Harley King Kong | 哈雷金鋼

語音導覽 不銹鋼 Stainless steel  198 x 60 x 130cm

  《哈雷金鋼》以極富原始生命力的古靈獸——犀牛為雛形,犀牛的身軀融合極具東方神秘色彩的麒麟背脊與金剛杵,並運用當代的藝術語言,挪用象徵工業文明的錨釘元素。

  作品形塑出堅挺的山形背脊與剛直幾何的硬邊線條,讓犀牛宛如穿上一件甲冑;高聳的犀牛鈦金角,除表現出人性化的拇指特色,同時又像徵著中華文化中對公平、正義、積極向上以及不屈不饒的奮鬥精神。作品造型有如一台哈雷重機,融入馬達與馬鞍的設計,兼具速度與激情、科技與時尚。結合其犀牛抬頭挺胸的運動姿態,具備了穩定、祥和與端莊的本質,帶有當代、時尚、科技的精神,賦予犀牛前所未見的氣勢與威嚴。

The artwork "Halley King Kong" draws inspiration from the powerful and primitive rhinoceros, which transforms into a symbol of spiritual strength and resilience. Through the fusion of the rhinoceros' sturdy mountain-like back with the mystical Qilin spine and the Vajra staff, the artwork creates a powerful and striking image that speaks to the enduring values of human culture. The rhinoceros, with its humanoid thumb-like feature and towering titanium horns, embodies the spirit of fairness, justice, and upward mobility that lies at the heart of many philosophical traditions. At the same time, the rhinoceros' posture and movement convey a sense of stability, serenity, and dignity that is both calming and uplifting. Through its integration of contemporary artistic language and industrial anchor elements, the artwork also speaks to the complex relationship between civilization and nature. By blending elements of motors and saddles, the artwork creates a sense of speed and passion that is tempered by a deep respect for the natural world and a commitment to environmental sustainability. In this way, "Halley King Kong" becomes not just a work of art, but a philosophical meditation on the enduring values of human culture and the complex relationship between civilization and nature. It speaks to the need for balance, harmony, and resilience in our lives and in the world around us.
