创作理念 Artwork Concept
在 Universale这件作品中我涉及了纯粹的雕塑问题，如形式、综合性、空间性，以及寻找文化起源的人类学探索、第一次对人类和上帝的描绘。另外，通过象征、材料和技术，我还涉及了当代文化的问题。 Universale的灵感来自纸张，在他的清晰的表面中，包含着三维空间，这对普通接收者来说并不明显。在不知不觉中，一张纸曾经是并且仍然是所有重要思想和我们共同历史的媒介。
对称性是现实的基本特征之一。我在一张对折的纸上发现了我们研究的对象——人体、图像，它严格依赖于对称规则。通过不同长度和角度的线条布局、不同比例的表面、正负形式的组合，这件作品反映了它与人类形象的密切关系。
从人类对雕塑的描绘中抽象出来，综合的形式不是一个目标，而是起点，这是一张清晰的矩形纸张。作品的思想涉及平面/空间关系，在其平面中找到空间的突出特点，而不是仅仅模仿空间的深度。通过这件作品，我试图讨论文化的基本特征。这些象征着人类普遍形象的简单形式，对我来说就像人类在文化起始之时做的第一次描绘。
简化的、合成的雕塑形式以及描绘与人类有关的普遍形象的人类学轨迹是我为作品设定3 米高的原因。利用当今可用的工具和材料对我来说同样重要，我的目标是使用当前的材料和技术，结合古老的艺术形式，来创造雕塑。

In Universale I touch upon both purely sculptural issues, like the form, its synthesis or spatiality, as well as anthropological explorations reaching the beginnings of culture, first depictions of humans and God or writing. I also touch upon issues of contemporary culture – symbolic and material as well as its technological aspect. Universale comes from sheets of paper. From a clear surface that in itself possesses a 3rd dimension, that is not obvious to the average recipient. In an unconscious way, a sheet of paper was and still is a medium of all important ideas, our common history. Symmetry is one of the basic features of reality. It is then not surprising that in a half folded sheet of paper I've discovered the object of our studies – the human body, the image, that is tightly dependent on the rules of symmetry. Instead, through the layout of lines with different lengths and angles, surfaces with different proportions, negative and positive forms, finds its relation to the image of the human.
Simple, abstracted from human depiction of sculpture, where far-fetched synthesis of form is not as usual a target but rather a starting point – that is a clear, rectangular sheet of paper. Simultaneously the whole idea touches upon relations of flat/spatial, where form in opposition to relief, is not supposed to imitate the depth of space, but in its flatness find strong qualities of spatial object.
Through this work I'm talking about the basic features of culture. These simple forms, universal images of humans are for me like the first depictions made by men at the beginning of culture, when sacrum was resulting from the need of systematizing the world. In this sense, Universale possesses the element of sacrum-like figurines of Venus or creations of megalithic cultures.
Simplified, synthetic form of sculptures and the anthropological track of depicting universal images relating to humans in a character of sacrum was the reason why I’ve chosen a 3 meters scale for my works. My aim was to create sculptures, which with the use of current materials and technological capabilities will relate to archaic artistic form. It is equally important for me to utilize tools and materials available today. Struggling with a hard master of metal and forming it with industrial technology is for me a traditional sculptural gesture as much as shaping clay with your hands or wood with a chisel.
