展覽序言
文 / 尼克·畢比
作為一名雕塑家，對我來說，被邀請為一個雕塑展覽寫序言是一件新鮮的事。通常情況下都是我邀請別人去寫，而不是被邀請。所以當樊昱給予我極大的肯定、并詢問我是否愿意為他的首屆雕塑展作序時，我既受寵若驚，又倍感壓力。我是一個玩泥巴的，不擅長舞文弄墨，我擔心我可能無法用言語充分表達我對樊昱及其藝術的欽佩和尊重。
樊昱首先通過社交媒體向我介紹了自己，非常害羞地問我是否想看他的一些雕塑，這已經是五年前的事了。盡管那時侯樊昱才剛剛開始做雕塑，但當我看到他那些早期作品的瞬間，我知道我遇見了一個真正的天才！他的雕塑已經顯示出比許多職業的雕塑家更加高超的藝術造詣，哪怕他們一生都在創作雕塑。
從那時起，我就很開心可以看著這位天才的進步與成功。這些年我們經常一起討論雕塑和制作方式，而且我很自豪，也很榮幸能夠和樊昱成為真正的朋友。
任何一個觀看樊昱作品的人都會立刻發現，他非常熱愛他的作品和藝術，每件作品都充滿了活力，有種熱情和慷慨從作品中噴薄而出！樊昱的每一件雕塑，無論題材表現得是動物安靜的休息，嬉戲的心情，或是充滿戲劇性的、動態的行為，每一件都充滿了個性和生活的樂趣（就像他自己一樣）。作為一名雕塑家，我所能做的就是退后一步，欣賞并欽佩樊昱日益增長的知識和技巧。解剖學、形態和質地的完美和諧，微妙的肌肉張力或松弛，這意味著即將進行的運動，或完全的放松。動物的毛發在身體上的飄動，亦或斷裂和移動的方式；他具備了超強的刻畫力量感和力度的能力，同時也塑造出如此飽滿和深刻的皮毛。盡管它是冰冷堅硬的青銅，我很確定，你一定能夠通過手指劃過那華麗而有光澤的皮毛去感受它。我可以繼續說下去，但我相信你一定非常想親眼看看這些作品！
總而言之，我很榮幸能向大家介紹我的好朋友兼雕塑家樊昱，他是一位令人興奮的藝術家，也是一位天才！
讓我們盡情享受他的作品吧！
Preface
Nick Bibby
As a sculptor myself, it is something new to be asked to write an introduction to an exhibition of sculpture. I am usually the one asking, not the one being asked. So when Fan Yu paid me the enormous compliment of asking whether I would consider writing the preface to his inaugural exhibition of sculpture, I was both flattered and a little daunted. I am a humble clay smith, not a wordsmith, and I worried that I might not be able to adequately convey in words, my admiration and respect for Fan Yu and his art.
Fan first introduced himself to me through social media, very shyly asking whether I would like to see some of his sculpture. This was over five years ago, and though Fan had only recently begun to sculpt, the moment I saw those early works I knew that I was looking at a real talent! Already his sculpture showed more mastery and skill than the work of many professional sculptors of high renown who have been sculpting their entire lives.
Since then, it has been my absolute pleasure to watch that talent blossom and grow. We have talked often over the years about sculpting and sculpture and I am both proud and honoured to now count Fan Yu as a true friend.
As anyone viewing Fan’s works will immediately see, he loves his subjects and art with a passion and generosity of spirit that positively shines out of every piece! Fan’s sculptures, whether quietly at rest, in playful mood, or in dramatic, dynamic, action, each is full of character and joy of life (just like the man himself). As a fellow sculptor, all I can do is stand back in admiration of Fan’s ever-growing knowledge and skill. Anatomy, form and texture in perfect harmony - subtle muscle tension, or lack of that implies imminent movement, or complete relaxation. The flow of fur over form; the way it breaks and moves; his ability to portray strength and power, whilst simultaneously sculpting fur so rich and deep that, though it is cold hard bronze, you feel that, surely, you must be able to run your fingers through that beautiful, lustrous coat. I could go on, but I am sure you are eager to see the works themselves!
So in conclusion; it is with great pleasure and pride that I have the honour to introduce to you the new and exciting art and genius of my good friend and fellow sculptor, Fan Yu. Enjoy!

在它們的世界里，色彩并沒有我們想象中的那樣豐富
但它們內心世界所充滿的色彩，往往超乎我們的想象
對于動物的特殊情感，伴隨著我從記事到成事，有增無減，尤其是犬類
它們眼中散發出的忠誠、善良、簡單與直接，會瞬間感動我
久而久之，也讓我成了那般模樣，或者說，是我們心有靈犀
心心相印的最終結果，除了讓我成為了一名職業牽犬師之外，還激發了我雕塑的本能
本能不比天賦，但卻更為樸實與敏感，一旦被激發，便身不由己
在犬展領域的大紫大紅與大起大落，給了我更多服務于本能的靈感
每一次手指與雕塑泥的對話，都像極了一場精彩的辯論
因為獲勝者永遠都不是正方或反方，而是拋出論題的那一個獨有的靈魂
若要做到完美，主角與配角缺一不可，我盡力地分身飾演，就像由泥到銅的精彩蛻變
十年的無心插柳，等到了天地人的精妙相遇，讓我的作品有了釋放的空間
謝謝你們來看我的展，謝謝你們來看這些樸實而又敏感的靈魂
In the world of theirs,colors are far from many as we often imagine.
Yet, the colors of theirsouls go far beyond our imagination.
The special love foranimals, especially dogs, has always accompanied me, from childhood toadulthood, ever growing.
The loyalty, kindness,simplicity and directness in their eyes move me.
As time passes, they sculpted me into who I am.
In a sense, we are one.
The ultimate result ofthat empathy has led me not only to the path of professional dog handling butmy instinct of sculpting as well.
Instinct does notcompare to genius but more candid and sensitive.
And once awoken, it sentme on a momentum.
The hustle and bustle,triumphs and frustration of my dog show career has inspired me to follow myintuition. And every conversation between my fingers and clay is more or lessan enlightening debate, the winner of which is never the affirmative nor thenegative, but the unique soul that provokes such discourse. I try to be thelead and supporting actor in this, following the transcendence from clay tobronze.
This serendipity, tenyears in the making, has finally taken you and me to this space.
Thank you and welcome tomy works, may you bear witness to such candid soul and subtle sentiment.
