Bullish | 牛氣沖天

語音導覽 青銅 49 x 17 x 27cm

  一隻健碩的犀牛身披盔甲,戎裝待發。沒有奔赴戰場的凜威,昂首的犀牛卻帶著一絲微笑,四肢壯碩如象腿,尾巴似火炬燃燒。這是作者賦予犀牛這只古老神獸的新的神情和精神。用當今的鑄銅技術加以鑄造,這只犀牛也仿佛從深沉的歷史裡走出,帶著思考和新的寓意,故此取名"牛氣沖天"。動物的形象在藝術史形成的早期有非常重要的影響,在當代的視覺語言和藝術發展,它的作品和詮釋也發生了很大的變化,作者對犀牛形象的轉換與重塑也意在對人與動物、生態、動物形象在藝術史裡的發展提出新的思考。


The sculpture "Bullist Rhino 牛氣沖天" depicts a powerful rhinoceros donning armor, poised for battle. Though lacking the fierce aggression of a charging warrior, this rhinoceros emanates a subtle smile, with limbs as sturdy as an elephant's and a tail aflame like a torch. Through modern copper-casting techniques, the artist brings to life this ancient beast with new emotions and spirit. Its name, "Bullist Rhino 牛氣沖天", symbolizes its emergence from history with a fresh perspective and significance. Animal imagery has long influenced the development of art history, and its representation and interpretation have undergone significant changes in contemporary visual language and art. By transforming and reshaping the rhinoceros, the artist seeks to provoke new reflections on the human-animal relationship, ecology, and the evolution of animal imagery in art history.
