Danlu Peng

彭丹璐 · multi-disciplinary artist彭丹璐 · 跨领域艺术家

Working across sculpture, performance, drawing, and game — Danlu's work explores how structures, emotional, physical, social, can be unravelled, reimagined, or broken open to create space for new possibilities.

At the heart of the practice is the body: as mark-maker, performer, player. Physicality becomes both medium and message — a way to navigate the tension between control and chaos. They design playful frameworks — swings at the studio entrance, ceramic instruments, participatory games like “123木头人” — as portals into emotional depth. These ludic structures aren't escapes from reality but blueprints for engaging it differently: with mischief, joy, and vulnerability.

Much of the work navigates the outer edges of order — automatic drawings, broken ceramics, surreal creatures drawn from randomness — each finding new logic in what lies out of shape, out of order, or out of bounds. These outliers are not mistakes but messengers of possibility.

作为一名跨领域艺术家,丹璐的实践综合了雕塑、行为、绘画与游戏。她的创作探索情感、身体与社会结构如何被解构、重构,或从内部破裂,从而为新的可能性打开空间。

在丹璐的艺术实践中,身体始终是核心,既是绘画工具,也是表演者和游戏参与者。身体既是媒介也是讯息,成为在“控制”与“混沌”之间穿梭的方式。无论是用身体创作大尺幅地面绘画,还是邀请观众进入游戏仪式,丹璐的创作持续探讨结构如何限制、支撑,或被从内部解放。她的作品设计了充满游戏性的框架——工作室门口的秋千、可演奏的瓷器、参与式游戏——这些装置成为情感深度的入口。这些游戏性的结构并非逃避现实,而是提供一种全新的方式去感受现实:带着恶作剧的幽默、喜悦和脆弱,让人们以出其不意的方式感受到真实:从悲伤中找到快乐,从混乱中感受到安全,从游戏中发现美感。

许多作品游走在秩序边缘——身体的绘画、破碎的陶瓷、来自偶然的奇幻生物——在“形之外,序之外,界限之外”的状态中寻找新的逻辑。这些边缘的存在不是错误,而是新的可能性的使者。
