张元从巴黎美术学院宾卡斯工作室学习回国后接任中央美术学院材料工作室,开始了在材料艺术领域卓有成效且具有创新意义的研究与探索,在绘画语言研究方面做了诸多尝试。他认为,对绘画规律的研究与探索是基于对绘画本体演化规律的认识和对绘画重要语言关系的认识。工作室经过近二十年的发展,在我国材料艺术学方面走出了一条独特的道路,积累了宝贵的经验,同时实现了他对艺术理想的不懈追求。 After Zhang returned from studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris and returned to China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Zhang Yuan began his research and exploration in the field of material arts with great achievements and innovations, and made many attempts in the study of the language of painting. In his opinion, the research and exploration on the law of painting are based on the cognition of the evolution law of painting ontology and the cognition on the important language of painting. After nearly 20 years of development, the studio has come up with a unique path in material art of our country and accumulated valuable experience. At the same time, it has realized his unremitting pursuit of artistic ideal.
