In his practice, Cai Zebin operates with an acute sensibility to the tropes of history of art which is then transplanting in his oeuvre. In “Perturbed” Cai Zebin adopts the classical sculptural form: the refined shape of the feet going up to the calf. He then uses bronze chess pieces underneath the heel to create a shift in the visual perspective. The work serves as an extension of the narrative presented in the work “Fulcrum”. In this painting, a pair of feet stands on top of two chess pieces in opposite position. The work explores the dilemma of baring temptation without getting tempted.
在蔡泽滨的作品中,时常能见到对艺术史和自己作品的反思与辩证,《忐忑》这件作品以撷取了雕塑中常见的脚部发挥,优美的线条一直延伸到小腿处,在脚跟巧妙的置入了使用不同材质的铜製国际象棋,提供视觉上的转换,像是在与其绘画作品《支点》做呼应,绘画中一对脚踩着两个国际象棋,一个朝上一个朝下,无法动弹,让观者感受到进退维谷,承受着充满诱惑,却又不可企及的复杂的情感。
