Located on the entrance lawn of the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, The Encounter was created by Serbian sculptor Goran Cpajak. Cpajak utilizes abstract shapes to form a soft structure, where long, straight, rectangular pillars were transformed into curved, smooth objects. The minimal contact between various components engenders a sense of harmonious beauty between 2D lines and 3D parts. Concurrently, white marble, green grass and trees, and blue sky in the surrounding complement one another, creating a rich visual experience in the overall environment.
Cpajak wishes to convey the power of marble and encourages his viewers to think about the encounters between people, countries, and culture.
雕塑為公共藝術常見的形式之一，除了作品的造型外，其量體、材質與所在的空間環境之間為何種關聯，也是公共藝術關注的課題。
義大利裔塞比瑞亞籍雕刻家枸蘭‧瞿帕雅(Goran Cpajak)的作品《邂逅》，位於高雄市立美術館近行政區入口的大草坪上，藝術家以抽象造型構成一個柔和的結構，筆直的四方長柱彷彿輕輕陷入曲線圓滑的立面體，點、線、面間微乎極微的接觸道出線條與體積的和諧美感，同時，大理石的白、草地與周邊樹木的綠、天空的藍，彼此呼應，為整體環境增添了豐富的視覺感受。
藝術家希望透過這間作品釋出大理石脈搏跳動的力量，觀者與作品共處同一空間中，靜靜體悟與人、國家、文化的各種邂逅。
