拍品資料及來源

陳世英自幼潛心中國工藝,亦鑽研西方寶石雕刻,不囿於傳統技術樊籬,能從固有的基礎上萌發意念。二十年長一筆一削的東方雕刻,呼吸沉浸西方藝術世界,內在精神穿梭不同現有形式。於一九八七年,融浮雕、陰雕、內雕及寶石特性於一體,創出舉世聞名的 Wallace Cut (「世英切割」) 切割技法,是他與寶石走上人生的第一個高峰,自此開展了長達十年創作期。

亢龍有悔,盈不可久;要越過高峰,先要經過幽谷。一九九六至二〇〇〇年期間,陳世英為寺院創製大型雕塑,更於一九九九年為台灣佛光山製作佛牙舍利寶塔,該佛牙舍利寶塔現於新建成的佛光山佛陀紀念館永久安放。 參禪禮佛,心無罣礙,生命得以昇華,走上人生另一階段。

陳世英精通光學、寶石學、色彩學、冶金學、人體工學,深化創作,使不同物質互為依存、轉化,共生共息,內涵至臻完美。陳世英花了八年時間,克服鈦固有的物理秉性,以鈦作成就珠寶的骨幹,造出讓人驚嘆的藝術珠寶和雕刻作品。

陳世英的創作路充滿傳奇,他不斷突破,開拓嶄新創作領域,挑戰難度,將不可能的變成可能。他的藝術珠寶存在無窮無盡的創作空間,從世界級拍賣行,以至舉足輕重的國家級博物館,其影響遍及亞洲和歐美。

他是國際公認唯一兼具獨特創新設計和革命性技術,兩者融會貫通的華人珠寶藝術家,堪稱「現代文藝復興全才」。
