語音導覽 紫銅 Red Cooper 880 x 220 x 458cm

  紫銅金鋼犀牛,它以象徵嘉瑞之兆的仁獸麒麟和犀牛作為造形基礎,富涵未來主義的思緒和後現代主義的奇想,用最為當代的語言表現中國傳統古老題材;透過「金屬鉚釘」、「硬邊結構」、「現代鎧甲」等三種犀牛被操控、被書寫、被符號化的過程中,生成足以貫穿並重新舖陳的獨創風格,內斂地訴說著東方哲思的核心精神,實踐以犀牛作為陳述當代議題的思考與關注。

The Golden King Kong Rhino is a monumental sculpture, measuring 880cm in length, 220cm in width, and 458cm in height, crafted from a copper material containing 98% copper. Under the leadership of artist Shih Li-Jen, a team of technicians spent thousands of working days casting, welding, and polishing the sculpture to perfection. Shih Li-Jen drew inspiration from the rhinoceros' muscular form as the primary theme and utilized concrete techniques that fuse sci-fi imagination to express the distinctive spiritual temperament and inner meaning of the Eastern artist. The rhinoceros horn, shaped like a thumb, embodies exceptional leadership qualities and a positive energy that symbolizes the powerful, unstoppable charge of the rhinoceros towards victory.
