非池中藝術網

沈翰（出生於1988年）是來自浙江杭州的藝術家，於2017年獲得柏林藝術大學自由藝術系碩士學位，目前在德國柏林工作與生活。

沈翰的藝術作品充滿了時而隱藏、時而顯露、又時常被誤讀的元素，這些元素在畫布上相互融合消解，只有在整體的觀察下才逐漸呈現出明晰的輪廓。他以油彩構建色塊，賦予線條律動感，並描繪出隱匿的空間，使得畫面在流動的非連續景觀中交互浮現。這類作品標誌著他通過對破碎空間的理解，不斷探索非具象與抽象繪畫之間的界線。沈翰的抽象繪畫語言呈現出觀者自行完成解讀的開放性特質，未完成的部分成為探索可能性的碎片線索。觀者與藝術家在無秩序景觀中共謀，想像，相互妥協後才得以完整，這懸而未決的狀態如序曲一般啟動著萬象。他致力於探索繪畫與身體之間的關係，利用油彩構建的色塊、多變的線條與隱匿的空間描繪，促成潛意識與繪畫語言的融合。在對破碎空間的理解中，他在混沌中構建畫面的隱形秩序，不斷尋求在非具象與抽象之間的平衡。

沈翰擅長創作大型畫作，同時也反覆創作小作品，這些小作品不僅能更快地實現他的想法和情感，更有助於啟發創作靈感。他在畫布上靈活運用線條、色域和油彩材料，油畫對他的創作至關重要，因其慢乾的特性適合他的創作節奏。在創作過程中，他完全投入於繪畫，有時受其擺布，難以確定一幅畫何時算完成。當被問及這個問題時，他總是猶豫不決地回應：「我不知道。」

畫面上究竟發生了什麼？也許有一個開始，或者一些線條和飛濺的顏色，有些許厚塗。當你開始辨認出一些具象的東西時，它們卻往往在下一刻被新的顏料所掩蓋，畫面被覆蓋而非抹去，這一點極為重要，因為沈翰的繪畫與記憶息息相關，它們不是真正的連續敘事，而是層層堆疊的故事。某些形象、想法在轉瞬即逝的過程中出現，觀者找到進入畫面的方式，卻很快再次隱去，只留下些微痕跡。這些「痕跡」雖不是可辨識的物體或人物，卻是沈翰作品中意象的精髓所在，最終，人們不知道為何畫面已經「完成」、「完整」了。這同時意味著沈翰在操作著一種小遊戲與靈感，就像捏泥成形，再塗上顏色，但卻時常被他打碎、然後重新開始，這也是沈翰作品迷人之處——無限的想像空間，難以被固定定義，如詩般、如在腦海中浮現的朦朧風景，讓人驚艷且久久不能自已。

沈翰的創作被廣泛收藏於國際知名的美術館和私人收藏中，並且在國際藝術市場上獲得了重要的成就和認可，包括：杜塞爾多夫 Galerie Anette Muller、柏林 Colonia Nova、巴塞爾 Villa Renata、2022年Paris Asia Now、曼谷當代唐人藝術中心、武漢美術館、何香凝美術館以及上海震旦博物館。2023年沈翰被全球最大藝術網站「Artsy」評選為當年度最具潛力的五位新興抽象繪畫藝術家（New Abstract 2023），沈翰作為當代抽象繪畫藝術的重點關注對象，透過他獨特的視覺語言和深刻的主題探索，持續影響著全球抽象藝術界的發展和討論。

Shen Han (b. 1988) is an artist from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, who earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the Berlin University of the Arts in 2017. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Shen Han's artwork is filled with elements that are sometimes hidden, sometimes revealed, and often misinterpreted. These elements blend and dissolve on the canvas, gradually forming clear contours only when observed as a whole. He constructs color blocks with oil paint, imbuing lines with a sense of rhythm and depicting concealed spaces. This interplay creates a dynamic, non-continuous landscape. His work marks a continuous exploration of the boundaries between non-representational and abstract painting. Shen Han's abstract painting language is characterized by its open-ended nature, inviting viewers to complete the interpretation themselves. The unfinished parts become fragments of clues for exploring possibilities. In this unordered landscape, viewers and the artist conspire, imagine, and compromise to achieve completeness. This unresolved state initiates an infinite prelude, exploring the relationship between painting and the subconscious.

Shen Han excels at creating large-scale paintings, while also frequently producing smaller works. These smaller pieces allow him to quickly realize his ideas and emotions and inspire further creativity. He deftly employs lines, color fields, and oil paint on canvas. Oil painting is crucial to his creative process due to its slow-drying nature, which suits his artistic rhythm. During the creation process, he becomes wholly immersed in painting, sometimes feeling controlled by it, and finds it difficult to determine when a piece is finished. When asked, he often hesitates and responds, "I don't know."

What is happening on the canvas? Perhaps there is a beginning, or some lines and splashes of color, with a hint of thick paint. When you start to recognize some representational elements, they are often covered by new layers of paint the next moment. The canvas is covered, not erased, which is significant because Shen Han's paintings are closely tied to memory. They are not true continuous narratives but layered stories. Certain images and ideas appear fleetingly, guiding viewers into the painting, only to vanish again, leaving only traces behind. These "traces" are not identifiable objects or figures but the essence of Shen Han's imagery. In the end, people find the canvas "complete" and "whole" without knowing exactly why. This also means that Shen Han is playing a small game with inspiration, like molding clay and then painting it, often breaking and restarting. This is what makes Shen Han's work so captivating—its infinite imaginative space and its resistance to fixed definitions. His paintings are poetic, like hazy landscapes that emerge in the mind, leaving viewers amazed and profoundly moved.

Shen Han's works are widely collected in renowned international museums and private collections and have achieved significant recognition and success in the international art market. His exhibitions include Galerie Anette Muller in Düsseldorf, Colonia Nova in Berlin, Villa Renata in Basel, Paris Asia Now in 2022, Tang Contemporary Art Center in Bangkok, Wuhan Art Museum, He Xiangning Art Museum, and Aurora Museum in Shanghai. In 2023, Shen Han was selected by Artsy, the world's largest art website, as one of the five most promising emerging abstract painters of the year (New Abstract 2023). As a key figure in contemporary abstract painting, Shen Han continues to influence and drive discussions in the global abstract art community with his unique visual language and profound thematic explorations.
