从总体上说,刘士铭的雕塑艺术经历了两个大的阶段:一是新中国成立之后的毛泽东时代;二是改革开放之后的新时期。在这两个时期中,我认为都体现了刘士铭作为一位紧随时代而又具有创造性的雕塑艺术家的特征,同时也能发现他从中心向边缘转向的艺术历程。 Overall, Liu Shiming’s sculpture art has undergone two major stages: one is the era of Mao Zedong after the founding of New China; the other is the new era after the reform and opening up. In both periods, I think all embodies Liu Shiming’s character as an artist who is closely connected with the times and creatively. At the same time, I can also find out his art journey from the center to the periphery.
