects, deconstructing and assembling, the work is presented in the form of the grotto and miniature. Each object is colored by hand, and then gradually washed with black. The rhinestones can be seen in each piece, which is the representative element of Wang's works. "Everyone is like diamonds. Even small pieces of diamonds can shine in the dark".
He continues to search for materials to create new themes and style expressions. The texture of the elements he uses is more and more versatile and diversified. He shows a lot of combination between different material, and how he deal with them. With the techniques of manual producing and disassembling, he creates unique works. In the style of "black humor", he conveys the issues of caring for life and society. Applying with black, white, and gray tones, he carefully carved the grotto series. Through strong visual tension, Wang leads the audience to a variety of overlapping space vision.
