鱼
Abstract Olive
2007
作品《鱼》以日常生活中所常见的鱼类为原型,造型简洁明快,散发着一种宁静平和的气息。《鱼》不仅象征着身处社会中的人类个体的处境,同时表达了艺术家Nick Wirdnam对人际关系、亲密关系和人际距离的看法:虽然我们都是拥有不同故事的个体,但许多人的基本体验是具有共性的。
Using sleek, simply sculpted fish as symbols for the individual in society, Nick Wirdnam creates a sense of tranquility and peacefulness in his pieces while communicating his sentiments about relationships, intimacy and distance between people. Variations in color, gesture and form suggest that while we are all individuals with differing stories, many of our basic experiences are universal.
