度人超越,引发狂热几乎成了陈天灼作品创作的诱因,正如炼金术师一样,找寻在现实社会中存在的诱发因素,也即材料,精馏(提纯)之后,通过物质的升华来塑造一种真实存在的引人狂热的气氛。他的作品当中经常会出现全视之眼、《南方公园》中的种族主义者Eric Cartman、侏儒等一些具有异化可能的线索和符号,无论是木雕装置、表演道具、或录像背景等,他惯用跌宕诡艳的色彩,加之音乐层面的激发和感官互动来完成和升华作品。陈天灼在艺术目的性上的强势,使其更加自由地采撷和运用多元的传播媒介,除雕塑、装置、绘画、录像之外,能够在流行文化,诸如服装、音乐、派对、表演等形式当中来回转换或加以综合使用。


Born in 1985, currently living and working in Berlin, Germany. In 2009, he graduated with a bachelor's degree from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, UK, and in 2010, he graduated with a master's degree from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, UK.

As a younger generation artist, Tianzhuo Chen skillfully works between the artistic disciplines of installation, performance, video, drawing on paper and photography. Many of his artworks require others’ participation or that of the audience so to take the form of a “happening”, such as an underground party, staged performance, or more conceptually, a constructed ritual site, and ultimately transforming reality into fantasy. Within his artworks, Chen mixes his well versed knowledge of elements and symbols found in religion (like Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Shamanism, etc.), subculture (like cult cultures, drag and rave, etc.), popular culture (such as cartoons, hip hop and electronic music, etc.), and dance (like Japanese Butoh and Vogueing) in order to juxtapose the atmosphere, and cause the audience/participants to transcend both superficial sates of the body and spirit. Ultimately, arriving at, what the artist himself has referred to, as a “state of madness”.
