奧利弗.庫克
奧利弗·庫克的雕塑作品注重光的穿透性,通過細緻打磨雪花石膏,呈現出輕盈通透的質感。庫克的靈感來自日常生活中的光影變幻,如落日餘暉或清晨曙光,他將這些瞬間凝結在其作品中,為日常生活增添了詩意與浪漫。庫克的雕塑作品不僅在視覺上吸引人,更在觸覺上給人以溫暖和親近的感受。他的創作是一種對生活美學的詮釋與探索,通過對材料的細膩處理和形態的巧妙設計,庫克將日常生活中物件轉化為充滿詩意的藝術品。他的作品中有一種靜謐的力量,輕盈而不失思考空間,讓觀者在欣賞的過程中,體驗到一種心靈的平靜與安寧。
Oliver Cook's sculptures are characterized by their play with light, achieved through the meticulous polishing of alabaster to reveal a light and translucent quality. Inspired by the everyday interplay of light and shadow, such as the glow of twilight or the first light of dawn, Cook captures these fleeting moments, infusing them with poetry and romance. His sculptures are not only visually striking but also offer a warm, tactile experience. Cook's work explores the aesthetics of everyday life, transforming ordinary objects into poetic art through careful material manipulation and innovative design. His pieces possess a serene, contemplative power, inviting viewers to experience a sense of inner peace and tranquility.
