關於
戴坂 (Dai Ban) 出生於日本，在東京武藏野藝術大學獲得雕塑學 士學位; 他在紐約布魯克林生活和實踐藝術，然後搬到馬薩諸 塞州伯克希爾地區，自 1993 年以來一直居住在那裡。
在戴班的作品中，形式至關重要。 他利用簡單的工具和材料 – 刀或鋸、直尺、膠水和泡沫板 - 來喚起並塑造無意識的衝動、 感覺和記憶。 他的藝術過程沒有經過有意識的深思熟慮，並在 完成的作品中實現了自發性和活力。
每件作品都具有克制和微妙的特點。 戴班善於把握光線、色彩 和形式，會對每件作品做出無數微小的改變 – 數百次迭代的小 筆劃、不同角度的光線觀察、剔除不必要的細節，直到三維畫 布呈現出來。 蒸餾至最純淨的形式。 他認為這個過程是一種直 觀的對話，其中作品的意義不是選擇的，而是創造的 – 一種包 括觀察者在內的生成性對話，激發他們做出反應，並使觀看每 件作品成為一種協作行為，在這種行為中新的意義形成被創造 出來。
Born in Japan, Dai Ban received his BFA in sculpture from Musashino Art University in Tokyo; he lived and practiced art in Brooklyn, New York before relocating to the Berkshires region of Massachusetts, where he has resided since 1993.
In Dai Ban’s work, form is of utmost importance. He utilizes simple tools and materials – a knife or saw, a straightedge, glue, and foam board – to evoke and give shape to unconscious impulses, feelings, and memories. His artistic process is free of conscious deliberation and allows for spontaneity and dynamism in the finished works.
Each piece is characterized by restraint and subtlety. Dai Ban is attuned to light, color, and form, and will make countless infinitesimal changes to each piece – hundreds of iterations of small strokes of paint, observation in different slants of light, excision of needless details until the three-dimensional canvas is distilled to its purest form. He considers this process to be an intuitive conversation in which the meaning of the piece is not chosen, but created – a generative conversation that includes the observer, inspires them to respond, and makes viewing each piece a collaborative act in which new meanings are formed.
