^{中央音乐学院声乐歌剧表演学士，

英国皇家音乐学院歌剧硕士，

英国皇家艺术学院绘画硕士。

熊晏一，艺苑之博者奇才，其艺之境，超乎常规，跨越界垠，挑战复归艺道之本源。

以学术之精，深潜音画之艺象，合二者之似不相容者，难亦易也，此中潜藏之势，实乃艺术堂奥之精髓焉。

晏一：“艺术它本有的「性」与「能」，是自然抒发与唤醒我们本有的根本智「fundamental wisdom」而非以延展我们的概念心「conceptual mind」为能事。

艺术诸形，皆源于气韵之吐纳，塑‘变’而化时空之度，了生命之能而感知于形，了时空之矩阵，而得之自性本然。

我自幼习琴舞书画，深知各艺门之异同。

感共鸣之源，应特殊之向，渐悟存在之本、体悟生命之精微，是我艺术之宗旨即对古圣先贤之敬。

绘画并非止于视觉之表达，我旨在透过画面超越视觉之限，摆脱由视觉引发的头脑判断。

此非摒弃绘画技艺以强调观念，而更近于听觉之直观觉受。

若艺术仅崇尚思判，于我而言，其价值远低于音乐，因概念间之跳跃未能超越戏论之境。

停留于概念赋形者，内在无生命力，更无气韵可言，难以产生根本之新变与持久之共鸣。

画与音皆为圆觉妙有之法，空中有听，有中空看，同归与气韵之境，知而不守，声出而不压，笔简形具，得之自然。

呼吸「气」乃为艺术之根本，触笔落笔，入声出声，皆以‘肇自然之性，成造化之功。’

此即‘功夫’，了虚实动静并非对境，即得真意。”}

Xiong Yanyi was born in 1989, China.
She graduated from The Central Conservatory of Music,
Major-ing in opera performance, Beijing 2013. Since then, She received two MA degrees,
one in Opera Performance at the Royal Academy of Music London in 2016,
and the other in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London in 2018.

Xiong Yanyi, a versatile artist, goes beyond the boundaries of art itself.
She challenges and reverts back to the fundamental purpose of art.
She said that “the primary purpose of art is to express fundamental wisdom rather than the conceptual mind.”
This is an accurate representation of what art really resembles.
Yanyi's academic expertise enables her to produce influential and innovative artistic phenomena that appeal to a wide range of people, including both the general public and academic circles. Integrating two apparently incompatible aspects is both a difficult task and a potential advantage.
She has the ability to blend the profound spirituality and intricate depth of
ancient Eastern philosophy with contemporary Western structures, harmonies, and notions, resulting in an authentic creation of art and music.
Her works demonstrate a complex understanding of enlightenment, elegantly unveiling the interconnectedness of spirits and physics.
The ambiance radiates a unique aura of gravity and sophistication while simultaneously providing solace and revitalization to our inner selves.
Yanyi's core of art is that everything in the world can be fulfilled or transported by another thing, implying that our cosmos is made up of infinite containers.
They transcend the boundaries between the visible and invisible, shifting from our space-time to the realm of awareness, the physical form,
and even the subatomic particles known as quarks.
Consequently, her artistic expression, whether it be in the form of music, painting, or any other medium, is characterised by a form of non-dual awareness.
It is a completely suspended bottle, free from all expectations, that conveys its benevolence to everyone it touches.
She expressed her wishes for all of us to possess transparency and openness and resemble unburdened conduits, like unencumbered vessels,
capable of effortlessly traversing through all aspects of life.

When asked about her transition from traditional Chinese ink drawings to Western operas,
she said, "In the domain of art augmented by advanced artificial intelligence, only artists who harness 'QI' will avoid the absence.
I consider myself fortunate to have had the courage to allow the "Qi" to come to me, which initiated my enlightenment.
This seemingly simple act requires a great deal of patience and faith, resulting in a harmony that is evident in both opera and traditional ink paintings.
The transition between these two is like music (existing in emptiness) and painting (having emptiness within), which inspires us about the fundamental wisdom naturally in our lives.
A single breath of "qi" embodies the essence of core intelligence and compassion.
It is the intersection of autonomy and non-autonomy, allowing us to break constraints or delve deeper into life with a single breath.
Therefore, the specific manifestations of this seemingly abstract "Qi" in music are frequency, melody, rhythm, and rest.
Similarly, in other art forms, "Qi" manifests as various resonances, energy, magnetic fields, and other perceptible phenomena.
All art forms originate from a single "tune" generated by this breath of "Qi".
We can understand this "tune" as both a musical mode or tonality and a form of regulation, tuning the frequency.
Its essence resides in each individual's inherent ability—"can."
"Art" has its own "can" and "tune." In other words, art can tune and guide us to return to our innate completeness and unhindered nature.
If you tune in and unify with this home within you, you will naturally achieve unobstructedness and embrace duality.
In fact, duality is not opposition; rather, distinction leads to infinity and equality.
Therefore, tuning oneself with others serves as both the purpose without a purpose and the natural manifestation of the harmony between duality and unity.
Therefore, this is my perception of the true nature of art.”

^{艺术，这个深邃而博大的概念，其源头竟与一个简单的器皿紧密相连。

这器皿，我们称之为“China”，

它不仅是日常生活中的一件物品，

更是承载着千年文化沉淀的象征。

“China”大皿，是我们对于文化的传承与革新。

作为一个国家称谓，随着历史的发展，中国器皿的艺术价值不断提升，

无论是实用的器具或祭祀的礼器，都一直体现了我们不同朝代的政治和文化。

代表着华夏民族的独特气质与辉煌历史。

在当今分化的时代，这么一个独特的审美符号，

始终保持着自己在世界中的独特地位，

它从未被任何艺术门类形式所占有。

不被任何既有的框架所束缚。

这个符号既是一种文化的印记，也是中国文化精神指向的继承与追求。

人，作为这个世界上最复杂而又最精妙的存在，

既是物理的容器，也是精神的容器，更是感知的容器。

我们与天地这个大器相互呼应，相互融合，在不变的变化中寻求着生命的真谛。

这种追求，正是中国艺术精神的核心所在，

它体现了人与自然的和谐共生，

灵性与物质的完美统一。

器皿作为中国艺术的一个小小缩影，

它至大无外，至小无内。

融入在我们生活的每一个角落，包含了世间万物，

超越了单纯的艺术现象，成为了一种生命美学的体现。

在这个皿中，我们看到了真正艺术该有的智慧与创造，

看到了艺术与生活在精神和物质层面的的高度完美结合。

因此，器皿不仅是一个简单的器具，它是中国文化与精神的象征。

它代表着我们对于形而上者与形而下者在道器合一的生命美学中的探索与超越。}
