刘子湉 首饰设计 本科预科

我喜爱观察生活并且喜欢将日常生活的琐碎融入艺术创作，我认为艺术终究应该来源于生活，并且在此基础上再去进行深入的思考，融入自己的感悟。

我的作品《沙丁鱼罐头》 灵感来源于高峰期挤地铁的经历。我借用“拥挤得像沙丁鱼罐头”这句常见比喻，用罐头比喻车厢，用沙丁鱼比喻乘客。我对车厢内形形色色的乘客进行观察，用手绘的方式记录了他们的穿着与样貌、神情与动作。从而设计了一个个性格迥异的沙丁鱼角色。这些沙丁鱼被挂在“地铁的栏杆”上，也能单独取下来作为胸针佩戴。

当下社会问题是我作品当中的关注点，我观察到的车厢内的一些不平等现象从而产生的思考，我认为在车厢的每一个人都是一条鱼，没有人会因为你的职位高低或者富裕与贫穷去给你特殊的权利。艺术创作对我来说更像是我与生活中随机发生的事件还有一些想法产生连接的方式，更多的是体现了我个人情绪的表达。尽管生活每天都在重复，但我还是希望我对我的每一天都充满新奇感。

I like to observe life and integrate the trivialities of daily life into artistic creation. I believe that art should ultimately come from life, and on this basis, I will conduct in-depth thinking and integrate my own perception.

My work sardine Can was inspired by the rush hour subway. To borrow the common metaphor of being packed like sardines, I use the tin as a metaphor for the carriages and the sardines as a metaphor for the passengers. I observed all kinds of passengers in the carriage, and recorded their clothes, appearance, expressions and movements by hand painting. Thus designed a sardine character with different personalities. The sardines are hung from the 'railings of the subway' and can also be removed and worn individually as a brooch.

Current social issues are the focus of my works. I observed some inequities in the carriage, which led me to think that everyone in the carriage is a fish, and no one will give you special rights because of your position or wealth or poverty. For me, artistic creation is more like a way for me to connect with random events and ideas in my life, and more like an expression of my personal emotions. Although life repeats itself every day, I still wish I had a sense of novelty in my day.
