艺术家方力钧(b.1963)于2023年5月17日至6月24日在金沙中国四季名荟旗下常设艺术空间金沙艺廊举行《方力钧陶瓷作品展》。此次展览展出中国当代艺术家方力钧近60件佳作，他所创作的皮肤造型陶瓷结构绵密却又吹弹可破，也让观众看到艺术家运用陶瓷这种艺术语言，在经典的光头形象以及艳俗色彩美学以外进行一场全新试验。
展览的主题「骨中骨，肉中肉」出自《创世纪》中神取出亚当的肋骨造成夏娃的故事，提示观众骨和肉是生命的源头，亦彰显了艺术家方力钧对生命真谛的深邃思考和创作进路。
Artist Fang Lijun (b.1963)'s latest solo exhibition Fang Lijun Ceramic work Exhibition in the Grand Suites at Four Seasons, the permanent art space Sands Gallery Macao from May 17 to June 24, 2023. Through the display of nearly 60 manuscripts, videos, ceramic experimental installations from different periods, and the latest porcelain prints, the exhibition showcases his comprehensive creative vision in the ceramic medium, transcending standards and the process and outcomes of his creations.
The theme of this exhibition, "Bone of the Bone, Flesh of the Flesh," is derived from the story of God creating Eve with one of Adam's ribs in Genesis, which reminds us that bones and flesh are the origin of life. Densely structured and highly delicate, the ceramics created by Fang Lijun not only reveal his profound reflection upon the truth of life and his creative approach, but also enable us to see how the artist has used the artistic language of ceramics to start a brand-new experiment apart from his iconic bald-head image and flamboyant color aesthetics.
