中環置地廣場變身絢麗繁花世界
春回大地,Van Cleef & Arpels梵克雅寶與2017年榮獲品牌贊助的Grand Prix Design Parade Toulon大獎的法國藝術家Alexandre Benjamin Navet攜手,於3月20日至4月28日在置地廣場豎立歡欣愉悅的藝術裝置,將花團錦簇的意象帶到中環。
藝術家利用個人風格強烈的斑斕色彩,將置地廣場變身一個夢幻世界,同時亦彰顯了中環置地透過藝術連繫中區社群的決心。兩者攜手利用迷人的花園營造一個沉浸式體驗,融會藝術與自然,反映雙方致力普及藝術、與眾共享的宗旨。
自1906年創立伊始,自然之美和生生不息的蛻變一直是Van Cleef & Arpels梵克雅寶重要的靈感泉源。Alexandre Benjamin Navet從這片滋養想像力的土壤出發,讓世家對植物世界的熱忱與自己追求的繽紛構圖融會,擦出精彩紛呈的火花。Navet借鑒世家的創作風格,設計出多組沉浸式裝置藝術,演繹春暖花開的喜悅。路經香港中環的訪客將可漫步於藝術家筆下的園圃中。雕塑、花束和花瓶裡燦爛盛放的芳菲,在拱廊頂交纏;在陽台上綻開,為週邊景色染上不一樣的色彩。
「我對春天的印象是滿園花開的景色;是豐饒勃發、大地換上綽約新妝的新氣象。我在創作過程中大量運用靈感來自 Van Cleef & Arpels 梵克雅寶珠寶作品和香港這個繽紛都會的色彩,與公眾展開對話,共同沉醉在春之喜悅中。」 - Alexandre Benjamin Navet
繪圖是Alexandre Benjamin Navet投入藝術創作的第一步。為世家是次企劃構思繁花競放的意象時,他特別神往於Frivole系列的璀璨光芒。微拱的心形花瓣以拋光金質鑄造,鑲嵌閃爍美鑽,藝術家以妙筆將這款世家經典傑作化為色彩斑斕的春之頌,謳歌萬象更新的季節。
