我的大部分创作没有任何的叙事或说理。创作和创作者的心境息息相关。这是一种类似修炼的创作过程。不同阶段的创作体现了我不同阶段的人生感悟和体验。同时，我自己也通过创作过程本身感悟和思考着世界和人的本质。
不管我们生存的世界是真实的还是象佛教徒们所认为的“皆为虚妄”。 我总是希望我作品中闲适平净的人物和山石所体现出的洒脱清净的心境总能让人感到幸福和解脱。这是中国自古就有的一种文人精神。这种精神是一种崇尚自然的、清新脱俗的认识世界的方式。
这样的心境体验是解读本次展览作品的关键所在。
Most of my work there is not telling the story or a principle. Cause I think the connection between creation and creator is “ZEM”. It’s such a cultivation. Those four “C” are embody the different stage of my sentiment. And also reflect the my consideration of both humanity & society.
No matter it’s the truth our world is authentically such all “a illusion” which the Buddhists always says. I always wish my work could bring the people feeling with gentle and free. Cause that why I use the “Rock” element to do this exhibition. In the end I hope you could enjoy the “Harmony Spirit” which belongs to the Chinese tradition intellectual culture.
心 石
张勇一直以来表现的都是人和世界的基本母题，他的作品背后承载的是强大的精神体悟。
他从没被某个形式问题转移注意力，始终运用着雕塑中最朴素的语言，因为他把握的是艺术中恒常的部分，关注的是这个世界内在的本质。
这次展出的是人与石头的系列作品，张勇将中国传统文化语言中的山石和人统一、协调、一致、和睦，在“参天地，赞化育”的精神体悟中感知自在，从而一切都被消解在了静观平宁的超越之中。
近年来，张勇的作品开始走向明亮和轻松，这其中最根本的是他对人和世界的理解产生了新的维度，不再是单一的阴暗、焦虑和迷惘，他的作品中，多出了一些清淡、自在、散漫的诗意境界。同时这些变化也来自他对人性新的体验和开掘，他作品的形式变得愈发简朴、清新和含蓄，敛去了形式中的装饰成分，人的精神体悟被再一次充分地展示了出来。
张勇是一位具有文人气质的雕塑家，这在当下这个躁动不安的艺术生态中显得弥足珍贵，相信他作品中彰显的艺术价值会使他的作品拥有更持久的生命力。

Stone in mind
Zhang Yong’s works are all about the motif of Humanity and Society. His works carry out a powerful realization of his spirits.
By applying the modest language in sculpture, he is never distracted by the format. He holds the constant part in art and concerns about the essence of hardcore in the world.
Here displays his serial works for” human and rock.” Within the Chinese traditional culture, Zhang Yong coordinates the rock and human in harmony. In the context of Confusion, he surpasses and ends up with equilibrium.
In recent years, Zhang Yong’s works start to light up a bit. It roots in his new dimension in understanding of human and the world, no more unitary darkness, anxiety or confusion. He has shown more freshness, freedom and casualty with poetry expression in his new serials.
Meanwhile those changes derive from his new experience and exploration from human nature. His works turn out to be much simpler, more refreshing and implicit. Apart from those cliché in ornamentals, the spirit of human has once again been well performed.
Zhang Yong is a sculpturer with wisdom and poesy, which is rare price in modern art. We believe the value of his works will last vitality for a long time.
