Movement of Spirits, a piece located in Cultural Center Station, was inspired by paintings of the Eight Immortals in Taiwanese folklore. The artwork introduces innocent children riding eight animals that symbolize land and ocean. The children hold traditional nanguan and Western instruments to imply the exchange between Eastern and Western cultures. The mosaic tiles are delicately embedded, and the children’s lovely and lively images evoke a sense of joy. The Kaohsiung Cultural Center is an important venue providing various performances for citizens as well as promoting Kaohsiung’s cultural development. This installation demonstrates Kaohsiung’s aspirations toward urban art development.
精靈樂章
捷運文化中心站的《精靈樂章》以臺灣民間信仰中的八仙彩為發想,畫面中的天真孩童騎著八種象徵海洋與陸地的動物,分別拿著傳統南管與西洋樂器,象徵中西文化交流。作品馬賽克鑲嵌技法精緻,孩童活潑可愛的形象更帶來歡喜愉悅的氣息。
文化中心為市民欣賞各種展演、推動高雄藝文發展的重要場館之一,這件作品設置於文化中心附近的捷運站,更彰顯對城市藝文的鼓舞與期待。
