艺术家简介Artist Biography
生于1967年，90年代初自中国中央工艺美术学院(现清华大学美术学院)毕业，后在中国艺术研究院进修，于90年代末赴美继续艺术创作。 曾于纽约艺术与设计博物馆, 费城佩德布莱德艺术中心，澳大利亚国家博物馆，圣路易斯LUMINARY艺术中心，以及北京中国美术馆，今日美术馆，英国杜伦大学等艺术机构展出其装置等艺术创作。2010受上海世博城市未来馆邀约创作大型作品 《和谐 塔》。在公共艺术创作方面，2015中英文化年，艺术项目《非常 建筑-东方遇见西方》于伦敦泰晤士河上巡游展出。2018年参与日本越后妻有大地艺术祭，以及2019年濑户内国际艺术节。
向阳的作品结合中国传统哲学，宗教思想，艺术及工艺于一身，以崭新素材形态融合西方当代艺术批判思维。在美国多年的生活经历，将向阳置身于东西方文化交汇点，以局内/局外人的多重身份体会看似矛盾之中显现的统一性，通过艺术探讨生存的矛盾及意念状态之间的关系。其作品为英国杜伦大学、中国美术馆、今日美术馆等机构永久收藏。
