Shen Shaomin (沈少民, born 1956, Heilongjiang Province, China) is an artist based in Sydney, and Beijing.〔http://www.shenshaomin.com/relavent02.html〕〔http://www.sohojournal.com/content/distortion-shen-shaomin-eli-klein-fine-art〕 He has exhibited internationally in exhibitions including the 2006 Liverpool Biennial, Mahjong at Museum of Fine Arts Bern in Switzerland and Dialogue at East West Gallery in Melbourne. Shen Shaomin's art is designed to make people think about the world around them, and the impact that they have on the world, both as individuals and as members of the human race. He first became famous for creating fantastic creatures out of skeletons. These creatures include a giant mosquito, a centaur, and a three-headed beast, among others. In an interview from December 2006, Shen said, "Some people seem to think that I make only one type of work. But they are only works from one stage of my life. In each stage I choose a different material." 〔http://www.shenshaomin.com/relavent02.html〕 He has since passed through many stages of artistic creation. Today, his works include skeletons of mythical creatures, experimental fields (also constructed out of bones), bonsais, the Summit installation, Fighter X, and Kowtow Pump. ==Early Years== Shen grew up in A Cheng Town, Heilongjiang Province. His father was a carpenter. As a child, he was fascinated by mechanics, and he liked to deconstruct and reconstruct objects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fighter X - by Shen Shaomin )〕 Shen studied art history for three years at Harbin College of Education. His artistic career began with print-making in 1979. He later switched to making soft sculptures out of defective fabric prints from a textile printing and dying factory. He visited Australia in 1989 for an international print conference; he returned a month later for an exhibition, and then returned again in 1990. Shen returned to China while working on his skeletal creatures because of the many animal protection laws in Australia preventing him from acquiring bones.〔http://www.shenshaomin.com/relavent02.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shen Shaomin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
