藝術家本人將會出席。

白石畫廊香港榮幸宣佈弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼(Florentijn Hofman,生於1977年荷蘭)首次亞洲畫廊個展《玩遊世界》。霍夫曼以個人大型都市藝術裝置如2007年的〈橡皮鴨〉和2014年的〈大河馬〉聞名國際。本展覽將首次展出「線條」系列作品並重新塑造他引以為榮的公共裝置「玩遊世界」陶瓷系列作品。借助這全新的創作,霍夫曼在探索規模視覺的想法同時,從純粹的形狀和物料中發掘出美學。

「玩遊世界」系列的核心是將〈橡皮鴨〉和〈胖猴子〉等國際項目帶入畫廊空間。結合為不同地點所創作的雕塑於畫廊來連接與大眾的互動。霍夫曼特別選擇利用陶瓷為他首次亞洲展覽的主要媒介,皆因陶瓷為本地區的重要遺產之一。

此外,一系列全新作品「線條」系列將會在本次展覽展出。由簡單的線條繪圖組成反映出霍夫曼的美學形態。為了探索形態和形狀的本質和美感,藝術家以動物的外形創作了簡約的作品。霍夫曼故意挑選瀕臨絕種的動物為藍本,並刻意製造出比實體更大的形狀來強調人類對大自然的損害。以簡約的線條作唯一的元素來創作動物的外形。此線條不僅塑造了空間中的形象化形狀,還將其空間分隔出外與內。利用空間的可能性,霍夫曼希望與大眾透過形狀來作互動,並運用個人的幻想力來填充空間。

ARTIST

弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼
Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Kampen, The Netherlands in 2000; then followed his MFA from the Kunsthochschule Weissensee in Berlin, Germany. Hofman aims to challenge the audience's comfortableness by recasting the simply perspective on quotidian objects. The familiarity and positivity from the artwork allows the public to explore art in an affable way. Subsequently he crafts these into clear and iconic images; oddly oversize "toy" that alienate and unsettle through their sheer size and use of materials, such as Rubber Duck (2007): an inflatable giant-sized representation of a rubber duck bath-toy that has been seen in harbors across the world, from France to Brazil, New Zealand to Hong Kong, and from Pittsburgh to even Santiago in Chili. They are immediately identifiable and have an instant appeal. The attention Hofman gives to his surrounding let him examine the possibility of material and explore the essence and the beauty of form and shape. He expends his imagination by merging the local culture into his artwork and evoke the missing interaction. Social engagement and intercommunication are the key elements on Hofman's creation. Hofman generates an encounter for the audience to his universal aesthetic by sharing his drive for sculpture in public space. The joy he created allow audiences to abandon the idea of races and religions and enter the conversation with the artworks. By enlarging the creation Hofman aims to reflect the equability and insignificant of oneself.
