Taiwanese abstract artist Tsong Pu created “New Wave” for the Southern Branch of the Coast Guard Administration, Ocean Affairs Council. Tsong creates art through various media such as paintings, sculpture, photography, and installation art. His works are mostly simple, rational, and poetic, showing remarkable skill that have led to him often being invited to participate in domestic public art projects. Inspired by ocean waves surrounding the Southern Branch of the Coast Guard Administration, New Wave contains simple-shaped “jumping” lines that resemble white waves stretching from the sea to the roof, giving its viewers unique power, imagination, and offering them a clear, oceanic image.
說起海洋,除了蔚藍海水外,另一個令人印象深刻的景象,非激起的浪花莫屬。
《新浪潮》是藝術家莊普為海洋委員會海巡署南部分署創作的公共藝術作品。莊普為台灣抽象藝術的代表人物之一,創作形式多元而廣泛,包括繪畫、雕塑、攝影、裝置藝術等範疇,作品多為極簡風格,理性卻帶有詩意,經常受邀參與國內公共藝術案。在這件公共藝術作品中,以基地周邊圍繞的海浪為發想,躍動的線條彷彿從海面延伸到屋頂上的白色浪花,如新浪潮般給予觀眾獨特的力量與無限想像,更從簡潔的造型中道出鮮明的海洋意象。
