LI GONGBIAO

1984年生于河南洛阳，1999年至2007年从事石雕工作，2008年开始研习铁艺，曾自称“打铁匠人”。李共标的早期创作多使用铁器技艺打造功能性器物，后逐渐拓展至金属材料的实验性创作中，因循材料本性将视觉语言抽象化。他的作品在传承古典文化的基础上，以当代审美与精神进行再创作，使传统器物获得新的时代风貌。

李共标的近期创作多采用铋金属作为原材料，铋金属质地硬且脆，化学通性稳定，在空气中会迅速氧化，反射出耀眼的银白色光芒。液态铋金属被浇铸于泥模内，沸腾的泥水给雕塑的表面留下波浪般起伏不平的肌理，随机的创作过程大大丰富了作品的造型，使每一件雕塑皆为独一无二的孤品。

Born in Luoyang, Henan Province in China in 1984, he worked as a stone carver from 1999 to 2007 and began studying iron art in 2008. He used to call himself "Ironsmith". In his early works, Li Gongbiao used iron craft to create functional objects, and then gradually expanded to experimental creations of metal materials, abstracting visual language according to the nature of materials. On the basis of inheriting the classical culture, his works are recreated with the contemporary aesthetic and spirit, which makes the traditional utensils acquire a new style of The Times

Li Gongbiao's recent works mostly use bismuth metal as raw materials. Bismuth metal is hard and brittle, with stable chemical communication. It will quickly oxidize in the air and reflect dazzling silver-white light. Liquid bismuth metal was cast in the mud mold, and the boiling mud water left a wavy texture on the surface of the sculpture. The random creation process greatly enriched the shape of the work which make each sculpture has its unique language.
