Xu Bin Jueyi’s sculpture breaks nearly a hundred years of stasis in Buddha sculpting. Using contemporary materials such as metal, resin and wood, Jueyi literally reshapes the aesthetic for Buddha imagery while retaining the compassion and tranquillity that lies behind it. Through the study and sketching of Chinese and Tibetan natural scenery and folk customs, the artist has gained an in depth understanding of the supreme place of spirituality in Buddhist followers’ lives. The purity and serenity of their quest, and Xu Bin’s own quest, are shown in the sculptor’s creative energy which inspire their quests for peace and serenity. The resulting Buddha sculptures bring together contemporary and traditional images and ideas. Simple and clear, they display a minimalism in keeping with the Buddha’s life example, while inviting the viewer to delve deeper into the Buddha’s expansive teachings.
Xu Bin Jueyi is from Nantong in Jiangsu. He has had a passion for art from childhood, and
spent many years travelling the world to well-known mountains and rivers, learning from and
responding to nature. He has created a large number of sculptures, paintings and photographs.
Representative sculptural works include: the I Ching series (Heaven and Earth Tai Hexagram),
the Tibet series (Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Pilgrims), Buddhas (Considering the Fracture
series). He blends Chinese and Western cultures to create his own unique artistic style.
