我-----一個獨(dú)立的軍人藝術(shù)家
在穿上軍裝之前，我早已立下了做藝術(shù)家的理想，并對當(dāng)代藝術(shù)一直保持著相當(dāng)?shù)年P(guān)注。
1984年，畢業(yè)于南京曉莊師范美術(shù)系，做了幾年的小學(xué)美術(shù)教師，后來就考了南京藝術(shù)學(xué)院的版畫系。
1991年，畢業(yè)后我就進(jìn)了部隊文工團(tuán)，從事舞臺美術(shù)的工作。在部隊一干就是近二十年。
從此我就成了“部隊里的業(yè)余畫家”。此后多年，我的生活大致可劃分為兩大塊，一邊是軍營的穩(wěn)定生活，一邊是多種類型的藝術(shù)嘗試——從架上作品到觀念攝影、行為藝術(shù)等等，此外，自1994年起，我還時常以策展人的身份出現(xiàn)，其中以1995年開始的《百家姓系列》系列活動最為令人矚目。
部隊里的文藝團(tuán)體相對還是比較寬松的，對我沒有太多的限制。當(dāng)然這肯定跟當(dāng)代藝術(shù)還是有矛盾，但就看你怎么協(xié)調(diào)，我個人是把工作和藝術(shù)分開處理。
1997年我在做《百家姓系列》作品的同時開始《英雄系列》的創(chuàng)作，這件作品的創(chuàng)作純屬偶然。
這一年我們團(tuán)排演話劇，出于好玩我穿上演員穿的五十年代的道具軍裝拍了一張照片，沒有想到效果很好，很像作品，于是我就把它放的很大，參加了同年在南京的一個展覽。
之后1997年——2002年，正直中國觀念攝影熱的時期，我就帶著它參加了國內(nèi)外不少展出，參加各種展覽時又讓觀眾在前面留影，然后再把許多的留影合在一起再次展出。同時也根據(jù)照片復(fù)制了大大小小不少油畫作品。
2002年我又把“穿軍裝的我”做成了雕塑，為了把一個平凡的人塑造成可愛的英雄，我想到了毛澤東，想到了雷鋒，想到了小時侯看過的木偶小八路，想到了兵馬俑，想到了無錫的大阿福，想到了泥人張，想到了卡通藝術(shù)。但更多的是想到自己，其實我想要表達(dá)的是對自己的懷疑，對身份的懷疑，甚至是對“人”的懷疑。在完成這雕塑作品時，我拋棄了一切技術(shù)手段，完全像小孩玩泥巴一樣，因為我沒有學(xué)過雕塑，所以一切反而變得簡單了。
2003年，取名《英雄系列》的雕塑參加了一個群展，首次在上海多倫美術(shù)館亮相。
2004年，我開始嘗試著把這組雕塑畫成油畫。
2004年6月，做為紅門畫廊的第一位中國訪問藝術(shù)家來到北京，后留在北京從事藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作。
到了北京后，我繼續(xù)把這組《英雄系列》雕塑畫成了油畫。
2005年這項工作得到了全面的展開，手法上越來越成熟，面貌也越來越明確，得到絕大多數(shù)人的認(rèn)可和好評。
2006年底在北京798的千年時間畫廊Beijing Millennium Time Gallery做了個展-----《英雄的造像》。同年，作品《英雄NO.12》被中國美術(shù)館（China national Museum of Fine Arts）收藏。
2007年分別在北京想象畫廊（Beijing Imagine Gallery）和香港一畫廊(Hongkong Yan Gallery)舉辦個展
今年2008年我又在北京今日美術(shù)館(Beijing Today Art Museum)成功舉辦了大型個展-----《最可愛的人》
近年來，大家談?wù)撟疃嗟木褪俏业摹队⑿巯盗小纷髌罚坝⑿邸痹诤芏嗳搜劾锒伎煲蔀槲业臉?biāo)志，不是我去找符號，而是符號找到了我。目前依然是軍人的我認(rèn)為這些創(chuàng)作有一種半自傳體的性質(zhì)，同時其中還包括著自己對社會理想的一種期待————
By Shen Jingdong:
In 1997, while I was making "the Book of Hundred Surnames Series" work, I simultaneously started the creation of "Hero Series", which was purely accidental. At that time I was already for the 7th year in the army cultural work group. Although these seven years served the army, psychologically, being continuously in the army’s creation way was starting to be repellent.
In 1997 our cultural group rolled the rehearsal modern drama "Tiger To be apart from Clock Mountain", which amused me as I tried a 50’s military uniform from an actor and I shoot a picture; the effect was pretty good and it turned out like a piece of art, then I printed it big.
Thereupon I did in the same year a solo exhibition in Nanjing, which I named "Image of Great Person".
Afterwards from 1997 to 2002, I participated in many local and foreign exhibitions, where the audience would take a photo souvenir in front of the image, then I would exhibit these photo souvenir in following exhibitions.
Simultaneously I had also working in many oil paintings according to the pictures done and subject.
In 2002 while in Nanjing, I made "Image of Great Person" in sculptures, in order to portray an ordinary person to lovable hero, thinking of Mao Zedong, Lei Feng, Xiao Balu puppet of my childhood, the Xian warriors, Wuxi Da Afu toy, Zhang China figurines and Japan's cartoon art.
What the most but to think by yourself; actually I wanted to express my own doubt to myself, even the general human doubt. While completing this sculpture work, I abandoned all technical methods, completely playing the mud like a child, and because I haven’t studied sculpture, everything changed to simple.
"Heroic Series" sculptures in 2003 joins "Dissimilar Same ---- China and Slovenia Art Exchange Exhibition", for the first time in the Shanghai Duolun art museum.
In 2004, I started to attempt to paint this group of sculptures.
In June 2004, I was the first artist invited for the launch of Chinese artist-in-residence program by Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, and I then kept engaged in the Beijing artistic creation.
In 2006 all of this previous work obtained comprehensive launching, as the technique became more and more mature, the appearance also more and more clear, approved and highly praised by an overwhelming majority of people.
Thinking of these 10 years, I am a serviceman, with an independent artist posture, not much cheered, not having much commercial opportunities and few exhibitions, but just keeping a deep love for art
