在當代藝術市場中，黃宇興的作品一直以其獨特的視覺語言備受矚目。從拍場上屢創佳績的畫作，到與國際精品、潮玩品牌POPMART泡泡瑪特的跨界合作，他的藝術實踐正在突破傳統畫布的界限，將當代藝術的活力注入日常生活的每個角落。值得關注。
In the contemporary art market, Huang Yuxing's works have consistently garnered attention for their distinctive visual language. From his paintings achieving remarkable results at auctions to his crossover collaboration with luxury brands and the trendy toy brand POPMART, his artistic practice is breaking beyond the limits of traditional canvas, injecting the vitality of contemporary art into every corner of daily life. He is an artist to watch.
從黑白到螢光，光影中的藝術探索者 From Black and White to Fluorescence: An Explorer of Art in Light and Shadow
「螢光色是屬於我們這個時代的專屬色調，如同礦物質色彩之於敦煌。」黃宇興說。這位1975年生於北京的藝術家，其創作歷程猶如一場光影的探索之旅。在他的畫布上，我們不只看見色彩的變遷，更見證了一位藝術家對時代精神的深刻詮釋。
'Fluorescent colors belong exclusively to our era, just as mineral pigments belonged to Dunhuang,' says Huang Yuxing. Born in Beijing in 1975, this artist's creative journey is like an exploration through light and shadow. On his canvas, we witness not only the evolution of color but also an artist's profound interpretation of the zeitgeist.
在黃宇興的藝術生涯中，有一段長達十年的「靜默期」。那時，他選擇以黑白灰的單調色調進行創作，彷彿要將所有色彩的喧囂都化為沉思。這段時期的作品展現出一種近乎苦行的藝術實踐，藝術家在色彩的缺席中，反而找到了更純粹的表達方式。
In Huang Yuxing's artistic career, there was a decade-long 'period of silence.' During this time, he chose to create with monochromatic tones of black, white, and gray, as if transforming all the clamor of color into contemplation. The works from this period demonstrate an almost ascetic artistic practice - in the absence of color, the artist paradoxically found a more pure form of expression.

然而，一次喜馬拉雅之旅徹底改變了這種狀態。在那片離天最近的土地上，某種蟄伏已久的能量被徹底喚醒。迷幻而狂放的螢光色彩，如同解凍的春潮，以不可阻擋之勢湧入他的畫布，自此，他的作品也猶如春雷聲響，敲醒了市場對他的關注。2021年其作品《七寶松樹》在佳士得拍賣會上拍出含佣金6,483萬港幣（約台幣2.69億元）的驚人價格，2022年《樂園》又以含佣金1,610萬人民幣（約台幣7,216萬元）成交，奠定了他在當代藝術市場的重要地位。
However, a journey to the Himalayas completely transformed this state. On that land closest to the heavens, a long-dormant energy was fully awakened. Psychedelic and unbridled fluorescent colors, like a thawing spring tide, surged into his canvases with unstoppable force. From then on, his works, like spring thunder, awakened market attention. In 2021, his work 'Seven Treasure Pine Tree' achieved an astonishing HKD 64.83 million (approximately TWD 269 million) including buyer's premium at Christie's auction. In 2022, 'Paradise' sold for RMB 16.1 million (approximately TWD 72.16 million) including buyer's premium, cementing his significant position in the contemporary art market.

對於創作過程，黃宇興有著獨特的理解。他曾經在一次訪談中表示：「我一直在不斷地嘗試新的東西，然後去否定自己；每次否定自己，我就會再往前走一步。」這種不斷突破的精神，使他的作品既保持了強烈的個人特色，又能與不同領域展開對話。
Regarding the creative process, Huang Yuxing has a unique understanding. In an interview, he once said: 'I keep trying new things and then negating myself; with each self-negation, I take another step forward.' This spirit of continuous breakthrough allows his works to maintain a strong personal character while engaging in dialogue with different fields.
黃宇興在真正踏入市場這個染鍋之後，最引人矚目的跨界合作，莫過於和有東方愛馬仕之稱的家具品牌《SHANG XIA上下》攜手打造限量典藏系列。這個由設計師蔣瓊耳打造的品牌，向來致力於在傳統與現代、東方與西方之間尋找平衡點。在這次聯名合作中，黃宇興的標誌性作品被巧妙地轉化為一系列精緻的生活用品，展現出藝術與日常的完美融合。
After truly entering the market arena, Huang Yuxing's most notable crossover collaboration has been with SHANG XIA, a furniture brand known as the 'Hermès of the East,' creating a limited-edition collection together. The brand, established by designer Jiang Qiong'er, has always been dedicated to finding a balance between tradition and modernity, East and West. In this collaboration, Huang Yuxing's signature works were ingeniously transformed into a series of refined lifestyle products, demonstrating a perfect fusion of art and daily life.
在黃宇興X SHANG XIA的碳纖維屏風系列中，黃宇興選用自己不同時期的作品為主軸。六折屏風上的《九龍圖》將龍幻化為九棵貫通天地的松樹，象徵時代流轉；而《江山如此多嬌》則重構王希孟《千里江山圖》，以螢光色調展現東方山河壯闊。四折屏風《紅河》描繪水流，反思時間與生命；二折屏風《中國風景》則以奇幻色彩重塑山水畫，呈現超現實風格。每件作品都完美展現了傳統與創新的融合。
In the carbon fiber screen series of Huang Yuxing x SHANG XIA, Huang selected works from his different periods as the main themes. The six-panel screen 'Nine Dragons' transforms dragons into nine pine trees that connect heaven and earth, symbolizing the passage of time. 'Such a Lovely Land' reconstructs Wang Ximeng's 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' using fluorescent tones to showcase the grandeur of Eastern landscapes. The four-panel screen 'Red River' depicts flowing water, reflecting on time and life, while the two-panel screen 'Chinese Landscape' reimagines traditional landscape painting with fantastical colors in a surrealist style. Each piece perfectly demonstrates the fusion of tradition and innovation.

黃宇興的另一經典作品主題《氣泡》，也在和SHANG XIA限量典藏系列聯名的機會下，將其對動態美感的追求延伸到更多生活場景中。從屏風、條案到擱架，從雪茄盒到絲巾，每一件作品都蘊含著生命流動的韻律。
Huang Yuxing's another classic work theme 'Bubbles' has also, through the limited-edition collaboration with SHANG XIA, extended his pursuit of dynamic aesthetics into more everyday settings. From screens, altar tables to shelving units, from cigar boxes to silk scarves, each piece embodies the rhythm of flowing life.

今年(2024)年底，黃宇興的藝術實踐又有了新的突破。他與全球知名潮玩品牌POPMART泡泡馬特合作，推出了《Mega Royal Molly 黃宇興-氣泡》系列。這次合作以「生命不息」為主題，推出了400%（38cm）和1000%（90cm）兩種規格的限定版公仔。在這些充滿童趣的形象中，我們彷彿仍然能看到黃宇興對生命本質的思考，只是以一種更親民的方式呈現。
At the end of 2024, Huang Yuxing's artistic practice achieved another breakthrough. He collaborated with globally renowned designer toy brand POPMART to launch the 'Mega Royal Molly by Huang Yuxing - Bubbles' series. This collaboration, themed 'Life Never Ceases,' features limited-edition figurines in two sizes: 400% (38cm) and 1000% (90cm). In these playful figures, we can still glimpse Huang Yuxing's contemplation of life's essence, just presented in a more accessible way.

此外，值得一提的是，2023年，周杰倫在佳士得香港秋拍擔任策展人時，也特別挑選了他的作品《降落在兒時夢想的彼岸》，圖中有容易讓人聯想到童年的摩天輪、彩虹元素，也有閃爍的光點點綴，像是夢境，也猶如童話。
Additionally, it's worth noting that in 2023, when Jay Chou served as curator for Christie's Hong Kong Fall Auction, he specifically selected Huang's work 'Landing on the Other Shore of Childhood Dreams.' The painting features elements reminiscent of childhood such as a Ferris wheel and rainbows, along with twinkling lights as embellishments, appearing both dreamlike and fairy tale-like.

在這個講求跨界融合的時代，黃宇興用其獨特的藝術語言，為大眾展示了藝術與生活結合的無限可能。他的作品不再是展覽空間中的孤品，而是流動於生活各個層面的美學能量，在不同的維度中訴說著藝術的永恆魅力。通過這些跨界合作，我們看到了一位藝術家如何在保持個人風格的同時，讓藝術走進更多人的生活，創造出新的藝術體驗方式。
In this era that emphasizes cross-disciplinary integration, Huang Yuxing uses his unique artistic language to demonstrate to the public the infinite possibilities of combining art with life. His works are no longer isolated pieces in exhibition spaces, but rather aesthetic energy flowing through various aspects of life, speaking to art's eternal charm across different dimensions. Through these crossover collaborations, we witness how an artist can maintain his personal style while making art accessible to more people, creating new ways to experience art.
