禅猫邀请您
欣赏他在秘密花园里收藏的
上海冬天
东子过着候鸟般地生活，当大雁飞过她的头顶时，她的心也跟着来到了南方，本来要到云南大理过冬天的，因为缘份住到了上海汾阳路110号的一栋老式西班牙别墅里，带着她一岁半的女儿开始了她的创作之冬。经过三个月的时间，她和周围的环境融为了一体，在她生活即艺术的状态里，我们可以看到陶瓷花开在油画上、大提琴脱去了传统的外衣，站在了花丛间，诗歌被印成布挂成了窗帘，浴缸里的青花小鱼们在交头接耳，古老的楼梯扶手高兴的笑成了娃娃，也许，还可以看到青花的麻将摆成花园楼台。。。。。。
“艺术使平凡的生活闪光
创作可以帮助我们抵达自由的故乡”
禅猫东子简介：
禅猫东子 本名王东 生于北京
1988年从北京工艺美校（现北京工业艺术设计学院）毕业之后，她留校五年专门负责神路陶艺工作室，并于1993年创立北京第一家陶艺艺术中心， 自1993年开始她前往贵州 云南 西藏 河北 陕西等地了解学习中国民间陶艺制作，并游历法国 西班牙 埃及 尼泊尔 等地了解学习世界各地民间陶艺制作。
1994年，她曾获得法国国家奖学金赴法国与法国陶艺家进行学习和交流；
2000年她的陶艺青花作品入选《拼诗活字》意大利芬泽国际陶艺竞赛展；
她先后出版的随笔《艺术花园-做陶艺的法国女人》、《烟盒》、《在大理的星空下接吻》及《写给上帝的情书》都记载了她学习民间艺术以及做陶的足迹。东子的青花线描传承了中国民间传统。
东子心里揣着对心灵故乡的幻想，不停地创作着、乐观地生活着。世上的一切对于她来讲都是她童话世界的玩伴。她的许多作品是留给宇宙的记忆、是给神看的，所以她并不在乎她的作品是什么、在哪里、属于谁。

Oil Painting, Installation Art, Ceramics, etc.
Zencat Invites You
To enjoy her collections from a Secret Garden
In the winter of Shanghai
Dongzi lives her life like a migratory bird; her heart leads her South when the wild goose flies overhead. She originally planned to go to Dali, but fate brought her to an old, Spanish-style house located at 110 Fenyang Road in Shanghai. With her 18-month old daughter in tow, she started her most recent creative project in the winter of 2007. During the last three-months, she completely immersed herself in her surroundings. In her collection, you will discover blue and white ceramic blossoms on canvas, a cello with a new face standing in the garden, poetry written on cloth and hanging on the wall, ceramic fish chatting in a bathtub, and more …
“Art can brighten our ordinary lives;
Creation enables us to return home to our freedom”

BIO: ZEN CAT DONGZI：
Original Name: WANG Dong, born in Beijing
Dongzi graduated from Beijing Art & Design Academy in 1988. After graduation, she ran a ceramic studio for five years. In 1993, she established the 1st Ceramic Art Center in Beijing. From 1993 onward, she conducted study tours of traditional Chinese ceramic art in many Chinese provinces including Shanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xizang & Hebei. She also conducted international study tours of world folk ceramic art in many countries including Spain, France, Egypt and Nepal. In 1994, she was awarded a scholarship from the French National Art Academy to study and work with French ceramic artists.
In 2000, her blue and white ceramic work Play Chinese Character for Poetry was selected for exhibition at the Faenza International Competition in Italy. From 2001 to 2007, she published numerous books of essays, including Art Garden – the French Woman Who Makes Ceramic，Cigarette Box，Kissing Underneath the Starry Sky of Dali and Love Letters to God. These books record her steps along the way as she studied folk art and made ceramics. The designs on her blue and white ceramic works are strongly influenced by Chinese folk traditions.
Always meditating on the birthplace of her soul, Dongzi continues unceasingly to create her art and to live her life joyfully. Everything in this world seems to her as the trappings of her fairy tales. The majority of her work is dedicated to the memory of Universe, meant for God to see, so she is not worried about what her works look like, where they end up, or to whom they belong.
