Xu Min was born in a family fuU of artistic atmosphere; both of his parents were students in Shanghai Arts Institute of Liu Haisu. His father was one of the early domestic cartoon producers, and worked in Chuangli Cartoon Workroom of Shanghai in early 1940s, drew and filmed many short cartoon films. Xu Min’s mother was dedi- cated in canvases research and creation. His father affected Xu Min deeply, his interest for art was aroused from a child and had been started to study drawing from his five-year-old. After the gradua- tion from his middle school, his was engaged in scenograph and tinct result picture drawing in technique department of alarm. Itl 1978, he got into art of ceramic department of Central Academy Of Arts And Design with excellent score, and had stayed there for teach- ing since his graduation in 1982. And then expatriated to us. Xu Min has very independent style in ceramic art, not only has the spirit of western traditional culture, but also has the intense charac- teristics of the time. With strong artistic convulsion, to mom life in abiotic figuline; through his skillful mastering for glaze and chroma, we can find his apperception for Laozi’s philosophy of"both useful- ness & uselessness are favorable". Besides, it is a pioneering work that he applied the subversion skill of by inside to many of his works; it reflected the social transparence and the metaphor of people's essential cognition for traditional concept in the new century. He pursues nature, purity simplity his working, it is just as what China paintings believed "saving paper as gold", "saving ink as gold", and he also believe that "saving glaze as gold". He thought that fully glazed potteries were like " a raddled person " and lose the natural sense. So he tried his best to display the artistic effect of "like the lotus from the clear water, nature and unselfconsciousness" in his pottery making, to pursue unpretending and natural aesthetics. Xu Min thought one of the most suitable materials for shaping in the world was argil, it can resist the time and the testing of water and fair. Chinese people use gold, wood, water, fair and soil to represent and explain universe, and ceramic facture and composing process are also the process of gold, wood, water, fair and soil integrating. So a ceramic works can be explained as the concentrate of all universes. Development of art is to find new artistic modality and language, and potteries are most closed to the nature of human being, so the potteries is also trated as one of the most important representation materials with iron and stone. Xu Min has been engaged in the creation of ceramic art more than ten years, and integrated core skills into eastern ceramic art, dis- played a various ceramic world to people. 徐敏出生在上海的一个充满艺术气氛的 家庭,父亲和母亲都是刘海粟先生上海美专 的学生,父亲是我国早期卡通片制作者之一, 早在四十年代初期,就在上海创立卡通片工 作室,绘制与拍摄了许多卡通短片。
