俞文杰是一位带着不安全感体验世界的艺术家。他将绝对诚实和勇气作为创作的第一要义。他的作品源于肉身与心灵在体验和探索世界的过程中所产生的内在体验的表达。这些内在体验催生了错觉、回忆、联想、幻想和感受,这些元素不断打破和重组演化出了视觉化碎片。这些碎片失去了时间和空间的限制,但是与他的当下体验保持着相似的时空距离。这些视觉化的碎片之间产生的自然裂缝被他在作品中或强化直接呈现、或弱化过渡地带。因此,宏大和微小叙事总是并存于他的作品中。既细腻又敏感,表现在创作过程中对材料的破坏和再塑的过程中,表现出了一种“脆弱而坚定”的童真的和浪漫。绘画,雕塑,装置,影像,行为表演和声音都是他的常用媒介。他跳跃式地结合了历史和未来,在作品中表现出 “当下既是过去又是未来”。他的灵感系统庞大而复杂,因此很难在他的作品中发现特定的灵感线索。他是一 位杂糅而多元的艺术家,擅长通过作品将他的精神世界直接译化现实世界的色彩与物像。他在保持原则同时又不 断快速变化。确信“不被世界改变实际上就是在改变世界”。


Born in Shanghai in 1997. Graduated from the Experimental Art Department of the China Academy of Art with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the Sculpture Department of the Royal College of Art in London. Currently works and lives in London and Shanghai.

Wenjie Yu is an artist who experiences the world with insecurities. He regards absolute honesty and courage in art as his priority. His artworks originate from the expression of inner experiences generated by the body and spirit in the process of experiencing and exploring the world.

These inner experiences give rise to illusions, memories, associations, fantasies and feelings, while these elements are constantly broken and reorganized into visual fragments. These fragments lose the limitations of time and space but maintain a similar spatiotemporal distance from his present experience.The cracks that appeared naturally between these visual fragments are displayed in his artworks by either strengthening the direct presentation or weakening the transition zone. Therefore, grand and micro narratives always coexist in his works. His art works are both delicate and sensitive, manifested in the destruction and reshaping of materials during the making process, showing a kind of "fragile yet firm" innocence and romance.

His media includes painting, sculpture, installation, moving images, performance, and sound. He combined history and the future in a leap way, showing that the present is both past and future. His inspiration system is huge and complex, so it is difficult to detect a specific clue of inspiration in his practice. He is a hybrid and diverse artist who is at translating objects from his spiritual world directly to the real world through his artworks. He maintains principles while constantly changing rapidly. Believing that "not being changed by the world is actually changing the world.”
