「面具」系列作為著名當代中國藝術家曾梵志的代表作，一向備受觸目。去年《面具系列1996 NO.6》更以人民幣1.61億元打破中國當代藝術品的最高拍賣價。是次WOAW Store 引入ArTy ReTro®首個項目作品，邀請了藝術家曾梵志創作The Mask 限定藝術玩偶。當為人熟知的名畫角色化為可觸摸的立體玩偶，相信將會引起一波熱潮。
Mask Series, as a masterpiece of the famous contemporary Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi, has always attracted attention. Last year, “Mask Series 1996 No.6” broke the highest auction record of Chinese contemporary art for RMB 161 million. This time, WOAW Store introduces Arty ReTro® x Zeng Fanzhi project – The Mask limited collectible art figure. When renowned character is recreated into tangible 3D figure, a wave of enthusiasm is pleasurably anticipated.
曾梵志被譽為中國最具名氣的當代藝術家之一，於 1996年起創作The Mask 面具的畫作系列確立了他在藝術界的地位，從畫作中其極簡背景及構圖，凸顯畫中人物的衣著、動作以及戴著面具的表情，留下深刻的印象，系列反映了曾梵志在1993年從武漢搬到北京，與其他人一樣所經歷過的文化與社會轉變， 作品抓住中國人曾共同面對過的困難和憂慮，以及快速適應城市化的人們。
Zeng, lauded as one of China’s most celebrated contemporary artists, established his position in the global art realm with his “Mask Series” created in 1996. The minimalist background and composition stood out the characters’ dressing, gesture and the facial expression on the mask. The characters reflected Zeng and many others in the nation experience on culture and social changes when he moved from his provincial hometown of Wuhan to Beijing in 1993. Captured the shared difficulties and anxieties of Chinese people adapting to rapid urbanization at that time.
