丁乙 DING Yi (Chinese, b. 1962)
Est: NT$130,000 - NT$190,000
手稿No.2 Script No.2 簽名左下：丁乙 09 Signed lower left Ding Yi in Chinese and dated 09 丁乙被認為是中國抽象派畫家的領軍人物。他 1983 年畢業於上海工藝美術學校，後從事玩具和玩具包裝的設計工作。由於設計時「十字」符號是圖稿上用於標示套色過程中的座標，丁乙由此逐漸在「使繪畫僅僅回到形式的本質」的理想下，形成了自己最具代表性的創作「十示」系列作品。《手稿 No.2》鮮豔的色彩如水晶球，又像俯瞰城市夜景，充滿想像與當代概念。 Ding Yi is one of the leading Chinese abstract artists. After graduating from the Shanghai Art & Design Academy in 1983, Ding Yi was involved in designing toys and toy packaging. The "cross" symbol was used extensively on these drawings to denote the need for the application of colors. This experience gave Ding Yi the inspiration for his "Appearance of Crosses'' series of paintings, in which he sought to bring painting back to its essential formalist nature. "Script No.2" this abstract drawing is composed with vivid colors, seems like a crystal ball, or overlooking the city landscape at night, full of imaginary and contemporary conception.

This is not a peaceful city. There is shouting everywhere, giving rise to excitement, and now I want my work to express this kind of reality...I don't think so much about the future. Rather I want to express what is here now, because that is what's most important. China now, Shanghai now." -- Ding Yii Ding Yi is unusual among contemporary Chinese artists in his rigorous pursuit of what appears on the surface to be a practice of pure geometric abstraction. But while the surfaces of his work are indeed abstract -- and dazzling in their complicated patterns and effects -- a deeper engagement with his painting draws the viewer to contemplate the reductive vocabulary of the artist's mark making and its physical and temporal significance. '×' and '+'... '+' and '×'... The cross is Ding Yi's vocabulary as well as his grammar. There is no subtraction, only addition; division transpires only in the occasional separation of marks into their constituent parts, which multiply in a seemingly endless repetition the similar strokes. The lengthy process of creating such works, one stroke at a time, with the logic of the whole composition in mind, approaches a meditative practice that is all but anachronistic in the fast-paced urban environment Ding inhabits and, in recent years, wishes to convey in his painting. Unwavering from this singular pursuit since adopting the practice in the late 80s, Ding's oeuvre is all the more impressive for the extensive range of surface qualities and emotional expression he is able to generate. Appearance of Crosses -- 6 is a tour de force example of the artist's work, a multi-panel display of visual pyrotechnics that virtually pulsates with its own vitality. Ding Yi, too, must favor this particular work as it was selected as the cover image for the catalog of his recent retrospective exhibition at Birmingham's cutting-edge Ikon Gallery (to which Hou Hanru contributed an essay and Hans Ulrich Obrist an interview with the artist). Viewed at close range, Appearance of Crosses -- 6 reveals the remarkable regularity of Ding's hand-painted strokes; an astonishing degree of control and a full spectrum of color decisions have been made in minute detail that resolve into pattern and texture at any further distance. At medium range, one's eye is led to the complicated patterning of individual sectors across the extensive field of the image, which defies bodily dimensions, the artist's no less than the viewer's; one seeks in vain what rules might exist and the logic of choices expressed as pattern. At a greater distance, however, the eye takes in the whole of the composition and builds the relationships between constituent parts that allow the central cross to emerge, the colors darting left and right, up and down and diagonally like a massive traffic intersection of lights and colors in unstoppable fast-forward motion. This is the speed, intensity and dynamism of contemporaneity, painstakingly analyzed one calm stroke at a time. In revealing the cacophonous complexity of the contemporary urban experience, the artist forges an order amidst the chaos. And this is perhaps what is most inspiring: Ding Yi's unique practice offers a model for negotiating our own experience of the present. i "Resembling the World outside: Interview with Ding Yi and Hans Ulrich Obrist," Ding Yi: The Appearance of Crosses, Birmingham: Ikon Gallery, 2006, pp. 38 and 40.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective, qualified opinion. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSION CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE. NOTE "In Ding Yi's works we can see the passing of the time which is a course of long, enduring, and monotonous toiling. His "Shi Shi" is an expression of controlling will. It needs no enthusiasm, no inspiration, no imagination, but only a habit, a habit of toiling. Its purpose is at the completion of a painting-with no mark of beginning and finishing. We fail to measure its centre and rim with our eyes. As for the making of this work, it requires a high psychic quality and stable hands for a same action repeated thousands of times. In this monotonous repetition, the marks by short strokes and a picture by the linking of the marks arise out of a void, gradually become clear, and will finally fill out that void."
