施承澤以作品”時光的縫隙”榮獲英國2025年全球最佳創意獎雕塑類金獎
Jason Shih has been awarded the Gold Prize in the Sculpture category with his work “Continuous Transforming in Time” at the Global Best Creative Awards 2025.

施承澤1972年出生於台灣。1991年就讀台北藝術大學美術系二年級時開始專攻金屬雕塑。 2001年畢業於美國羅徹斯特理工學院美國工藝家學校金屬研究所，隨後擔任金屬雕塑家Albert Paley的助手，參與工藝及公共藝術創作實踐。2015年畢業於中國美術學院，獲藝術博士學位。現居台灣，持續從事雕塑及公共藝術創作。

施承澤的藝術視野受到多種影響，從當代舞蹈到前衛時尚，不一而足。他表示，德國編舞大師皮娜·鮑許和英國設計師亞歷山大·麥昆是他的重要靈感來源。鮑許對時間和空間的探索與施承澤對雕塑體現動能和空間想像力的興趣相呼應。麥昆對當代圖像和主題的創新處理方式，為施承澤提供了廣闊的創作空間。

施的作品也受到未來主義和構成主義美學原則的影響，這些運動強調動態能量和連續運動。這些影響在他追求捕捉運動之美以及對自然力量優雅克制的追求中顯而易見。施的雕塑作品常描繪反抗地心引力的瞬間，以靜態的形式捕捉運動的轉瞬即逝之美。

身為職業雕塑家，承澤喜歡在細微的瞬間以感性的觀察體會生活的滋味，也喜歡在詩意的想像空間中遊戲造形的千變萬化。對承澤來說，藝術創作就是分享日常生活中的各種心思與故事。

Jason Shih was born in 1972 in Taiwan. In 1991, he began to specialize in metal sculpture when he was a sophomore in the Fine Arts Dept. of Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2001, he graduated from School for American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, and majored in Metal Sculpture. And then, he served as the metal sculptor Albert Paley’s assistant, involved in crafts and public art work practices. Furthermore, he earned his Art Ph. D. from China Academy of Art, China (2015). Now, he lives in Taiwan, and consistently engages in the both areas of sculpture and public art.

Jason Shih’s artistic vision is shaped by a diverse array of influences, from contemporary dance to avant-garde fashion. He cites German choreographer Pina Bausch and British designer Alexander McQueen as significant inspirations. Bausch’s explorations of time and space resonate with Shih’s interest in sculpture’s capacity to embody kinetic energy and spatial imagination. McQueen’s innovative approach to contemporary imagery and themes provides Shih with a broad canvas for creative expression.

Shih’s work is also influenced by the aesthetic principles of Futurism and Constructivism, movements that emphasize dynamic energy and continuous motion. These influences are evident in his pursuit of capturing the beauty of movement and the elegant restraint of natural forces. Shih’s sculptures often depict moments of defying gravity, capturing the fleeting beauty of motion in a static form.

As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.
