Horse at Water
by Nic Fiddian-Green英國雕塑家Nic Fiddian-Green痴迷了近30年的“馬藝術”,以大型馬頭雕塑而聞名,名作包括位於倫敦大理石拱門前的雕塑以及在上海和香港展出的,Nic是當代為數不多的傑出藝術家之一,其作品被多位名家收藏。
此16尺高青銅馬雕塑靈感源於漢朝時期線條優美的馬匹。雕塑上清晰的縫隙不單融合青銅的特色紋理,更充份顯現時間及歷史對於造就此作品的重要性。在現代環境中展現微妙寬古代特色。
Nic’s 16 ft high ‘Horse at Water’ was commissioned in 2015 by The Swire Group; it stands proudly in the landscaped gardens of Via Fiori at Taikoo Place in central Hong Kong.
Inspired by the horses of the Han Dynasty, the 16-foot-tall sculpture rests on the surface of a water pool, giving the illusion of the horse serenely drinking. The distinct cracks on the bronze surface portray a fractured form, emphasizing elements of time and history. The sculpture also symbolises good and long-lasting fortune to residents and office workers in the neighbourhood.
