新加坡维多利亚公园住宅小区江景

RIVERSCAPE at Victoria Park Residence, Singapore

江景主要研究比例、表面纹理、颜色及细部方面的对比力量和相对物的二元性，让观察者感知宁静和分心。由3件组成的一套艺术作品遵循场地风水原则，放置在私人花园内，让客人拥有一席安静之地，进行个人沉思，其中利用水声营造极度优雅和幽静之感。

Riverscape is a study in the duality of opposing forces and contrasts in scale, surface textures, colour and details which stirs a viewer’s a perception of both calm and disruption. A series of 3 sculptural artworks adheres to the principles of the site’s geomancy, is set in a private garden responds to the client brief for an area of calm, personal retreat using the sound of water to instill a feeling of utmost privacy and solitude.

在这三块大型矩形花岗岩石上，创造性使用对比性分离面和抛光表面，这些艺术品展现了柯林・冈下胜美博士如何通过人为干扰对自然河流景观的阐释。这些景观向人们展示河谷网，水从粗糙表面流过。分离面的顶面不断重复出现整齐平行锯口，大量任意放置的直立抛光花岗石片伸入到表面上，然而仍旧没有破坏掉艺术品的整体韵味。从其“切割系列”中，我们可以感受到艺术家对侵蚀和永久过程的痴迷，在大胆干涉同时不忘保护整个石头的完整性。

Created from three massive rectangular granite blocks fnished with contrasting split face and polished surfaces the artworks presents the Dr Okashimo’s interpretation of a natural riverine landscape provoked by the inference of human interaction shows a network of valleys where water fows through and across the rugged surfaces. Perfectly straight, parallel, saw-cut incisions repeat across the split face top surface onto which numerous arbitrarily-placed, upstanding polished granite blades intercept yet support the rhythm. Part of his ‘Cutting Series’ it explores the artist’s ongoing fascination of the process of erosion and impermanence through aggressive interventions while preserving the integrity of the stone.

柯林・冈下胜美博士格言

Quote - Dr Colin K. Okashimo

“干扰和平衡朝着相对宁静状态发展……这始终遵循以下前提条件，亦即，为了表达宁静状态，需要将宁静同干扰进行对比。”

"Disruption and equilibrium, towards a state of relative calm…this follows from the premise that in order to express a condition of calm, one needs to contrast it with one of disruption."

石雕的吵闹对宁静可从锯口上看得出来，这些锯口有规律均匀排列，中间随意插入大量人造物品，突出了二元性。观众可在一瞥之际感受到对比的力量。

The chaos versus calm of the stone sculpture can be seen at a glance with the saw cutting taking place in a rhythmic and evenly spaced, inserting overtly man-made objects in a random fashion to add to the duality. An on-looker can sense the opposing forces in a glance.
