在“ALLURE OF STONE”展览中，探索为当代视角重新诠释的古老页岩石灵魂。MKAU画廊呈现中国艺术家Zachary Yin（殷振威）的艺术作品。这位中国艺术家不将石头视为雕刻的材料，而是将其视为原始的画布。超越传统雕塑，他寻找独特的页岩石，欣赏其内在结构、形态与纹理，随后直接在这些天然页岩表面施展绘画技艺，遵循“道法自然”的哲学——遵循自然之道。 In the exhibition "The Allure of Stone," explore the ancient soul of stone reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective. MKAU Gallery presents the captivating works of Chinese artist Zachary Yin. This Chinese artist does not view stone as a material for carving, but rather as a raw canvas. Beyond traditional sculpture, he seeks out unique shale, appreciating its inherent structure, form, and texture, then directly applies his painting techniques to the surface of these natural shale rocks, following the philosophy of "Tao follows nature"—following the way of nature.
His works exist between "intention and chance," where the artist's brush engages in a silent dialogue with the "history" of the stone itself. The result is a series of works "deeply meaningful beyond imagery," inviting viewers to contemplate the eternal beauty spoken by the earth itself, and the boundless potential of natural materials in visual art.

"Much like Bruce Lee’s water philosophy, art is formless. Pour art onto a canvas, and it becomes a painting. Shape it into sculpture, and it takes the form of a sculpture. Transform it into installation art, and it is an installation piece. Manifest it through performance, and it becomes a performance artwork. Art, at its core, is a way of thinking—a philosophical vision."
“Thank you to my dear friend, Singaporean-Chinese curator Mr. Zhu Xuemin, as well as Singapore’s MKAU Gallery, and my sincere gratitude to all sponsors! It is your meticulous planning that made this exhibition where stones "speak" possible; it is the cross-border bridge you built that allows my shale rock paintings to shine with unique brilliance in an overseas exhibition hall, letting the oriental beauty hidden in the stone grains cross cultural boundaries and converse with the world. Finally, I sincerely wish the 2026 Singapore Art Week a complete success and even greater prosperity!”
