Daniel Arsham / Hourglass (Blue)

丹尼爾．阿爾軒 Daniel ARSHAM
美國 1980
 
二十一世紀最令人驚豔的美國新銳前衛藝術家丹尼爾．阿爾軒，他的藝術創作跨越了不同媒材與平台，並以觀賞者的體驗為出發點，透過材質的轉換丹尼爾．阿爾軒藝術作品時常帶給觀者驚奇的感官體驗。身為色盲藝術家的丹尼爾．阿爾軒，缺少對於顏色的敏銳度，透過單色或漸層的表現方式，充滿未來感的造型藝術，極簡又矛盾，重新解構我們對於材質以及空間的想像力。
藝術家對於考古的熱愛，跨越了時間軸，以新穎並帶有未來感的表現方式，再現了他跨越歷史、時空的藝術表現。此種跨時代的潮思，透過二維或三維的肌理堆疊，創造出宛如夢境般的視覺饗宴，細緻且層次豐富，丹尼爾．阿爾軒締造了一種永恆潮流。
 
Daniel Arsham’s oeuvre is defined by the use the contemporary icons of the late 20th century or millennial era, when technological obsolescence unprecedentedly accelerated along with the digital dematerialization of our world. This work, like most of the object that he turns into stone refer, or in this case resin, subverts the icon of the digital camera and turns its lens backwards on the viewer. Asking of them to question what it is they would choose to capture in the reflection of our age.
