-------------------

[ Student: Zhang Yin, a powerful Zisha artist of the younger generation, born in September 1974 in Dingshu Town, Yixing. The works are rooted in tradition, but also have new features. They dare to make bold breakthroughs in shape and decoration, are fresh and elegant, and focus on connotation. The sand pot made by using the emission reduction method looks like a flower pot, like a plain pot, and the flowers and elements correspond to each other.

In the early 1990s, Zhang Yin began to learn pot art from Zisha Factory No. 1. For a long period of time, he was almost unknown. Years of loneliness train perseverance, and hardships make a person who is dedicated. An accidental hand injury in 2010 almost ended Zhang Yin's artistic career. But the gradual recovery from the injury and the gradual calmness and maturity of his thoughts are similar to a real phoenix rebirth - starting from the work "Persimmon Yuan" in 2011, and the subsequent works "Wuhua", "Eternal", and "Yuanfu" , "Getting Fruit", "Next Degree", etc., use the concept of subtracting pixels to eliminate complexity and simplify it. They exude a distinctive Zen style of returning to truth and observing the mind, which is deeply rooted in people's hearts and unique in art.

He draws materials from life, and after repeated pondering and conception, he forms his own concept. He removes the complexity, retains the bones, and finally integrates it into the pot. This is the characteristic of Zhang Yin's pot art. His works first make people feel like a pot, and then they slowly appreciate the mystery of the "spirit, energy and spirit" in it.

Zhang Yin is a person who is good at thinking and can always capture the small details in life. An accidental natural imagination or a friend's casual expression can become a source of sudden inspiration for him. In addition, Zhang Yin, who prefers flower utensils, also has many years of experience in light fixtures, and his line processing is meticulous and exquisite. Therefore, his works not only have the exquisiteness and fashion of flower utensils, but also the simplicity and elegance of light fixtures. 】
