丁乙 Ding Yi
Ding Yi is a leading figure in Chinese contemporary abstract art. Since the late 1980s, he has developed his signature “Appearance of Crosses” series, transforming the ” + ” and ” × ” symbols—originally precision marks from the printing industry—into a profound and globally recognized visual language. His practice spans painting, sculpture, spatial installations, and architectural interventions, exploring aesthetic order through infinite repetition and the shifting social landscapes of urban expansion.
Ding’s work has been exhibited at prestigious institutions worldwide, including the British Museum, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Venice Biennale. He was the first Chinese artist to collaborate on global design projects with brands such as Hermès and Ferrari. His works are held in the permanent collections of numerous major museums globally. He currently lives and works in Shanghai.
当代艺术家，中国抽象派画家领军人物。自 20 世纪 80 年代后期起，丁乙开始创作其标志性的“十示”系列，将印刷业中的精确标记符号“+”和“×”转化为一套极具辨识度的视觉语言。他的创作跨越绘画、雕塑、空间装置及建筑实践，通过对符号的无尽重复与演变，探讨理性逻辑下的审美秩序以及城市扩张带来的社会景观变迁。
丁乙的作品在国际顶级艺术机构广泛展出，包括伦敦大英博物馆、纽约古根海姆博物馆及威尼斯双年展等。他是首位受邀为爱马仕（Hermès）及法拉利（Ferrari）等品牌进行跨界设计的中国艺术家，其作品被全球数十家重要美术馆永久收藏。目前工作并定居于上海。
