Di Pian

Di Pian:Graduated with a master's degree from The Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.I engaged in visual design, picture book editing, novel and modern poetry creation, and easel painting.I studied under Mr. Wang Shaoqiang. My personal works focus on the spiritual world of disadvantaged groups. I havepublished charity picture books that call on society to pay attention to the survival problems of autistic people, and have planned multiple art projects co-created with autistic people. I have held many solo exhibitions and artist group exhibitions in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong,Frankfurt, Berlin,ect. I have participated in artist-in-residence creative programs in the United States and Europe.

 

Little Box Studio is a studio that artists, designers and children work together to create various fun art projects.

The research on materials in our ‘Materials experiment course’ we have recently opened is related to the theme of Rong- Casting project. We try to combine various materials with artistic paintings. We plan and create them through the integration of different materials and colors, and explore new ways of painting expression through casting.

The designers participating in this project include Di Pian, Ye Zixin, and Chen Kunquan.

Emotions Before Melting

Material:Resin, gypsum powder,glass, acrylic, spices, wax, comprehensive materials

variable size

My main art projects are about oil painting and picture book creation. 

For the theme Rong-Casting, I want to combine the theme with my previous picture book work. I try to re-present the abstract pictures about emotions by the casting technique . 

This experimental work extends the emotional feelings presented by color painting to the multidimensional sensation which include visual, touch , and taste . Through the superposition of different materials, different tactile sensations are created, allowing the tactile sensations to express subtle even giving the possibly for more sense to be engaged touch and smells.

The arrangement and combination of solid blocks of different sizes, the art work visually presents a prose poem with sounds that may be light or heavy, and emotions that may be strong or gentle.

The work displays both paper and casting forms, showing the process of the work growing from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, turning a book that could only be flipped through into a story that can be touched and inhaled.
