Inspired by the Chungcheng Stadium circular space, artist Chen Ming-hui created “Boundless Power and Spirit” using an arc that incorporates human figures to showcase powerful and graceful athletic movements. The arc was colored in red to symbolize athletes’ passion, confidence, efforts, positive attitude, and willingness to embrace challenges.
The artwork forms a “∞”, implying how athletes constantly try to improve and surpass themselves in competitions. The Chungcheng Stadium is located by National Freeway 1 interchange (a major traffic route), with the artwork’s size and noticeability, it has become a local landmark.
中正運動場設有標準田徑場,也可做為足球場,附近除了技擊館外,尚有國際游泳池與青少年運動園區等設施。藝術家陳明輝呼應場館圓形空間,打造公共藝術《無限奔馳》,作品以圓弧承載著運動員的姿態剪影,栩栩如生呈現運動員力與美的線條,並使用象徵熱情、積極、自信的紅色,展現努力不懈、勇於挑戰的運動家精神。
場域與作品組成雙圓連結成「∞」的符號,寓意選手在競賽中追尋永續進步、超越自我的生命價值。由於中正運動場位於中山高速公路交流道旁,為高雄重要交通要道,往來車流量相當龐大,而此件作品量體大且醒目,行經於此都能注意到,是座相當成功的大型入口意象。
下次經過可以數數看,作品中總共有幾項運動喔!
