【内容简介 | Summary】
欧洲几个世纪以来，将富有东方异域风情的瓷器、漆器、纺织品描述为不可多得的奢侈品并并为之着迷。这些艺术品从16世纪初从东亚进入欧洲，在18世纪中叶深刻影响了欧洲本土设计师并与当时的洛可可设计风潮紧密相融。时至今日，由东方图案为灵感演变的装饰艺术，依然活跃在欧洲各式各样生活之中，不断创造出瑰丽多姿的东方奇幻世界。
For centuries, Europe has described porcelain, lacquerware, and textiles rich in exotic Oriental charm as rare luxuries and has been fascinated by them. These artworks entered Europe from East Asia in the early 16th century and profoundly influenced local European designers by the mid-18th century, closely integrating with the Rococo design trend of the time. To this day, decorative arts inspired by Oriental patterns remain vibrant in various aspects of European life, continually creating a magnificent and diverse world of Oriental fantasy.
杨宇，现居住工作于伦敦，分别任职于世界顶级室内奢侈品手绘壁纸品牌de Gournay设计师、英国Gainsborough Silk Weaving纺织品设计师。他将结合自己在英国多年的行业实践经验，为大家介绍在西方思维与视角下，对东方文化与装饰艺术的使用。在他看来，自己目前的工作跟几百年前与欧洲那些密切交流的中国设计师、艺术家们所做的非常相似，是一种跨文化紧密相融的工作。他自己表示很幸运可以不断挖掘其背后的动人故事，用全新创作向世人展示。
Yu YANG, currently living and working in London, holds positions as a designer for de Gournay, a world-leading luxury hand-painted wallpaper brand, and as a textile designer for Gainsborough Silk Weaving in the UK. He will share his years of industry experience in the UK, introducing the use of Oriental culture and decorative art from a Western mindset and perspective. In his view, his current work is very similar to that of Chinese designers and artists who were in close communication with Europe hundreds of years ago, embodying a cross-cultural integration. He feels fortunate to continuously uncover the compelling stories behind his work and to present them to the world through his original creations.
“西方从没有停止探索学习了解东方文化，他们以一种非常务实、谦逊、聪明的方式研究学习东方文化，应用在日益多变的生活环境之中。” 在此次沙龙中，杨宇希望用自己的作品，和多年积累下来的经验，和大家一同探讨当下西方对于东方文化的吸纳与使用。
‘The West has never stopped exploring, learning, and understanding Eastern culture. They study and learn about Eastern culture in a very pragmatic, humble, and intelligent manner, applying it in an increasingly diverse living environment.’ In this salon, Yu YANG hopes to use his own works and the experience he has accumulated over the years to discuss with everyone the current Western absorption and use of Eastern culture.
