| Concept | 大地から出た石が、北の天空を目指す角度で傾斜しながら伸び出し、ひょいとねじれて再び地下へと向かう。この人には「門」のかたちをしたモニュメントの連作が多いが、この作品のフォルムはその変形といえる。石をなるべく自然のままに扱い、割りノミを入れたままの線状痕と、叩いたままの痕跡を自然に残し、大地の中にすでに「形」は眠っていたかのごとく演出してみせる表現はさすがである。 In this sculpture, a stone comes out of the earth and extends with an angle towards the northern sky but suddenly makes a twist and returns to the earth. Many of the works by the artist belong to a series of monuments in the shape of a “gate”, and this piece is probably a variant. The artist’s mastery is fully exploited in how the stone retains its natural state, revealing lines and marks of chisel and hammer and impressing viewers as if the “shape” has always been there, sleeping in the earth and waiting to be chiseled out. |
