潘鈺（b.1959），生於南投埔里。實踐家專[湘陳1.1]經濟專科學校美工科（今實踐大學應用美術科）畢業。畫作均為生活態度影響下的創作品，當現實生活被緊縮到一隅時，被引發的反動力便可成為全場的新起力量。或許這是創作的快感，也是不易恆常的美感。不論屬於東方與西方，藝術是再生的創作力量，而其繪畫就是這種美學精神的實踐。1993年為本館遴選藝術家代表之一，參加第8屆「亞洲國際美術展覽會」於日本福岡市立美術館展出。
Pan Yu (b. 1959) was born in Puli, Nantou, and graduated from the Department of Fine and Applied Arts at Shih Chien College of Home Economics. Her paintings are direct reflections of her philosophy of life. When everyday existence is constrained into a tight space, the resulting reactionary force can become a new energy that animates the entire work. Perhaps this embodies both the exhilaration of creation and an elusive, fleeting beauty. Beyond Eastern or Western distinctions, art acts as a regenerative creative force, and Pan’s painting is the very practice of this aesthetic spirit. In 1993, she was selected by the NMH to represent the institution at the 8th Asian International Art Exhibition, held at the Fukuoka Art Museum in Japan.
《扼殺》，為潘鈺1992年油彩畫布作品。對許多女孩而言，洋娃娃是童年中最親密的陪伴者，承載著成長記憶與情感寄託。作者以玩偶為題材，透過擬人化的重組與排列，有時呈現溫馨歡聚，有時則流露孤寂落寞。當玩偶失去與人的互動，也彷彿失去生命，只剩華麗卻空洞的外殼。作者藉由玩偶映照人與人之間渴望關懷、害怕疏離的情感，也展現畫家內心細膩而矛盾的童年心境。
Strangulation is an oil painting on canvas by Pan Yu, created in 1992. For many young girls, dolls are their most intimate childhood companions—serving as repositories for memories of growing up and anchors for emotional attachment. Using dolls as her visual subject, Pan anthropomorphizes her figures through deliberate arrangements, alternating between scenes of warm togetherness and feelings of isolation and melancholy. Stripped of human interaction, the dolls appear devoid of life, lingering as ornate yet hollow shells. Through this motif, Pan mirrors humanity’s deep yearning for connection and fear of estrangement, while unveiling the subtle, conflicted emotions of her own childhood.
