大士騎龍；文殊菩薩；普賢菩薩 (三件一組) Dragon–Riding Bodhisattva ; Wisdom Bodhisattva & Fulfillment Bodhisattva (a set of 3) 簽名雕刻背面：李真 2001 Li Chen EA1/4 (每件) Engraved on the back Li Chen in Chinese and English, numbered EA1/4 and dated 2001 (each) 李真的雕塑藝術,主要採用中國特殊墨黑色的生漆手法、銨金、銨銀等技巧,賦予雕塑內斂沉穩,溫潤細膩的表面質感。遠眺如磐石渾厚,近觀則如瓷器細緻。《大士騎龍》、《文殊》、《普賢》同樣來自藝術家2001-2003年「大氣神遊」系列。該系列可謂李真不惑之年,創作能量豐盈,參得佛教精神,了臻於悟的圓滿成果。李真的藝術內蘊東方禪學,形塑於西洋美術的極簡風格;通過禪宗思想和當代藝術結合,推得亞洲當代雕塑的再進化。 Li Chen's sculpture art primarily employs techniques such as Chinese special ink-black lacquer, gold-gilt, and silver-gilt, endowing the sculptures with a restrained and stable quality, as well as a warm anddelicate surface texture. From a distance, it appears as solid and robust as a rock, while up close, it is as delicate as porcelain. This time, 'Dragon–Riding Bodhisattva,' 'Wisdom Bodhisattva & Fulfillment Bodhisattva' all come from the artist's 'The Greatness of Spirit' series created between 2001 and 2003.This series can be considered as Li Chen at the age of 40's, characterized by abundant creative energy.It embodies the spirit of Buddhism and represents the attainment of a profound realization. Li Chen's art embodies Eastern Zen philosophy, shaped by the minimalist style of Western art. Through the integration of Zen thought and contemporary art, it promotes the re-evolution of Asian contemporary sculpture.
